Big 12 Standings

Most of the so-called experts picked Utah to win the Big 12. They are now 0-2 in the conference. Sports Illustrated picked Utah to finish 1st, K State 2nd, Oklahoma State 3rd, Kansas 4th, and Arizona 5th.

Kansas and Oklahoma State are currently last in the conference with an 0-3 record. Utah is 1-2. It's still very early with some teams only having played 2 conference games and rest with 3.

Every team probably still has a chance mathmatically. What we've seen so far is major parity in the conference which is the one thing the so-called experts got right.

Texas Tech is in a strong position with 3-0 record with wins against Arizona, ASU, and Cincy. Their next 2 games are against Baylor and TCU, so they could easily be 5-0 heading into their last 4 conference games.

BYU is 2-0 with wins against K State and Baylor.

Iowa State is 2-0, but hasn't been challenged with wins against Houston and Baylor. Colorado is 2-0 with wins against us and Baylor in OT.

The last team undefeated in conference is West Virginia with wins against Kansas and Oklahoma State.

Kansas State's win against Arizona and Utah's win against Baylor aren't counting as conference games because they were played due to pre-existing contracts before conference realignment.

Every team in the Big 12 has 6 or 7 conference games remaining. Based on the current conference records and remaining games for each team, it looks like every team still has a shot at getting to the conference championship game, except for the 3 teams that are 0-3 who would have to run the table to have chance which isn't likely given their current records.

Despite how poorly we've played, at 1-1, mathematically we still have a good shot to make the conference championship game. If we can beat Cincy today to go 2-1, and then go 4-2 in our last 6 games, we would finish the season with a 6-3 conference record which might be enough to tie for the 2nd best record in the conference and then it would come down to tie breakers which, at this point, anyone's guess how that will turn out.

At 3-0 Texas Tech is in a great position to get to the conference championship game as their remaining are against Baylor, TCU, Iowa State, Colorado, Oklahoma State, and West Virginia in that order. They could easily be 5-0 heading into their final 4 games. If they can at least split them, they would finish with a 7-2 conference record which will almost surely be enough to finish first in the conference for the regular season.

But that's all a pipe dream with the current state of our offense and defense. We don't even have a single win against a decent team, let alone a good team. TCU lost to Houston by 11 points and we needed a comeback to barely win the game against TCU.

With the parity we've seen so far, I think the Big 12 will end up with 1 team that finishes the regular season at 7-2, and a 3 or 4 teams that finish at 6-3.

OT: Car total loss and insurance payout offer

I've never done this before, my wife's car was totaled in flooding from Helene.

Insurance just offered $21K in payout for it. The KBB value for trade-in value is $26K to $29K for the condition of the car. They of course had "their" appraiser do the appraisal and to no shock, they are claiming it's worth the $21K. I looked at the report and they're comp'ing a car with 30K miles against cars with 70-90K miles.

So they're about 20% lower in compensation offered vs. what this car would get on the market today.

Is this normal? Should I take it? I could hire a lawyer I guess but it'd take forever and I'd have to pay the lawyer, and I'm not sure how much more we'd actually claw back in compensation.

thanks.

What sections in Bounce House have bleacher backs? My usf neighbors want to take their UCF loving son to game

I know the Clubs have individual chairbacks but what sections outside the club have bleacher backs? I know its like one or 2 sections on either side...but not exactually sure.

My usf friends across the street want to go to the UCF Game (not the usf game tomorrow) and are looking for 3 tix in any West Side Section with Bleacher Backs as Mom needs back support for a long game. Curious about what sections have bleacher backs?

BYU to host Big Noon Kickoff Show today 10 am. BYU Sudents were lining up at 11 pm last night.

Cool to see BNK head to another Big 12 school as I don't think they have been to Provo before either.

OT: Northern Lights

I took this photo last night with my iPhone. I was planning on setting an alarm to wake up around 2 am but this was at 7:15 pm.

This was taken over the Shark River Inlet in Central NJ. People living north of the city were seeing the blues and greens but we only saw the red and purples.

We went down to the boardwalk after to see them over the ocean. Lots of boats and drones out so I’m sure there are much better photos than this.

Damn, why am I going now?

Cabana 129 (50), 2nd Row w/Softball Parking

As many know, my flight got canceled, and due to my clients, I cannot leave today to make the 21+ hour round-trip driving. And it's too late to donate them to the military or first responders, ** as the gentleman I normally go with just got back to me today that his wife+son can no longer go, so it's just him.

I have Cabana 129 (45-45 yard line), 2nd row, Seats 17-20 (about 46-49 yard line) w/Softball Parking. I'm willing to sell the following, either ...
  • (2) Seats 19-20, or
  • (3) Seats 18-20, or
  • (4) Seats 17-20 w/Softball Parking
Again, the guy I usually go with hates going alone, and his wife/son are otherwise busy. So it's just him. As such, if you want all four (4), I'll throw in Softball Parking, and he will sit with some friends elsewhere. Otherwise it's 2-3 available, and his [semi-annoying] drunk whining like during Colordo. J/K, he's a good guy ... usually (you know, like me). :)


** P.S. If you know any military or first responders that want to go, hit me up via DM/PM and I'll give you my text number so they can contact me so I can send them 1-4 for free (no charge). Honor system here, only do so if they are really military, whether active, reserve or veteran, and/or first responders. I'm only going to lose money selling them anyway, so I'm totally open to getting them to military/responder friends/family instead, for free.
