I have no personal qualm against sports betting or any other gambling, but, yes, the ads are completely inescapable. It isn't even just during sports. You can't even listen to the traffic and weather news radio station without hearing about some way to gamble.

In all seriousness, the final phase began when the Pac 12 was destroyed. Once that happened, it was inevitable that we were moving to the P2. I actually expected it to happen in the next two or three years when FSU was snubbed and Georgia hemorrhaged players. The ACC was terminally ill and the P2 was going to want to be able to lock players to contracts.

Adun posted:The media money will lead, not follow. The next move will be media partners asking why they’re paying the same amount for Vandy and Alabama football games. They’ll continue to push for consolidation and creating a closed competition at the top because they’ll get a lot more bang for their buck I think they'll be able to make the argument that the top teams need punching bags to pad out the schedules, especially if the schism slams the door on Akron, Florida International, and Mercer as options. It isn't like media partners keep asking why the Pittsburgh Pirates are there taking up space.

The Vandy's may survive, but that's a lot of punching bags to keep afloat. No, those teams are already dead. The Titanic has already hit the iceberg and Vandy and Northwestern aren't just in a lifeboat. They're in one that has been lowered into water. If you're in the ACC or Big 12, you're about to start fist fighting on the deck because you counted how many seats are left. The rest are trapped behind the immigration control doors that keeps third class below decks and the lights just went out.

Even the power 2 only exist as long as the biggest programs and media partners are happy to subsidize the bottom tier teams But every league has bottom feeders. Besides, once they're decoupled from "Northwestern players have to, you know, go to Northwestern" they just become "the college team in Chicago." Northwestern may not stay Northwestern.

Sometimes I remember how Penn State used to have lots of typically not good Italian guys because obviously that happened Like: Drew Astorino Gino Capone Paul Cianciolo Chris Colasanti Mike Gasparato Angelo Mangiro Chris Mauriello Anthony Morelli Tony Scirrotto Matt Zanellato But because it was Pennsylvania, you had to have a lot of guys with names with lots of extra letters and Zs too Lee Kuzemchak Mike Pawlikowski Andrew Szczerba Stefen Wisniewski Zack Zeglinski J.R. Zwierzynski I did not include Paul Posluszny because he was too obvious to include and is the ultimate in "Pittsburgh area guy with incredibly Polish name."

I took the rational choice to only fix the names and colors of things as I play them. My only real issues are that there's no good teams in a given season and the rankings are seemingly nonsense. I just finished a season last night where the national title game was between my undefeated team and 7-5 #3 UMass. They'd knocked off 8-4 #2 Minnesota. I've never seen an undefeated team and 1 loss teams are rare.

drat Dirty Ape posted:This coal thing kind of reminds me of Pittsburgh and all the “Steel City” stuff. Pittsburgh still produces a lot of steel at multiple mills and has one of the last six fully integrated mills in the US. Even with reduced production, there's still a lot of steel flying around doing other things. There's at least three plants that I can think of that process slabs produced in Ohio into sheet products, a few treatment lines, and two companies that make shapes. And that's just from plants that I drive past when I'm back home.

It seems like an EAF that's being fed pellets, but the diagram only would produce iron? And how are you extracting impurities without a high carbonate material for them to bind to?

My 360 finally died a couple of months ago and I decided to retire from video games. Then yesterday my wife gave me a modded 360 that can run College Football Revamped (which I'd never heard of?). So I'm just going to continue being a weird old man stuck in the past, like those guys who play competitive electric football in hotel conference rooms.

In the old days, NCAA Football was last year's Madden. Everything I've ever read was that the NCAA team was much smaller and that this arrangement meant that the team had the advantage of the system being more refined than it had been at Madden release. They could then direct resources at further refinements rather than the heavier modifications Madden was making year by year to keep that generation Madden running.

I haven't played Madden in at least six years. It was Christmas and my then 11 year old nephew was like "Uncle Sash will you play Madden with me." I was up 14-0 after two plays before I remembered that I'm obligated by adult law to hold back. Now I just do that "maybe later" thing instead of "yes I'm up 35-0 in the first quarter, you're old enough to drive so deal with it."

Adun posted:That’s New York’s schtick That's because most of them either overlay roads that had those names or entered service before the interstate system existed. The Van Wyck Expressway replaced the Van Wyck Boulevard. It opened in 1950 and wasn't assigned Interstate 678 until 1965. The Long Island Expressway wasn't Interstate 495 until 1984 and is technically only one segment that was built in the mid 1950s. The BQE was built in the 1930s. And so on. It isn't really unique to the New York area. It is common for pre-Interstate highways to retain their old names in the Northeast and Mid Atlantic. Like the Pennsylvania Turnpike instead of I-76.

harperdc posted:.Sash went to Penn State, that feels like it’s pretty far away from “Mexican food gourmet” Putting aside the fast food places, I can only think of one Mexican place in State College when I was there and it definitely wasn't actual Mexican food either. There were a decent number of "Honduran Tex Mex" restaurants around Pittsburgh. I know it wasn't good, per se, but even after adjusting for variants and quality, a better quality version of it still wouldn't really do it for me. If I want spicy food, I make a beeline to Indian. Maybe Thai, but not very often.
