Hat trick! Nice!

I was so getting ready to make jokes about England not deserving a place in the 6N at halftime. Ah well.

I'm realizing I am much more confident in what a reasonable score prediction for a gridiron game looks like than I am for a rugby game. This should be fun

Hello, Is me. Other person being poked.

I'd be down.

the stupidity of college football is a non-negligible part of it's charm

100% and I feel like the bowl system was a much better reflection of this than any playoff will ever be. The ridiculousness of 2+ schools claiming the same titles on a regular basis, and everyone else mostly agreeing both claims are valid but still bickering over which is more valid, was a big part of the sport's charm.

Vodka may be one of the worst things for a potato to become. Fries? Mashed with gravy? Poutine? Chips/crisps? Come on.

It's just weird to me that they fire him now and not... Any time last year.

Are we just going to get a "new" article on this every week now?

Didn't click, but just the headline is not wrong. As someone from a T2 nation, the matchup we are getting AGAIN is just about the least interesting one we could have realistically gotten for those of us not from SA or NZ

No, ghostwriting is not plagiarism. Done correctly, there is nothing wrong with it. Hard to argue this professor did it correctly

That's my assumption as well. New and renovated stadiums/arenas/etc. Are almost always funded by local taxes, despite the teams/promoters/etc. Who reap all the benefits being rich enough to build their own facilities. They hold communities for ransom and promise trickle-down economic benefits that never materialize.

Lincoln specifically botched this with the new arena a few years back. They raised the property value around it so much that businesses couldn't afford the rent. At least while I was there, the area was usually half-empty buildings. And the extra sales tax to pay for it hadn't gone away several years after it supposedly would.
