APC Open Thread #28: I'm gonna go to the Special Hell

PrintSome people can't keep up with a blog. I swear...
*ahem* - is IS THIs thing on? Crap, yeah, I guess it is. Anyway, football fans, welcome to the 28th edition of the APCOT. Feel free to make yourself at home. Many thanks to Brandon for allowing this silliness.
There are other Open Threads around SBN. Feel free to drop by any of them.
Battle Red Blog, home of the AFC South Eternal Threads. Very welcoming group of people, with quite the mix of Colts, Texans, and the occasional Jags fan. Disgust for the Titans is extremely welcome.
Niners Nation, home of the San Francisco 49ers...
Pride of Detroit Community Open Threads. Division Rivals the Detroit Lions may be, BUT their fanbase is a good group of people. Respect them, and they should respect you.
A bit new to the game, but still there: Revenge of the Birds OTs
Canal Street Chronicles, getting in on the OT action as well
Rules of the thread:
NO POLITICS
NO RELIGION
NO THREATS
NO NAME-CALLING OTHER POSTERS ON THIS BLOG. There will be other people who stop by this thread. Yes, this is a Packers blog.Please refrain from trolling others, even virulent fans of rival teams. If you want a trash-talk thread (like the one we had in the Super Bowl), OBSIMH promises he can make one.
Absolutely NO SAYING YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON TO POST, because if you do that shit, you're lame beyond understanding. Go stand outside your neighborhood bar and yell "FIRST!" at everyone walking in and out - report back on how many times you get punched.
Since we've had a little...issue...with people posting NSFW pictures, please keep in mind that some people might well read this thread at work. If you're going to post a picture that might be considered Not Safe For Work in any way, shape, or form, post a link to it instead of embedding it in the comment. That way, nobody gets in trouble. <---OBSIMH is right on this one.. No n*ps, sn*tches, c*cks, or *ssholes, and we're all good. Of course, I'm wondering what "issue" he's ever had, since there hasn't been a truly NSFW pic posted in any of these...
Y'know what? Just don't do it, 'k?
Please remember that any time you spend on the APCOT's is entirely voluntary. Nobody is forcing you to be here.
Except for PPF - we know that he occasionally makes little girls rec his posts. We're completely sorry for that thing he's sticking in your ear. Don't worry, he means no harm.
The only reason this post exists is because the last one fell off the front page. Rec'd Open Thread is rec'd.
With those rules in mind, have fun!

The full video of that guy's reaction
can be seen here.
Since it’s an “age restricted video” (for the language, I guess?), I apologize in advance if it’s a pain in the ass to view. You may have to actually sign into YouTube to see it.
With the full video, you can almost – allllmost – feel a little bit sorry for the guy, because he knew what was going to happen if Favre passed. But only almost.

Paul Allen was understandably disappointed and upset in the immediate aftermath
But on his radio show in the days after the game, he was absolutely a class act with a clear head. The classiest and sanest person in the entire Vikings’ universe.

I will never feel this way about Paul Allen.

To be fair, it was a pretty blatant one on the final play of the game.
but he had his back to the ref, so the facemask wasn’t obvious to the guy whose responsibility it was to watch for it.

Rudy busted by SEC for sports drink scam.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Lolz...
Summary of the movie:
In the movie, they imply that the coach didn’t want to let Rudy suit up for the last game, but that the rest of the team more or less refused to play otherwise. Then, on the last play, the Coach is shown to have to be talked into letting Rudy into the game for the final play.
Reality:
- The player protest never happened.
- The whole idea of playing Rudy at all was always the coaches idea. He wasn’t talked into it, since it was his idea.
As for the movie itself, how did it get made? Rudy himself self-promoted the idea of the story for over 10 years with no studio wanting to even give it a chance. In other words, it was only even made because he was an attention whore.
...

Being up is not a problem when you don't get hangovers
Today is just business as usual. :)
Ah, youth
Unfortunately, the stuff I like to drink usually gives me the worst hangovers. I can drink beer all night and not have any issue in the morning. Same with most wine, but I’m a spirits guy, and those exact a toll.
Chaser works for me, but it doesn’t make booze-sleep any more restful. So while I don’t get the headaches of crap stomach anymore, I still have to slam the caffeine to keep my eyes open in the morning.

Man, that would be nice, wouldn't it?
Unfortunately, it looks like everybody’s trying to set up their version of the App Store when it comes to downloading games/content for their individual ecosystems. The model is compelling: if you own the marketplace, you can take a cut of anything sold on it, but centralization would make for a much better experience for user. Upgrading from PS3 to PS4? No problem – your license transfers and you can just play your old games while shopping for new, more awesome ones. Going out of town for a week? No problem – download a PC version onto your laptop and play your saved games on the road.
Some of these services are starting to emerge, but again, only in a particular ecosystem – your Xbox ecosystem is somewhat portable now, but only if you pull down to another Xbox. Cross-platform shouldn’t be that big of a deal – the code itself can be downloaded under a single, portable license, and saved games are really nothing more than game states – mini-databases, really. Put an extra chunk of XML at the beginning to instruct each platform how to handle the data, and you can play your Skyrim campaign on your Xbox, your buddy’s PS3, or your girlfriend’s PC.
Again, though, that’s the tech part, which is easy. The tougher sell is converging these ecosystems into something that benefits the user but may cut into their individual profits. I’m not hopeful that that’s going to happen any time soon.

If they didn’t lose to TCU by 2 after a rather questionable chain of calls, they’d be 10-0 with the best record in the ACC. Still tied for the best ACC record, though, at 9-1. Plus, Virginia has recently UNC’s number. Almost beat them last year, and beat them the year before that by double digits. Also nearly beat Duke last year.

Dear companies that cap bandwidth after calling it "unlimited"-
Sure, I know it’s tough out there for a pimp. Everybody’s got to make a buck, but you’re going about it the wrong way. You already limit your customers at the demarcation point – they’re paying for a certain throughput speed, and you should deliver that. If they want more speed, let them pay more, right?
But what about these people who always max that out? Y’know what? Tough shit. You offered, they paid. Raise your upstream bandwidth to cover your constants and your incidental spikes. That’s the right thing to do. You know what the wrong thing to do is? Capping and cutting service because they hit a predetermined limit.
Let me make an analogy. Imagine the hardcore bandwidth user as a real smooth guy. The kind of guy who looks like Brad Pitt and can seduce women like James Bond. Got that mental image? OK – now, imagine that this guy works in your wife’s office. And he takes a liking to her. He starts up with the smoothness, and she tries to resist, but it’s more than any woman can turn away after a while, and so she goes with it. She starts screwing this guy, in your bed at home.
Terrible, right? Here’s worse: After you spotted this guy at the company picnic and saw the way he looked at her, you got suspicious, so you installed a few cameras around the house, including a pinhole cam right above your bed. And now you’ve caught her! That bitch! She’s screwing that suave MF from the office! You’d bust her, but you’re stuck at work! And now all you can do is watch. And then, just when you’re dying to kill the guy, your feed slows to a crawl. There’s quasi-Pitt’s ass, still pumping away. There’s wifey’s face contorted into spasms of pleasure, and you know you can’t look away, because of hate. And what was that? Was that, “IIIIIII llllloooooovvvvvvveeeee yyyyyyoooooouuuuu”? You can’t be sure because your feed’s bandwidth has been capped and you can’t make it be over any quicker.
That’s why capping bandwidth is bad – people will try to fill the available bandwidth. That’s just the way it works, and it’s the cost of doing business. But would you rather have someone who pays for 16Mbps get 16Mbps or would you rather that one really big transfer that they’re trying to get done take 2 hours or 2 months? Every time you cap someone, imagine that you’re watching your wife, naked, sweaty, and in ecstasy under a stranger and ask yourself how long do I want this to last?

LOL nice analogy.
But to take a cost perspective (even more so that some of these companies have established towers), the major costs for a lot of the cellular and data providers comes in fixed assets. Initially, when texting became popular, these companies built up pretty big networks to deal with the increased traffic. At least now, these companies have made up that cost and significantly more. Now add in the fact it really doesn’t cost that much to even send a text in the first place.
Now I am trying to imagine how these companies deal with data issues. I going to go out on a limb and say that the servers they use (is that what they use?) probably don’t cost too much. They probably breakeven on the infrastructure to use data pretty quickly.
Please, correct me if I am wrong. I would like to know more about this. I think the biggest scams right now are cell/data providers and textbook purchase/sellers. Good thing there are people out there that are innovative and providing unique rental and e-book services to counter the atrocious practice of textbook gouging. Have yet to see a real answer to data plan crap other than people who got ahead of the ball and have the unlimited plans that are just golden due to contract renewal clauses.
That dog just won't hunt.
by Bush League All Star on Dec 22, 2011 12:38 AM CST up reply actions
It's a little more complicated than that
All data providers have Points of Presence (POPs), and these POPs are where they provide service to the customer. That POP may be a local phone switch (those faded green metal boxes on street corners) or it may be a cell tower. Thing is, each of those POPs roll up into something bigger; call it a SuperPOP. The total bandwidth provided from the POP to all of its customers combined is limited by the bandwidth provided from the SuperPOP to the POP. SuperPOPs roll up to Cores, and are similarly bandwidth-constrained.
So let’s make this easy: Core to each SuperPOP has 1Gbps, SuperPOP to each POP has 100Mbps and POP to each customer has 10Mbps. Therefore, one core can support 100 customers at full bandwidth, correct?
As Lee Corso would say, not so fast my friend. You’ve got two different market forces working here. One is the customer – the vast, vast majority of customers don’t use their entire bandwidth, and this is a well-known phenomenon. Back in the 60s, Bell came up with algorithms that could determine how much you could oversubscribe a given trunk based on average usage. So let’s posit a single POP that provides 100Mbps of service – that’s your trunk. A given POP can provide ~24 customers with 10Mbps of data each, and no one will complain, because everybody gets the speed they need, when they need it.
The second market force is even more complex – it’s upstream of the Core. A data provider can have any number of links, at any number of speeds, to any number of other data providers. Some of these providers host big-bandwidth, high-demand services, like Netflix or YouTube, so your data provider attempts to keep costs low by buying bandwidth in bulk from these providers. There is an entire data provider infrastructure and ecosystem that the average consumer knows nothing about.
So with that in mind, let’s look at your question – if your POP is a cell tower out in BFE, how much data usage are you expecting this to generate? Truthfully, the vast majority of cell tower POPs have nowhere near the 100Mbps uplink speed I talked about up there – try something more like 3Mbps. And their switch can handle ~40 calls at once, plus data, so the more people yapping on your tower, the slower your download is gonna be.
On to texting, which is by far the biggest rip-off in any industry ever. Do you know how much bandwidth an individual text takes up? The answer is none. SMS is what’s known as a sideband service, which means it piggybacks on the normal “Hello, are you there” traffic a cell tower and receiver transmit anyway. OK – so it takes upstream bandwidth, right? Sure, but if 100 people were texting at once on a single cell tower, it would still take less bandwidth than one dude downloading Google’s homepage, because texts are short and simply encoded.
To make the full comparison, let’s say that you pay a bookstore $100 for a textbook. $20 of that is profit for the bookstore, $20 goes to the publisher (after printing and promotional costs), and $10 goes to the author. You’ve essentially paid 50% of that cost to various entities for their skill in writing, publishing, and selling that good. A text message, OTOH, can cost you up to $.10 to send, of which approximately $.000001 goes to cover the capital expenditure, manpower, and upstream bandwidth costs it takes to transmit – a profit margin of ~100,000%
So no, textbook sales have nothing on cell companies when it comes to making profit off the consumer.

TL;DR?
Just kidding.
That makes it much more clear. Yeah, the texting costs are so low that companies can run always run a profit on you if they can get you to text.
I am not advanced at all when it comes to computer, internet (just know how to find funnies), and how those work. I am fine with people paying for access to use the data and web services. I just find it weird they charge you with bandwidth. I think your explanation touched on that, I just probably don’t get it. But why does bandwidth need to be bought? It seems almost as fictional entity as derivative markets (though I understand how they work much more easily than buying bandwidth).
Hit me with it Clutch. This is pimp info I would like to know, so I can avoid being stupid. I don’t have a data plan. I have a tablet that I leech unsecure WIFI with though! :)

Truthfully, it's because bandwidth is the last marketable entity for which it makes sense to charge
If you go back to the old days, the telco would charge you for everything. Your handset? Monthly rental fee. Access to the service? Monthly fee. The line from the local switch to your wall? Monthly access fee. Dial tone on the line (or a switchboard operator that would physically create a circuit for you)? Both a monthly fee and a charge per access. Time on a local call? Yup, there’s a fee for that. Long distance service? Not only did you pay through the nose for the calls (per minute), but you often got charged an extra LD access fee from the telco.
The market slowly changed in the US due to outside competitive forces. First, electronic switches took the place of switchboard operators, so that fee could be eliminated. Other companies began selling compatible phone handsets for cheap, so it didn’t make sense to stay in that market. The infrastructure stabilized to the point where local calls became “too cheap to meter”, so although plans like party lines or metered billing are still around, they are for the very poor or the very thrifty. The government stepped in to allow LD competition to force prices down…
One by one, the telcos lost their profit centers, concentrating more and more of their profits in fewer and fewer line items. And then the Internet happened. The way most people connected in those early days of broad-scale Internet acceptance was via modem, using local calls that were “too cheap to meter”, so until your Aunt Sally called, you could stay online as long as you wanted. This created demand for always-on Internet service at the consumer level, and so various services (ISDN, DSL, Cable modems) were created to meet this demand. As technology improved and telcos were able to offer faster speeds, they created the notion that more bandwidth == more money per month. At this time, it makes sense: in order to provide faster service, the telco needs more expensive gear.
But the pricing is jacked up – most telcos plan to see Return On Investment on new infrastructure in the 6-18 month range, but once that new switch is paid for, the rest is pure profit (minus other Operating Expenses, natch). Your price per month doesn’t go down just because your new fiber line is finally paid off, now does it? However, the price per Mbps model is so entrenched in the consumer’s mind that nobody thinks to question it.
To speak to Wiedmann’s point, an alternative model (flat fee for access, all-you-can-eat) is possible, but only if the telcos don’t plan on any infrastructure upgrades, ie they’re at the top of technology tree and nothing faster is possible within our lifetimes. We have yet to see this happen, as the highest marketable speed on individual switch interconnects is 10Gbps and we’re working on 25Gbps now. Once it is no longer is relatively cheap to increase speed anywhere along the path of customer-POP-SuperPOP-core-upstream, bandwidth will be marketed as “unlimited” and that fee will be dropped in favor of a flat fee for access. I would say that we’re still a couple of decades away from that happening anywhere, and of course, it will happen in hugely-connected urban areas (Tokyo, Copenhagen) first. Seeing something like that across the US is not something I expect for at least 40 years.

Thanks. That makes sense.
I understand the working terms like profit centers and ROI more readily than I do the tech terms.
You kinda touch on it a little, so where do you think the market inefficiency is? The telecom industry has a very good barriers in place to prevent entry like high fixed costs and industry competition. Though those lines are getting blurred with the sharing of towers and such. So competition may be scared off even if they have the ability to improve the tech and make profit off that while catering to the customer.
The market will be there as long as customers are willing to pay (demand side), and it seems they are still willing to pay even as the market cuts supply. This could be potentially dangerous for consumers in the short run (5-10 years), while I think some savvy entrepreneurial type will develop a way to produce value if they are willing to take on the risk.
I could sit here all day and learn from the wise Clutch about this shit. LECTURE ON PROFESSOR. This stuff is above my paygrade.

In the US, the market inefficiency is distance to customer and standardized pricing
Part 1: The barriers to entry aren’t very high in metropolitan areas, especially ones which contain large, shared datacenter space. These so-called “carrier hotels” are generally found in any city that contains more than a million people. Big, famous ones exist in DC, Dallas, and San Jose, but the other ones are nothing to sneeze at. Atlanta, New York, Chicago, and LA all have very good carrier hotels, as well. These allow for a central space for data providers to exchange data with one another very inexpensively from an infrastructure standpoint.
CapEx may seem like it would be a problem, but there is a very, very large secondary market for switch gear out there. You can build out a very respectable near-carrier-grade network for approximately 40% of the cost to buy new if you’re willing to trawl those waters. And with these metropolitan areas, you have your choice of urban backbones – most utility companies have fiber laid along the major arteries of their distribution networks which they will lease out for cheap. So that takes care of your upstreams, your core, and your backbone.
Building out SuperPOPs and POPs? Same secondary market for gear. But here’s where things start to break down in terms of connectivity. You can strategically place your SuperPOPs on your backbone, but how do you get from your SuperPOPs to your POPs? And from your POPs to your customer? Simplistically, you want your POPs located near to center of a customer base, but that means you need to get back upstream to the backbone somehow. The term for that is “backhaul”, and that’s where the first real costs begin to accrue. You can lay your own line or have Bell do it for you (and charge you monthly for it). Or you can find a different network service provider (NSP) that can make it happen for you, again for a monthly fee.
Once your POP is up and running, then you need to get service to the customer. This is known in the industry as the “last mile” and the problems here are immense. You have to deal with utilities companies, other telcos, city and state regulations, OSHA standards – everything, basically. Or you can look to an existing NSP that already has lines laid to all your customers. Typically, these are telcos and cablecos, and you’re back to paying to use their already built-out infrastructure.

"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Wired vs. wireless
Part 2: Those are the traditional issues facing wired carriers. Now the last mile problem may look like it’s solved in a wireless world – POP to customer is handled via cellular packet radio. Awesome, right?
Except the last mile then shifts – POP to backbone becomes your main problem. In order to make pretty, pretty coverage maps like the big boys have on their websites, you have to have lots of towers and lots of radios. Oh, and radio frequency spectrum, for which you bid to lease from the FCC. These bids can get into the tens of millions of dollars range, BTW.
In either case, your main inefficiency involves entrenched (usually literally) monopolies on the last mile, and this is where mom and pop ISPs fall down.
But that brings us to the other problem – that of standardized pricing. Let’s say you’re Bell, and you already have your last mile infrastructure in place. Cool, right? Except that maintaining a line from the basement of an office building on your backbone (a “lit building”) to a customer on the 20th floor is much, much cheaper than dragging a fist-sized chunk of fiber out to J. Random Manufacturing Corp which has factory and warehouse space twenty miles away from the backbone. Unfortunately, both of these companies are going to want to pay the same amount per Mbps/month, and this is something which you strive to provide. The factory is going to pay more for line cost (both build-out and monthly fee), but they will want that bandwidth at the same price as a tenant in a lit building.
And as a sales professional, it is much easier to not have to figure mileage into your bandwidth costs, so that product catalog entry is surprisingly simple. What that doesn’t reflect is the two new POPs you have to build out to get that much bandwidth that far out. At that point, kiss your dreams of 12-month ROI good-bye – you’ll probably need 3 years. So only do it if the customer signs a three-year contract, right?
And that’s the way it usually works. Customers sign ridiculously long contracts in order to ensure service to an area that’s not built out, and telcos require this to make the gamble work for them. In smaller, more urbanized countries (much of northern Europe, for instance), this isn’t nearly the issue it is in, say, Albuquerque, NM.
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
In conclusion
Part 3: So for the US to truly be able to drive down prices on bandwidth, a national plan would need to be formulated and funding found to get it underway. A process similar to the build-out of the Interstate highway system would need to be undertaken, and regulatory bodies would need to be formed to ensure that all the trains stayed on their tracks.
And here’s where the process breaks. The big telcos have a virtual monopoly on the last mile, meaning they can keep prices high, generating enough revenue to keep pressure on the government via lobbying groups to ensure that this will never happen. The only way the federal government could make better regulation and nationalization work is if they formed their own, competing telco that was allowed to operate in existing telco spaces, and they would be fought in every court in the land if they attempted this. Eminent domain would be invoked so often that we’d forget the meaning of the word, and many quarters would scream bloody murder about socialism.
It would be a political disaster, but I have to ask: Will staying status quo not lead a much bigger, broader disaster in the future?

Actually, I was just bragging about how cheap I am
Google Voice is a free VOIP (voice over IP) service which allows me to send (and receive) text messages to cell phones for free. Also, it’s a unique number which forwards to both my land-line & cell, and I can answer on both. Also, it’s possible to call out free; I just select the number online & it calls my land-line, as soon as I pick up it starts ringing the number I called. The ~$7/mo ($20/90 days) is to keep a prepaid cell phone active which I use rarely. My balance keeps increasing, as I don’t use it enough to use up the money faster than $7/mo.

So why is it that AT&T gets so much crap then? They are doing it the right way, right? They capped it and if you don’t like go somewhere else. Yet people bitch about them and go to the guy who throttles it but talks about their low prices.
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
The answer there is "kinda"
When AT&T saw how much smartphones and tablets were impacting their bandwidth usage graphs, they pulled their “unlimited data” package from the market. Now, the best plan you can get is 4 GB of data for $45/month. If you do the numbers, that translates to a constant .012Mbps for a 30-day month. Your 3G-connected device is theoretically able to transfer at 3Mbps, but usually runs at around 1Mbps, meaning that if you’re streaming movies to your iPad to entertain your bored kid, you’ll be able to get about 10 hours worth of data down before you hit your limit for the month. Think that’s enough for Christmas break?
In the wired world, retail bandwidth in a well-connected urban area with a Service Level Agreement ensuring 99.99% uptime costs about $30/Mbps/month. In the wireless world, if you want 1Mbps per month with no SLA, AT&T’s best pricing extrapolates to $3,750 per month. That goes a little beyond “daylight robbery”, wouldn’t you say?

…isn’t that what wifi is for though? Heck I rarely even use my data plan. Its for looking at crap in the car or I suppose at work or something.
Not saying its a good deal but at least they are being up front about it and not acting like they are giving you full unlimited data.
My board kid can go find a DAMN FRIEND before he’s sitting in his room all Christmas break…dang it kids are lazy these days. Technology is destroying our youth. (note…my kids are 3 and 1.5 so this isn’t a problem for me yet).
oh and AT&T didn’t pull it, they just no longer offer it. I still have unlimited with them and as long as my company continues to pay for it, I always will. My wife has the 200 MB plan and has only gone over once…we use wifi almost all the time.
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
I find it hilarious that biggest promoters of the "Secure your Wi-Fi, dammit!" movement are telcos
They don’t want you to give any of your spare bandwidth away, y’see. In the past, I’ve maintained dual Wi-Fi networks – one that lived on my network and was secure and another that was free for anyone who could connect to it. If the freebie started impacting my speeds, I would shut it down for a couple of hours until I was done with my bandwidth-intensive stuff.
And you nailed the biggest problem with these plans: it isn’t the home – it’s in the car during long drives. It’s a helluva lot easier to hand junior a tablet and tell him he can watch ‘toons as long as he wears headphones than it is to laboriously download everything ahead of time and have him tell you he’s bored a third of the way in.
And I also have unlimited data with AT&T, but the only way I can keep it and upgrade my phone (iPhone 3G that’s starting to show its age) is to pay full price for a new one, transfer my SIM, and hope they don’t notice the difference. Not a cost I really relish.
At the same time, my max monthly data usage over the last year and a half has been <300MB. Maybe I should just bite the bullet, huh?
"Who ever heard of the Cubs losing a game they had to have?" -Frank Chance
"If [Ruth] had [called his shot], I would have knocked him down with the next pitch." -Charlie Root
Well yeah I can see why...
The reason telcos offer for securing WiFi is on the bottom of the totem pole when compared to the other reasons why.
But that is cool how you did the dual WiFi. I think there is like one state that makes it illegal to take WiFi, lol enforcing that.

Not true. You can upgrade and keep your plan. I’ve done it twice, including just a few months ago to the new Galaxy S2 (for their discounted $200). Even if you move away from iPhone you should be able to keep it. If they tell you that you can’t get a manager because you can. Who told you that you won’t be able to grandfather your unlimited?
ONly certain places can do it, AT&T, Best Buy, maybe a few others but most second party companies won’t be able to help you (Amazon Wireless can’t do it).
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
Yeah the car is the one issue. I know we listen to Pandora in the car and use MY phone for it since it has unlimited rather than my wife who has a 200 MB plan. Couldn’t you just get the kid a PSP or something rather than playing games that require the internet…maybe this is just me not being in tune with the world of 15 year olds anymore…I am not 34 and my kids are toddlers, I am that disconnected stage where I don’t have to know and I have no desire to know! haha

Big 10. Virginia shredded your 15th overrated Michigan squad by like, 15 points, and ‘shredded’ is an understatement. The Big East is easily number 1, and the ACC is going to get better when the Big East splits up and Syracuse/Pitt join it. B1G is probably 2nd, they could jump to 1st next few years, though.
