National Championship Game Thread

Oregon vs. Auburn for the BCS National Championship.
It's hard to believe it was just yesterday that Oregon was facing Oregon State in the Civil War Game. And by yesterday, I mean approximately six weeks ago.
Prediction:
Tough one to call. Two similar high powered offenses that haven't played in over a month. Oregon appeared to close the year struggling with unimpressive wins over Oregon State and Cal as opposed to Auburn who annihilated South Carolina in the SEC title game. This might be important if there was one week to prepare as opposed to six. Chip Kelly has been a master at making halftime adjustments, so I think he can coach his way to a victory with so much time to prepare.
Oregon by 10.

I'm still not comfortable rooting for Oregon
My friends are Oregon fans. My wife and her family OSU fans. I consider myself an OSU fan. Kinbote didn’t send me a shirt. I actually own a pair of basketball shorts from Auburn.
I really am rooting for a terrible game where TCU is declared AP National Champion.
I could get behind that
But with these offenses, I doubt that could happen. A 4-3 final would be hilarious though.

Bet to win outright
$100 wins $450, so you’d get $550 back when you turn in your ticket.
by Eric Stephen on Jan 10, 2011 4:58 PM PST up reply actions
Right
The standard bet (with the line) is usually -110 or -105, so you have to bet $110 (or $105) to win $100.

The game was the third most-watched cable television program of 2010 and ninth most-watched of all time, outside of breaking news coverage.
The Balchelor or Castle average more than 17 million people?

really, I am a little sympathetic to you, but I find when I get to a sub-thread that I simply can’t or don’t want to read, it is trivial to ‘z’ through it. If this were DT, complaining about OT would be a rule 8 violation for you.

that's actually a really good question
because according to your boy Paul, it’s not, theologically speaking. His idea of Christianity won over and against the movement by James (who is called Jesus’ brother, btw) and Peter (though Peter kind of represented a more moderate approach to the Christ movement, when compared to James).
The Maddz remix:
Basically, James/Peter held that if you were to accept Jesus as Christ, you had to follow the Jewish law, which included circumcision and kosher food rules. Paul disagreed and thought that the laws were only for the Chosen People. Gentiles, however, could get into the whole “chosen people” thing by accepting Jesus as their savior. The movement became more and more gentile/Greek as time went on; this is why you start to get anti-Semitic passages and narratives in Matthew and John. Those that believed in Jesus were being expelled from synagogues and persecuted.

Paul ended up being the main guy after Jesus, despite not being a disciple or believing in Jesus while he was alive.

I always wondered what it’d be like to attend college at UNLV.
I dont know how I could concentrate on college if I lived in Vegas.
UNLV should really advertise that they’re only a mile away from the strip.
Fuck, I would have applied there if I knew about that.
According to Wiki, it has almost 30,000 students.
I’ve never know anyone thats went there, but you’d think it’d be a pretty good time.
My sister in law went there.
Not sure why you think it would be a good time. College is fun because of parties and finding shitty dive bars that will serve minors. I didn’t turn 21 until my senior year so UNLV would have done nothing for me. Bars and casinos there are probably excellent at snuffing out fake ids.

There might be a problem with that.
The family also owns the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, and has reportedly run into money trouble there. There have been reports they missed a deadline to refinance a $400 million loan. Bloomberg News service is reporting the Palms’ money trouble could put it in a position for a takeover bid by an investment company, which would reduce the Maloof’s ownership share.
The Rich get poorer!
So does Las Vegas Queens. (Four Queens, even.)

Chad Billingsley: The Man With the Golden Thighs
The first time I heard my daughter say "shit"
I had just brought her home from a birthday party – she was about five or six – and just after I got her out of the car, her little party gift bag had the bottom split and the content drop to the ground. Calm as day she says, “shit.” I thought about this for a split second and simply explain to her that that wasn’t the best way to respond and that that wasn’t a word that should be used by little girls.
“But mommy says it.”
On this inside I shouted “YES” and fist-pumped like Kirk Gibson.

My daughter is 6-1/2
and I still haven’t heard her cuss yet. But yesterday she asked me if I was Jewish. I asked her if she knew what that meant. Of course she had no idea. I told her it was a religion, which she kind of knows what it is. Just to be on the safe side, I told her it was probably not best to ask this question to anyone. #TheThingsKidsHereAtSchool
Nope. What will you say if she asks you if you’re Italian? A simple “no” is OK, and an explanation of family origins to start her off. Only some Jews nowadays follow the religion. I don’t know the numbers but it has to be a smallish proportion. (I’m one of those who doesn’t, though I’m Jewish and happy to say so.) It’s more like being Italian. Fair enough, I guess some people might find it uncomfortable to be asked, perhaps especially if they’re not Jewish. But something more along the lines of “People don’t always like to be asked about their origins. It’s better to wait for them to tell you if they want to.” might do the trick. Personally, I don’t mind curiosity, especially from a child, and I’d bet a lot of people wouldn’t mind either. If someone asked me if I’m Italian, or Catholic, I wouldn’t be put out. But if you want to avoid all possibility of making people uncomfortable or giving offense, I think that would be the way to go.
I bet it would be fun to hang out with Charles Barkley & Bo Jackson.

In other words, three plays (either the 4th & 2 LenDale White stop, or the 4th & 5 Vince Young TD, the tipped INT against UCLA, and the final Stanford TD) are all that separates USC from 6 straight titles.

In the big game of 1814
Yale vs Harvard.
Harvard went off as a 43 point favorite, having been bet up from 26 points when the Yale All-American QB was declared ineligible for accepting 2 muskets and a covered wagon as payment from Yale alumni. Of course back in 1814 touchdowns were worth a dozen points and since we were 25 years before the invention of goal posts teams were awarded 5 points when they were able to capture the jug of whiskey from the opponents sideline. Harvard ended up losing the game 24-5 after capturing the Yale whiskey jug early in the game. They were never quite the same after consuming the entire jug. Columbia University won the National Championship that year using a system that was a predecessor and eerily similar to the modern bowl and BCS system. The team that could roll a cannon ball across the length of the field and dispose of it into a pit dug by a local witch the quickest was determined the champion.
