Green Bay is now my pick to play the Pats in the Super Bowl.   Dallas looks great, but I'll take old age and treachery over youth and enthusiasm every time. 

The Sadhawks are gonna be one-and-done.   Their O-line is a complete dumpster fire and they just lost Tyler Lockett for the season with a broken leg.  See also:  Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota, both of who were having great seasons.  Carr in particular.

Things that are also a step up from Audacity. 

I'm not knocking FL Studio.  Like I said, I own a copy and enjoy it.  It's just not ideal for live audio work.   It was born in house, and it's DNA is all about sequencing.

It's probably the most used sequencer in existence for EDM - to the degree that there is a small army of annoying people creating stuff with it that have no idea what they're doing. 

If you want to record, it's the wrong tool, though.   Can't beat it for simplicity, which is also it's primary drawback.  If he wants a more full featured DAW with excellent sequencing capabilities, look into Propellerhead's Reason.  It will do everything pretty well, and it's MIDI capabilities are top-notch.

That is exactly what they are.   I'm not fond of them, but once set up, they're an OK entry point.

That was an @$$ kicking.   The Sadhawks looked especially sad.   Wilson was just off.  He's normally a really accurate passer, and he couldn't hit anyone.   Alternatively, if anyone wants to know why I think Aaron Rodgers is the best QB anyone has ever seen, he gave a lesson in "how to pick apart a defense missing some key players."   No DeShawn Shed?  Then lets open the game with a super long toss against his second string replacement, especially knowing that all world free safty Earl Thomas is also out hurt.

Since AZ lost to Miami,  all the 'Hawks have to do is win one more time and they clinch the division.  The way they are playing right now, though, that may be in question.

Fortunately, they close the season against the '49ers.   

Meanwhile, in college football, the Huskies are 17 point underdogs to Alabama with the over/under at 55.    That's sucker money.

Given the two defenses, I'd be surprised if the total combined scores is 17.

Yeah, JV. 

Jake Browning - 21st in the nation in passing yards, ahead of Jalen Hurtz who isn't even in the top 40.     Browning is the sixth ranked QB in the nation  by QBR.  Hurts is #23.

Miles Gaskin - 15th in the nation in rushing yards, ahead of Damien Harris, who isn't even in the top 40.   The Huskies #2 rusher, Lavon Coleman,  is a 228lb hammer that is 150 yards short of a thousand for the season.  The Tides #2 rusher is.... Jalen Hurts.

John Ross - One of the fastest guys in FBS and the #23 receiver in the country by yards, ahead of ArDarius Steward, who isn't even in the top 40.

If anyone has JV players, it's Alabama's offense.  It's a one trick pony ridden by Jalen Hurts,  an undeniable absolute thoroughbred of an athlete.   Their offense is essentially "Jalen Runs the Ball."   We see what happens when they run into a tough run defense like LSUs.   The Tide lives and dies with it's defense, which is phenomenal.  It's ranked #1 in the nation, and it isn't even close.  However,  UW's is 10th, so they are really good, too.   

The key to this game offensively for the Huskies is going to be if John Ross and Jake Browning can take the top off of that Alabama defense so that Miles Gaskin and Lavon Coleman can find room to run.  Defensively it's going to be about containing Jalen Hurts and forcing him to beat them with his arm, rather than his legs.   UW has three "Sunday players" in their backfield.   What will hurt them defensively is a season ending injury to middle linebacker Aziz Victor.  That guy was an edge to edge tank, and he broke his leg against USC.

That's good, because they're playing Colorado.     SC will most likely end up in the Rose Bowl, which will be an injustice to whoever loses tonight.

I wouldn't say I've given them up, but I haven't bought one in a long time because I do stream so much.   I'm actually back to buying records again, because I'm nostalgic and records are cool.  The notion that they have some sort of acoustic superiority is patently ridiculous, though.  There is nothing that provides the fidelity that modern digital does.

I just like album cover art. 

Look at the bright side.  The 49ers ownership has screwed it up so bad they won't have much choice other than to go hire a top name head coach (I know Mike Holmgren wants the job) and then turn the whole thing over to them.  No one would take that gig under any other circumstances, except guys that enjoy the qualifier "interim" next to their "head coach" title.

"You pay me, then shut up and disapear until the off-season." 

No doubt!  Fortunately, I have hungry children that would eat a bowl of stuffing all on their own.

My family cooks like they are feeding the Russian army, so there is never a shortage of leftovers to go around.   If you're over for a visit and I get drunk and puke on your shoes, that's just Tuesday.  If you're over for a visit and you go home hungry, that's shameful. 

Happy to help!

Here's some more.   Before you record, spend a little to get your guitars set up.  New strings, frets dressed, truss adjusted, etc...  Just like you want to play the songs you play the best, you want them to sound as good as possible.

Yeah!  The defense finally showed up (in the person of Kam Chancellor) and they found some semblance of a run game.  That was an awesome football game.  So that makes me happy.

What makes me sad is USC absolutely going to school on my Huskies.  The Trojans made a QB change about five weeks ago to start true freshman Sam Darnold.  That kid cut the Dawgs secondary to ribbons, and UW couldnt adjust, and had no answer to it.   And since the odds of the committee putting a one loss Pac-12 team in the final four swiftly approach 0, even with Michigan and Clemson getting beat, I'm holding hope for the Rose Bowl.

And as yet another example of East Coast media bias and desperate attempts to pump up the ACC, Clemson, which has been scraping by all season long, finally got exposed and got beat by an un-ranked Penn team.  They fall two places.  They Huskies got beat by a resurgent perennial power house and #24 ranked USC team.

Clemson falls two spots.  UW falls 3.  Louisville, who plays no-one and beat a "powerhouse" Wake Forrest team, sits at #3.

And remember that #4 ranked Texas A&M team?  They lost to an unranked team for the second week in a row.

Anyway... Committees suck, and we need an eight team playoff.
