When conflicted: root for the underdog. That's TCU for the national championship.

Maybe ... I know the building the Wolverines will be visiting. I helped design it.

The oddsmakers don't play the games.

Basketball, not gridiron football ... In 1982 NAIA Chaminade defeated top-ranked Virginia 77-72.

We shall see ... Purdue is sorta the home team. West Lafayette, IN is about 200 miles closer to downtown Indianapolis than Ann Arbor, MI and IUPUI is basically right next door.

I'll be rooting for Purdue because my eldest daughter has been admitted to IUPUI and some of her cousins are Purdue allumni.

The mid-season rankings are just opinions when you get to or close to #1 until the games are over and the clocks read 00:00.0

That's one way to move the goalposts that's not easy or cheap to reset ...

I will have microwave popcorn on standby for when you share the video.

Weird thing about sports: the people who care the most about the outcome - and bitch loudly about an outcome that's not to their liking - often aren't associated with the team in any fucking way.

A good coach in a good situation doesn't have to worry about their W-L record. Most DI coaches aren't in a good situation. They're more like Bud Fox in Wall Street: get results yesterday ... or else. "Signum Fidei Religio Mores Cultura" - "Signs of Faith, Religion, Morals, and Culture." That's...

Every single one which has been shared is hilarious. Meanwhile my DIII WashU Bears are 4-0 and have completely crushed the competition despite being even pickier* than an Ivy league school in terms of who they admit. * Most people who are aiming for the Ivy League don't know that wustl exists.

Maybe, but we're heading into something which might get sent to The Bintananth Bin or tossed to your women's gymnastics thread by a moderator: most teenage girls and adult women aren't small and flexible enough to do a women's gymnastics routine. My sisters, daughters, and teenage neices...

I'm not sure. Wustl is DIII, doesn't offer athletic scholarships, and the campus is pretty small, so probably not.

Washington University in St. Louis (i.e.: wustl). Don't mess with the Bears because they can say something the Crimson Tide can't: "We hosted an Olympics". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Olympic_Field

An Alabama grad or fan would probably fail the one-page entrance exam Washington University in St. Louis had for night/summer classes when I was in college. That's Ivy-League level expensive and where I went. The exam was basically asking you if you were literate enough to write your name and...

The Crimson Tide were chosen for the movie Forrest Gump to be the team and college he was part of for a reason: smart kids don't go to Alabama universities. @49ersfootball ... bring it.

When placing bets on a game where one team clearly outmatches the other the bookies are trying to guess the score differential so that both sides of the betting are about even. That means they get to keep the spread instead of being on the hook like Mussolini* because they guessed wrong and...

Never underestimate the underdog. In 1982 the top raked NCAA DI Virginia Cavaliers lost to the NAIA Chaminade Silversides 77-72 in a mens basketball game. Chaminade's ~$24mn endowment is nowhere near Virginia's $97-98mn annual athletic budget.

Possibly but we won't know until time expires.
