Willy Mac on Hey this is where I pretend we haven’t just been AWOL for a month. Here’s some Dumb Shit on Tigernet.
Okay let’s break this one down. First of all, not necessarily having to do with curling but a general comment on Winter Olympics media. Enough with the ironic “hey curling is shaking off its reputation for being boring and really gathering fans.” It’s fucking boring; it combines all the excitement of glacial motion with the unbridled thrill of sweeping. Okay, second off, Leslie Nielson? Really? Guy hasn’t been in anything worthwhile since The Naked Gun. No, not the sequels. Yeah, bad. Remember that one space movie with him on it that Comedy Central shows on weekends? Yeck.
Hmm… 1 AM and you feel the need to give a (probably) drunken salutation to your two year old on Tigernet. I don’t know what it means, but I’m going to go ahead and call Crimestoppers. (just kidding, folks, snitches get stitches)

I second that motion, I like Curling. Different strokes for different folks.
As for the second DSOT, he was definitely drunk…

Haha, I like how this ‘grandfather’ uses terms like “bestest” and has “boys” that call him by a nickname. Drunkard.

Actually, the idea that 2 year-olds read and participate on T-Net explains a lot.

I actually like all of the winter sports outside of ice dancing. Well, I did enjoy it when that Canadian people did the one to the music from Requiem for a Dream music. Now that was awesome. Skicross was a little stupid though, lets through ourselves down a course with three other people while flinging poles and ski tips in the air to possible poke an eye out

Those big, Swedish, curling women can grab my stones any day! But not install a handle in them. Or slide them across the ice. Ok, that was a bad analogy, I admit it.

So, his name is Spencer, his nickname is “Missy-Prissy,” and his grandfather is an embarrassing vocal drunk. This poor bastard has a lifetime of hurt coming.

fyi, I got the tiebreaking rules from http://tinyurl.com/an87zg
FSU plays @ Miami Saturday at 12, with Clemson playing Sunday at 6. If FSU loses, we’ll be alright no matter what. Otherwise we have to win to get the first round bye.
Those 2 wins against FSU are so valuable in the tiebreakers since everyone else played each other only once. If we end up tied with anyone, FSU needs to be in it so we can leverage those 2 wins.

If FSU, VT and Clemson lose their last game, Clemson would end up a #5 seed in the ACC Tournament

@19
How so? Shouldn’t they just take the head-to-head series winner between Clemson and FSU for the 4th seed?

i’m too lazy to read all the fine print in the link, so could you explain the following scenario, please:
vt, fsu, and clemson win. why would we get a 3 seed? didn’t we only play vt once, and lose?
22Josh
on Mar 5, 2010 at 10:56 am:
@ 20
Yes, you’re correct.
@21
The tie-breaker is based on winning percentage, not number of wins or losses.
23AndrewTheTerrible
on Mar 5, 2010 at 10:59 am:
so that means that, even though VT beat us, we would get the 3-seed ahead of them due to overall win%? that doesn’t seem fair, but i’ll take it! (until it screws us in the future, then i’ll bitch about it)
(edit) we are 21-8, VT 22-7. now I’m even more confused. I guess the tiebreaker comes down to alphabetical order

@23
When 2 teams are tied, they take the head-to-head series winner. When 3 or more teams are tied for the same place, they combine the records of those teams against each other (that’s what indented in @17). Then the places are determined by winning percentage of those combined records. So, 2-1 (.667) is better than 2-2 (.500) is better than 1-2 (0.333).
That only fails to completely break the tie in one scenario, if Clemson, FSU and VT all lose. Then the head-to-head between Clemson and FSU is used to break the remaining tie.
But yeah, the seeding rules are pretty crazy. If for some reason there’s a tie that can’t be broken by the rules, the commissioner flips a coin to determine the seed. Now that would be unfair–Your postseason hopes hinging on the result of a Swofford coin flip.

Seriously seriously:
Lt. Frank Drebin: I couldn’t believe it was her. It was like a dream. But there she was, just as I remembered her. That delicately beautiful face. And a body that could melt a cheese sandwich from across the room. And breasts that seemed to say…”Hey! Look at these!” She was the kind of woman who made you want to drop to your knees and thank God you were a man! She reminded me of my mother, all right. No doubt about it.
Ed Hocken: Frank, snap out of it! You’re looking at her like she was your mother for Christ’s sake!
