  1. A priest told me once that we don’t pray because God intercedes and gives you what ask for, but rather we pray to help focus ourselves on what’s important to us, in order to help us be better examples of Christ’s love. And I think way more people need to get that message on Sundays.
  2. Maybe he was miserable because huffed nuts his entire tenure there.
  3. I very much enjoyed watching them beat Iowa and KSU
  4. Unless your school is playing them
  5. This would be true had you guys not left the Big 12 as well. TV wanted the power programs more concentrated and that wouldn’t have changed with a Pac 16.
  6. It would have failed, for many of the same reasons the Pac 12 failed Thats an insane cultural disparity, and all the shit you guys talk on Big 12 schools applies more so to the Pac schools. Far away places that don’t care anywhere near as much about football. The SEC is the only place it ever made sense for UT and OU to go outside of the Big 12.
  7. Still can’t beat Cal and Stanford in the ACC
  8. This song is older than Purgatory. One of his many fan favorites that never made it past a terribly recorded YouTube clip
  9. While I completely agree with your general premise, I had a buddy who lived in SoCal for 5 years and somewhere after year 3 got sick and tired of the weather never fucking changing.
  10. This seems like a far more logical way of operating. The Big 10 is always going on about their academic consortium, like they can only collaborate with schools that are part of their athletic conference, academically.
  11. Seems to me the goal of the Pac was to become the best non-power league and the path to do that was by getting the serious MWC schools on board. Now they’re the only conference besides the MAC to exist solely on the same side of the Mississippi, and have the largest G6 (we have to call it that, right?) fanbases in one spot. I think this is a league that understands their position really well and has put together a compelling product that I’ll be tuning into. Most of the time, the G6 rep will come out of here, I suspect. In hoops, they will be extremely salty and there will be a debate as to whether they’re a high or mid major.
  12. Not for some schools. I think it’s utterly moronic to think who you play sports with says anything about your academics, but that’s 100% how Stanford and Cal think, as well as large swaths of the Big 10.
  13. Fuckin’ love Rocco. Dude’s got the winning gene where he just finds ways to make big plays in the crunch. Downside is he’s a little bit of a gunslinger and when he throws picks (which isn’t often) they almost always end up being pick 6s. He’s a very effective runner, although it’s not a cornerstone of his game. As a human being, he seems like a great guy. His teammates love him, and after a town in Iowa had a school shooting in the spring of ‘24, he put on a free camp for the kids there. He’s gonna be 3rd or 4th round guy, and likely have a long career as a backup and elite locker room guy. Then again, there’s a lot of Purdy in his game and maybe he’ll go beyond that.
  14. It’s delusional, but who really cares? There are teams in that league who can beat teams in every other league in this graphic.
