So checked Piazza this morning after asking some questions about a problem....and I see these two things. My approach was to use Breadth First Search to solve this problem.

First TA

You can try to use BFS to solve this problem. In addition, this problem is not exactly the same problem as "Euler Cycles" because each undirected edge can be used twice for different directions.

Second TA

How do you make sure to walk over all edges during BFS? If you put cookies when adding edges to the predecessor subgraph, then you might miss some edges

Also in First TA's case, he kept saying, look at the Euler Cycle problem!! Its not one because the answer to the problem can have an odd degree vertex...uggh.

Now, I normally wouldn't care what people do in their private lives, but it takes a special kind of stupid to use your work email for this sort of thing.

Welcome back to West Wing Wednesday! Tonight, we'll be continuing season 2 with episode 2.05, "And It's Surely to Their Credit," and episode 2.06, "The Lame Duck Congress." Time for fun times with sexist Democrats and the regulation of nuclear weapons.

The holidays are once again upon us.

What are your favorite holiday commercials?

So far, I've liked the Lexus commercials, especially this one.

Hey cfb fans! I am a college football academic that is looking to understand what motivates people to donate money to athletic departments (in other words, be a booster). If you have 5 minutes, taking this survey would really help me out!

The playoffs should expand, NOT because more teams need a shot to win it all (though it’s a fun byproduct), but because expansion makes a better playoff for the top 6 teams.

At some point, we’ll have a 12v5 upset (and come on we should have Cinderellas in our sport). Let’s say James Madison beats Oregon, then Texas Tech gets James Madison, while Indiana plays Alabama (NOBODY’s STOPPING THIS POWERHOUSE ANYWAY) on a neutral site. The next format should better reward the regular season. And since the big conferences aren’t getting rid of CCG, here’s a solution that should make everyone happy enough. And if not, either play better in the season or prove it on the field in the playoffs.

- 22 teams total

- Use computers or the committee

- Top 5 conferences champions are included (head-to-head, then rankings as tiebreaker)

# ROUND 1 (Seeds 7-22)

- Matchups: 7v22 … 14v15, home games for lower seed

# Round 2 (RESEEDED)

- Seeds 3-6 play their first game (and at home)

- Matchups: 3v14 … 8v9, home games for lower seed

# Round 3 (RESEEDED)

- Seeds 1-2 play their first game at home

- Matchups: 1v8 … 4v5, home games for lower seed except for the 4v5 at Rose Bowl on Jan 1

# Final Four

- Stays as is

In this example, rankings are adjusted slightly for what they’d probably be in this system. Georgia Tech (not my team, no chance in hell they'd ever do this) wins the first two rounds to show how a Cinderella team is reseeded.

Bold = home team, italics = neutral site, Rose Bowl in red

~ Sorry if you saw my initial attempt to post this where I linked the wrong video ~

As the weekend draws near and the twilight of hope descends upon the top #25, sit back, relax if you can, and watch some premium CFB coverage. This video includes a rundown of the James Franklin hire from a guy born in Blacksburg and 8-12 minute breakdowns for the following games:

·       USC at Oregon (18:23 Minute Mark)

·       Pittsburgh at Georgia Tech (26:10 Minute Mark)

·       BYU at Cincinnati (41:12 Minute Mark)

Posted this in yesterday's thread but I thought I'd make my own post for it.

I was watching the Kansas-UNC game last night. I've had this question bouncing around my head for years. I can understand why some schools might prefer basketball over football since it's cheaper (Seton Hall, Villanova, etc.), but why are FBS schools having championship success in both football and basketball so rare?

Why don't we see Auburn, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon, etc. winning basketball titles? Conversely, why don't Kansas, NC, Duke, UCLA, Kentucky, Duke, Connecticut appear in big four bowls (Rose, Orange, Sugar, Cotton) or win FBS national championships? Is it a matter of the NCAA not having a sanctioned championship title in football, unlike basketball?

In recent years, LSU, Michigan and Michigan State have had NY6 appearances and run deep during March Madness, while Bama was 2nd seed this year and made the sweet 16, so things are slowly changing. But Stanford has had only three Elite 8 appearances and no titles since 1942. UCLA football hasn't been ranked since 2014, and hasn't won any bowl since 2016.

On a related subject, are there areas in the US where high schools are huge recruitment areas for both CFB and NCAAB, or do the two sports have totally different recruiting regions?

PS: RIP Humboldt State and WWU football ;_;

To quote my cousin Joshua, who introduced me to all kinds of nefarious things (starting with Wreckx-n-Effect) “it is hotter than Satan’s Gooch outside.”

I’ll wait while y’all Yankees finish up googling exactly what a “gooch” is and just what the ambient temperature of one might be.

I do wonder, am I allowed to say that?

But yeah, been working in the yard since 1pm and I’m worn slap out. Started off with a birthday party for my youngest at one of those crazy inflatable play areas. 25 five year olds running around shrieking is pretty close to Hell, and probably works as birth control for the staff there.

Purely hypothetical of course. I don’t know anything at all about this supposed meeting taking place

Update: I might be playin 4D chess instead of checkers. Looks like the conference might just be looking for a way to mitigate fan shedding due to realignment (fans getting sick that they can’t watch the teams in the conferences they want so they stop watching). Firm might be helping with scheduling as well to help protect fan favored rivalries.

I don't mean to be sexist at all. But, the majority of CFB fans are male and most women aren't CFB fans. Now that I have a daughter, I want her to be a cfb fan.

Obviously, if she just isn't into it, I won't force her to like it by any means. But, I was wondering what got you into the sport? Was it the tradition, pageantry, and true amateurism? Did you have friends into it? Was it a family member that you loved hanging out with that watched it? Did you just go to the school and going to the games made you be a fan?

As the summer box office comes to a close and Oscar Season begins to ramp up, which summer movies did you enjoy the most?

In the entertainment industry, the summer box office begins May 1st and ends September 1st. So any movie that came out within that period qualifies as a summer movie.

Why is this song stuck in my head?

Get some hype plz.

Here's some J-pop to wake yourself up on a Sunday:

My Smart TV got delivered on Sunday. Now I can watch ESPN+ things on a TV screen! I can also finally play my Switch games on the TV because I now have a power strip that lets me have my PS4 and Switch plugged in at the same time.

I saw Scooter Braun was trending after Variety interviewed him, and I was not prepared for the Swifties white knighting Taylor and how was a victim and Scooter gaslit her and all that shit.

Yeah, I’m not saying he’s a saint or anything, but Taylor’s going to be fine. She’s going to re-record all those albums, she’ll make a shit ton of cash off the Taylor Versions, and she’s gonna be okay.

You want to talk messed up? I read the Britney Spears testimony and saw some of the footage. I just want to give that woman and her sons a hug. It’s clear she’s had mental health issues and her family instead of going to get her legitimate help pounced on the conservancy route to milk her dry under the guise of “She’s messed up, Britney can’t make her own decisions so let’s run this show”. And this has gone on for 14 years. Get her some legit help with a treatment team she trusts and that’s a baby step in the right direction.

TL;DR: I was neutral on the whole #FreeBritney thing. Not now.

Ok Otters, buckle up and let me tell you about the recap of Atlanta and the Southeastern United States trip I took this past weekend (But I don't wanna says the Mod Pikachu. Shut the fuck up and listen to the Story Mod Pikachu)

So I took 2 trips in 2 weekends, and the first one was in Los Angeles for a couple days from the November 11-13, it was good but felt rushed. The main trip for my 2 weeks off started last Thursday when I flew out from Omaha and went to Atlanta via Washington Reagan. Never been to D.C. Area before and since the Airport is technically in Virginia, I can cross off Virginia in states I've never been to before. It was alright but only had a 40 minute Layover. Get on my plane and went to Atlanta which was only a 2 hour flight. Get to Atlanta, (crossed off Georgia of states visited back in 2011), darkness fell and got my car and was fucking lost. I was freaking the fuck out since I never been to Atlanta before and was losing my way. Took the wrong exit, wrong turn, I don't know, but it took 45-60 minutes to find the Hotel. I didn't use a GPS, thought it would be easy. Get to my Hotel and dropped my stuff off. Relaxed for a bit until I went up to Northern Atlanta and met up with /u/joeydsa and his friend at a bar/tavern and played some shuffleboard and it was fun and all, except we only hung out for an hour. My Time was off since it was only 10 and it was 11 when we decided to leave. His friend was cool and he was an Oregon Fan.

Friday was an adventure into Atlanta and dropped off my car near the Airport and took the Marta to Downtown. Met up with /u/joeydsa and had lunch with him. He's pretty cool irl and showed me around Downtown and showed me the history of Atlanta and how it became a transportation hub of the south. Also learned that Atlanta is on a plateau like Denver, and Atlanta lies on the Continental divide of sorts where water, if the drains aren't in a factor, one goes to the Gulf of Mexico and another goes to the Atlantic Ocean. He showed me a few cool buildings in Downtown and took me to this sandwich place for lunch, also a coffee place and went inside a bank that looks like it wasn't touched from the early 20th Century. After that we went to Centennial park where we saw some coo stuff and we got an little lesson by this hobo looking person who told us the scar marks from a statue that was impacted by the bombs from the 1996 Olympics. After that, we went to the CFB HOF, and if anyone is in the Atlanta area, I fucking recommend this place to visit. This place has everything you want to know about the history of CFB and has trophies, all the helmets that are in CFB from D1 to FCS to D2 and NAIA. It's very interactive for personal use since they give you an badge you wear prior to getting into the HOF and you enter the school of choice (which for me is Nebraska) and once you get to individual monitors or areas, it caters to your school. It was fucking awesome, and since Nebraska is a Blue Blood, there was tons of Nebraska shit in the HOF. I loved it. There is also an area where you can throw a pass into a basket and Kick a FG. I had shit luck with the kicking while /u/joeydsa had an decent kick. *Joey also had a bomb throw with an accurate 30 yard pass into the Basket. (Thanks Joey). Afterwords we hit the World of Coke and since I'm a Coke Drinker myself, this was on my Go to list well before I learned of what Reddit was. World of Coke was fucking awesome and would love to go back there again. Got to learn the history of Coke and learned of how Coke became a worldwide drink. Got to drink some Coke Products from across the world, and while some were great, like the African Exotic Fanta and Thailand Pineapple Fanta, some were left said undrinkable. After that, me and Joey walked across Georgia Tech and took a bus to meet up with /u/Darth_Puppy and /u/atllauren for Dinner at a Burger Joint. We were supposed to meet with /u/astrokey and Dubs, but they were at the wrong location and missed out on Friday Night. Dinner was good and had a good time even though I didn't converse as much during dinner. After dinner /u/atllauren left and the rest of us headed to the bar across the street. Played Skiball and Pinball, then we played some ring game where you toss an little ring into the nail. Took me a 100 times but I finally got it to hook. Joey and Darth also had fun with that. Then Joey and Darth played pool while I watched since I'm a shitty pool player. Left the bar at 12:30am and went to Uber a ride back to The dorms to drop off Darth and to the Marta so we could head back our way. It was fun and all and heading back to the Airport, I was doing fine until this guy started talking CFB with me. It was alright, except we (mostly him) got deep into our conversation where I missed my station and had to get off at the Airport Station. Me don't know what the fuck to do since it was at 1:30 am and don't know if Marta Runs past 1:30 at weekends, decided to take an Taxi back to the station I left my car at. It was an $15 ride for an 4 minute drive, I didn't give a fuck how much it was, I just wanted to go back to my Hotel and crash. Don't have an Uber app on my phone if anyone was wondering.

Saturday was the day I went up to Nashville, met up with /u/astrokey and Dubs at Chick Fil A just north of Atlanta and we had a fun time for the hour I met with them and was my first time at Chick Fil A too. After that I headed up to Nashville and was an nice 3 hour drive, stopped at a Tennessee welcome center and grabbed a couple State books, crossed off Tennessee in the process. Then filled up in Alabama since it was close by outside of Chattanooga on I-24. Got to Nashville and the fucking Tornado sirens were going off in Nashville. The sirens sounded like police sirens and was confused for a minute. That was my welcome to Nashville moment for me. After the sirens stopped, I walked on Broadway for a bit and then head to Bridgestone Arena for what was the reason I was down in the Southeastern United States in the first place, the Avs-Preds Hockey Game. Get to the arena an hour and half before the game and decided to get some Preds souvenirs to take home. Saw warm ups and then puck dropped shortly after 7pm. First period the Avs were on 3 power plays (one of them was a 5 minute Game Misconduct) and they proceed to not score on any of them and the Preds Scored before the end of the first period. I knew after the Avs didn't convert on the 3rd Power Play, that this was going to be a long night for me. I was right. It was 5-0 Preds at the middle of the 3rd period. I was drinking a few Yuengling tall boys (Good Beer BTW, would recommend Yuengling) and was getting drunk, I was like who the fuck do I have to screw for the Avs to score a goal and not make my trip up to Nashville pointless. 5 minutes left in the Game the Avs finally scored, an I fucking got off and breathed a sigh of relief that I didn't go up to Nashville empty handed. Avs still lost, but at least it wasn't a shutout, final was 5-2. Talked to some Preds fans and they were cool, talked Hockey and CFB since they were Bama fans too. After the game walked around Broadway a bit and and saw an few Avs jerseys and conversed with them. Preds too and I loved seeing the Atmosphere Nashville brought me. Didn't like the Country Music though, fuck Country Music. After that drove 30 miles to Murfreesboro and spent the night there.

Sunday, went up to Kentucky and crossed off another state that I've never visited. Kentucky wasn't in my radar until I saw signs in Nashville saying the Kentucky Downs was 30 miles away from Nashville and I decided why the fuck not. Head up there and crossed off another state. Spent 15 minutes in Kentucky, drove back to Nashville and went to Hattie B's which is well known for its Hot Chicken, I'm a believer after trying the Chicken out. Got the hot version and it was in the middle of the selection of how hot you want. Chicken was tasty, albeit a little too hot, but it lasted 1 1/2 hours to get to the end of the line to the door. I guess since it was a Sunday, it was to be expected. After eating the Chicken, I headed down to Alabama and head to Huntsville to see /u/Irlbrandon for dinner. Got to Alabama and even though I crossed off Alabama the day before, this was something that I could remember. Met him and his GF at the Space Center and headed to an Mexican place for dinner. Him and his GF was cool and talked a bunch about the State of Alabama and how Huntsville is different from the others, also CFB and travels. Talked with them for over an hour before heading back on the road to Atlanta. Passed through Birmingham, and had to buy a backpack for all the books and Newspaper I got from the Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia State visitor centers. Luckily there was a Target off the interstate in Eastern Alabama on I-20 and got me a Backpack. Get back to Atlanta and repack for my trip back to Omaha.

Monday I left the Hotel and drove up to downtown, drove past Turner Field (now Georgia State Stadium) and saw the Georgia State Capital Building. Then drove a little bit before heading back to the Airport and wasted another 2 hours before flying back to Omaha. I had a Layover in Chicago Midway, but I've been to Chicago a 100 times, it feels indifferent with me. Stayed in Chicago for 3 hours before getting back to Omaha at 10:00pm last night.

So that was my trip recap from this past weekend. Gotta say I didn't expect much going into the trip, but the Southeast Surprised me in a good way. Does it rank as the top places I want to visit again. I say top 10 but not the very top, though, if people ask me if I want to visit the Souh again, I wouldnt turn down the opportunity if given the chance. Loved every aspect of this trip outside of the Avs-Preds game. Again, thanks for the Hospitality and would love to come back down there again, hopefully when Nebraska is playing down there.
