Yeah John that’s what i would do . Even if it is ok I wouldn't want to look at it .
I think it's cool!!
You would never see it. Because you'd be distracted by something else in the tank. Spot the sea squirt!

I'd leave it personally...
Yep, I did a little research after your reply. Didn't realize a sea squirt was a tunicate! That was a thought I had, but I've never seen one in person. I appreciate the answer Tim. It's staying.

Calling me names won't help with anything Tim. :)

Do I kill it and grill it, or let it go? Ive heard of these, but my knowledge is limited.
I'd leave it but that's me.

No ones mad about Miami. Mad about Alabama putting up a Stinker with -3 rushing yards and not moving an inch and the college football playoff committee all coming from SEC backgrounds....

Coincidence I Think Not GIF


I also went to Villanova, not even from Notre Dame but my brother went there and Notre Dame was my 2nd option and I liked the school still.
I think Alabama gets favored a lot by the powers that be. With that being said, the competition and talent in the SEC is second to no other conference, and they all have to play each other. You have to take that into consideration when picking the field.

Yeah but, they lost a conference championship game while Notre Dame sat home. You can't punish a team for losing a conference championship. You can punish a team that won't join a conference. Easy math.
I agree that the conference championship game complicates things a lot.

They moved them to 9 just in case they lost in that fashion despite barely beating a bad Auburn team. I agree that they should not count it as a full loss but I would say if it was any what competitive then no change would have been warranted. That being said saying Championship games should have no negative when they can provide a benefit is silly in my opinion. Also Conferences just want ND money. ND is one of the few schools that uses most of the funds they generate from sports to better the campus & education. ESPN just has too much money on the line not to rig it for SEC schools though even though Indiana or Ohio state are going to win easily in my opinion.

The reign of the SEC is over with NIL.


The players are still going to go to sec schools. NIL money may make it worse for other conferences because SEC schools have money too. Lots of it. Look how much money LSU spent to steal our coach!

Ole Miss's starting quarterback and top 2 or 3 ranked running back in the nation, we're both NIL transfers to Ole Miss.

With that being said Ohio or Indiana can 100% win it all. Ohio can win it every year because they have the same type of legacy program that the SEC has many of.
