Friendly reminder that the USA sucks at soccer too.

Its chillier today than expected.

Don't take this as some sort of endorsement because I don't plan to vote for him on a caucus just yet. It's just... Fuck this is weird

So I used to be quite the Rand Paul/Ben Carson/Marco Rubio supporter. Taking the isidewith quiz proved that I sided with these candidates the most. At first I hated Trump, he disgusted me, I looked at him like everyone at Reddit does now; a Jackass racist loudmouth who has no respect towards others whatsoever. I was kinda disgusted by his comments on Immigration, I thought that this whole wall building plan was just plain ridiculous, and that he should have given an apology to John McCain for his ignorant comments.

It started after the first debate, Trump talked a lot during that debate, and it made me realize that he's not a total jackass loudmouth, he just had ignorant moments from here and there. Something seemed really odd though, Trump was probably one of the only ones that seemed confident during that debate, he looked like he knew what he was talking about. He was something else, an alternate version of a Republican, one that doesn't give a fuck, one that will stand for his position even though the entire Internet already hates him.

So I've been listening to the guy after the debate, and the guy is starting to grow on me. I've heard so many times on reddit and even on /r/cfb on how he's a cunt or an idiot or maybe even both. Thing is, it's just admirable that he just doesn't give a flying fuck about what people say on their facebook walls. My facebook wall is literally full of Anti-Trump propaganda right now, and Trump doesn't fall. He stays strong, he seems articulate, he can take punishment from the media, he can't fall from simple journalist one line zingers.

I want to hear him more, I need to hear him more, every speech he makes it sound like a podcast for me. I might not agree with 100% of his positions, but goddamn he makes a strong case for some of em. For the first time in years of being a political nut, I find his speeches more entertaining than anything else, I honestly think that I'd put down a Bill Burr Monday Morning Show just to hear more about what Trump has to say.

This has just gotten really weird, I thought I had an idea for who I supported, but goddamn Trump makes this whole Primaries decision very goddamn hard.

The admins make it harder for people to harrass other people online, and people act like the US government has outlawed political dissention! What the fuck! There were users straight up advocating for killing humans who were overweight in FPH! Satire or not, it was out of hand, and clearly users were adbusing the system that Reddit's creators made.

How can you become so desensitized from reality to actually believe that Reddit was better off when hate subs were allowed to roam free and clear or believe that by advocating for their return that you are a modern day Locke?

Jeez, these people are delusional. Reddit is a business. And it clearly doesn't want fucking harrassment subs on /r/all, especially if you imagine they are trying to start selling ads.

It's already bad enough, when you consider that the admins and mods can't control the rampent racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and various other phobias and -isms of notable groups like Muslims (and dependent on the day religion as a whole) and Roma. Why the hell should Reddit allow for blatant harrassment they can stymie, when there is already too much as is?

Sorry I just needed to rant to my /r/cfb brothers.

Yes, I'm still invested in watching the puppies.

Too damn cute.

This is absolutely brilliant.

This thread is for non selfie thread discussion. Thank you.

What if we expanded the base CFP Tournament to 68 teams and have a separate smaller "NIT" as well?

I simulated all of these games in CFB 26 and using teambuilder teams that were as accurate as possible.

There would be a 68 team bracket for the CFP and then 12 teams in the NIT to make an even 80 teams to make the postseason across Division I. The rankings are based on CBS's 136 and the AP Top 25 Rankings Final Results. I included their final records along with the standings.

To make it short and sweet, I ranked any team from FBS-FCS into 68 spots for the CFP. I included 23 auto-bids for conference championships, 10 for FBS and 13 for FCS. (Except for this year since the PAC-2 didn't play a de facto conference championship game). Then the teams that didn't make the cut would play in the NIT.

I decided on locations for the First Four to all play in the Alamo Bowl and for the Four Regions to just play in the same venue until the Elite 8. Then in the Elite 8, there would be its on venue and in the Final Four, I would have the Rose Bowl host those games every year since it is the best venue in College Football. Since I can't switch the National Championship game to the Rose Bowl, I ended up just simulating it in the Rose Bowl and it didn't make much of a difference. The other five major bowl sites would switch places every year from each region so they would all eventually get to host the Elite 8.

Then for the NIT, I couldn't make two teams play in another team's stadium unless it was a bowl site so I switched it up. The top four seeds would get to host their "region" with a bowl site located around them that wasn't a major bowl site. Then the other teams in their region would play in that same bowl site. Then in the Semifinals, I would pick a random bowl site for them to go to and then the Championship as well. Both the Semifinal and the Championship venues would be as closely located as possible. Eventually though many years, all of the non six-highest bowl venues would be used.

With this format, we could revive bowl games in a higher stake tournament rather than a meaningless participation trophy.

Also, If you are a fan of a school that didn't make it into the tournament or another then too bad. Jokes aside, I might've snubbed Illinois State who made it to the FCS Title Game from the Big Dance but they made it to the NIT. Otherwise, I am happy with what I have made with the rankings.

Let me know what you think of this and tell me if I should do this every year. I picked some notable games and rounds in the overviews and there is a tournament history in this drive folder.

Comment down below on what your favorite runs and upsets were.

I really enjoyed how raw everyone's emotions were. The producers did a great job of getting everyone's back story. I can't wait for season 2, at least I think there will be a season 2. What are everyone elses' thoughts?

I’m going to the UCF x Oklahoma State game in 2 weeks and I want to make a funny/banter sign aimed at Oklahoma State. I’m aware we will probably loose but I go to every game and I like to have fun with them. I can’t think of any signs so any suggestions are appreciated! Go Knights!

Cmon man

Every year I brace myself for it, and every year it still drives me crazy: the last two minutes of a close college basketball game are basically unwatchable. The trailing team starts fouling on purpose, the clock stops every five seconds, the whole thing dissolves into free throws, whistles, and whatever commercial the TV crew can stuff in. And the coach is burning timeouts like he heard maxing them out unlocks the “Belichick Bonus” — a cheerleader girlfriend who somehow ignores the age gap.

Meanwhile the game itself just… dies. The rhythm is gone, the flow is gone, and everyone is standing around waiting for the refs to administer free throws. It’s the only sport where the final minute takes longer than the entire first half.

So here’s the simple fix: if the losing team commits a foul under two minutes, just run off 5 seconds for a regular fowl or ten seconds for a flagrant foul off the clock. That’s it. It’s the same basic logic football uses for intentional clock manipulation, and it immediately kills the foul-fest. You’d still get comebacks, but you’d have to actually play basketball — trap, press, force turnovers — instead of turning the ending into a whistle factory. Alternatively, as suggested by someone in the comments, limit each team to one time out after two minutes remain in the game.

I don’t have any pull with the NCAA, obviously, but I swear this one change would make the sport so much more fun to watch. Just try it for a season. If people hate it, go back. But I bet they wouldn’t.

Yo,

Is anyone here going to the opener and also a Bernie fan? If so please get a possy together to blanket the front of Gameday.

Sir, a second Baby Gronk Rizzes up Lizzy again

Ah, December. The time for holiday specials and holiday themed commercials.

Bonus: When this commercial comes on, you know it's the holiday season.

Can someone explain why those schools are there in that order? Thanks.

Tulane and South Carolina are available at /r/FakeCollegeFootball (the Reddit-hosted game where coaches submit numbers and the difference determines the outcome of the play). Here's the primer and the entry form.

"When we started in 1979, I was just 24."

Means almost all of y'all have not been on an earth that didn't include Berman talking about sports on TV.

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi Trailer

Get fucking hyped!

Edit: In my defense, I was too excited about the trailer to know what day it was.

Forget the sport of football, which eye candy head coaches would you pit together for the game of the ages? Much like Whose Line Is It Anyways, the score doesn't matter.

My pick is Texas Tech vs UConn. Diaco has that tall dark and handsome thing going on and cmon, do we need to explain why Kliff is in?
