Miami is a victim of recency-bias losing 2 of their 3 but they really only have themselves to blame with the schedule they had. Bama gets humbled by a bad OK team (decent defense) and scores only 3 points for their 3rd loss of the season. Miami's 2 losses were by a combined 9 points. I have to remember that the CFB playoff should really be named CFP/ESPN invitational. Bama has ultimate name recognition which makes the matchups seem more sexy. Would you rather watch a game featuring a QB in Milroe who is pedestrian at best and can struggle to generate chunk/scoring plays for long strethces? OR a Miami team with a top-5 offense (#1 in points-per-game) and a QB who is 2nd in the country in passing yards. Sure, Miami can't stop anyone but I'd rather have a fun track meet like 48-45 than a 17-13 slog. While I still agree that the SEC is still the best conference in football, the disparity between #1 and #2 is as small as it's ever been. NIL and the Portal has disbursed the CFB talent more thoroughly across the Power 5. It's why Saban bailed.

There is something to the process but at the end of the day, it’s what makes the most $$$$$$

Never had the pleasure of a DSO Penn's Peak experience, although not from a lack of desire. Family holiday/birthday stuff always made it a non-starter for me. There's no question about how much the band likes playing there, and reports from attendees bear that out. Location and time of year are additional potent ingredients to help make even more magic happen. Seems unnecessary since the Starbase is on this page, but's here's DSO's show history at Penn's Peak: https://dsoforums.net/dso_starbase/dso_shows.php?quick_filter=penn's+peak&quick_filter_operator=Contains I hope ya'll get an old skool elective. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly is mine. All gas, no brakes, hard-chargin, mind-bendin, body spinnin, good 'ole, god damn, psychedlic rock n roll! DSO is THE vehicle for that ❤️❤️❤️ Have fun, be safe, live in the moment, and love one another! Enjoy Peakin at the Peak ⚡

Interesting - I've heard from others who thought it was excellent. I wasn't there so I won't debate your take on it - everyone has an off night, right? Being there is light years away from hearing a recording, but I'll listen and see. The setlist looks like a show I'd enjoy https://archive.org/details/dso2024-11-22.akg391.t-flac2448

Week 12 was crazy town! I saw the 1pm slate and figured it would be hot trash. Matchups were bleep - but the games were a blast!

Stoned Me gets a played once every blue moon. Believe it or not, about 20x since Jeff joined. I was surprised it was that many

Thank you, Rob

Good fences make good neighbors but nicking a fiber optic line might be the play. Killer presentation - some kinda engineer
