Unsurprisingly it was a snobby California douchebag from San Francisco. 



ETA-- I'm not saying all folks from San Fransisco are snobby California douchebags, most folks I've met there have been great.  This guy was just the stereotypical coastal elite snobby douchebag.

How can so many spring breakers make bad decisions on South Padre Island if Texas is landlocked?!?!  It just don't make no sense!

https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-ten-sec-stalemate-college-football-playoff-format-clear-frontrunner-on-field/

Despite occupying five spots in this year's CFP, the SEC failed to reach the national title game for the third consecutive year. On the other end, the Big Ten claimed its third straight national title -- all three from different teams -- after Indiana's dominant 16-0 run in 2025-26. But the Big Ten's dominance was more than just top-heavy.

The Big Ten posted an 11-5 bowl record, good for a .688 winning percentage that ranked No. 1 nationally, followed by the ACC (9-5) and the Big 12 (4-4) among Power leagues. The SEC's disappointing 4-10 finish included marquee losses by Alabama, Vanderbilt and LSU.

Welcome to college football's new era, one where the balance of power tilts heavily to the north after years of southern dominance. According to legendary coach Nick Saban, NIL has a lot to do with that shift.

Well that and wealthy alumni can pony up more than their owners of car dealerships. Except for the Texas Teams they have the pockets to find coaches who can/will figure out the math.

Learned this year that they have a high school girls fight football championship in that city. Played on the same field just before the boys game at a weird time.
