  1. Obviously if they were winning championships it probably wouldn't matter, but El Paso is the 91st ranked media market (behind places like Champaign, Shreveport, Charleston, etc.) and not close to any others that El Paso would probably draw from. No one in Houston/Dallas/San Antonio probably watch them, even when they are good. They would be outside of the conference maps for both the Sun Belt and the MWC, especially the Sun Belt: They're not that far from UNM, but the MWC already left UTEP behind once (along with SMU, TCU, etc.), so I doubt they would want them back.
  2. Bama gets the night game against their cupcake opener while the team that beat them last year (and higher ranked pre-season) gets to pan sear in the August afternoon sun? Help it make sense.. They weren't going to put the Texas game on ESPN up against the A&M-Notre Dame game on ABC because they think those games will likely have a lot of overlap in viewership. They gave Texas the "better" TV time slot for viewership, but it is obviously not better for people going to the game in person.
  3. It's weird that they seem to be doing three home-home rivalries in men's bball and just one non-rival in women's bball. Is the women's season generally shorter than the men's?
  4. College Station Week 1 - Notre Dame on ESPN/ABC is too big a draw.
  5. The problem is their location. They left the WAC for CUSA before it collapsed (or left Division 1) and their location is just not good enough to get an invite anywhere else (and their athletics aren't good enough to make up for that).
  6. I wonder if rivalries will eventually match permanent opponents in football or if that will be separate. Texas - Arkansas, OU, A&M A&M - LSU, OU, Texas OU - Texas, A&M, Mizzou Mizzou - Arkansas, OU, Vandy LSU - Arkansas, A&M, Ole Miss Arkansas - Texas, Mizzou, LSU Ole Miss - LSU, Miss State, Auburn Miss State - Ole Miss, Bama, South Carolina Bama - Auburn, Miss State, Kentucky Auburn - Bama, Ole Miss, UGA Kentucky - Bama, Tennessee, Vanderbilt Vanderbilt - Tennessee, Kentucky, Mizzou Tennessee - Kentucky, Florida, Vanderbilt USC - UGA, Auburn, Florida UGA - Auburn, Florida, USC Florida - UGA, USC, Tennessee
  7. SEC announced home/away bball games (no dates yet): https://www.secsports.com/news/2024/05/2024-25-sec-mens-basketball-conference-opponents-announced We play Arkansas, A&M, and OU home and home and the rest are either home or away. Barnes comes to Texas, we go to Beard.
  8. Not a great trajectory from a program standpoint: Kentucky to Texas to Cal to Long Beach State.
  9. Crazy that Mitchell didn’t get drafted with so many WRs going.
  10. Virginia is going to allow schools to pay NIL directly.
  11. It would have to be collectively bargained between the schools and the players.
  12. In 2008 we finished 3rd-4th and in 2009 we made the championship game. In 2023 we finished 3rd-4th and in 2024 we will make the championship game. I'm in. Hopefully Ewers stays healthy.
  13. Lol congrats I guess…
  14. It may not be the likeliest scenario, but blood alcohol concentration can continue to rise for a couple of hours after the last drink was consumed depending on a variety of factors.
  15. You are correct. Texas should get 73 points and Stanford should get 64 points.
