  1. Supposedly, the kits are moving back to Adidas. I guess with the huge hole that Germany going to Nike left, they are going to pay up. I don't mind it. Nike kits were never that exciting. Let's bring back Carlsberg and the old crest.
  2. I mean, I guess. I think anyone taking over is going to be in for a let down. Players are going to be sold or want to move on. New manager will want players who fit his scheme.
  3. Add to that, the bulk of the most viewed teams in the US are in the Eastern Time Zone. Bama, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Georgia, Tennessee, Notre Dame, and Florida State. https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/college-football-programs-nielsen-ratings
  4. Pretty sure they have a couple of seasons of top rated games at Big Noon that disagree with you.
  5. Just Feet. Because Liefeld was always made fun of for his inability to draw feet. Also, check the giant Ant Man helmet complete with skull inside being used as a base. When Deadpool and Logan are fighting, the wreckage behind them looks like the 20th Century Fox logo. I feel like this is going to be more about shitting on the Fox X-Men universe than the MCU. Though I'm thinking the Ant Man head might be making fun of the Quantummania movie.
  6. You could set that story in Southlake or Allen and it wouldn't shock me in the least.
  7. This free use IP stuff for ABC/Disney content is getting really wild.
  8. Well, yes and no. 2:30 is no longer the CBS game of the week but the 2:30 window is open for ABC to use for an SEC game but it won't be the "game of the week". ESPN will still have the nighttime game. 7pm on ABC will be an SEC, ACC, or Big 12 game that's prominent. You can imagine which conference will get the bulk of that. Texas OU will never be that though. This is from article back in November: SEC’s Greg Sankey: Mid-afternoon broadcast TV game will continue after move to ABC/ESPN in 2024 Updated: Nov. 30, 2023, 5:34 p.m.| Creg Stephenson | cstephenson@al.com SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Thursday that the weekly college football broadcast schedule will look very much the same as it does now after the move to ABC/ESPN next year. There will be an SEC game at 2:30 p.m. Central/3:30 p.m. Eastern each Saturday on ABC, just as there has been on CBS since 1996. There will also be SEC games at 11 a.m. Central/noon Eastern on ABC and/or ESPN and the SEC Network as well as multiple primetime games on the various networks. What will change beginning next year is that the mid-afternoon game will not necessarily be the No. 1 game of the week. That marquee matchup could shift to primetime, Sankey said. “The broadcast windows become all day from an ABC standpoint,” Sankey said when speaking to reporters in Atlanta to preview Saturday’s SEC championship game between Alabama and Georgia. “Now, obviously there are other conferences with those affiliations. We have our ESPN or ESPN2, ESPNU and SEC Network commitments. But one of the opportunities that’s created with our new agreement is the ability to have more than only one game a day on broadcast TV. “… We are accustomed through our CBS relationship that the best game of that particular day was often selected by CBS to go into that 3:30 window. … [Starting in 2024], we don’t have those same limits. So the best game of the day might be in primetime with great frequency. We will always have a 3:30 p.m. Eastern time SEC game broadcast on ABC, but a little bit more variability.” Another thing the move to ESPN/ABC will allow the SEC to do is schedule kickoff times and broadcast assignments further out, Sankey said. In recent years, the league has announced kickoff times and television information for the first three weeks of the season and other select games during the summer, with the remainder announced on a week-to-week basis. That will change with the SEC having only one broadcast partner to satisfy rather than two. Sankey said he is hopeful that up to half of the SEC’s kickoff times and television information will be announced by the time SEC Media Days takes place in July. “Our staff is already working on what that broadcast schedule might look like,” Sankey said. “… The opportunity to know the noon Eastern time kickoffs throughout the season will allow our campuses and our fans to plan, rather than having those six-day and 12-day experiences around that early kickoff. We’ll have some flexibility between the midday and the primetime games and some scheduling, which is a bit of an hour differential rather than just waiting and wondering about the entire broadcast day.”
  9. Pretty sure CDC said Fair Park and Dallas PD want the game to remain at 11am for crowd control.
  10. VAR checking that is a joke. Use your f'ing brain
  11. Nice shot by Grav. Now hold the f'ing lead. And as mediocre as Harvey has been, that was a nice intercept.
  12. Fox isn't beholden to the SEC on anything for scheduling. It was always going to be a Big Noon game. That's Fox's prime time spot now. That's where they're getting the most eyeballs every week. Now when Michigan eventually comes to Austin, that will be a night game on ABC/ESPN.
  13. Terrapin Taproom? Decent beers there if you have time.
