A graphic featuring the DNC Statement Four Years After the January 6 Attack on Capitol. It includes the following: 

β€œFour years ago, the world watched as Donald Trump directed a violent mob that stormed our Capitol, attacking law enforcement and threatening our democratic institutions. The peaceful transfer of power is a hallmark of our democracy – especially when elections do not turn in our favor. Democrats remain steadfast in our support of the democratic values our country was founded on and will always work to ensure that our democratic processes and institutions continue to function in service of the American people, whether we win or lose.

Donald Trump has lied again and again about inflation. Despite his rhetoric, he never had a real plan to bring down prices. His only plan is to make the problem even worse.

It's our job as a party to aggressively call him outβ€”and deliver real relief for working families.

As a buyer of the original Toto IV album, I totally agree (I like both)

Universal Declaration of Human Rights | United Nations A milestone document in the history of human rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights set out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected. It has been translated...

Today we celebrate Human Rights Day. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 remains as visionary today as ever. For all those who continue to hold firm

"transfer portal" is just "free agency." That's been present in all other sports for awhile now.

What is chaotic is that, unlike other sports, there's no collective bargaining agreement, so it's just kind of helter-skelter until we get one.

Why did playoff committee drop UNLV down so much because they lost a conference championship game?

Don't agree, but let's get on with the playoffs!

Sorry! LOL I was going to add that, if that happened, I think Arizona St would have jumped past Alabama for the 11th seed, knocking Bama to 12th.

All things being what they were leading up to last night, Boise State would have gotten it. They had a pretty significant head start on Arizona St. Sun Devils played really well, beat a ranked team, but so did Boise. I think Boise would have the edge for the 4th seed.

The NFL, of course, is a higher level of football than FBS College.

But college, to me, is way more fun

If SMU had won, they would have gotten one of the byes and Boise the other one, probably.

We find out soon. Me, I'm as sure that Boise and ASU get 1st round byes as I am that Oregon and Georgia do. Now, I'm not sure who goes to the Fiesta Bowl and who to the Peach

08.12.2024 16:36 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Except Clemson would be seeded 12th. I know SMU is ranked 12th, but rules are rules. Hopefully, they'll get rid of these byes in a year or two.

I think college football really needs to go to a scheduling formula, something like what the NFL does. Allowing the major schools to schedule their own non-conference games will always lead to imbalance. So hopefully one day the big schools will cede that. Until then, we're stuck with it

08.12.2024 16:23 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Everyone unranked they played, yes.

Look, I'm happy for SMU, if they get in today, great! I'll enjoy the playoffs with or without 'em.

But don't try to compare the two schedules, because they're not comparable.

BTW, inter-conference records this year, for no particular reason

TV has certainly assisted in the concentration of power in the sport. But that concentration of power has been going on for well over 100 years, even before TV. Sooner than later, we'll have another Division I sub-division, "FAS" maybe? Where all the really big boys go play.

If the Committee chooses SMU, fine. I don't agree, but life goes on and we start the playoffs.

I won't whine and bitch about it.

Not like the whining and bitching I'm reading this morning in the other direction LOL

Neither can be left out of the playoffs, they're both in. Whether they're both top 12 we'll see, but they're both in the playoffs for sure.

Notre Dame has played well this year outside of that one hideous loss they had.
