Doin my best dogwood maple:

  • FSU is the 3rd program in the (public) history of odds making to lose their first 2 games as a double digit favorite. They lost both games by double digits
  • In both of their opening games FSU was playing the only nationally broadcast game in their time slot.
  • So far in 2024 FSU is the losingest P4 program in 2 different countries
  • 2024 FSU is the fourth AP Top 10 team to start 0-2 in the last 10 seasons. (including 2017 FSU)
  • In the 2024 season AP top 25 programs have started 18-2 against unranked opponents
  • FSU is 0-2 at the end of week 1

Also remember to submit your poll to work on eligibility for the sweet $100 grand prize for our bracket prediction contest!

Just so long as we're not hunters in a dark forest...

Would these greys not have experimented with nuclear explosives and/or had nuclear incidents in their past? Surely they would look at us the same way we would look at the English and French hurling huge rocks at each other in the middle ages were we to time travel. There are plenty of reasons for intelligent life to skip past earth but I doubt a history of nuclear science is one of them.

Right, but if you read that link, you'll see that that quote isn't direct but instead a historians recollection of "words to that effect" from Ike. The following quote CAN be directly attributed to him:

I made the visit deliberately, in order to be in position to give first-hand evidence of these things if ever, in the future, there develops a tendency to charge these allegations merely to “propaganda.”

 

Admittedly, the middle portion of a Venn Diagram with fedi users and cfb fans is about the size of a mosquito dick. But by golly we have fun with it, and we're going to try and promote some engagement. Last year was more or less our first year, but everyone knows that it's really years kinda 2-4 where a program's identity really gets defined. In an effort to try and make this second year a growth year for us c/cfb is running a CFP bracket prediction contest to help encourage some users to come out of the woodwork and join our small community in earnest. Details about the contest can be found below (copied straight from the details on the submission form, which can also be found below)

Rules:

Bracket predictions are due BEFORE the first official cfp ranking (7:00 pm EST 11/05), so you need to be able to predict some chaos for best results.

To be eligible to win you must submit at least 3 ballots in the weekly polls (can be done after the CFP rankings are unveiled, but still must be done before the conference championships). Users interested in wining the contest should be sure to post proof of ballots in the form of a comment on the weekly poll posts.

Contestants will be awarded 1 point for each team they correctly predict making it into the CFP, and 3 points for every team they correctly seed.

As it stands, I am planning on just the seeding being the competition, correctly predicting the first round may be used as a tie breaker if the need arises.

Awards:

  • 1st - $100 gift card to online retailer of the user's choice
  • 2nd - $50 gift card to online retailer of the user's choice
  • 3rd - $25 gift card to online retailer of the user's choice

Expansionists will say this is a feature not a bug.

Misleading title: the article is actually about a prisoner swap brokered by UAE.

Submit your ballots for our preseason poll HERE. These votes are anonymous and open to anyone, so feel free to contribute. So far the c/cfb poll has been relatively accurate and enough different from the AP/Coaches/cfp that it's worth checking out!

It's the actual curling you've got to get good at, shuffleboard in steroids

Hence the Magnolia cover, thank you!

Can someone make out the song/artist/cover? I think I recognize the second word of the song as "Me"

Don't do this to me

Similar story here, my youngest just graduated college. And apparently my family sat in front of one of his neighbors who I met later at the a house party. And he goes "I'm pretty sure I sat behind you at the ceremony. I sat down and the first thing I heard was 'god bless those Australians, they took one look at a whole onion and said 'I bet you we can fry that and Americans will eat it''"
