The Packers are red hot right now, right when they need to be.   I don't see anyone beating them.

Steelers v Pats in the AFC Championship game.  Score will be 137 - 104. 

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.

The Packers look like they're heating up at just the right time.   And perhaps you haven't heard, but  I'll take a gimpy legged Aaron Rodgers over pretty much anyone. 

Since Detroit lost, Seattle is now in the #2 seed spot behind Dallas (clinched the #1 spot), which means if they win out they'll get a bye and a home game.  Which they're gonna need because they've been terrible on the road.

The line on the Peach Bowl seems to be holding steady at -16 for Alabama, which means all the suckers have placed their bets.

I'm a fan of natural wood finishes, but at the end of the day,  appearance is at the bottom of my selection criteria.   Feel and tone, condition if it's used.  If all of that fits, it could be purple and I'd play it.

Telecaster serials ran that way, but everything on the internet, including the guy that designed it,  says that model wasn't produced until 1981.

Nice axe, though!

It was on Fox.  The Huskies won convincingly.   It was good because Jake Browning, the UW QB, had a *terrible* game.  Something like five completions the whole night.  So they just fed their running backs the rock and let the O-Line smash holes all the way to the end zone.  End result was 41 points and something like 65% of the minutes holding the ball.

So its UW v Alabama in the Peach Bowl for the right to play in the national championship game.   UW should expect to be heavy underdogs.  Alabama is huge and fast everywhere so any mistake will cost.

Ohio State is going to wreck Clemson.

Pac-12 Championship game today!   Go Dawgs!

The strength of schedule stuff is all nonsense.    Washington destroyed a #7 ranked Stanford team and got no credit for it.   The SEC outside of Alabama and maybe LSU is as soft as wet toast.   The rankings at this point in the season are purely to prop up the weakest divisions because that's where the TV revenue is.  VA Tech, my favorite whipping boy for this, is a perfect example.   That is a team that got beat by Syracuse and  GA Tech,  got destroyed by Tennessee,  and barely managed to scratch out wins against Duke and Pitt.      Yet they've been bouncing around the top 25, as they do every year, for no reason at all other than to make the ACC look like it's a tougher division than it actually is.   Clemson has been scraping by all year long, winning close ones against bad teams.   They should be right around #10, tops, and the Wisconsin,  Penn State, and Michigan guys should be arguing over who gets in.   See also:  Louisville, with back to back losses against unranked teams (which would drop any west coast team out of the top 25 entirely) still manages to get ranked #13.

The Big 10 is the toughest division in football,  but right now I'd argue USC  is the best team.   They had a terrible start, fired their coach, changed QBs (that kid is amazing) and have been wrecking people ever since.   I'm picking Alabama v OSU in the final game, with Alabama winning it, but I'll be pulling for the Buckeyes.

Well, the Sadhawks went and laid an egg against a pretty good Tampa Bay team.   You could make injury excuses (Earl Thomas and Michael Benett out) but when you drop the football (lookin at you, Jimmy Graham) and run terrible routes (lookin' at you, Paul Richardson) leading to INTs, you're gonna get beat.  The good news is that the Hawks could lose every game on the schedule except for LA and Arizona, and still win the division.

My Dawgs, though...  This was "Rivalry Week" in college football.  Ohio State barely (and I mean "bad spot by refs") beat Michigan.   Alabama stomped all over Auburn.   And the Huskies opened a serious case of whoop-ass on cross state rivals (and #22 ranked) WSU Cougars.   Colorado beat Utah to put them in the Pac-12 championship game against UW.  This sets up a really odd set of circumstances for the morons on "the committee" picking the final four teams to play for the national championship, assuming Washington beats Colorado, which should be ranked in the top 10.

Lets just assume Alabama and Ohio State are gonna be there, no matter what, because they are.

In the Pac-12, Washington would have beaten a #8 or #9 ranked Colorado team.

The Big-10 championship game isn't going to have Ohio State in it.  Because the Buckeye's lost to Penn State, it is going to be Wisconsin (#6) vs Penn State (#7).  This has all the makings of a *great* football game, too, so watch it.

Clemson, which has skated by all season long and got beat at home by an un-ranked U-Penn team is going to play an un-ranked Virginia Tech team in the ACC championship game.

So since Ohio State and Alabama are absolute locks to get into the final four, that leaves two spots open for three actual division champions.  Washington, the Big-10 champ, and Clemson.

Someone is going to be on the outside looking in.  I hope it's Clemson.  The ACC shouldn't even be considered a "Power 5" conference, but since it is owned lock, stock, and barrel by ESPN, they are going to prop it up any way they can.  See Louisville losing back to back against un-ranked teams, and still somehow being ranked #11 in the country as an example.

We live in interesting times! 

My favorite holiday.   I'm on a pretty strict weight loss regimen, though (dropped ~30lbs so far) so I wasn't able to pig out like I usually do.  I did manage to stuff my face with turkey, Brussels sprouts, and salad, though, which is pretty good.

No beer and no bread is killing me though.
