At least three bowl eligible teams have decided to forego bowl games, including Notre Dame. Notre Dame specifically cited being snubbed by the college football playoff committee. My opinion, I am not all that interested in watching 5 SEC teams and 3 Big Ten teams complete in the playoffs. Yes those 8 are great teams. I'm just not excited to see more of the same brand that's been on TV week after week, if Notre Dame is not in the mix. Looking at Notre Dame's schedule, they had an impressive year. Alabama just got beat soundly and now has 3 losses. They have already lost to 2 of the 12 playoff teams. Both Miami and Alabama lost to some lower teams. Seems like a farce that both of them are in, and not Notre Dame. ESPN/Disney/ABC has not been doing well financially. They might benefit with 3 Big Ten and 8 SEC teams, yet Notre Dame pulls good rating too. I get it. I'm old school, from the days when you would just throw on a pair of jeans and head to the stadium, perhaps with a bottle of one's favorite adult beverage. There was far less gambling, far less media hype and not so many crazy over reacting fans. But such is the state of sports today. One can search on Google how much revenue and donations some of these schools take in. It's huge. For example, Penn State football just hired Iowa States coach at a salary of $10,000,000. They have the money to do that. Iowa State players voted to skip their bowl game. I don't blame them. To me, knowing how hard the players train all year at schools like Notre Dame and Iowa State, it's demoralizing to lose your coach or get snubbed by the CFP committee. Yup, that's college football these days. I've threatened to switch allegiance to the NFL, and perhaps now I will. Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman, from the NY Times sports page.

👆 According to the Internet, the release date in the States will be in February. The exact date is TBD. This may be a smart strategy, to build momentum away from the US media bubble. If yes, it seems to be working.

SPOILER * * * * I wondered if there might be other closeted players. Hayden and Scott were the possibilities so far. I base that on their interaction with Shane. Yeah, Hayden is married but he hovers around Shane. Maybe he just wants a handsome bro to hang with.

A WWE professional wrestling event, The 2025 Survivor Series: WarGames, drew 46,000 fans tonight, in San Diego at Petco Park. Later, our local news covered the event during their sports segment. Does anyone in this forum watch pro wrestling? May I ask a question? What is the interest in these events? The competition outcome is entirely staged, right? Yet the crowd cheers with excitement. I don't mean to criticize, but I am not sure I understand what draws this much interest. Full disclose, I attended a pro wrestling event at an arena back in Minnesota when I was young. The place was sold out. Yeah, I did not get it then either. I just went along with a friend.

I started epi 2. Will Hollander's mom turn out to be a homophobic, greedy beeotch? Would be more interesting if she was banging one of the Russians. Slutty mom! Secrets!! I appreciate the sex scenes were produced by people that actually know how it works. 😃 Kudos to Crave and HBO. ❤️ From the OUT.COM article.

Does hooking up with a professional rodeo cowboy count? 😗. He was definitely "cowboy" presenting.❤️ The closeted athlete trope is not new, though. The book must have been extra good. Looks like it starts tonight, Heated Rivalry, on HBO Max.

Is the latest trend calling someone other than your mother "mama"? Sort of a sideways term of endearment?😆

You might try interviewing at a few places to see if they seem appealing. I was recently told Iowa City, Iowa is a great place. I wish I had asked why so great. According to the Internet, Iowa has a nursing shortage. Someone that's gay or Asian might find Iowa City welcoming compared to many places. It has a large university and a well known teaching hospital. I assume it is cheaper than New Jersey. University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG

Saw him years ago in a play in LA. He was so good in his role, and also looked delicious 😋

Even though I love Matt Bomer a lot, for me Jonathan Bailey made Fellow Travelers a great watch. A great performance.

They say bad luck comes in threes. But do they?

I remember being concerned I would be naked in the shower, starting with junior high school. Long time ago. A shower was required after gym class. I got used to it. Years later at my health club no one seemed to worry about being naked. Come the Internet, did young men worry about being captured on video and displayed in the Cloud? Or are they just not comfortable being ogled and cruised by so many out and proud gay men? I recall a straight friend mentioning there was no way he would set foot in the locker room at our health club. He didn't explain, but I knew why. I didn't read the Atlantic article behind the paywall. I assume these days modesty has become customary. I work out at home now, so have no first hand knowledge. Are the old timers disappointed, how the opportunity to see fresh young naked bodies in the locker room is now a rarity? That's also an assumption. 😉

Just follow the yellow bri........

Today he is in Torrance, CA, $250 per hour. He has an eye for borrowing attractive images. I should be so lucky if he is this good looking.

@SHUBEAR did you try massage Papi.

Ours was plain cheese pizza. Mom added her own mozzarella and also added other toppings.

I plan to purchase a manual press for pomegranate juice. I see a wide range of designs and prices, some costing hundreds. I assume those are for restaurant bars. I need something small and simple for my kitchen. Does anyone have experience pressing pomegranate juice and can recommend a product? I did try the rolling pin method recommended by some home chefs. 👎

My mom made Chef Boyardee pizza, which came in a box. I remember enjoying the tangy sauce and thin crust. Ultimately Mom transitioned to making pizza entirely from scratch. I still love pizza at home, from scratch.❤️

It was the book CMBYN that I connected with. I remember being 17, and pining for a new, young, Italian adonis social studies teacher. I could imagine spending the summer at a villa with him. 🙂 Unlike the book, the movie didn't move me. Yes. To each his own.

I watched Titanic today for the first time. It won 11 Oscars. Yeah, I didn't love it. Call Me By Your Name. Was a smash hit at Sundance. For an indie film, it made a lot of money. I wanted to love it, but I did not love Call Me By Your Name.
