Top 5 things I'm looking forward to seeing during the SB:

1) Not Like Us performed worldwide on live tv during halftime

2) Saquon running all over the Chiefs. Love to see another big run like he pulled in the conference title game

3) Hopefully some good commercials

4) The Chiefs losing and crying

5) Regardless of outcome, Philly becoming unhinged

Finally...finally watched Dazed and Confused in full last night. As a full blown Linklater fan, this was my last box to check off.

Excellent throwback movie. The vibes were top notch. Man the 70s were so much cooler than today No phones. Long hair. Cool rides. Cool fits. MM's character lived up to its memetic legendary status. Ben Affleck played the punchable face douchecanoe very well. Parker Posey, Wiley Wiggins, on and on...just a hell of a cast.

Also finished Silo S1 last night.

Mind BLOWN It may have jumped Severance for me, at least for now.

No way the voters put the Fighting Pearl clutchers at #2 after getting dominated at HOME by Florida. The final score is deceiving the result was never in doubt.

Tennessee should be #2
Florida #3
Pearl Clutchers #4
Houston stays at #5

Duke falls to #6 after losing at a unranked opponent.


Gumps will be #1

Ranking is not based on 1 game. Auburn's resume deserves the #2 ranking. UT to #3. UF to #4. Duke to #5.

Tested positive for Flu A this morning. Haven’t had the flu in years, but this is rough.

Had it right after Christmas, and it turned into bronchitis... Get well soon.

Excellent throwback movie. The vibes were top notch. Man the 70s were so much cooler than today No phones. Long hair. Cool rides. Cool fits. MM's character lived up to its memetic legendary status. Ben Affleck's, well playing the douchecanoe. Parker Posey, Wiley Wiggins...just a hell of a cast.

No idea how old your are, but it's criminal that it took this long to watch that movie!

It is great.

Season 2 starts a little slow... But it picks up really well. Good show

As someone that cooks for a living for 30 years (there about). It looks great! I’m sure you both enjoyed it. I know I would.

Edit: this was supposed to be in response to @Smokey123’s pic of a his steak. Oh he!!, nm. Shut up to the rest of you.

I hope its a labyrinth of epic proportions.

Ranking is not based on 1 game. Auburn's resume deserves the #2 ranking. UT to #3. UF to #4. Duke to #5.

I'd still say #1. Only 2 losses all year, 9-1 in the insane SEC is...insane. #1 in KenPom. #1 in NET.

Would seem like an overreaction/recency bias to drop AU at all, especially with Duke losing too.

They had a big gap to begin with, cushion room to drop a game.

Ofc this will all figure itself out with these brutal stretches and the Iron Bowl x2 to close out the reg season.

I'm more focused on us continuing this newfound offense. Keep this up and we are top-notch...#1 seed and very dangerous. Long ways to go though. Health and luck will play roles too.

We currently have the 2nd best offense of the last 5 years according to KP (85.3). Only 2022 Texas Tech finished slightly better (85.0). Lost in the SS to Duke. 42nd in offense.

Of the last decade, we're 4th (best under Barnes). The 2 others ahead of us so far:

2020 UVA (85.1) - No tourney, COVID...with 234th offense

2019 Texas Tech (84.1) - lost in national title game to UVA - 25th in offense.


We're currently 33rd in offense and rising.

 

[Devo182]

Out of the top SEC teams, we've also had the least luck so far, with Bama and Auburn feasting off good variance, which runs out eventually:

Agreed, I should be locked up for such a crime. Somehow I constantly caught it on tv, but midway through and just never got around to sitting my azz down to give it the full viewing. My wife finally reminded me and man, well worth it.

Now I want to go back and rewatch Boyhood, Waking Life, the Sunset/Sunrise trilogy with Ethan Hawke (my intro to Linklater), A Scanner Darkly, and the rest.

Some people dislike how talky his films are, like a Woody Allen script, but when the dialogue is that great, it's a revelation.

Afaik the 18-25 demo is still supposed to be the most valuable.

Never have known exactly why, but I guess they have the free time to not only invest in their interests, but share, retweet, buy products marketed/tied to what they're viewing. They also influence older demos more than vice versa I suppose.

I'd guess a Kelce/TSwift reality show would be insanely popular (assuming she's actually a big part of it...don't think anyone actually finds him interesting, unlike his wild brother)

Seeding wise 0 movement on Auburn for all the reasons you cited. AP is recency bias on steroids so I expect Bama to steal #1 and UT to slide to 5.


My guess AP
Bama, Auburn, Duke, UF, TN

My seeding
Auburn, Alabama, Duke, TN, UF
