        I thought of that. Talent emails me enough already. Usually pics. Although, I will say he the last series of pics he sent was courageous. A white camisole and pumps? And after Labor Day? Daring.

            He's not holding a gun to your head. If you don't want to wear that ensemble I think he should respect your choice.

              Oh, I leave that outfitt for Talent. He carries it off well even with his child-bearing hips. Besides, me wear white after Labor Day?

                Does that rule apply in the south? It's mostly a weather thing. (srsly)

                Clearly it doesn't apply in Columbus though. Talent probably goes to work every day in his Tom Wolfe God suit and his smarter-than-you bowtie. As noted, it's an era of symbols and virtue signalling.

                  Tom Wolfe was a Virginian. He should have known better.

                    Also, re: future slates: One of the things we have done in the real money contest I am in is to have a week where the largest line in each conference is posted. You get some Ohio State -43.5 and Alabama -39.5 (etc) lines. it was kind of fun and most did well with it. The main downside is that -regardless of the week it's on- you miss some important games.

                    Also, we have a home dog week. Every match-up has a (usually close) home dog.

                    Will probably do the latter. Wanted input before I craft the former.

                    (for those who do not gamble much, a 'home dog' is where the visiting team is favored to win. We usually have a few in every slate. In Home Dog Week, ALL visitors are favored to win on that particular slate).

                      Unstuck both contest threads. They'll be active, so they'll be right below the perma-stuck threads.

                            All you jabronis are certainly on the MissState train. One just does not stroll into Manhattan and take Snyder's lunch money without the Powercats fighting back.

                              Yeah you are probably right but I would love to see Miss State depance Snyder.

                                Nothing good comes from Miss State winning in anything. It upsets the natural order of things.
