Might I have the influenza? Its been so long... what are you supposed to do about this predicament?
In all, there were 46 potential witnesses to the shooting, including Trena McElroy, who was in the truck with her husband when he was shot. No one called for an ambulance.[9] Only Trena claimed to identify a gunman; every other witness either was unable to name an assailant or claimed not to have seen who fired the fatal shots.[10] The DA declined to press charges. An extensive Federal investigation did not lead to any charges.
I'm kind of tempted to ignore the whole thing, but I guess I'll hope OSU and FSU gets crap-pounded. I don't really have much sympathy for Baylor, which should have scheduled someone in the non-con. TCU, on the other had, got screwed. But Gary Pat is kind of a dick.
I mean, I get the strength-of-schedule argument. I think it's important, in terms of driving more competitive early-season matchups in future years. I think it's fair to say that Baylor copped out (and it appears they may continue to cop out). But I also think you can make the case that TCU was essentially trying to cop out, too. When the Horned Frogs agreed to a home-and-home series with Minnesota, it was May of 2013. The Gophers were coming off a 6-7 season in which they won two Big Ten games, and defeated a weak Western Michigan team 28-23; by comparison, Buffalo was 4-8 in 2012 and defeated Western Michigan 29-24. This was not an attempt by TCU to truly boost its non-conference schedule – this was an attempt to secure a relatively easy victory over a major-conference opponent, which I suppose trumps Baylor's thrashing of a MAC team, but not by enough to trump a head-to-head result.

A non-blue blood big 10 team would have gotten less respect than Baylor or TCU did imo. Purdue wouldn't have gotten the bump up and then bump out. Everybody would have just agreed they were out unless a bunch of teams above them lost.
I agree with that. I think that will always be a weakness of this system. It similarly (but less dramatically) impacts basketball tournament selection.
This was bound to happen when they chose a plus one rather than 6 or 8 teams.
my card had a pitbull on it
That golf course is a confirmed shithole too.
And they tore down the most awesome rocket ship playground equipment to put up a stupid golf course.

*We stood at the rope line after the game as the players and coaches went from the field to the locker room. People were clapping and high giving the players. But honest to God, Charlie could barely walk to the locker room. He was limping along very slowly and in obvious pain from standing for 4 hours during the game.
*I don't think there is any way Charlie is back next year. I'm not a doctor but he is in obvious pain. I predict he resigns after the season due to health concerns. I'm not saying I want this to happen or hope for this to happen but I think this is it for him. He clearly doesn't feel well and he acts like his heart isn't in it this year.
Yeah, Charlie looked terrible. He could barely walk onto the field after halftime and really needs to be in a wheelchair or on a scooter. I felt that the minimal interactions with the team were partially because it hurt so much to move around
I looked back at the discussion and here is how I'd divide the races. SEK stands alone, clearly, and the rest are separated by population. I felt it was important to separate suburbs from stand-alone towns, and I added Haysville because I felt south Wichita suburbs were underrepresented. The order within each division is my personal rankings; where my experience was limited I went with the most persuasive board opinion.
SEK Division

Galena 3,085

Baxter Springs 4,238
