"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

everyone knows I'm from little rock and I am a die hard razorback fan.

I feel like I got rapped after watching the officals in the florida v. arkansas game yesterday.

we had it. we were the better team yesterday and the officals just started making up calls.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Those calls were a bit shady, but Hogs had every chance to put the game away and they couldnt pull the trigger.

In the end the better team won, even though they did play very sloppy.

I think Alabama should b ranked number one in the nation right now. They have the most physical complete football team in NCAA at the moment. They don't excell in any one area but they don't turn over the ball and play overall inconsistantly like the rest of the teams in the top five.

Irrelevant.

It does not matter who is ranked #1 now, Florida or Alabama.

The winner of the SEC championship game will go to the BCS title game.

Simple as that.

Even if Florida loses once before the SEC championship (11-1) and Alabama is undefeated going into the SEC championship (12-0) (or vice-versa) the winner of the SEC championship will go to the BCS title game.

It will be settled on the field.

All other talk is just mental masturbation.

Watching OSU get beat by Purdue was less than motivating.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

It was great. So happy to see that talentless punk Pryor get his ass handed to him by a 1-5 team. Made my day.

I don't understand how we can play so close against them at their home stadium, and 2 of our 3 losses be to Alabama and Florida (both away games), and we're still not even considered top 25. We could easily beat at least half of the teams in the top 25.

The polls clearly focus too much on simple wins vs. losses; crazy given some of the insanely easy schedules some teams get (like Boise).

...I was just commenting on the current ranking, not about how the season was going to end up.

Though I will concede everything you stated there is true. If everything stays the same and the top three teams win out, the only sure fire team to go to the national championship will be Texas because either Florida or Alabama has to knock one or the other off.

Azanon you really anwserd your own question. Arkansas has 3 losses and that's pretty much like having a DUI on your driving record and applying for a limousine drivers spot. It MIGHT happen but it's unlikely. Only 4 teams in the top 25 have 2 losses and the only three loss team in any poll is Oklahoma and they're at number 24 or 25.

Yeah, Pryor is a punk. And OSU is a notoriously overrated football team, despite their achievements in the last 7 years. I think I still carry that flag to help justify the assload of money I spent at that school:crazy:
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

dude we'd pommell at least half of the top 25.

Arkansas played 4 undefeated teams in a row. A and M, Bama, Auburn, Florida. and split them and should have went 3 and 1.

The SEC just suspended that officiating crew for the rest of the season.
yeah those were two really rotten calls. the suspension was well deserved since they pretty much decided the conclutions of the games. as much money as the SEC has you'd think they'd do a better job training their officiating staff.
