    Bills 2024 Thread - Misery loves company

    So which team's scout is throwing shade at Mitchell? Could it be us? A plot to get Thomas to drop would make more sense.

    Ewwww. The Worst of Syracuse gear.

    Excellent work by the "Rangemen" to combine a couple of the worst logos onto a single item, including multiple fonts for SU. Then add in unnecessary flag stripes and a row of teeth(?) across the top (are those braces or letters on them?) to complete the ensemble. If only they could've made it...

    I'm in a show hole, need suggestions

    I actually kinda like when the dubbed words and captions don't match. I just focus on whichever one is better. DARK is good. It's been so long since I watched it that I'm afraid to give any spoilers. It might even be discussed earlier in this thread.

    FSU vs The ACC

    I would watch a Physical 100 or Squid Games style competition to determine the most delusional fanbase. I'm not creative enough to come up with event ideas for each round though.

    Bills 2024 Thread - Misery loves company

    Playing with the chart: To move into top 15 (ensure Thomas, maybe one of the top three if someone drops) will cost at least 1st and 2nd, maybe more. With no 3rd round pick, the 2nd should be the one for next year that we just got. Cost isn't much different to get from 28th to 20th (ensure...

    New TV Show Featuring NYC HS Football

    Accidently hit the jump to last button and got curious what the oldest post on the board was, here it is. Did this show make it or is it long-cancelled? With our renewed recruiting clout in the area, it could be interesting viewing.

    I assume it was offsetting penalties, replay the down. My example would give the team another chance to punt, maybe negating a big return. It could also deny a team an interception only because the other team commited a penalty (which would actually be the sensible thing to do).

    tldr version: If you didn't do anything wrong before gaining possession, you shouldn't have to give the ball back to the other team.

    2024 NFL Thread

    I'll try: 1. Punting team fouls whenever and receiving team fouls on the return; receiving team keeps the ball. Not sure if this is already the current way or if it would be offsetting penalties and replay down. 2. If receiving team fouls before punt is caught, then the punting team would get...

    Clemson wants out of the ACC too...(shocker)

    Especially if they take partial payout deals for several years to join the new conference. Then the ACC merger schools arrive as full members the next season.

    Slightly OT: compression sleeves and leggings

    I always figured the leggings were to allow players to slide on the floor when knocked down instead of skidding and get skin abrasions. I suppose the arm ones would provide similar protection, but think they are more for show.

    My Reply to Rob Konrad

    Hell, if he wants to retain ownership of the memorabilia, he could donate a small case or a pedestal within a larger display. It could display one of the items (with a plaque recognizing him) and he could periodically rotate the item on display from his collection. Hold a small...

    Measure out 5 feet (or even just 3). Make a safe half effort jump to try to hit those marks. If successful, and honest about the effort level it took to do it, go for max distance. Just be sure to set up a video camera and post your results!

    I'd like to see DM turn his back on his alma mater and make a full heel turn. Juice up this supposed rivalry as much as possible. While SU wins the vast majoritory of the games, of course. Might even be able to pull in some Bills fans/SU casuals who still hold a grudge.

    Like last year, it's another "Road to Wrestlemania" show where the performers won't be taking any chances of getting hurt before the big card. Still entertaining, but temper your expectations if you want to see high flying action.

    Bills 2024 Thread - Misery loves company

    Agree. Maybe a small jump up once there are only a couple speedster WRs with size left. If they can't work anything out, draft BPA at 28. If that was still a WR, then bundle some picks to move up for the top safety in the next round. I don't think they have the ammo to get up to early in...

    Why don't we have a thread for The Challenge?

    Even though I had some doubts about it being rigged (same with The Draw), I liked the balls in the hopper system they used a little while ago. The alliances kinda solved how to work it best, but I forget how. Still need some public votes to stir the pot, but it was nice to see everyone have...

    Why don't we have a thread for The Challenge?

    At each checkpoint in the finale, there should have been a group of former champs. Upon arrival, each contender picks one to go against on a puzzle. Beat the champ and keep going. Lose and suffer a penalty - either time, drink more of the TJ shakes, run a lap, etc.

    Why don't we have a thread for The Challenge?

    Wish I saw this thread during the season. Additional thoughts: Should've crowned both new male and female champions. They need more of each, plus having male vs female eliminations meant that bangers were very rare. $10,000 wasn't enough to get the returning champs to care. The vets comments...

    Are they doing more than the bare minimum to pursue the lawsuit? Filing appeases the yahoos and they can blame the system for any delays in making a quick exit. Then, they hope that they'll be in the playoffs often over the next couple seasons so they can quietly say "nevermind" and no one will...

    Agree on both counts. Glad I waited until it was (almost) free on Disney+. Starting to accept that I won't be in the target audience for every MCU show and will sometimes have to just get thru some of them to keep up with the overall storyline.

    Hafley leaving BC for NFL

    At least it aligns him with another NE P4 school in terms of contract periods. Assuming he succeeds for a sesson or 2, he'd then have the higher level experience that he's lacking and be perfectly positioned if either of the new hires at SU or BC don't work out for whatever reason.

    Enthusiasm from any hot start at home in September will be dampened by memories of similar runs that fizzled out in recent years. Dropping an early one at home will cause panic when looking at the H/A mix going forward. Possible bright side is that promising new talent that may not quite be...

    Revenue vs. non-revenue

    Revenue vs. non-revenue

    How do you define "revenue sports"? Just FB & BB? Or whatever sports charge admission? I expect that the latter varies by university rather than by sport. With expanded content on conference television networks that earn $, many more sports could also be considered as revenue producing too.
