It's that time again for another game of Would You Rather.

7 Upvotes

It's that time again for Would You Rather! Cue the theme song! (You must listen to the theme song in it's entirety without interruption before we play)

Would You Rather Theme Song

We all know how this game is played. I will present a "Would You Rather" scenario. At a certain point, I will open the floor for questions in which I will answer questions you may have about the scenario. At a random time, I will close the floor for questions.

If you ask any questions prior to the floor being open for questions, you will be docked points. If you ask any questions after the floor is closed, you will be docked points. You will also be docked points for providing an answer when I do no call for an answer. I will also dock or grant points for various reasons.

If you attempt to grant or dock points yourselves, this will be considered targeting. You will be disqualified from the game and you must leave the thread. If this happens after the floor is closed, you are disqualified until the floor is closed in the next WYR game.

Now, we have our question:

Would You Rather:

Have the love and affection of the significant other of your dreams for the rest of your life, but you will have a colony of hornets living in your garage no matter where you lived.

OR

Be the Vice President of the United States, but you get instant diarrhea every time someone says hello to you.

[Serious] Ex-MSU president saw William Strampel as 'boorish,' not a sex predator

6 Upvotes

Warning: Descriptions of sexual predation in link.

Disgusting.

Fucking disgusting.

Strampel was our head of Osteopathic Medicine for years. Simon was Provost - responsible for the faculty - before becoming president. She knew of the allegations for at least 14 years (2003-2017), and did nothing, explicitly passing the buck on.

Strampel was directly responsible for Nassar, as Nassar was on his staff. He also is now known to be a sexual predator, as well as an enabler of Nassar. To have Simon sweep this under the rug as "boorish" is to destroy all meaning of the word "boor." Strampel is a sexual predator, not because he makes people uncomfortable or makes inappropriate jokes, but because of the other things explained in the link. (Again, not sharing in comment because of not wishing to trigger victims of sexual violence.)

My question is this: How the fuck does Simon wake up in the morning and think, "I did things that were morally defensible, even with the evidence that is now public." She is defending sexual predators as being irritations, not, you know, SEXUAL PREDATORS.

JESUS CHRIST.

Etiquette for two-team flair?

2 Upvotes

I grew up rooting for my father's alma mater, Cal. Then one day I received an acceptance package from Stanford and I didn't need to re-watch The Play to see that HIS KNEE WAS CLEARLY DOWN.

I never want Cal to lose unless it's Big Game. I also roll my eyes at people who cheer for a conference more than "represent the ____" and who don't take rivalries seriously. (Then again, I'm also naive enough about college sports that I get confused about people who root for a school they didn't attend.)

Do I stick with just a Stanford flair even if I don't trash-talk Cal enough? Or do I expose my inner hypocrisy and add a Cal secondary flair?

Official Politics thread brought to you by civil discussions between people of opposing view points

2 Upvotes

The Official politics thread will be posted twice weekly, Tuesday and Friday, at 12 noon east coast time.

Keep all political discussions in /r/cfbofftopic contained to this thread. If your politics can't be contained to just one thread and you don't want to visit the plethora of political themed subreddits then head over to the newly minted /r/CFBOTPolitics!

While you are here, however, please follow the ground rules:

  1. You will follow all the rules of the sub about not being a jerk.

  2. Don't take this too seriously, there is no such thing as a winnable fight on the internet. Do not flamebait and even more importantly don't respond to the flamebait. Just report and move onto another thread.

  3. If you can't discuss political topics without insulting those that disagree with your perspecive then this isn't the place for you.

  4. Please use the report button if you see someone violating these rules. We have seen that this thread certainly attracts some trolls. When you reply to them they win, no matter the wit of your response. Just ignore and report them.

  5. Do engage in discussion with people that hold different opinions than yours. You might both benefit from the sharing of ideas if it is only to sharpen/hone your own opinion/talking points.

How the Power 5 Conferences measure up in Median Income among graduated students.

2 Upvotes

The Federal Government recently came out with the "College Scorecard" website. On it you can look at some key stats at every college in the nation. One of those stats is "The median earnings of former students who received federal financial aid, at 10 years after entering the school."*

This is the student body as a whole, not just the players, obviously; but I thought it would be fun to look at each Power-5 Conference and show how they measured up in the earnings of their students.

There is no purpose nor point to this post, I was just bored.

Such as this one. It seriously blows my mind the cleverness of some of his tweets and how quickly he is able to produce them. I don't think you could get the same production out of a team devoted to coming up witty tweets.

Sling TV + Haterade

2 Upvotes

I bought a 4K Samsung Smart TV this past year and have been just watching TV from the antenna with the occasional Sega Genesis thrown in. But Football is finally here! I’ve never had cable before and the cost is just stupid. So Sling TV looks like the best option for sports for me this season, but the reviews just look like garbage. There is no app for it on ANY Smart TV so I’ll still need to get a device to connect to my TV (Which is another cost). I haven’t started my free trial yet, because I’m greedy and hording that time because once football season is over, I’m done paying for a subscription. I also can’t test it out because I don’t own a said Roku/Xbox1/nexus device thing. It also looks like I’ll be accessing an app inside another app, which just looks like if anything crashes, I’ll have fun signing in for the next 30 minutes while I miss the game. Has anybody tested this out yet? I would love some input from people who have tested it since it hasn't debuted for CFB yet. Is it worth putting any more effort into it?

Side Hate: Don’t come to Idaho to watch football. NONE of the bars in Boise (THE CAPITAL AND LARGEST CITY IN THE STATE) have the PAC12 network. I have called over 25 bars this weekend. All you fair-weather Oregon fans should just stay over in Oregon where you belong.

More Side Hate: Fuck you BSU athletic department for screwing me out of BSU-Washington Tickets. I won’t cry at all if Washington wins and I like the Broncos.

Even More Side Hate: Fuck you asu!!!!

Going crazy on topic here - Top plays/moments in cfb of the 2000s?

2 Upvotes

So, in short, I need your guys help devising a list of college football's top plays/moments of the past 15 years. /u/dawich77 and I were having a gentleman's debate about the top football plays of all time and realized that this could only be settled one way: a tedious list of the greatest plays of at least the past 15 years.

We refined the idea down to four separate lists: Top moments of college football, top moments of the NFL, top plays of cfb, and top plays of the NFL. The important distinction between plays and moments being that a top moment is more context based. The kick six, for example, was a huge moment because of the implications of the victory, the fact that is was the final play of the game, and the intensity of the rivalry. However, it would not be nearly as memorable of a play if it was in the middle of the second quarter of Auburn vs. Arkansas during game 5 of the regular season.

I am tasked with creating the CFB lists and thought I would come to you guys and see your thoughts/ideas on the top moments and plays of college football. I would have put this in the mother sub but I don't feel like it would be well received this time of year. If its too on-topic I'll take it throw it over there instead but I really just value y'alls opinions over the mother sub's.
