They are playing and competing in relevant games so yes.

Granted they get more TV money from this, sure... for now. The few programs at the top stay there while 20-130 play some version of musical chairs. To me, it isn't meaningful and it's certainly not a seat at the table.

That's not true though.  So you are saying there was always a seat for UCF?  They went and took it while we reminisced about one WVU game that one time.  And oh the glorious red cupholders.

You're saying they have a seat?

It’s about money 

That's why only 12/130 teams ever have a chance and why it will always be that way.

I don't think it would have ever really made a difference whether we sustained success or not. There never was and never will be a seat for this program at the big kids table, and that's true for about 90% of the schools out there.

So the next logical step is B12 ----> part of the G-7 and the remaining P-4 have a bigger share of the pie. What's the endgame here? A 32 team super league with all the name brands?

Timmy can run, but was hesitant last night especially on those two picks. He turned short or maybe even long gains into INTs, probably because he got popped pretty good on his first drive and thought twice. At this point, you have to go with Timmy. He's the only one that can get the ball anywhere near our receivers (who did show the ability to make plays in tight coverage last night... especially Weaver) and by default, the only one that gives your offense a chance. Let him make these mistakes and learn and build chemistry with the receivers. There is literally nothing to lose.

I've been here since the start but I honestly think we should just shut the football program down. We are uconn without the basketball program. 

You bite your tongue about basketball sir.

Chyanne Dennis (Sunrise, Fla.) was assessed a red card in the 52^nd minute for a foul on a clear goal-scoring opportunity outside of the penalty box. As a result, she will not be eligible to play in USF's next game against Tennessee.

Couldn't find anything specific for college (although sure it's out there) but it looks like it doesn't matter when in the game the red card is given, it's a minimum 1 game suspension that accompanies the ejection.

My bad. I mentally substituted the lightning delay for half time.

25 minutes ago, Triple B said:

Probably why I didn't even notice she was back in ........ Would Dennis have missed the entire UT game if she had gotten the red card in the first half?

She did get the red card in the first half. I'm not sure how eligibility for subsequent games is determined to be honest.

What are the chances that on Sept 2nd the WSoc game will be more exciting than the football game?  

I'll bite. I'm excited for football and am curious to see what the team looks like this year, but I'm dreading our defense being shredded by two bruising RBs. Women's soccer however should be a good match (assuming they can keep all 11 players in the game) against a ranked Tennessee team. Syndny Nasello clowning defenders is a a true delight to watch.

Short handed and with back up keeper ...... and announcer said that the Dennis red card will bleed over into the next game (top 25 Tennessee). Does that mean she'll miss the first half?

Martinez was back in at goal for the second half, and honestly, they didn’t really need a keeper. Kentucky had a really weak attack and applied 0 pressure. Dennis will miss the Tennessee game entirely.

WOW GREAT GAME I really thought they were done for with 30 minutes to go so happy i was wrong. Awesome comeback

Something was bound to find the net. USF outshot Kentucky 20 to 3 and had 9 corner kicks to Kentucky’s 0. They were clearly the aggressor even being down a player for half the match. It was a pretty impressive performance, though UK is not exactly a powerhouse.

Completely outclassed Kentucky for 45 minutes short handed. If you enjoy watching soccer, the ladies are fun to watch.

Quite the contrary, but I’ll let you do your own research.

So given the majority of adults are vaccinated, hospitals are seeing serious illness among vaccinated individuals, but at less than 1/10th of the rate before vaccines were available. Seems like a good thing.

Check out what’s going on Israel, a country with one of the highest vaccination rates in the world.

Let me guess, lots of unvaccinated people getting sick and clogging up the hospitals? Sounds familiar.

Which you obviously would claim was your truth at that moment 

I'm from Miami, I don't need tips on how to commit insurance fraud from you.

And how exactly would one prove how one personally felt about something at a given moment?

By attesting to its veracity when you sign and submit the form.

Do you typically find people to be more concerned with their honesty than their wallets?

Probably not, though I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. But, I guess there is a reason why providing false information on an insurance application is a crime.

Maybe I’ve just gotten unlucky but since the Affordable care act my premiums sky rocketed and the distinctions were only on age with no distinction of sex with everyone paying a blended average. If you are still able to charge more based on sex why wouldn’t everyone just identify as whatever is cheapest?

Because it's dishonest?

Good idea, can I also not have to pay more in my premiums to subsidize people that choose to get pregnant in life which is physically impossible for me and costs a fortune, you know like how it used to be? Or is that still not cool? How about obese people? That seems to be as risky in this instance and is expensive across the board, can we charge by the pound (is that compatible with body positivity)? If someone goes to the hospital and tests positive for drugs can we go ahead and void that policy so I don’t have to pay for their mistake? If someone needs a new liver and has been drinking can we go ahead and remove that too? Skin cancer and tan skin? Heart attack and McDonalds? Skiing? Skydiving? Most risk can be reduced or eliminated. Or is this the one risky decision that it’s cool we care about?

Women of child-bearing age do pay more in premiums. People with high BMIs do pay higher premiums. Many insurance companies do charge more for smokers. Many insurers will not cover known illicit drug users. This is nothing new. Actuaries are typically not dumb people.

**** now I’m going to have to buy Covid insurance too? Do I also need uninsured Covid insurance?

Hopefully not, but maybe health insurers should tack on a surcharge or raise premiums for COVID related expenses so the rest of us don't have to subsidize those who choose not to take the precautions that reduce serious illness.
