Does anyone else on here not give a F about college football?

So I was fortunate that my college didn’t have a football team. We had a good basketball team. 

I always get the question from diehard CFB guys If my college experience sucked without CFB. It didn’t. 

Now as an adult, I can’t tell you how great it is to have Saturday’s free. So many of my friends have to schedule around their teams CFB games. 

Another perk of not being tied or not caring about CFB is you can watch any game, with any group of fans, and still enjoy it, without worrying about an allegiance.

Meh, I'll watch a game now and then if I'm not doing anything better.  You could say I'm not emotionally invested.

Honestly, the fact that I'm not invested - except for WVU games, of course -  makes it more fun to watch.

I use to be that way.... Until I married a Georgia girl :). Now, I follow the SEC, primarily UGA. Fortunately, she never was a pro person so thankfully she isn't a Falcons fan. She loves cheering for TD, for obvious reasons but hates Cam. 

Surprisingly, when I lived in Brunswick Co, there were several classmates who cheered for the Dawgs.

It does help to objectively look at the teams if you're not a blind Homer of one particular team.   I enjoy watching someone make a play no matter who he plays for.

I'm not attached to any schools and I don't care about any college sports whatsoever. Only time I get interested is NFL draft season and that's still just in draft prospects. I watch games around this time to look at players but don't watch any college FB live and don't care about the outcomes of the games.

I tried to get into watching it but it’s just so amateur. I get that’s the appeal but it’s basically sloppy AF NFL. 

Now going to a game...that’s fun as hell. I wish NFL games had that kind of atmosphere.

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
