Good luck with fantasy drafting. Had one for a league last night. The lag made it unbearable. Impossible to scroll through menus and stuff, and now that's it's over it won't even apply to the rosters, so we might have to do it again. It's a disaster.

NCAA basketball 2014-15 thread
QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 24, 2014 -> 08:12 PM) Yup. It's going to be a very fun conference. You guys are seemingly adding a JUCO everyday, kinda crazy. Plus with Macintosh being eligible, if they can all learn to play together it could be an awesome team.

White Sox @ Tigers - WCIU 6:08 PM
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 08:18 PM) There are two FOUR man teams in NY for every day's/night's games. So eight sets of eyes, in total. Only if there's one play being looked at in that moment. If there's two then only four sets of eyes.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Apr 21, 2014 -> 02:22 AM) Anyone with a PS4 know why my PS+ account doesn't seem to be transferring over? I was looking for free PS4 games to try and it keeps offering me to sign up. I am logged in with my PSN account, and still have about 6 weeks left on my membership....hmm. They always have the ads in the store to sign up. Even if you're a member already.

Should High School Athletes be Paid?
QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 12:26 PM) All the same arguments fit for college athletes. The baseball, swimming, tennis, golf, lacrosse, wrestling, etc teams are losing money. College athletes should also be there for an education. High School football is becoming a year round sport with spring practices, conditioning, football "class" each day. etc. What do you teach? I teach High School Science. I see your points and I know it's roughly the same, something just feels wrong about paying high school athletes that's hard to put into words.

Should High School Athletes be Paid?
QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) What are college players? Aren't they student athletes? Or are we just going to allow colleges to hire employees to play for their team and not attend classes? First off college players bring in much more money to their schools then high schools. Most high schools lose money each year in their athletic departments. Football might make it, but then it's lost on the other sports. I'm just not comfortable paying HS kids to play football, it's not right and it'll mess with their mindset that they're there for football and not school when that is not the mentality they should be having. As a teacher I wouldn't be able to deal with students who have that attitude. If college kids choose to go in with that mentality then that's their decision. High school kids are too young and high school is too important for 14 year olds to be getting paid to play.

Should High School Athletes be Paid?
QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 6, 2014 -> 08:16 AM) If the argument is that some athletes generate profits for their school and deserve a cut, why should it stop in college? Because then they stop being STUDENT athletes which just isn't right in high school

No to HS, that's just absurd. Yes to college.

Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 05:10 PM) WTF are you talking about? Did you even look at the links I posted? The act of cloaking items and making them invisible to the human eye is being worked on right now. It's not "magic." I would assume the military does a ton of work with this actually. Whether you bend the light around objects, or wear clothing that just displays the image of what's directly behind it on screens.

2014 TV thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 1, 2014 -> 03:42 PM) The lack of the mother was a legit gripe of mine and other fans 2-3 seasons ago. That was one of the reasons I stopped watching until the last few weeks (that and the same jokes were getting really old). But that still doesn't excuse the bait and switch. They spent the last 3-4 seasons trying to sell the audience on the idea that Robin and Ted were not going to be together, that they had both moved past that, that Robin and Barney were a legit couple (and Barney had changed his ways and had grown up) and then nope, erase all that, we changed our mind literally the last 30 minutes of a show that aired for 4,576 minutes. Please audience, just buy it. Like Joseph Smith, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dummmmbbbbbb. Just to be clear, it wasn't the worst finale ever. It had its moments. It had a lot of call backs to earlier episodes which I liked. They really nailed the scene where Ted finally meets/talks to the mother. But the ending was just brutally awful. Just last week Robin told Ted she should be with him minutes before her wedding. Before that Ted went way out of his way to get a locket for her so no they haven't spent the last 3-4 years telling us they were bad for each other. Ted has always loved Robin. Even still the Mother and Ted spent 9 years together. That's a great relationship and Ted waited 6 years after her death to go for Robin. Ted moved on from the mother just like the mother moved on from her first love after he died.

I think the ending was too shocking and considered a cop out for people to like it right away. Remember though the final scene was shot in 2006 and it's clear that's the ending teds story should have ended with. I think in time the ending will grow on people. The kids said it

Really didn't think this weeks HIMYM was as bad as others this season. It wasn't great but it wasn't that bad. The slap episode this season was probably the worst of the season.
