Reply to comment by Japordoo in 2026 World Cup Will Have Four-Team Groups and 24 More Games by newzee1
I think the games this world cup were quite superior. It might have been because of the mid season break. But they were all great.

You mean along with OU's 2004 national champion banner because of the Reggie Bush scandal?
EDIT: Or along with UM's 2013 national championship banner?

It's just so incredibly random.
Keith Smart misses and Boeheim has 2 national championships.
Mario Chalmers misses and Bill Self has only 1 national championship.
I could go on and on.

Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football used the expression "little monkey" to describe small, fast wide receivers in the 70s and 80s - whether white or black.
But he got in trouble in the mid 80s over the expression.

As an announcer though, I'm surprised he survived that comment in the 90s.
But whether it was racist? Howard Cosell probably wasn't racist and he was using "little monkey" in the 80s for small, fast wide receivers in football. When he used it for black players, it got him forced out.

Thanks for looking into it. Sounds temporary but amazing how it affected so many at once.
As an American, it's unreal to think of 220 million people suddenly losing electricity all at once.

What's causing the power outage?
And 220 million is a LOT of people. That's nearly two-thirds of the US population

Reply to comment by mavajo in Bulldogs barrel their way to 2nd straight CFP title, set record for points scored in title game by EatSleepJeep
No, the only difference was that Noah Ruggles missed a 50 yard FG at the end. That's all. They didn't lose because Georgia "showed up ... every week." That didn't matter for last Saturday's game.
CFP playoff history is filled with teams that lost, and even lost big, and eventually recovered to win the CFP.

It's an American thing. We use commas instead of periods.

It's 1,000-2,000g.
I don't care how small the brain is. Something has to be protecting it from shaking.
