This is an appellate decision. It would have to go to a rehearing or the Supreme Court next and there’s a very near 0% chance USSC would take the writ given they recently addressed gun rights.

Man, you’re really taking this personally. I’ve loved the show (including seasons 2 and 3 which people seem to dump on), but the lackluster volume 2 episodes have some red flags of the show ending in a dud. I hope they prove me wrong on NYE because I like the show and, apparently, for the good of your psyche with all that emotional attachment.

That said, I’ll humor you a bit. It appears you’re looking at IMDb ratings in your fit over my tongue-in-cheek joke and don’t fully understand how those ratings take shape over time. Take a look at how many ratings are in for ST5 and GoT8. The number of ratings on GoT8 triples most episodes of ST5. You can rate any episode of either yourself to this very day if you’d like. IMDb ratings, long-term, are subjected to some revisionist history once the story plays out and people go back and rate them. For example, GoT8, ep. 2 had an initial rating of 8.9 and has since lost an entire point down to 7.9 where it sits today once people went back with the full scope. If you make a similar adjustment to ST5, it’s going to be right on par with GoT8 with the one outlying over performed being ep. 4 of ST5.

Again, I hope I’m wrong. You may ultimately be right if they tie this thing up in a satisfying way. Seems like a tall ask to me at this point but who knows. If the final episode is a dud, you’re likely going to see the ratings settle in similarly to GoT8.

Final thought, your post is an oxymoron of itself. You start by saying “no one is saying this” and end with “yall are just repeating things you see on social media at this point.” If no one is saying this season has been weak, then who are we supposedly getting our talking points on social media from? Might wanna check your math. My anecdotal with friends is similar feelings to mine fwiw.

My wife liked it and knows nothing about the games.

Florida State would be royally pissed if they got left for dead in this next round of realignment :lol:

Look, I get the optics of the whole thing but this is just flat out disingenuous. Coaches can get fired mid-season by schools and that’s fine but they can’t leave after the regular season? NBA/NFL players can demand to be traded mid season and that’s fine but this isn’t? CFB players can opt-out of bowl games to preserve their bodies for the NFL and that’s fine but this isn’t? This is done is some form or fashion everywhere.

I’m fine with someone taking issue with what Kiffin is doing—they’re entitled to their opinion. However, he’s throwing stones from a glass house with this “no other league would tolerate this” bullshite. What a whiny tool :lol:

I get it, it’s going to be messy but they can’t act like they’re blameless. They can be mad at him for leaving all they want—that’s fair. But, there was a door for them to keep everything in place for a playoff run, they slammed it in his face, and now want to cry about him taking those assistants when they could control how it happened. That’s on them imo.

I don’t think LSU fans should be jaded on Kiffin either. He very well may do this song and dance to us. I’m not going to be surprised or whining about it because it’s what comes with the territory.

We do have it on paper, but the courts have narrowly interpreted the claim to the point that it’s essentially been litigated out of existence for practical purposes.

Most people fundamentally misunderstand how non-binary result odds are made (and even those). They are set to make sure the payouts are net neutral while the casino keeps its take.

It’s probably a little early for a job like Arkansas, but I think Klein is going to do good things. Same mold/trajectory as Kellen Moore.

Science doesn't think they were fully covered in feathers like a chicken. Think like if a chicken had a feathered mane like a lion. New models are actually a little more badass than the movies imo. Also, they used the name velociraptor because it as a more intimidating name. The raptors from the movies were actually modeled after the species Deinonychus but they didn't like that species name so they used the name of the smaller velociraptor.
