Build her a cake or something

Ask questions and listen to the answers. And then ask more questions based on the answers. Basic communication 101. Just be an engaging person that’s interested in the conversation. This works for men and women alike.

And when I say “ask questions,” I should clarify: this means normal questions. Not “do you have any school girl fantasies?” But more like “if we were to plug in your iPod right now, what’s the first artist we’d hear?” (For all the creepy ones out there, that’s just another way to ask what kind of music they like)

Let’s not confuse the losses with “not being good.” Their 2 losses were on the road by a combined 4 points—both on the final plays of the game. They’re a good football team that was beat by good football teams playing in the toughest conference.

Again, those losses prevented their chance at the playoff (as it should), but to leave it at losses=bad is misguided.

Well OSU may be up for debate more than others. But no, Michigan and TCU have definitely earned it. I think that Alabama would beat them, but bama didn’t earn the opportunity.

I don’t like the “best team” debate. If on field results aren’t going to matter, why even play the games?

Not sure if you’re agreeing or disagreeing with my post. I literally said that Alabama didn’t prove their worth for the chance to play in the playoff, so it doesn’t matter if I think they’d beat the other playoff teams.

I have no doubt that Alabama would beat TCU, OSU, and Michigan.

And you earn your chance to show it during the regular season. They didn’t do that.

Edit: need to clarify that the “they” above is bama. They didn’t earn their chance.
