I thought this was interesting enough to share:

...A slow drip of reporting over the past year has suggested that Snyder’s colleagues are souring on him. ESPN’s report is notable for what it says about one in particular: Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones...

...The NFL has never gone through with a vote to remove an owner. There’s a mechanism in place for it, though, and owners might’ve used it against the Carolina Panthers’ Jerry Richardson after his own self-immolation came to public light in 2017.

...NFL owners don’t like being stolen from, but they do like it when their fellow owners are able to build stadiums on desirable land, oftentimes (though it’s not clear what the outcome will be in this case) with help from taxpayers...

I've been a SuperFanatic forever, but today, I've got ads everwhere and a banner at the bottom asking me to upgrade. Can someone message me back and let me know if there was a problem with my billing or something like that?

Expansive, but attractive nonetheless, especially if you have an upscale car. I can see a car company like Tesla including them as an option, built-into the car. That way, the plate would be part of the design, and not literally screwed on after. It would also be one less source of potential rust corrosion. I have seen cars where, especially in the front, the design of the car was such that no thought at all was made into how to put a plate on the car.

Now that one company is doing it, I can see other companies doing the same, doing it better, and doing it cheaper. It basically is just an e-ink display, made weather-resistant.

Enjoy.

We finally had some carnage as over half the people get knocked off. 47 out and we are now down down to 45. @DarkStar takes over the tiebreaker lead.

Rules/How to Play if you are new:

1. Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
2. Don't pm me the pick, post on here your pick.
3. You can only pick that team ONCE the entire time you are in the game.
4. The goal is to advance and be the last person standing.
5. Only games that have a FBS school facing another FBS school are eligible to be picked.
6. You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch.
7. If your team loses, you are out for the competition.
8. If you skip a week of picks, you are out.
9. You can switch as many times up until the game you have picked officially starts.
10. If you have questions, pm me
11. Post 2 of the thread will have the possible games you can pick.
12. Post 3 will have each player and their previous week's picks.
13. You can only pick teams that are undefeated (they will be bolded).
14. You can't join in during the middle of the season.
    Please include prior weeks picks with your pick for the week.
15. If an undefeated favorite wins and covers the spread you gain a tiebreaker point. If an undefeated underdog wins you gain 2 tiebreaker points.
16. There is no tiebreaker point due to a undefeated team winning on the road as that is a tiebreaker in the big 12 elimination game.
17. Have any questions, pm me or ask in the thread. Thanks!

Lost set 1… behind in set 2. Serving errors and bad passing… Oklahoma looks ready to play and Iowa State seems sluggish

He had a monster day today, Over 100 yards today with a touchdown. Also has over 500 yards rushing and receiving for the year so far.

Hawkeyes 27 point dogs to Ohio State

TCU 4 point favorites over K-State

Texas 1 point favorite at Oklahoma State

Both are killing it today. Breece is going to be an all pro. Green Bay offense would suck without Lazard. Sucks for me to have to root against Breece

Thank god Utah still won

You have probably heard ISU is 1-8 in our last 9 games decided by 7 points or less. And of course, we've lost 4 in a row. I did a quick search to see if any other P5 teams have as many close losses this season as we do:

Iowa State 4
Mizzou 3
Nebby 3
Iowa and many others 2

I found it interesting that us and our neighbors have struggled so much in close games. I don't think that's a coincidence. There is some similarity in style of play, but I think there is a refusal to quit as well. Midwestern stubbornness.

I'm pretty sure the list would pretty much look the same if you went back to the beginning of last season.

What were the hats the coaches were wearing?
They had either CGA or CCA on them.
Anyone know?

I'm sitting here watching the Alabama Tennessee game and there is nearly a 100 points scored between the two teams. Remember when the sports casters used to give the Big 12 so much crap for such high scoring games. I just find it funny that they're narrative has changed on how superior they're offenses are now lol.

Just thought I’d get this out if the way early

Seven games into this season and we've only won ONE coin toss - ONE!!! Seriously we are 1-6 this season. Doesn't CMC know "tails never fails?!?" That's BASIC coin flip strategy. Heads need to roll!

/s

Seriously, there's only a 5% chance of losing a (50:50) coin toss on 6 of 7 flips. Just another indicator of how snakebit this team seems to be.

He called a good game. Not perfect, but a B+ is good enough in my books. Dekkers looked more confident. We'll get some Big 12 wins if we play like we did today.

We don't need a million different threads for what is bound to be a ******** of a weekend.

The consensus vote went 3-0 to start the year and is now on a 0-3 slide to bring us to 3-3 against the spread on the season.

Scott Drew and Bob Huggins were both on Pardon My Take Podcast with the stated goal of pumping up the Big12. Kind of cool to see the conference solidarity. Wonder if this was a Yormark idea?
