The guy wore his work shirt to do a hard labor job. One does not wear his best clothing to do hard labor. You wear the most run down clothes you own. Gundy should have shaken his hand. The contractor is basically saying this Oklahoma shirt is so shitty the only time I'll wear it is when I know it will get filthy. I wouldn't wear an LSU shirt to do hard labor because I know I wouldn't be able to wear it anywhere else. Maybe he was an okie state fan and likes to wear an Oklahoma shirt when he knows "shite" will get on it

The only extra button is the right analog click to make the menu pop up dude.. And I like not having that clutter on the screen. Click stick, up on d-pad, and then one more button to finish the sequence.. a total of 3 buttons. I don't get how that's so bad


So what's easier to you?

R3, up, directional, R3 (since you need to hide the menu)...oh damn forgot to shift the linemen...R3, left, directional, R3.

Or

Triangle, directional; R1, directional; L1, directional.

If I can just use up, directional to move coverage then I'm not worried. If R3 is merely a guide to the sequence and I never need it opened then I'm good and it's not a problem. However, if I have to use R3 before I can tinker with the defense. It becomes a problem because you have to open it if you want to change something.

Example: R3, up directional, left directional to show blitz. Now in order to un-show the blitz you have to keep the menu up or if you closed it have to re-hit R3. It starts out as one extra button but it won't always be just one extra button.
My only two complaints from playing one game are that the new kicking meter will suck during online games. Lag will make it difficult to kick. Second, I'm not playing mortal kombat. I do not want to press a series of ten buttons to shift my linebackers or to show blitz. Keep all pre-snap adjustments simple.

my main point is cbb shoots a lower % than the NBA.

34% isn't some really high number. It's actually not a bad number at all, plenty realistic and not overdone IMO.

So I guess I don't see the need to extend it.



the amount of division I college teams >>>> amount of NBA teams

so 34% is rather high

the dragon is laser beak

the flying thing is Ultimate Prime since octimus' trailer will be a used in this movie or prime with him attached to silverbolt

i don't know what the hell the flying ships are going to be in this movie.

personally i hope this one is as good as the first which was actually decent. Unfortunately i see it being exactly like the second one with way too much going on and absolutely no direction.

The score system has worked out very well and has led to very competitive seasons, with this being the best. There really isn't anything outrageous with the system, it's distributed evenly and has kept things fair.

Ridiculous is scoring systems that give bonuses for return yards or passing yards

because the NFL would never let that happen. Jacksonville is too small of a market, no good story so no big ratings. If they keep drawing small crowds, then the team can move to LA.

On the other hand, they have trouble selling tickets, maybe if they make the SB they will start selling out and the league will make more money.

No matter what happens you can be sure of this, it was planned, no way would they leave what ever they want to happen to chance, that's for sure.


were you not arguing in this thread about how stupid the idea of fixed games were?

but the "nfl would never let that happen" and "it was planned" thats not at all anything close to "fixed" right?

here's just a tidbit of what you stated later on in that thread:

hat has been discovered? Seriously? That an NBA ref bet on some games and called fouls to help wins his bets? That players at BC, Tulane and Arizona St shaved points? That the White Sox threw the 1919 World Series? I'm not disputing that those things happen and will likely happen again. But once again we see you have the same problem of confirmation bias and absoutist thinking. Those events are isolated events, not proof that all sports are staged events like wrestling. Provide a link that shows any of these sports are staged like wrestling. Coincidences do not constitute proof. Just because people like you are so deeply cynical that you assume the worst doesn't prove anything either. Just because someone involved be it a ref, coach or player "fixed" a game or shaved points doesn't mean the whole league is involved. That is what I am saying doesn't happen. The league does not fix games to get certain matchups in the Super Bowl or Finals, they don't fix the draft so a certain player can go to a certain team. If that happened, we'd know. There'd would books, credible news stories all over the place. But there is not. You think I'm naive, but really my cynism is differnt than yours, I don't think they could pull it off. I don't think anyone is smart enough to pull off the type of decptions you do."

What no points for interceptions or fumble recoveries? Your system is flawed.

What's the over/under on the amounth of calculators that say boobs and loose???

knock it back a few yards...now EP's are a waste of time with no excitement



Might as well kick extra points from the the 40. A good 56 yard extra point. No one would go for two Er four

I understand the mathematics in the system but seriously it's not that hard to break down the difference between a td, fg, xp, 2pt conversion.
/sarcasm
Seriously, try explaining why all these extra points are being returned because the kicker doesn't put enough leg into it and why the game takes 36 hours to end because of all the dead ball extra points being returned for td's thus forcing another extra point.
/endsarcasm

An extra point is only worth 1 pt? Surely you can't be serious?

Yes I'm serious and don't ever call me Shirley.

Basically you are just too lazy to break down the scoring system?

6 points per td. A td is scored when the ball carrier extends the ball across the goal line of the opposing team. The scoring team is then allowed an extra point or two point conversion try. Can you guess what each is worth?

I can understand breaking down a fg because you have to explain when and why but a fg is different from an extra point. A fg is awarded 3 points and can be kicked at any time. An extra point is only allowed following a td.
I bet bars and strippers are making money
Would jarrett lee be good at Troy??? Watching this game. Ready go.
This may just be the liquer or the overly spiced bloody Mary I have no idea why I drank but if I'm not mistaken there are a lot of fans of Christmas here in the dome.
Ohio's cheerleaders look dtf honestly but I'm too far and drunk to know any different.
Agreed. Ohio's band much better then the football team and I'm pissed that the mascot hasn't Fought the troy mascot yet.

Also more people here for the state title game then this one. Some hot women here though.

Team 4 plays the bye team
Team 5 vs team 10
Team 7 vs team 9

Teams 3,4,6 have easy wins

So one game separates the entire playoffs

It was south lafourche high school. I would imagine it was because south lafourche played belle chasse after the game in the arena.

re: LSU's QBs looked mediocre.

Lee had two potential touchdowns dropped. One should have been caught and the other was caught but called incomplete. This, along with the other drops, would have changed the qb stats drastically.
