Go Texas! (Ugh, it's still sickening to say that for me... but yes... Go Big 12!)

Oh, just figured I'd take this time to complain again. First off, USC did not win the last 2 national championships. And Will Ferrell, this most definately IS NOT the third national championship game in a row they've played in.

Lets go do a quick history lesson... back to 2003 with us:

Nokia Sugar Bowl and National Championship game: OU vs. LSU. Winner, LSU. National Champions, LSU.

Why? It's very simple, lets recap...

National Champions:

NOT National Champions:

Winner has the trophy, simple as that. Hey, I've got an idea, I'm gonna make up my own poll. Hey look guys, OU didn't win the national championship game, nor did they even play in it, but my poll says they are number one so that means the University of Oklahoma is the 2005 National Champions! Yay!

Where did the notion that they won 2 in a row come from anyway then?

They got rated #1 in the polls at the end of the season and they believed that they were better than the two teams who played in the National Championship game. Sorry to say, it doesn't work like that. In the NFL, if one team makes a mistake or has an injury, but is really actually the best team in the league, they aren't the NFL Champions at the end of the season unless they won the Super Bowl.

-------

Anyway, off we go, game is underway, Texas wins the toss and defers, USC will start the game off.

---

Nothing at all for USC, punting it away... fumble, USC recovers. That was quite a hit by USC.

Texas stopped on 4th down, turnover on downs. I don't know that that was such a smart idea so early in the game, but at the same time there is a long time to go. We'll see. USC is looking strong so far though.

There should have been a late hit on USC (some guy came flying in after the whistles were blown... If a USC guy was the one that got hit, they would have called it immediately.

Haha, I didn't see it but I don't doubt that.

Edit: Decided to change my avatar :p

USC decided to go for it on 4th this time, looks like they didn't get it either.

Nope, didn't get it, turnover on downs. This is going to be one hell of a battle!

UGH! Yeah, fumbled again, luckily they got it back though. There is no way UT is gonna win playing like this. They need to get it together. I think they will settle down in the second half though.

Hell of an effort to not get sacked there, too bad they lost yards still.

OH WOW, THAT WAS SMART, OH MAN YOU'RE A GENIOUS. HAHAHAHAAHA

Bush gets a HUGE gain, and no, that's not enough, then he tries to lateral it and get even more yardage and fumbles it. Moron.

Wow, this is a SLOPPY game so far. Hopefully both teams will be calmed down and come out to play a little better in the second half.

--------

Field Goal Texas, 7-3 USC now.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
