Have you been to Texas? All of that you mentioned is serious down here. ESPECIALLY the crazy speed limit shifts. on 59, you can go from 70 to 45 in 300 yards. Be like, "Wut."

This thread has potential.

I would add to Tilley's summary; - The Minne-Wisky game might be interesting. Minnesota isn't anyones bitch, I'm not even sure who to root for in that game. - I am nervous about a CCG against Wisky. The last two games we have played, the other team has had ONE weapon (the RB), and that guy still got off. We won, by virtue of our ability to put points on the board, but come on. Everyone in the state of Ohio knew that they were gonna run that guy, and he still gets 200? It's not like he's Adrian Peterson. - The PAC12 is as good as the SEC, THIS YEAR. I thought UCLA was dead a few weeks ago, but man, they look good now. I don't know that I would be eager to go out west and play them in the Rose Bowl (if this were last year). - I STILL think that if we win out, we're in.

College football is crazy. Used to be, if you had a dude run on you for over 200 yards, there was NO WAY you were winning that game. Now, you win by double digits. Minnesota doing what it can to help us out. Nebraska is still that bitch that we thought they were.

Well, except for their offense vs. our defense. LOL Be Hoosiers, get three turnovers (and one HORRIBLE horse collar call), 2 in great field position, still be losing at the half. This STILL isn't even a contest. OSU just needs to execute.

What I am seeing in here is a lot of reasonable, logical arguments FOR light rail, and outside of a few intelligent thoughts, a lot of vitriol and bitterness being spewed against it in the guise of detest for politicians. If you have an actual argument, make it. If you only want to hate on politicians, then lets create a separate thread for that. I'll be in there with you.

*Raises hand* I don't even live in my Columbus residence anymore, and I would STILL pay the taxes for it.

And yet he is now serving in his FOURTH term as mayor of probably the best city in the State of Ohio, and outside of Chicago, what may be the best city in the Midwest (yeah, I said that shit). I'm with Jesse, I'm not going to stop tolling around in my "Das Auto" just because I can hop on the monorail. But, again, as Jesse mentioned, that doesn't preclude a city from developing options. C-bus is already and incredibly bike friendly town, and serious efforts have been made downtown to increase the amount of things one can walk to and from. Cost of living in Columbus is low, but incomes are moderate...how much more would that be positively increased if one could live in columbus without the NEED to actually own a car? (I mean a reasonable, rational person, not some crazy hippy tree hugger extremist) The idea that one could trade a car payment, an insurance payment, and fuel costs for taxes is not necessarily a bad one, no? Especially if its done right. EDIT: I now have a man crush on Alex.

You see a light rail system as an effect of a bustling metropolis, I see it as a cause. I.E., "If you build it, they will come", as opposed to "If they come, you should build it."

All of the work that the rich folks aren't interested in doing or letting their children do. Opponents of mass transit crack me up. I suppose it's only broke ass folks that ride the mass transit in NYC and Chicago.

I'd like to see that, along with some rail that follows 70 and 71. Put a nice park and ride at the intersections of 270 and 70/71 and let folks take the train downtown. HUGE proponent of the "3c" rail plan, as well. (Cleveland, Columbus, Cinci, along with the other cities mentioned)

IF Spence were to be available (Big "if"), I don't think that you start him. D-Line has been playing this long as a unit. I definitely think you bring him in on passing downs, and use him to give a rest to the others, though.

On the other hand, "Best Scout Team DE EVAR".

The NY Times is not gonna let that go. That might be the one that pushes that situation over the tipping point.

Bro's if OSU played Bama and LOST, it would STILL be somewhat satisfying. At least then we could say, "OK, that's legit" and put the talk to rest. It would suck, but there wouldn't be anymore "Well, if this and that happened..."

:fuuuu: FUUUUUUUUU............

Tilley, see above. UGA will not make it in. If they win the SEC CG, that means that the only one loss team in the SEC would be Miss St (assuming they win out) as Bama would have lost to UGA in the CG. So, now the committee's only choice would be to leave the SEC champ out in favor of an SEC team that didn't even play for the conference championship, OR to include an SEC champ that has TWO losses to UNRANKED teams OVER several one loss teams. Not happening.

Indeed they are, but you are paying for the things you watch now. Roku gives you at least the choice to only pay for what you WANT to watch.

You would need one for each TV that you wanted to use it on, Pauly.

There has been talk of that, but many of the pundits have been saying that doing it that way is ridiculous for obvious reasons. Example: when A&M trounced SC on opening night, SC was highly ranked and considered a dark horse NC contender. It had a big effect on A&M's ranking at the time. We now know that SC is a fraud, and further, that A&M are as well. That counted as a "quality win" then, but it wouldn't now. Another example: TCU beat KState a little while back, and thus, KState dropped a few spots. Baylor will play KState in the future, and if they win, they will be beating the same team, albeit a lower ranked same team. The general consensus is that that win SHOULD count equally for both teams, regardless of what the ranking was at the time for KState. Our loss to VT, had VT continued to win and become a contender in the ACC, while bad at the time, would now be considered a "quality loss". As that isn't what has happened, it isn't. Although, their win over Duke helps the case a little bit.

That is a legit question. If I were MSU, I would be decrying this. On the flip side, I will be pulling for UGA hardcore in the rest of their games. Them winning the SEC would just totally wreck shit for the committee, and this needs to break quickly in order for us to progress to where we all believe it actually needs to be.

If the ATS is a stick, then that one.

Fucking Miss St, UNRANKED in the preseason. Preseason polls are stupid.

Agree. Unfortunately. It strikes me that, if OSU was undefeated, we would be playing the FSU role. Everyone would be talking about whether or not we deserved to be in, but looking for ways to exclude us. In fact, we might STILL be out. Or we would be battling FSU for the 3/4 spot. Shit is ridiculous.
