Just slammed some delicious sausage gravy, took a shot of spiced rum punch, I've got a beer in my hand and the mood is good here. Cal, saved you a parking space champ. We won't start flip cup until 11. Do you have Appletinis or some nice wine coolers for cal? Something with an umbrella? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were truly vastly overrated. And let's face it.....Ohio State faced a far tougher opponent in their conf. Championship game than did LSU. You just can't say that the "rumor" was complete nonsense, can you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been complete nonsense in that it may never really have been a fact....but.....the plausibility of it was not nonsense. But, the game was such a big runaway that even if it were not nonsense it did not matter anyway. A 30 pt. game is hard to cheat to overcome.

SEC favorable treatment, yes largely because of *Clemson and Alabama's recent successes. But if you believe in such things OHIO STATE has done well in the Fiesta Bowl. GO BUCKEYES, 13-0 going on 14-0. *Yes Clemson is ACC not SEC. Edited December 9, 2019 by mjp28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say there will be far more OSU fans at the fiesta bowl than Clemson fans. Arizona has a lot of buckeye fans and alums out there. Honestly if OSU had choice they are choosing fiesta bowl if their opponent was LSU or Clemson. Only time they chose Atlanta is if they played Oklahoma. Edit. It also gives OSU one more chance to have bijan robinson come see OSU in person with his family and Jack Miller (from Arizona) to try and convince his mom Ohio state is not too far away.

The Gipper Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 12 hours ago, Dutch Oven said: I have no idea why lawyers are generally despised. They are despised because they are the ones that call others, perhaps even you, on their wrongdoing. Hypothetical: You are a fuckup or an asshole, you do something that is either bad...commit a crime or some intentional tort, or you are merely unfortunate, like have an auto accident, or your marriage breaks down. In our society, it is the job of lawyers to take you to task.....to prosecute you, to judge you....to represent opposing parties who want compensation from you. So, you hate those attorneys who are going against you. And you also resent the attorney you have to hire to try to protect you, because you don't want to pay money to them....for a variety of reasons: that you are wrongly accused and why should you pay to prove that; or that you just hate having to go through this process even if you know you are wrong, or are at fault, or don't think your estranged spouse should receive what she want.... and resent having to put up with it. So, you blame the lawyers. But, the fact is, it is the lawyers in our society that do all those things that you probably take for granted: they protect the Constitution, they protect your rights, your freedom, your liberty. They..in conjunction with law enforcement are the ones that put away the bad people that should not be free to roam around in society. If YOU are the victim, they pursue your interests....they obtain the protections and compensation you are entitled to. Thank God we have lawyers, otherwise we would have anarchy, tyranny and chaos.

Briefly, not the two page resume - I spent most all of my working career in the steel industry starting in maintenance, production, plant engineering, sales. I had many other interests and got an MBA with a dual major in management and finance, started a tax business and other interests. I'm now a retired sports bum. ......edit add, in 1978 I took out the GMAT and LSAT and had to decide between a paid MBA and stay in my profession or law school at Akron nights for four years and start over. I took the MBA but did take a lot of business law, labor law, legislation, etc. I was 28 at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
