You could actually have a…

You could actually have a final four that's made up of a single conference - either the B1G or the SEC.

Is that a good thing?  I understand different perspectives, but I think this is exactly what the committee would want to avoid.  First round rematches aren't ideal, but I actually think it would be worse (at least from an eyeballs/$$ perspective) if the final 4 was all one conference.

Agree.  Fuck the Chargers…

Agree.  Fuck the Chargers forever for taking our coach.

If Bry Mac has Imposter…

If Bry Mac has Imposter Syndrome, then what the hell do you call what us mere mortals have?!  Good Lord man, you're the real deal, and one of the key pillars keeping this site afloat!  I know it's not always easy, or even enjoyable, but I truly hope (nay, beg) this isn't the last we read from you.

Yeah, good call, that was a bad look to start the game.  So empty it looked like it was under construction or something.

Why is the section behind Michigan's bench empty?

You're twisting the question…

You're twisting the question.  If the question is which team deserves it, then sure, FSU.  That's not the question I asked, and sure, maybe Harbaugh would say he wants to play the most deserving team, which sounds like a hollow PR answer.  Maybe that's even true for him.  But I was going for "which team would Michigan (or, more specifically, I as a fan) rather play in terms of a path to the Championship?"  I don't care about playing the most deserving teams or the best teams.  I want to get past the fucking semifinal for once.  And FSU presents an easier path, IMO.  Ergo, Alabama is the better team right now, again IMO.  

The most compelling argument…

The most compelling argument for Alabama over FSU is that I'd much rather Michigan play FSU.  I think I heard someone say that right after the game, something like "go ask Coach Harbaugh who he'd rather face?"  So it comes down to the endless argument of should it be the "best" teams right now, or the "most deserving."  If it's best, and most people agree they'd rather play FSU, then it has to be Alabama.  

I just wish he had named…

I just wish he had named Petitti specifically.  We need to be calling him out more clearly, as these are the actions of one misguided clown, who needs to be made a fool in the court of public opinion.  

I hope we see some sort of…

I hope we see some sort of quiet (or not so quiet) protest, like removing or covering up the B1G patches on their jerseys.  

My thoughts exactly!  I only…

My thoughts exactly!  I only watch the Sox because of Benetti, even bought a Jason Benetti Fan Club t-shirt a few years ago.  Super jealous of my Detroit family now...  

Thank you, Brian, for…

Thank you, Brian, for assuaging my admittedly irrational stress meltdown, at least for a little while.  You're doing the lord's work, as you know.

Oh boy, those are some…

Oh boy, those are some pretty damning allegations.  If true, what the actual fuck?  Do we just not have a compliance department?

I gotta say, this has totally sapped my interest and excitement for this season.

I have to assume this is a…

I have to assume this is a function of how many networks the Big Ten is on now, right?  CBS, NBC, Fox, BTN, FS1, Peacock.  All of them will want Michigan in Prime Time, so we should probably get used to it, unfortunately.  

How is the Marcus Hall …

How is the Marcus Hall 'award' not the long TD to kill our shutout??  It's not even mentioned?

We can probably take the "or…

We can probably take the "or COVID" off the charts, no?  That feels very 2021.

My DirecTV guide is showing the first episode on Monday Sept 4 at 1:00pm ET on Bally Sports Detroit.  Many re-airings after that.

I don't understand this…

I don't understand this question.  Peacock is a streaming service with its own app; I wouldn't think of it as a "channel" you can add to another streaming service.  Does YTTV have a "Netflix" channel?

Yes, avoid YouTube at all…

Yes, avoid YouTube at all costs.  Even YT Kids.  It's all algorithmically driven to take them down rabbit holes and feed their nascent addictions, whether to weird videos of adults playing with toys while using baby voices, or spoiled little Russian girls terrorizing their parents, or teenagers playing video games and begging for likes and subscribes.  If I could go back in time a few years, I would have never put YT on the iPad...

Unfortunately, it's too late now, and my 7-year old is probably going to turn into a needy, emotionally stunted man, with a fetish for vaguely Eastern European women, who's remarkably good at Minecraft.  Worse things, I guess. 

I agree with the sentiment. …

I agree with the sentiment.  However, I have a feeling the way this shakes out actually ends up looking like the Big Ten of old.  It'll be split into two divisions, with a West that includes the former Pac-12 schools and maybe Nebraska/Iowa, and an East that looks a whole lot like the Big Ten we all knew and loved (plus, unfortunately, Rutgers and Maryland).  Or maybe three divisions.  Either way, I have to believe some regionality will remain in the "finished" product.  

Yeah, I have no doubt that…

Yeah, I have no doubt that YTTV will cost $200/month in a few years.

My DTV bill is $260, so I'm…

My DTV bill is $260, so I'm basically paying $200 extra for the luxury of recording all these non-rev sports, among other minor benefits.  

Assume he meant several…

Assume he meant several hundred percent, which would be several-fold.

I think the point was more…

I think the point was more about how homogenous the population is, rather than the fact that it's specifically white, per se.  America is massive and the most diverse place on Earth, while Sweden (for instance) is basically just a couple Minnesotas.  Hard to compare the two.

Honest question, because it…

Honest question, because it sounds like you could not be more different from me.  What do you do every night?  You really don't turn a TV on during the week?  For news?  I'd love to read more, in theory, but by the end of the day I need to numb myself...

Worst finish since 2014-15.

Yeah, I was just gonna say, this thing's far from over.  

Conference results are…

Conference results are irrelevant in this case.  We usually make the national tournament, and often win at least one round when we do, so we get points.  In the last 10 tournaments (prior to this season), we only missed twice.  Over that span, Women's VB on average contributed 40 points per year towards our final score, including a 3rd place finish in 2012-13.  Not necessarily lighting the world on fire, but consistently contributing nonetheless.

You're correct!  Adding The Call of Cthulhu to my Amazon wishlist, because I need more nightmares.

I think that's exactly the point.  Maybe we should hire officers who will actually do something.

I'll put this here as high as I can to save people from scrolling.  He committed to USC.

This is the correct answer.

I think you mean the opposite.

Note that record is not…

Note that record is not mentioned, like at all.  This is so they can rank 2-loss SEC teams higher than 1-loss or undefeated teams from other conferences.  Hell, why not put a 6-loss SEC team in?  

/s but still strange that something like "overall record or performance" is not the first thing listed.  I suppose it's implied in the "conference championship" piece, but still.

Yes, and I'm pretty sure we had a first-place vote last week, as well.

"Yes of course, this has been the case forever. That’s why I am confused as to why the OP posted this to shame ucla as if this is news. "

All time records are, by definition, news.  Perhaps you should understand the point of the post before, ahem, shaming it.
