re: Which Team Was More Dignified After tSnub

Posted by Snazzmeister on 12/9/25 at 12:34 pm to PeleofAnalytics
That would be fabulous. Unfortunately, CFB is big business now and teams have more to lose than gain in playing some random bowl game.

Is it a coincidence that KJ Bolden flipped from FSU to UGA after that game? That FSU finished without a single 5 star in that recruiting class? That they lost 18 players to the December 2023 transfer portal while adding only 5?

It’s a shame but it’s reality. We’ll see if ND’s opt-out has the same sort of consequences, but I doubt it.

You’ll never convince me that FSU was better off playing their bowl versus opting out. The beat down they took made the committee look like geniuses even if they were missing half their team and the damage it did to the brand will follow Novell forever.

Going forward, any team that gets snubbed for the CFP and has a large number of players sitting out should hang it up and move on to the next season.

I’d argue opting out and pulling a UCF, hanging the banners and all, would have done less harm to FSU than the beat down UGA put on them.

The issue is, it never should have hurt them enough to have two teams in that are a combined nearly 40 point under-dogs.

Not playing in a bowl game is only going to hurt them also


Is it though? In the transfer portal era, how much of their roster is even going to be there next year? How many opt-outs were they going to have? Realistically, playing a meaningless bowl might do more harm for the program than good. FSU, for example, would have been better off opting out in 23 with the damage that game did to their recruiting.

Never said it was. Only that if preaching hell or the rapture to children rises to the level of a state’s interest in the child’s well-being that there are thousands of guilty churches out there.

The fact that the pastor not only discussed the case in front of the child, but the entire congregation (especially with all the peer pressure claimed that is used by the church) is a YUGE no no in a custody case. Parents and their agents are not supposed to discuss the custody case with/around the child. This fricking dickhead did it in front of an entire church.


Does the court consider your pastor an “agent”?

I get that the court doesn’t want anything to unfairly prejudice the father’s relationship, but it seems unavoidable given the circumstances.

quote:
In a custody case, when there is a variable causing a parent to act improperly and leading to pathological behavior in order to protect that impropriety, it's very likely a court will give power to the other parent who isn't acting improperly to restrict that pathology.


I didn’t get the sense that the ruling came from any “pathological behavior”, so much as the court disagreeing with the mother’s parenting decisions (the medical decisions being most obvious) and the “harm” the church was causing the girl.

If the basis for the court’s ruling is to prevent harm to the child. That harm being the anxiety caused by the child’s fear of salvation. In its ruling, the court effectively did the most harm to the child by guaranteeing she can no longer attend the church.

The mom lied about taking the child to an anti-abortion protest


Lied by omission, I suppose. There’s a pretty common theme in the order, from BLM t-shirts to public school vs homeschooling; the father and mother obviously hold different belief systems and the court appears to prefer the father’s more woke ideology.

quote:
And did you read the part about the sermon? Where the "preacher" discussed the custody battle in front of the entire congregation and implied the father was evil?


Yes. I don’t find it abnormal that a pastor would categorize someone who wants to stop a child from attending church as evil. I suppose that requires a Biblical world view, but the entire premise of Abrahamic religions is a battle between good and evil. Like I said, if those beliefs rise to a compelling state’s interest in the child’s well-being, they better start writing some injunctions cause they’re going to be at it a while.

quote:
Just reading that sermon, I knew what the church and pastor looked like. And I was pretty close


Okay?

I’m not an attorney, but reading the order it sounds to me that the court decided to hand the religious decision-making to the secular father who has shown no interest in his daughter’s spiritual well-being until after his ex took her to an anti-abortion protest.

If a kid’s “anxiety” over hell and the rapture rises to the level of a state having an interest in the child’s well-being then there’s several thousand southern Baptist churches we should be pointing them towards.

Even worse, he claimed that the classification of the air space prevented him from flying drones. When Shawn pointed out that there were drones at the event, he countered by saying those were the film team’s smaller drones that aren’t affected by the same restrictions due to their size.

So, the security detail didn’t have a drone up because theirs was too big? How much was CK paying these guys to not be able to afford a $2,000 DJI?

It’s almost like there are consequences when you continually screw your constituents by hiking rates every year. Makes it tough to campaign when the worst thing that change can bring is essentially the status quo.

A quick browse of the responses and seems like people were tired of paying sky high prices for utilities.

Folks want to make it more than what it is. The incumbent Republicans had approved rate increases every year for the last three years (at least). What were they supposed to run on? Better vote for us or the Democrat will raise your energy prices? People are fed up.

On the other hand, I hope the GOP gets the message that they need to focus on the economy and bringing costs down for families if they have any interest in maintaining the majority in the midterms (I don't think they do.).

I really don’t understand touting these seats as “bellwether” elections for the midterms. It’s such a hyper-specific office / issue. Plenty of conservatives, myself included, were fed up with the constant rate hikes and pulled the lever for democrats.
