Digital license plates?


Expansive, but attractive nonetheless, especially if you have an upscale car. I can see a car company like Tesla including them as an option, built-into the car. That way, the plate would be part of the design, and not literally screwed on after. It would also be one less source of potential rust corrosion. I have seen cars where, especially in the front, the design of the car was such that no thought at all was made into how to put a plate on the car.

Now that one company is doing it, I can see other companies doing the same, doing it better, and doing it cheaper. It basically is just an e-ink display, made weather-resistant.

*** 2022-2023 College Football Survivor Week 9 ***

We finally had some carnage as over half the people get knocked off. 47 out and we are now down down to 45. @DarkStar takes over the tiebreaker lead.

Rules/How to Play if you are new:
  1. Pick a team you think will win that weeks game. Pick only 1 team per week.
  2. Don't pm me the pick, post on here your pick.
  3. You can only pick that team ONCE the entire time you are in the game.
  4. The goal is to advance and be the last person standing.
  5. Only games that have a FBS school facing another FBS school are eligible to be picked.
  6. You have up until the start time of the game you picked to switch.
  7. If your team loses, you are out for the competition.
  8. If you skip a week of picks, you are out.
  9. You can switch as many times up until the game you have picked officially starts.
  10. If you have questions, pm me
  11. Post 2 of the thread will have the possible games you can pick.
  12. Post 3 will have each player and their previous week's picks.
  13. You can only pick teams that are undefeated (they will be bolded).
  14. You can't join in during the middle of the season.
    Please include prior weeks picks with your pick for the week.
  15. If an undefeated favorite wins and covers the spread you gain a tiebreaker point. If an undefeated underdog wins you gain 2 tiebreaker points.
  16. There is no tiebreaker point due to a undefeated team winning on the road as that is a tiebreaker in the big 12 elimination game.
  17. Have any questions, pm me or ask in the thread. Thanks!

Close losses

You have probably heard ISU is 1-8 in our last 9 games decided by 7 points or less. And of course, we've lost 4 in a row. I did a quick search to see if any other P5 teams have as many close losses this season as we do:

Iowa State 4
Mizzou 3
Nebby 3
Iowa and many others 2

I found it interesting that us and our neighbors have struggled so much in close games. I don't think that's a coincidence. There is some similarity in style of play, but I think there is a refusal to quit as well. Midwestern stubbornness.

I'm pretty sure the list would pretty much look the same if you went back to the beginning of last season.
