Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024I do understand why people have this point of view. I guess I just put more emphasis on who you’ve played. The paths are not equal. That’s why the Ivy League champ in basketball doesn’t get a 1 seed in the tournament. 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024That makes no sense 😂😂 if you need to go incoherent to keep arguing I’m done. Tell yourself whatever you need to 👍 100
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024And you don’t get to pretend that Wyoming and San Jose State are equal opponents to Alabama and Clemson 120
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024The competition quality is not the same and you know it…. Boise did go undefeated against a G5 schedule. Their one loss is because they’re willing to schedule up. Over 13 games, the quality Boise played is nowhere near what any other Top 10 team played. This is common sense backed up by numbers… 100
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Not if that 13-0 team is from a G5 conference. The Top 10 teams in the rankings would all go undefeated against a G5 schedule. 100
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024I 💯 agree with removing the bye’s for conference champs. I know Boise is a very good team, I’ll never deny that. But going through the MWC is not the same. There is no way they deserved the 3 seed. And same with ASU in the Big12. Does removing the bye’s make it perfect? No, but it makes more sense. 200
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Or we just needed the offense to show up before the 3rd quarter… Pisses me off that we’ve lost to them twice by a total of 4 points. But the mantra is “it’s hard to beat a team 3 times in one season.” And the Vikes and Lions are going to be tested by us again. 110
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Backups are to be expected. Kids can’t wait at all anymore. But Squirrel and Mathews are really surprising. I’d love to hear Squirrel’s reasoning. He’s leaving a 10 win team, with a rising QB, in an offense he plays a solid role. Where does he think he’s going to go that’s a better situation? 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 30/12/2024Cutting the deficit to 10? Would’ve been nice if the offense had shown up before the 3rd quarter… 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 29/12/2024I’ve learned a valuable lesson tonight… ChatGPT is no good for dinner recommendations 😂 010
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 27/12/2024All I can think about is all those Bears fans trumpeting a Super Bow run in August… Packers, Vikings and Lions fans have united in their glee of this particular year of misery in Chicago 😂 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 27/12/2024He says this like “ignorant stupidity of MAGAs” is new news… 😂🙄 020
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024The irony 😂 After watching Narduzzi walk off the field without shaking hands I’m extremely happy Pitt lost 020
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024I’ve done the spreadsheet for years, but never thought about a letter. Really good idea! 030
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Invisible Rulers by Renee DiResta. Needs to be required reading for American citizens. It’s an amazing look at how social media is fueling misinformation 010
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Trump has been a criminal since long before Republicans made him their Demi-God…. It goes all the way back to the 80’s. There are also no losers…the great thing about Democracy is the board is reset every 4 years. 030
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024I’m not in the habit of questioning Bloomberg’s reporters…but Jesus H Christ, if this is true the man is dumber than I thought possible. 030
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024True, definitely super talented. I wish she’d give up the “country fusion” BS though. Just because Taylor switched genres doesn’t mean Beyoncé has to. I’d rather her stick to the music she’s best at… 030
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Feel like this was almost guaranteed. Too much talent in that QB room over the next few years. 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024I don’t know if I’m more irritated with Bridgewater for trying to get a ring on a team he hasn’t contributed to, or the Lions for helping him try to do it. Either way, the NFL Gods will not allow it… 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Perfectly asinine comment….thats code for “we’ve got so much to fix I’m not going to focus on 1 thing.” 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 25/12/2024I turned it off….As talented as she is, she needs to get over this “country fusion” nonsense and get back to the music she does best. 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Does #Beyonce plan to die on this “Cowboy Carter” hill? Go back to the music you do well… 020
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024#OSU clearly spent the month of December fixing problems and improving. #Vols clearly spent the month of December. . . Well, based on this showing, no one is real sure what Heupel and crew have been up to. But it sure as hell wasn’t improving. 010
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Tim Banks has been absolutely embarrassed by two Top 10 teams. It doesn’t matter how good you look against unranked teams when you look this bad in the big games. 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Game over. Tim Banks has got to go. The defense has been a complete joke in our two Top 10 matchups this season. Nobody gives a damn how good you look against unranked opponents. These are the games that matter and he has been out schemed in both. 110
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Chance to make it a game and they go 3 and Out, shank punt. Typical Tennessee 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Unfortunately this is a Heupel trend. Big games on the road make him look like a dumbass. No amount of talent can make up for being out-schemed. 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024He knows he can do whatever he wants bc Tennessee never left Knoxville. I’m so effing sick of being embarrassed by good teams on the road. Our coaching staff is nowhere near as good as we think it is and it shows in these games. 020
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Certainly seems that way. 9-12 have been an embarrassment to college football. 020
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024This is two straight Top 10 match ups where I will be damned if I can figure out what the #Vols game plan was. If anybody has any info on what Heupel and Banks practiced the last 20+ days I’d love to hear it. 010
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024Heupel is absolute trash in big road games. 2022 @ South Carolina, 2024 @ UGA, and now this. I’m really getting sick of it. Who here DIDN’T know Jeremiah Smith was going to be a feature tonight? 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 22/12/2024….And Josh Heupel has come to yet another big road game with absolute trash… I have no idea what his problem is on the road 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Conference championships DO mean something. They mean you play in the playoff. But the strength of schedule needs to matter in seeding just like it does in basketball. 000
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Yeah but they won it against inferior competition. The Big12 and MWC are both extremely weak. Winning those conferences should definitely get you in, but not a Top 4 seed. 110
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 21/12/2024The seeding is the problem. This isn’t a true 7 vs 10. ND is a top 4 team. Putting Boise and ASU so high has f’d up all the matchups. They’ve got to get rid of automatic bye for conference champions. The conferences are not equal. 100
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Or they could get rid of the automatic bye for winning your conference and just use the CFP rankings Top 4. There is zero rationale for Boise and ASU at 3 & 4 040
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Does anyone believe ND would’ve dominated Bama or South Carolina like this? I don’t… 🫠 020
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 21/12/2024They certainly haven’t looked like a Top 10 team in the two Top 10 matchups they’ve had. The problem here is the seeding. Boise and ASU should not be 3 and 4. ND should be a top 4 seed. That would make the beating they’re giving IU more expected. 100
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 19/12/2024It took me a very long time to realize this. I had an odd compulsion to finish each book well into my 30’s 020
Blake @bstansell.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Yes, if you watch enough TV you can make any reality make sense 🙄😂 010
