OT- Oops, voter fraud is underway

Gee Stretch, I looked this up on CBS News (link below). So applying the existing safeguards, Lancaster officials flagged a bunch of voter REGISTRATION forms that looked odd and MIGHT be fraudulent. They are tracking down the alleged registrants. Culprit appears to canvassers parked outside stores, etc. I ran into one just the other day.

My $5 sez that since the citizens contacted all seem to have interacted with canvassers, the canvassers probably filled out forms that were incomplete and submitted them. Wrong, yes. Stupid if correct, yes. Fraud? Not so much.

Bottom line? NO VOTER FRAUD. Possible/probable ineligible registration applications. Probably a bunch of Trumpers who couldn't fill out a form correctly if it was their grocery list.

I will just point out to you and 90, it was the District Attorney that specifically stated it WAS fraud. Isn't it a District Attorney's actual job to know what is and what is not fraud?

CBS's job is simply to carry water for the Democrat party, which they do quite well. Like switching Kamalalala's answers to make her sound a little less stupid. No surprise that they would claim that the DA was wrong. Just like they claimed Russian collusion was real and Hunter's laptop was false.

Nice to see though, that you think it is all fine and good for someone to falsely fill out a government form, and say it isn't fraud. How about if I fill out a loan application using your name and claiming your house as collateral for said loan? I could simply say it wasn't fraud at all, I was just confused. No harm, no foul there, too?

Maybe someone can explain this to me

Ouch! While the WS is going to take some viewers, this game tonight is about as big as it gets for the MWC. If it was on a Saturday it would be one of those games that Gameday would be considering. Playoff and Heisman implications played in one of the nicest stadiums in the country. It should be on a premium network.
That's the problem. it IS on a "premium" network. Need a premium subscription that is. But I know what you meant and concur. CBS proper does have 3 new episodes of Fire Country, Blue Bloods (that thing is still on?) and something else.

With the two teams left to play in the WS, baseball is over. It's the offseason now, lol.

OT- Oops, voter fraud is underway

Apparently some fine, upstanding citizens in PA didn't get the the memo from WAPO/NYTimes/DNC that there is no such thing as voter fraud. I wonder if voter fraud doesn't exist why the District Attorney is saying they found 60% of a batch of registrations (~2500) were fraudulent?

Meanwhile, the Biden/Garland DOJ is suing the state of Virginia for trying to remove people from the voter rolls that have ADMITTED that they are aliens. Now why in the world would they do that? What possible rational explanation is there for suing a state to force them to reinstate people that are not eligible to vote onto the voter rolls? It wouldn't be to allow and encourage people to illegally vote, would it?
Yawn. More whining from Trumpies with no proof to ever back it up. You are constant victims just like your hero.

Maybe see what happens with the votes first before whining about it being rigged.

Why is it that CBS SN is the only one to pick up the game on a saturday night that basically has no other games or competition?

There only game close in time to our start time is Cincinnati @ Colorado which got an ESPN slot.

Three games at 5pm: SMU @ Duke, SJSU @ FSU, Kansas @ KSU which are on ACCN, TruTV and the Deuce respectively.

Fox mothership has the world series - is that on FS1 too?
Don't want to compete with the World Series, I guess.

Mtn West has a horrible media deal. Look at BSU/UNLV tonight. Front and center on ESPN's CFB site. Rutgers and USC as TV competition. Broadcast? CBSSN.

Speaking of, wonder how Rutgers feels about flying across the country to play a game that starts at 11PM their time. Haha!

What are the odds? What needs to happen for CFP explained...

Guys... I love our Cougs just as much / more so than anyone, but...

1) We have needed miracles to beat scrub teams

2) We had a mouthful of ass munch against Boise State

3) We MIGHT have 2 nfl players on the squad

4) We play Big Sky teams from here on out.

We don't deserve the playoffs.

Are we a Top 25 team? Probably/Maybe.

This is flat out stupid if we get in.
Who cares? Honestly.

Winning is fun so, let’s keep doing it.

Only one more day till we get to hear how dumb our coaches are if we lose…or only win by 35.
And if UNLV somehow wins over BSU it will be a torrent of how we should have beat them too.

And to the topic at hand, no way does WSU have any chance of making the CFP despite what clickbait Wilner spouts.

Mid-Top 25 and the Alamo or Holiday Bowl are worthy and profitable goals IMHO.

I'd argue that the playoff - as executed - will not be good for CFP. It was always going to narrow the postseason to a fairly small number of programs that will consistently appear, with only a few interlopers from season to season. When combined with NIL, the portal, and the general deregulation of rosters (including the new 105 scholarship limit), it's a complete disaster.

I'm guessing that the networks will end up being sorry they pushed things this way in a few years. This year, outside of the CFP, there are 35 bowl games. This is down from a maximum of 40 after the 2015 and 2016 seasons. The CFP has 11 games, and those 11 devalue the other 35. The number of non-CFP bowls is going to drop every year going forward, because nobody cares about them.

The non-CFP games that happen before Christmas are going to evaporate. Very few people ever cared/watched, and now nobody will outside of the teams that are playing. Interest and value of those games is going to disappear. Even the non-CFP games between Dec 25-31 are going to have less value. I'm not convinced that the viewership lost from the 25-30 games that disappear will be offset by the CFP games. And if the viewers aren't there, the media revenue won't be either.
Those bowl games have been dying a slow death anyways, don’t think the new format will make it any worse. We shall see.

We aren’t making any noise but I don’t see how it’s stupid to look out and say “what if”. Most 16 seeds have no chance in the CBB tourney either but it’s pretty damn exciting to get in the dance and know that the entire sporting world will be watching you perform. The new playoff format allows for more of this…unfortunately it’s the only good thing to happen in College Football in the last few years.

There will be other upsets. Unfortunately for WSU, one loss by teams that are currently 15 spots ahead of us doesn't mean anything. Even though I wrote out the scenarios above....I agree with the notion that our team needs to focus on one week at a time.
If anyone on the team is looking at message boards we aren’t winning out. Every player knows it’s 1-0 every week.

I agree 100% that we are unlikely to enjoy the CFP experience on the field. I do feel that we have a legit Top 25 team though. We'll see how Texas Tech, UW, and FSU finish out their seasons, but those were good wins for us. And we'll see how BSU does. I'll never root for the Broncos on anything...but that was a damned good team that we lost to.

I will say that I feel bad for San Jose State. Their next four games are going to be tough and our close win against them is going to look worse as time goes on. It's not that they are bad... but @ Fresno St, @ Oregon St, vs BSU and vs UNLV is a rough stretch.

Don't be too down on the close win against Fresno State. If things play true to form, they will be 20-4 at home in the past four seasons with losses to New Mexico, Boise State, WSU and Oregon State. The New Mexico loss is the only bad one of the bunch. A close win in that pit of a stadium is a good win.

That 13% doesn’t take into account human bias. It does take into account that we’re entering upset season and every week
There’s going to be some top teams that suffer inexplicable losses. A few weeks ago 5 out of the top 11 teams lost, most in big upsets. Keep winning and there’s a chance. I’d say considering the typical course of a college football season, we should be in the 10-12 range if we are 11-1 at that point, so we would be right on the fringe, which is probably where we should be if we had an 11-1 record with this schedule.
