I’m torn. I like the irony of the PAC-12 finally proving it can win it all, but a Michigan win gets us years and years of debate about whether their championship comes with an asterisk because of the sign stealing scandal.
I generally love Kirk’s Watch Grids, but he seems to have a different philosophy when it comes to Bowl Season than me. I think he could have chosen at least one Watch This game per few days.
For example, Miami (OH) v. App State is an interesting game. As the MAC Champion, Miami seems to be on the rise, knocking off a Toledo that I certainly thought would win. App State is looking to bounce back to its 5 game winning streak form and show that its loss to Troy in the Sun Belt Championship wasn’t indicative of their program.
While that game is nowhere near the “Must Watch” status of FSU v. Georgia, it’s one I’ll be watching on the 16th.
Curious what “must watch” games others put on their list that might be flying under the radar.
I’m an east coaster and fell asleep too early to watch this game. But today made me hate realignment even more. The Apple Cup in particular showed how dynamic the PAC-12 is.
I don’t know about anyone else, but for me this has been my favorite weekend of college football this entire season. Every game has been great. Really living up to the hype.

I’m posting this thread early this week due to the CFB games on Thursday and Friday.
That was fucking brutal. SEC Shorts is killing it this season.
I have to work for part of today, and normally that would annoy me, but I feel like this week’s slate is pretty meh. A couple of good games, sure, but not one of those days that I’m watching from noon to midnight.

My family is pretty meh on football, I wonder what happens if I turn on Rutgers / Iowa. Time to find out.

Head/desk.
Yes.
On our /c/cfb poll I have Washington at 3, under Michigan and Ohio State. I don’t understand why the press remains so enamored with Georgia.
I would say it’s largely because I’m bad at this, and you’re probably right.
EDIT: I just noticed the Coaches Poll did something similar to me. Of course, the Coaches Poll is often bizarre.

I found today’s poll super hard. My methodology is what it always is: look at the last week’s rankings, look at the results, and vibe my way through it.
The hardest part of this week was when I got to 20, realized I forgot about Oklahoma, and had to figure out the middle again.
I have very low confidence on my picks under the 10 or 11 slot, but based on this week’s results, so do the professional pollers too.

Appreciate it!
This is so hilarious I’m sorry I’m missing it.
Why are we still talking about them? Gameday just did a segment on their game. Like, who cares? I think in a few years they may be good but it’s just not interesting anymore.
I think the criticism of McAfee on Gameday has been good for him. I didn’t like the zany energy he brought at first because it was way too over the top. The fact that the fans didn’t embrace it forced him to tone it down, and I think that’s made him more of a team player on the panel.
I frankly wouldn’t mind if he came back next year anymore. His rapport with Herbie is particularly good, and he does a good job of bringing the crowd into it. So long as he keeps in mind he isn’t the one and only star of the show he’s a good addition.
These are very helpful blog posts, thank you.
I skimmed the posts and saw some shortcuts about sending Things links to Obsidian. Is that the post you’re referring to? It seems that method can be adapted to a regular URL, but I’m curious your thoughts.

Looking for a URL Bookmarking Solution with Obsidian
I recently started using Obsidian and have slowly been working it into my daily workflow.
One thing I’d like to be able to do is to use the iOS share sheet to send a URL to Obsidian with the ability to choose where it goes and make a note about it so I can keep track of bookmarks for various projects.
Is there any way to do this inside Obsidian or using iOS shortcuts with Obisdian?
Thanks!
I don’t know what to do with ranking Michigan anymore. I honestly think they are number 1 in the country, but that may not be due to talent, it could be due to unfair competitive advantage.
The next couple of weeks will prove if they’re for real or not.
The may very well be my favorite SEC Short of all time.

Another dose of reality puts Penn State, James Franklin atop college football Misery Index
www.usatoday.com Another dose of reality puts Penn State, James Franklin atop college football Misery Index
Penn State thought it had a great opportunity to win at Ohio State. But the Nittany Lions were again humbled and that's why they top the Misery Index.
It’s nice to finally have a MAC game not on ESPN+.
Can’t wait for MACtion.
That coffin corner punt downed at the .5 yard line was incredible to behold. Not just the punt itself, but the footwork of the special teamer to stay off the goal line.

Network Surveying Tools?
I’m a pretty competent home networker who has volunteered to help a friend figure out some persistent networking problems. I think there may be an issue of signal loss due to the positioning of the router, and I want to be able to demonstrate that with data.
Does anyone know of a network surveying tool that would display, at a minimum, signal strength at various sample points? Ideally I’d like to be able to use this on iOS, but I can also use it on MacOS. I’m very comfortable with the command line if there are tools you would suggest using there.
Thanks!
Oberlin College Defeats The Ohio State University 7-6
On this day in 1921, Oberlin College accomplished something that no other Ohio school has accomplished in 102 years—they defeated The Ohio State University by a score of 7-6. As you can imagine if we’re talking about this over a century later, it’s one of the few things ever accomplished by my alma mater in football, so take a moment, sit back, and enjoy.
You may have never heard of Oberlin College. Oberlin is a liberal arts college which is about 45 minutes southwest of Cleveland. We have several famous alumni in the media: Lena Dunham went here (and HBO’s “Girls” is basically every Obie’s post-college experience) and we have countless public radio personalities as alumni (RadioLab’s Jad Abumrad & Robert Krulwich, Gimlet Media’s and This American Life’s Alex Blumberg, This American Life’s Ben Calhoun & Alix Spiegel, 99% Invisible’s Roman Mars, NPR’s Jon Hamilton, and the BBC’s Aleks Krotoski).
Perhaps you also know us for our history: we are the first college to admit women

Favorite Amtrak Tools?
Amtrak’s website is a godawful mess. It’s hard to search, hard to book, and hard to follow train updates.
Fortunately there’s a number of good tools out there:
https://juckins.net/amtrak_status/archive/html/resources.php - one of the most comprehensive websites for Amtrak data. The most valuable part of this website is the on-time performance data. You can look at historical on-time data for any train and get a sense of how late you’ll be (because, really, is Amtrak ever early?).
https://railrat.net/ - The answer to the perrienial problem that Wi-Fi sucks on trains and no one ever tells you how late you are. This is a train status website that is optimized for quick loading. It is stripped down to the most basic text elements so you can get the info you need even with one bar. There’s even a QR code link so you can share it with folks you meet on the train.
https://amtraker.com/ - a very nice map based train tracking tool. Lots of good visualization here about how late a train i
