Where would that be that I don’t have to purchase and pay taxes on to hold?
Sure, that's one unavoidable cost for living in the US, although there are some places with extremely cheap property taxes. I have an aunt that pays $500 a year for 130 acres in LA.
There are some Caribbean countries that don't have any property taxes. And some other random countries around the world.
I'd rather pay a couple grand a year in property taxes than live in any of those places though.

The reality is you don't HAVE to do any of that, you choose to.
Nothing is stopping you from living off the grid or moving to a less developed country where none of that matters.
Your life is so comfortable that you wouldn't risk it to actually shun those things you've outlined .

Celebrate a new hire. Tell everyone how many national championships he is going to win. Tell everyone they are screwed. Fire him in 4-5 years. Celebrate him being gone. Tell everyone what a horrible coach he was.
4 new hires in the last quarter century (not counting Kiffin)
3 won national championships
Other than that, yeah you're correct
For kids it's a must.

This will just further push it into the inevitable NFL lite that it's heading towards.
The only way to "fix" it to try their damndest to get it back to where it was 20 or so years ago.
I used to be the biggest playoff proponent but I readily admit I was wrong. CFB was unique because it DIDN'T do what every other sport does.
It may have been quirky, unfair, and at times seem like it didn't make sense at all, but it was entertaining as hell.

Some dude explaining it in his apartment bedroom on a 16 in TV is the best video out there on this subject? :lol:
As others have said, Hooters is a restaurant not a "sports bar". You should expect kids around.
Even bar and grill type places they'll have kids around.
If you're really trying to avoid kids, go to a true bar.

39 and have a 1 year old. Live in MN and it's been dumping snow which had added to the Christmas feel.
Wife and I are headed back home to LA on Christmas eve and can't wait to see the rest of our family.

You 100% go for it.
Life rarely if ever gives opportunities like that, to truly cement your place as the best of all time. Should never pass it up.

I agree with you. Unless you know the people well and/or have a good reason to be off camera, on-screen should be the default.

shite is unwatchable nowadays and the problem is nobody is gonna turn it off to make them think it needs to change.
I'll keep a game on because I don't want to change the channel but I rarely continuously watch a game because it's impossible.

really don’t get the hate for them not being in a conference. Their independence was to their detriment this year. It cuts both ways.
What I don’t support is the guaranteed spot that others don’t get.
Uh, do you not see that the sole reason they get a guaranteed spot is because they're independent?
I have no problem with them being independent, but they need to deal with the consequences of such. This kicking and screaming tour they've been going on is exactly why people are starting to be done with it.
That is a top tier, high quality, next level post.
I always love when people think they're qualified to opine on how a man should make life decisions.

Cool, it's not your life. Just because you're a talking head on National TV doesn't mean your opinion matters on what others choose to do with their life.
It's silly really.

Exactly, do we really need to see multiple rematches of SEC and Big10 schools?
I'd rather watch someone like SMU get a shot than another SEC rematch.
Even if it's a blowout.

You don’t think the current process has a lot of subjectivity?
I think it certainly does, the committee is a joke. But the goal isn't to pick "the best" teams.

Vegas sports books are the best at predicting the quality of teams and outcomes.
Vegas isn't in the business of picking winners, but that's a whole different discussion. You can't simply rank teams based on what Vegas thinks. If that was the case you'd have 3-4 loss Alabama making the playoffs every year because they'd always be favored over an SMU or Tulane. That's dumb and boring, and again, goes against why sports exist.
There are endless examples of teams who weren't "the best" winning on the field.
