@markrsports@mattravis according to census bureau and OMB metro area has radius of 25 miles from downtown including Canadian, Cleveland, Grady, Lincoln, Logan, McClain, and OK counties. Shawnee is considered a micro urban area and is included in OKC’s combined statistical are
@mattravis Jim says Cincy has no chance. What is order at end of year between 13-0 cincy, 13-0 wake forest, Ohio St. 10-2 but wins big 10 (implication is MSU and Michigan both have 2 losses); OU 12-1 wins big 12
@mattravis Got a robin’s nest in backyard. Fascinating. Parents take turns sitting on babies and feeding. Last year we had 4 or 5 babies. Once babies left they didn’t come back to nest. This year different robins came back and built up the nest bigger, and we’ve got 3 babied.
@mattravis if you had asked me before yesterday what company baker does commercials for I probably would not have remembered it was progressive off the top of my head. Now I do. That’s what progressive cares about. Not what baker has said or how he has played.
@Bluto51@DustyDvoracek@markrsports@GeorgeSchroeder How do they determine year to year? Someone should reach out to Nicholas Cage and Hollywood for the next National Treasure movie: National Treasure: Book of Secrets Pg. 47 College Football Playoff Committee
@DustyDvoracek@markrsports@Bluto51@GeorgeSchroeder what if this was some sort of parallel universe where UVA was magically 12-0 and Clemson was 10-2. Would UVA be automatically in win or lose and everything else being equal?
@Bluto51@DustyDvoracek@markrsports@GeorgeSchroeder And what is the make up of the committee every year. Do they have the same people and just rotate chairmans? Or do they have terms? And if so do they leave letters to the incoming committee members like outgoing presidents? “Hey, welcome to the committee. Here’s how you decide..”
@Bluto51@DustyDvoracek@markrsports@GeorgeSchroeder Yea I agree. I just can’t help but wonder if say it wasn’t OU but Iowa State or Texas Tech (this is an alternate universe after all) in the position today and Wisconsin knocks off Ohio State or UVA knocks off Clemson, would ISU or TTU get same treatment as OU?
@Bluto51@DustyDvoracek@markrsports@GeorgeSchroeder Basically I’m wondering if blue blood bias is the reason for favoring a one loss non conference champ over a one loss non blue blood conference champ. If that makes sense lol.
@Bluto51@DustyDvoracek@markrsports@GeorgeSchroeder So are you firmly planting your flag on the hill of “under no circumstances does a 2 loss team get in over a 1 loss team” No matter what the resume? Even if the 2 loss team had a conference championship?
@12thingsthebook@okcthunder Chris Paul channels his inner Walter Sobchak pointing out the untucked jersey: “Am I the only one who gives a s@!$ about the rules!?”
@DustyDvoracek@markrsports@Bluto51 Why assume LSU gets in with loss to UGA? OU wins= 1 loss, 3 top 25 wins, conference champ, LSU =1 loss, 3 top 25 wins, no conf. champ. Utah not making argument for eye test “test” tonight.
@Bluto51@SportsMorning@sportsanimal In the same way they moved Baylor way up as a “market correction” a couple of weeks ago, they moved Bama way down after they had been hanging by a thread to a top 5 spot and finally the thread broke.
I changed out of my OU sweatpants at halftime and I switched from beer to Jefferson’s bourbon. Guess I’ll have to wear shorts and stick to bourbon on game days moving forward #sportssuperstitions#WWLSGameday@sportsanimal
@BowToVader@sportsanimal So, what I’m just supposed to wear weather appropriate clothing and drink time and day appropriate beverages with complete disregard to the laws of sports? That’s how societies break down sir. #nothankyou#WWLSGameday
