'Unbelievable time of possession, Indiana absolutely dominating this game'
FOOTBALL DOES NOT WORK IN THAT WAY
Nonsense.
Mouth-breathing morons have been telling me for years that time of possession is what wins footbaw games.

In the NFL it can indicate who "controlled the pace" of the game, but even then offensive efficiency is a better indicator
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
I was also reliably informed that Indiana was killing Michigan on number of first downs gained.
This may or may not have had anything to do with Robinson taking it in for a TD from 70-80 yards out.
Let's just say
that I remember times in the 80s when K-State would have a 25-12 advantage in ToP midway through the third quarter and be losing 42-7. By the end of the game, it would only be a 33-27 advantage because the other team would start killing the clock.
The Wiki (I Don't Have a Real Name Yet) -- The Blog (Those Other Guys) -- The Twitter
EDSBS Censor Librorum Promulgatio Media
Right, which is why offensive efficiency is much better
If the other team only has 25 minutes of possession but score on 90% of possessions, odds are they are the ones doing the dominating.

Remember the Oregon-UCLA game from a Thursday night last year? The one where it would have been 60-6, had we not allowed a garbage time touchdown? The one that made Rick Neuheisel look like this?
Yeah, UCLA had ToP dominated by nearly 2:1.

His proposal for how to get ND is probably along the lines of what it would take to get us to even consider a conference.
We wouldn’t because it would cripple ourselves as a national entity.
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
As long as ND has a BCS path and the NBC deal they won't join anybody
They have two sources of income they would have to split with other schools if they were in a conference. What’s the incentive to do that? I don’t blame ND either- they had the leverage to negotiate things that way to where they get into a BCS game if they finish above a certain spot in the polls.
They may lose that in 2014, though.
Unless they ratchet things back up again tout-suite.

Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man. If anything made by God can be overcome; anything made by man can be overcome -- Gus Malzahn
It's the product of having a truly national fanbase
ND routinely gets bowl games that we don’t necessarily deserve because we mean ratings. This is nothing new. The point PAK and are making is that if ND is BCS eligible (top 14 ranking I believe is the cut off) we’re getting selected. There’s few teams that can make that guarantee.

I always thought that was why BC had such a long bowl win streak.
Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man. If anything made by God can be overcome; anything made by man can be overcome -- Gus Malzahn
If you're in the top 8, you're REQUIRED to be selected.
Which, of course, if you’re anyone else and you finish 5-7, well, too bad so sad if you get left out.
I have no objection to Notre Dame being just as eligible as anyone else regardless of affiliation, and I have no objection to Notre Dame getting an automatic bid in the same manner as any other at-large team. But to have a system where you get special benefits just because you’re Notre Dame? No. I don’t care how special a school thinks it is, if it’s trying to play the same game by a different set of rules than apply to anyone else, it’s beneath contempt.

I get it
I don’t think it’s fair but it’s the same reason Stanford was going to get shafted if they hadn’t been automatically qualified last year. You have to have butts in seats for bowl games to matter (see last year’s Fiesta Bowl). Notre Dame has a big TV draw and fan base. Plus, while I don’t like them, rooting against Notre Dame is more fun than rooting for/against UConn, Iowa State, or Northwestern.

There’s no way to say this without coming off like a dick, so I’ll just say it.
I don’t give a shit what you or anyone else thinks they deserve. The BCS, hell, all of NCAA D1-A football for that matter, is a money making enterprise. If the rest of college football wants to be treated the same as Notre Dame, they can do what is necessary to develop a nation wide fan base. Notre Dame was the first team to embrace the idea of intersectional rivalries and because of that has fans in large numbers all over the country. I’m not going to apologize or feel bad because someone else doesn’t have the same kind of economic clout.

Those are two very separate arguments. The first is argument for the spirit of competition, the second is economic argument and have never been anything but.
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
I think they WILL lose it
because the overwhelming public sentiment is that it’s not a popularity contest. Most people actually WANT the MWC to get an AQ (or did before everyone bailed out). Most people WANT Notre Dame to stop getting “preferential treatment”. We inherently want equality.
And while it is absolutely true that money matters a whole hell of a lot, there’s a certian point where the public desires have to take precedence simply for PR purposes.
The Wiki (I Don't Have a Real Name Yet) -- The Blog (Those Other Guys) -- The Twitter
EDSBS Censor Librorum Promulgatio Media
ND having a BCS contract has nothing to do with the MWC
I think you’re suffering from confirmation bias. First things first, there is no “overwhelming” public opinion because the vast majority of people in this country don’t give a shit about college football. Those that do, AND want change in the BCS, want the BCS to go away all together. I highly doubt there is a very large segment of the population who are complaining that ND has a BCS contract, that aren’t complaining about the BCS as a whole. The only significant change that happens, if change is going to be driven by public opinion, is congressional intervention against the anti competitive nature of the BCS, not some relatively minor change in NDs contract.
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
Yes, because nobody has an opinion that falls under the umbrella of
“Well, if we have to have THIS, then we should change THAT.” If we don’t want THIS, then nothing else matters; we have to get rid of THIS rather than compromising by getting rid of THAT instead.

Do people have that opinion? Sure
I highly doubt that the number of people who see NDs contract as a major issue is as large as you think it is.
In 2006, Wisconsin finished 6th in the BCS and was left out because of the “no more than 2 teams from the same conference rule” and yet I didn’t hear a single complaint about the ND contract, even from people who were dyed in the wool ND haters
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
...because the one has nothing to do with the other?
The “no more than 2 teams” rule isn’t in place to make room for ND (or any other team). It’s in place because if you’re the #3 team in your own damned conference you don’t deserve one of the top bowl bids, period.

Now you're arguing against yourself
Either you want the spirit of competition and the best teams in the BCS or you don’t.
Either the top 10 get BCS games, or you have special rules that give consideration to schools that are necessarily as deserving as others.
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
I actually agree with you here
They should just take the top 10. The conference tie ins only make sense if there’s a playoff (it eliminates some of the subjectiveness in picking the playoff teams). If you’re just going to have random games, pick the 10 best teams. The conference tie ins and the ND exception are all the product of a good ole boys network where all the big names are negotiating with themselves.
Men, there's a little crippled boy sitting in a hospital who wants you to win this game. I know because I crippled him myself to inspire you.

Because preconceived notions about the relative strength and weakness of conferences play no part in the selection of teams for BCS games, even when the BCS actually takes the top ten teams.
Oh, wait. Yes they do.
“No more than two teams” is a rational means of preventing inflated notions from stacking the BCS deck. There have been years when there were four Big 12 teams in the top 10, and I wouldn’t have wanted to see the #3 or #4 teams from the Big 12 get BCS bids either.

However
There was a year where 3 Big12 teams “deserved” BCS spots (the OU-UT-TT 3 way tie)

Too bad, so sad.
I mean, I feel bad for Auburn that year they were undefeated too, but when you’ve got two spots for three teams, someone’s screwed.

Auburn brought it upon themselves
playing the lesser Louisianas and the citadel.
the secret ingredient is ... love?!
The Citadel was a last minute replacement
for Bowling Green – whose AD was an OU grad and paid his way out of the contract with AU to play OU that season – and even stated on record that the BG-OU game was one he wanted as an AD and would not let AU match the money. It’s patently absurd to think that 04 AU wouldn’t have beaten Bowling Green, yet had AU played BG, the computers would’ve had AU at #1 instead of #3.
And the 04 AU team is the second team in all of CFB history to have 4 wins vs 10+ win teams and a 5th win over a 9 win team. The other was the Sooner’s BCS MNC team.
AU was shafted because USC and OU have bigger fanbases and will bring more money to the table.
The Citadel was the red herring, as AU had beaten more 10 win teams before the bowls than the entire Pac-10 conference and the entire Big-12 conference.

But it’s kind of like Auburn in 2004. We have a great program. Traditionally, Auburn’s probably a top 15-20 program. But when USC and Oklahoma, two top 5-10 programs go wire to wire undefeated, there’s just no catching them. Likely not fair, but it happens.

If the rules were the same for every independent
then okay, fine. (You can argue that, had they been in a conference, they would likely have won it, so it makes sense to give them some auto-qual path.)
The problem is that the rule specifically calls out Notre Dame, not “any team not affiliated with a conference”.

I have to admit that they should have a little different rules. Nobody wants to see the automatic qualifying Navy team or BYU. Notre Dame qualifying adds a villain to the mix that makes for a compelling matchup.

You don't, perhaps, see the circular reasoning here
in which you were required to be given a berth (a) under conditions that no other non-conference champion would have been given one and (b) which other teams actually deserved more?

One of the three times
we were invited because the contract said it was necessary.

Really? They had to?
In the 3 BCS games ND was ranked 11th, 6th, and 11th. Only in 2005 was ND an automatic qualifier. In both 2000 and 2006 ND was the first at large team selected. No one was being forced to take ND outside of 2005 and even in that case, ND, had the rules of the Non AQs been in place, would have been a forced selection no matter what rules we’re working under

Plenty of more faithful sidewalk alums down this way and in Lynchburg, and a fair number in Richmond.

something I've noticed
a lot of families in lower socioeconomic brackets are hokie fans, often in semi rural places like lynchburg. VT is much more accessible to them as 1st or 2nd generation college students than UVa, and so, because hope comes with a degree of anticipation, they become VT fans. That, coupled with Tech’s location, is what gives it the redneck stereotype.

In all honesty, Kelly's offense is designed to be flexible.

Read "The History of White People"
In 50 years, all “Hispanics” and Asians will be in the “white” category, the same way Irish, Greeks, Slavs and Italians are now (100 years ago, they weren’t). Or, hopefully, we’ll have given up the whole nonsense of sorting people by race, rather than the true, scientific classification by college affiliation.
Either love your players or get out of coaching.
You know, for years I've entered "human" on race questions when allowed.
You have shown me the error of my ways. Thank you, sensei.

I like having the time for myself. It could be that I'm weird (or not a normal parent), or a by-product of being
a single parent for a year, but I am a MUCH better parent when I get time alone. It let’s me focus on them when they’re here. So, since I don’t have an outside job, I find something for them to do. So even the 2 year old goes to a preschool. She loves it, they love her, and I get a few hours to do real, adult things, like talk in complex sentences, and sit and eat a meal without getting up 5 times to get something.

This is pretty much the culture in Japan. I'm fairly familiar with a lot of the research etc
because one of the leading researchers is from ND, but still, it’s kind of a no-go here. The kids were in the same room for a few months, but then got their own rooms. Even now, our bedroom is off-limits. We don’t let them in much, no kids pics in the room (of them, or us), and no family pics. It’s just the 2 of us.

I'm a big proponent of co-sleeping, but then again I studied directly with Dr. McKenna for a good amount of time
The data is still being compiled and there’s always the “correlation doesn’t equal causation” argument, but the instances of Sudden Infant Death are much lower among couples who co-sleep. The theory is that it allows the child to hear your heartbeat and breathing patterns and it kind of “reminds” them how their own involuntary body functions are supposed to work.
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
How long do you do that?
I would be terrified of rolling over on the kid in my sleep and crushing him/her to death.

She has her own bed that we’re starting to transition her to.
The vast, and I do mean vast, as in like almost all, of cases of a parent smothering their child in the matter your describing are the result of intoxicated parents. We’ve been sharing a bed with our children, evolutionary speaking, for millions of years. Your body is hard wired to know how to handle it without even really having to think about it.
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
That makes sense in my head.
But my gut is still like “Oh no, we’d screw it up”. Of course, I’m a long ways away from having my own children, and I know everything changes then, so…

Co-sleeping is done in Japan for many reasons, and they find us putting kids
in cribs in separate rooms a pretty barbaric practice. I have found, as with most things parenting, there are many styles, and an infinite number of opinions about them. You find the thing that works for you, and makes you the most comfortable (in terms of you feeling like you’re doing the best YOU can in YOUR situation for YOUR kid), and go with that.
Tiger Woods in the Notre Dame of golf.
Agree with Stempke here. This wasn't the big concern; it was really that I'm not a good
sleeper, and KG moves around a lot anyway. Our older son was a middle of the night moaner. HE wouldn’t wake up, but was SO loud that I couldn’t sleep, so I had to put him somewhere else so that I could sleep.
Tiger Woods in the Notre Dame of golf.
I'm not actually against it, actually. We sort of lucked into buying a Co-Sleeper crib
which was GREAT for the first 4-6 months. The kids slept at the same height as the bed and with no barriers, but next to it, not in the middle of us, where I’d be worried SOMEone (not naming names, but not me) might toss/turn too much and wake up the baby.

We actually have one of those bassinet deals that attaches to the bed, but she doesn't ever sleep in it.
Nick Petrilli? I liked him better when he was NickBloomfield.
I REALLY liked this, actually, and we used it for both kids.
It was a really nice compromise for us. Along it was a PAIN to set up the first time

I think a large portion of the sad has to do with the gigantic pile of shit
we’ve dealt with over the past 2 years. Things have gone sour at three different places for me and Mrs. Rev (mostly due to other people behaving badly), and we’ll freely admit that at present a fairly sizable percentage of our happiness comes from family time. We know it’s unhealthy and it won’t be a long-term thing, but looking at my girls last night and thinking about our oldest starting school next year was reflection-inducing. Add in the end of summer, what looks like the end of what we hoped would be a much longer tenure here, and REALLY wanting a fresh start soon, and you get a sad.
And no, I’m not “old” – I’m 37.

a lot of lower schools do that-
recruit the hell outta kids, knowing they won’t get them as freshmen. A lot of signees get to campus, find that they don’t like it or that it’s too far from home or that their ego gets put in check, and decide to transfer, oftern to FCS schools or below. It’s what Wisc-Whitewater, Mount Union, otterbein, et al do. Those kids remember the schools that were good to them and go to where they’ll get immediate playing time.

For one, it is considered a Belgian Lager. For as much as I love Belgian beers, I would almost consider it not a belgian beer for being lagered at low temps. But of course this is a personal preference and my preferred style of Belgians are ales.
Doesn’t have much taste or body and just leaves me at “meh.” I’ve had many a full bodied Belgian Blonde Ale that keep me coming back for more…full flavor, funky, and a good finish.

Do not major in AE,
I repeat do not major in AE.
Every 20 years or so that field goes pretty much bankrupt and all the place that hire AEs stop and start firing at the same time.
Instead get a ME degree with threeve AE classes/minor. You will be able to interview for every job an AE can and also have options as a Me if things don’t work out.
Yeah, not so true.
Sure, if you want to work on engine bleed valve lifecycle tracking or some bullshit like that. Working in the aerospace field and working as an aerospace engineer are not identical things.
/also the cycle is way faster than that
there's not that many true AE jobs out there
also pretty much all the jobs you will be after will require at least a moderate security clearance so keep the nose clean
Which is why if you want one, you'd better really own it rather than taking a few meche classes on the side.
/also has a shit-ton of former colleagues with aero degrees outside of aerospace
//second part is damned solid advice though
At my school ME/AE
were pretty similar until 2nd semester jr year. I think to dual major was like 40 hours if done with that intent. Are you an AE. I work in that general area not doing AE type stuff at all.
Finishing up PhD in the field.
Can’t think of any of my industry or government contacts who don’t have aero degrees.
Security clearence shouldn't be a problem with me.
And I might get an ME minor. And if it is down, I’ll fly airlines or commuter until it’s back up.
Live to fly!
Go Gators!
Don't bother with a ME minor
It doesn’t transfer that way. All the ME jobs see it as I’ll have to train him and when the Aerospace market bounces he will bail. Are you going all the way or just an undergrad?
I was going to do undergrad, make some money, then come back for a masters.
Can’t afford to go all the way in one go right now.

that several Big 12 schools are actually getting closer to the B1G than the SEC academically.

Last season
on a typical Saturday, we generally had one thread per major timeslot; i.e. a pregame and noon thread, another thread for the 3:30 kickoffs, another for the 7pm kickoffs, and another for the late games (roughly). I really think if there’s a need for any more than that, then the pace of commenting is actually legitimately too fast to keep up.

more people will be at games, many people will be too busy watching their team to comment

I completely agree.
As is rightly pointed out, keeping up with a major thread is a full-time endeavor.

Not to mention keeping up with 3 or 4 games
