    Is Gambling the Only Reason People Can Enjoy Sports?

    in Our Beloved Ducks

    Posted · Edited by Annie

    I never bet actual money on a game, and really the only time I "bet" was on a now-gone sports message board where we were "given" $5,000 to bet and winner, of course, was the one who had the most money at the end of the season (college football in this case).

     

    I was the top winner two years in a row (even though I had to concentrate on how to word the bet so that it was what I was trying to bet), mostly because 1) I didn't bet much money and 2) luck. An example of luck was to bet on UConn beating the 44-point spread in a game against Alabama, and UConn losing by only 43 points. 🙂

    An Update on the Playoff Format Debate

    Note, the B1G has indicated it will consider a 5-11 model, the highest ranked 5 conference champions and 11 at-large teams, with the field seeded following the PO Committee rankings, IF the SEC agrees to play 9 conference games.

     

     

    That's a big IF!

    It Was a Loooooong Trip for The Ducks to Get to the NCAA Tournament

    Since their season began in November, the Ducks have crisscrossed the country so frequently that the total distance they’ve traveled this season amounts to 26,700 miles. For the record, that’s the equivalent of traveling the entire circumference of planet Earth—and then adding on a few thousand miles for good measure.

     

    ...Oregon was forced to spend several days away from campus due to Big Ten bylaws that require at least two days between games (other conferences don’t have this rule). When the Ducks made their first cross-country trip to play Ohio State and Penn State in January, the team spent six days and five nights on the road.

     

    Yikes!

    Annie,

    If you've ever entered Facebook through Chrome, then your password might be saved there. Go in to Systems, then Password Manager and then scroll to find Facebook. If it's there, voila, you will find your password. 

    Perhaps other browsers have a similar feature. Good luck

    I don't remember ever using Chrome, but I'll give it a try.

    On Twitter (AKA X), which I can access, though I now have to log in every time (as I now have to do here too), after each time I visit I get an email that there was a post from another device. All I can figure is that it is a newer computer, not the one on which I originally signed up for twitter.

     

    While I have cell phone, I don't use it to access these sites, because I prefer the bigger screen and larger keyboard of my desktop computer.

    Facebook only allows a few tries to reset password per day. Then you have to wait 24 hours. 
     

    If you have another device with a different operating system, you can try logging in from it. 

    I've tried from another device, but same problem. Facebook is notoriously uncommunicative. No phone number, no chat, no nothing except a suggestion to do a search for the problem! And that leads to people who use FB trying (usually without success) to figure out how to solve it.

    I'm not on Facebook, but this situation is very similar to what I've experienced with other Password situations. The first thing I did was look for an actual phone number, though often one doesn't exist, that connects me with the site. If there is no phone number, on the Sign Up page, you might get started toward getting back in by hitting "Forgot Password"

    Unfortunately, there's no phone number, and when I try the "forgot password" it sends me a number code to use to get a new one, then when I put it in, it tells me the number is wrong. 😢

    (I'll understand if this thread is deleted.)

     

    So, I had to clear my caches and cookies to solve an email problem. But in doing so I couldn't get into many sites, including this one. I'm obviously on this on now, but I have to login anew most times.

     

    The problem is Facebook will not let me back on there. I try to get a new password, but each time they send me code number to set up a new password, and every time I try to use it and they say the code number is wrong.

     

    So I've kind of given up. I really want to get on to my Facebook page and not have to set up a new one.

     

    Any suggestions? Thanks.
