  1. Which would result in a pay cut
  2. They definitely aren’t getting kicked out. But I bet they take a pay cut.
  3. This is why it could happen. If TV wants 60-70 schools in the top division for inventory’s sake, they may push them into the Big 12. If the SEC and Big 10 are cool on FSU and Clemson, they know the Big 12 would be ecstatic. They can pay them (FSU/Clem) less in the Big 12 than the SEC, but if it’s better than the ACC, it will make sense for FSU and Clemson too. It would raise the profile of the third conference which would probably generate more overall interest than shoving all the brands into too tight of a proximity (which causes current brands to lose more games and generate less interest in them). Its very possible that they view the SEC and Big 10 as “full” in terms of high end football.
  4. I always have Whataburger ketchup handy. The spicy version that is.
  5. My favorite argument they make for Ferentz is “he puts so many guys in the NFL”. All that NFL talent and he has one Big 10 co-championship in a year they didn’t play the other co-champ (Ohio State) and one NY6 bowl win to show for it. Matt Campbell has done those exact same things at ISU and he had to beat OU and UT to do it. I do think Ferentz is a very good coach, but he’s not great.
  6. I’m absolutely sitting out on my porch with a beer and weed pen listening to “Scooter Blues” on repeat after the kid goes to bed.
  7. Don’t tell Iowa fans. They think they’re a crucial component of the Big 10’s value, and have no awareness that if we had hooked up with Ohio State and Michigan, and they had hooked up with Nebraska and Oklahoma, they would have spent the last 15 years in existential dread while we suckled at the teat of content benefactors.
  8. Leftover dogs, kraut, raw onion, pepperoncini, dijon, mustard based relish, Whataburger ketchup, Tillamook cheddar hinge, shitty low carb wrap. Deductions for permanent plating.
  9. Why is anyone still operating under the delusion that who you play sports against says anything about your school? It's probably one of the dumbest parts of the conference model.
  10. 1.0 would mean you literally had straight alcohol pumping through your veins, correct?
  11. The lesser schools in the Big 10 hate Michigan and Ohio State and have been free riding for years. Michigan and Ohio State just don't care, and never have.
  12. And if we're being really truly honest, a lot of people can safely operate equipment at .1 BAC. But holy shit, to actually say that in his position? This is a man who has repeatedly demonstrated that he gives absolutely 0 fucks what his employer thinks about anything because he knows he's untouchable. This is the definition of "beyond reproach".
  13. A whole bunch of that is skewed by one small town in north central Iowa that's put like 6 guys into the NFL. A town of like 1500.
  14. There are people who don't inspect prior to flushing?
  15. I'm pretty sure we still have the other school flags at Jack Trice, but I wasn't really paying attention the last time I was there.
  16. They don't officially join the Big 12 until August 1.
  17. I don’t think the Big 10 and SEC jettison their leeches. They just make them take a big pay cut.
  18. The latter. Not like it hasn’t been going on for years
  19. I don't think the SEC wants to expand more either, but I think that they have always felt somewhat compelled to match the Big 10. If the SEC doesn't expand, I think your situation makes sense. You would have an ACC that's clearly behind the Big 12, clearly ahead of the G5, and just creates essentially another tier in college sports.
  20. Get used to that.
  21. Josh Pate keeps hinting at ACC destruction this month. Have to imagine this goes down much like the PAC. It'll be curious to see how ND and the SEC are playing their cards here. I feel like the Big 10 has more of an internal need to grow than the SEC does, but they also always seem to feel compelled to respond. FSU has always felt more SEC to me, but the SEC has plenty of the Florida market eyeballs already.
  22. That looks like it fucks
  23. I’ve been a Petty fan for as long as I’ve known what music was, and yesterday was the first time I’d ever heard Ways To Be Wicked. Holy shit. Absolute top tier Petty. The fact that a song that good just sorta got buried is a testament to his brilliance.
