Sportshoopla's 2019 Poll Week 8 Discussion Thread

[kburjr]

Sorry

Backstory: there's a guy on another football board with a name similar to yours who goes on great wall o texts about this brilliant algorithms he has come up with to explain HIS theories on strength of schedule and other football matters.

He becomes increasingly unglued when challenged. His posts are legendary in the WTF category.

When we saw your name, chills went up spines and hairs on the back of necks stood up.

You chose an unfortunate name because it immediately reminds people of this guy.

Hope this explained it a bit.

You might start each post with, I am NOT Christopher Lane Foote.

Not many people are.

Not many people are.

And if you ever saw one of these walls, you'd thank higher powers for that.

 

[Collegefbfan]

Well, I can certainly do that.

I am NOT Christopher Lane Foote.

I know my "computer poll" is flawed. It is still pretty decent. I have done it for years. In all reality, for me, it adds to the suspense of the season to see who moves up and down each week. Like, I know Bama won't stay that far down the list if they beat Auburn and LSU (or one of them).

This reminded me of this thread

Male PA Announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.
Female PA Announcer: The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.
Male PA Announcer: The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a white zone.
Female PA Announcer: No, the white zone is for loading. Now, there is no stopping in a RED zone.
Male PA Announcer: The red zone has always been for loading.
Female PA Announcer: Don't you tell me which zone is for loading, and which zone is for unloading.
Male PA Announcer: Look Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again. There's just no stopping in a white zone

I think Oldtimer might be Christopher Lane Foote's dad

 

[7Samurai13]

Can we all agree to stay off Oldtimer’s lawn?

 

[batchaps4me]

Do we have to play "real" music too?

What if someone moves his lawn to a different yard?

 

[7Samurai13]

What if someone moves his lawn to a different yard?

His lawn was always that lawn, how would someone move it?

 

[fishinabarrel]

Maybe it wasnt his lawn to begin with, then someone moved it to his lawn without him knowing, but then put it back on the original lawn and now he thinks they are BOTH his lawn?!

 

[bamagrad75]

WHO'S on first

 

[fishinabarrel]

And where the hell is @Winged_Wheel88 and his string of gifs for this thread?

 

[Chewbaccer]

Has anyone seen @iowajerms ?

If he’s gone this week, I can add up the votes, but just know I’m pretty computer illiterate, so it won’t be near as pretty.

Wax cylinders or vinyl discs?
