  • c/cfb Week 6 Poll
  • My ballot is based on current season accomplishments; trying to avoid poll momentum, previous seasons, or prestige, except for tie-breakers. My own proprietary "nose test"

    Alabama overtakes Texas for #1 (dubs over Georgia vs dubs over Michigan, although Texas's win was an away game, and more convincing, I think Michigan is that far behind). And Utah takes Michigan St's place at #24. Missed last week due to work, illness, broken hvac combo.

  • No One Is Buying AMD Zen 5 CPUs, So What's Going On?
  • As of yet, I don't. But the idea is I eventually move my VM/container host back to my more powerful desktop machine. It also runs Gentoo, so now I can build everything in RAM, even large packages like Firefox, without having to close other programs.

  • No One Is Buying AMD Zen 5 CPUs, So What's Going On?
  • For me, it's because:

    • I have a 5950X and it seems pointless to upgrade from there. Sure the new stuff is faster, but disproportionately so for the price. I would need to replace a bunch of components.
    • I recently upgraded to 128GB RAM, and it was cheaper to do that with DDR4
    • I've had 2 faulty Ryzen processors (1700X, then my first 5950X), and I've learned to wait until the kinks are ironed out.
  • What happened to the gitlab mirror?
  • yeah, for sure, and I browse those too. But, I also like to browse the ebuilds that have been updated since my last sync, and usually am using gitlab to see the git history - but, by default, the local ebuilds have a git depth of 1.

  • What happened to the gitlab mirror?

    I used to use the gitlab mirror to browse the ebuilds; I prefer the gitlab UX to the github UX. But, for some reason, it stopped getting updates several months ago. Anyone know what happened?

  • I didn't rank Florida State, so make that 2 other voters. b/t this poll and last year's polls, some of the people using computer polls need to work on refining their algorithms :P

    I too would like to see the spreadsheet.

    Hopefully, there are more submissions in the coming weeks.

  • Montana tipped ball for 2pt conversion in 2OT

    An alternative front-end to YouTube

    Invidious - search

    I thought this was an interesting play (~10:57). Motion, fake hand off; ball is pitched to number 5, who runs backwards trying to find an open receiver. Breaks a tackle while being facemasked, throws the ball. Ball is tipped, and a Montana player catches it off the bounce.

    Big 12 adds 'clarification' to tiebreaker rules

    > “If all the tied teams are not common opponents, the tied team that defeated each of the other tied teams earns the Championship berth.”

    > As George Stoia of On3’s Sooner Scoop pointed out, the original tiebreaker rules did not have that sentence in there. The language has been added to Step 1.

    LSU QB Jayden Daniels the first player in FBS history to throw for at least 350 yards and run for at least 200 yards

    >After exiting the Week 10 loss to Alabama with concussion symptoms, LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels was considered questionable heading into Saturday's home game against Florida. But there was nothing questionable about his performance in a 52-35 win over the Gators. Daniels became the first player in FBS history to throw for at least 350 yards and rush for at least 200 yards in the same game.

    > Not this year, this decade or this century. Ever.

    > Daniels' 606 yards of total offense included 372 yards passing and 234 yards rushing -- 85 of which came on the longest run by an LSU quarterback in program history in the second quarter. He scored five touchdowns in all.

    TCU knew of Michigan's sign-stealing scheme prior to CFP game, used 'dummy signals' to dupe Wolverines
    sports.yahoo.com Sources: TCU knew of Michigan's sign-stealing scheme prior to CFP game, used 'dummy signals' to dupe Wolverines

    The Horned Frogs coaching staff was aware of Michigan's antics after being warned by several coaching staffs. And they had a plan to counter it in last season's College Football Playoff semifinal win.

    Jaguars meet 24th-ranked Green Wave in New Orleans on Saturday night

    South Alabama trolls New Orleans with Mardi Gras helmets

    https://archive.ph/M9B61

    > South Alabama unveiled its uniform combination late Thursday via a short video on social media — white pants, white jerseys and white helmets. But an added touch is an alternate logo that includes the standard Jaguar head between two halves of the Mardi Gras harlequin, with “Mobile 1703″ (the year of the city’s first Mardi Gras celebration) on a banner beneath.

    > But the “coup de gras” (so to speak) is on the back of the helmet, which reads “Home of Mardi Gras” on the bumper plate. Though New Orleans is more famous for Mardi Gras, Mobile actually began its celebration in 1703, some 150 years before New Orleans first did in 1857.
