  1. Well, just wait until #KissMe-I´mIrish, (St. Patrick´s Day) is canceled... The (unofficial) #MarchOfSadness will (now) be televised, on ESPN.?!
  2. Last night, I found a network on my streaming funtion on tv (of multiple channels), of players playing online games, [so, that´s a thing now].?!
  3. If Paul Hogan is the official spoksman, I would imagine that as a yes... This could be the official commercial, (Thatś not a bidet, that is a bidet).!!
  4. As long as we have access to unlimited ammo (toilet paper, in the stadium) things are gonna be just fine..!
  5. Crouch was the last of a dying breed, (players that win at Nebraska)...
  6. I wonder, will schools offer a refund, if a portion of the upcoming football season is cancelled..?
  7. A PXC south division of: Texas Texas Tech TCU Oklahoma Oklahoma State Arizona Arizona State USC UCLA That would feel a lot like the ol' XII south days..! On the other hand, Washington/ Oregon/ Utah & Iowa State would carry the north... Yep, that would feel a lot like the ol' XII north days..!
  8. The smart kids are revolting against safety.!?
  9. I´d want to keep Kansas, but would be willing to add California...
  10. Colorado has been in the same conference as both Oklahoma & Texas, since 1947 & 1996, until 2010, respectively... Colorado is a bridge between both leagues, one of the more infuencial donors of Buffs, was president of Oklahoma... The 4 biggest in conference games for CU (usually) in XII: Nebraska/ Oklahoma/ Texas (football) & Kansas (hoops)... West Virginia joined XII as more of need to keep a media contract viable, most of the old rivals are now in ACC (Pitt)... West Virginia would be the 8th former BigEast school in ACC, with closer travel & older rivals, school would go east... The biggest rivals of West Virginia from BigEast: Pitt (football-basketball)/ Virginia Tech/ Miami/ Syracuse (football)... Baylor has been with XII since formation in 1996, & a founding member in 1915, so history is on the side of the Bears... There yet & still, is the case of 2010, (& possibly 2011), where Baylor was set to be left behind by Texas & Oklahoma... I say the biggest argument in this case, may be between Baylor & Utah, both are AAU, tho 1 is a state flagship school...
  11. Here's a pretty simple 8 & 8, that does most of what you inquire: Pac8: Washington Oregon USC UCLA Arizona Arizona State Utah Colorado Big8: Iowa State Kansas Kansas State Oklahoma Oklahoma State Texas Texas Tech TCU In that instance, California would be the biggest name left out, but note, GoRs for both leagues end within 1 year of one another... So that issue may be moot...
  12. In a future of cord-cutting, maybe the idea should be which programs are best for market penitration of streaming apps as well..? It would seem common sense to 1st move, take all the large state flagship programs (9 in total covering from Cascades to Gulf)... *Washington/ *Oregon/ *California/ *Arizona/ *Utah/ *Colorado/ *Kansas/ Oklahoma/ *Texas, (AAU schools), that´s 97m. folks... The most logical move after that..? Add state schools with best metrics to ¨make the deal happen¨ as in a state/ tech or private... USC & UCLA (obviously), would be at the top of any list, then add Texas Tech, & Oklahoma State, that is 13 members, of 16 slots... The logical adds at this point would be the two state schools with the largest in stadium attendance: Iowa State & Arizona State... That is 1 spot for the other 3 private schools: Stanford/ TCU/ Baylor, or 3 state schools of Washington St/ Oregon St/ Kansas St... Granted, expecting West Virginia to ACC, Disney could move 2 brands to SEC (or Stanford, could go the way of Rice, after SWC)... One thing is sure, it seems need finally caught up with desire to keep pace with SEC projections for 2023, (just as Disney wanted)... But more or less, there´ś already blueprint of how to get 9 votes to end complaint in PAC/ 8 votes to stop bickering in XII by 2025...
  13. So, thats how SEC gets the best players to some of the non blueblood programs (takes notes in little book)...
  14. When you know your team is a lock, you go #Footloose.?!
  15. The easist way for Disney (ESPN) to gain all rights to the best brands in both XII & PAC (under 1 conference banner) by 2025..? It takes 9 schools to dissolve PAC as a league (GoR´s expire in 2024), likewise it takes 8 XII teams to have a landing spot also... History already has shown in past, USC & Texas, leaving members behind to form or join new membership, as in 1959 & 1995... *Washington/ *Oregon/ *California/ *USC/ *UCLA/ *Arizona/ Arizona State/ *Utah/ *Colorado, are the needed 9 votes to disband... *(AAU brands) *Iowa State/ *Kansas/ Oklahoma/ Oklahoma State/ *Texas/ Texas Tech/ TCU, total 7 votes (WVU to ACC gives 8), for no legal issues... (AAU brands) Now, could Baylor (or more logically, Stanford) remain in the group of 16 brands that host athletic events for a PXC (or B16), & 2 others are left out, yes... But most posters seem to have a favoring of Baylor as a brand left out, could Baylor find an invite to SEC (along with 1 other brand), possible, not likely... Anyhow, this shows a ¨rough blueprint¨ of what Disney may look to seek in having Texas/ Oklahoma/ Kansas/ USC/ Oregon /Wahington, in one league... The same has already been done with ESPN partner league ACC, in raiding BigEast of best brands, back in the early 2000/ early 2010 era, & form ACCN... So we shall see how this all shakes out, but Disney could place PAC brands within XII & keep both league best brands, or parse XII into SEC, interesting...
  16. Oklahoma & Texas, already earn $48m./ $53m. (respectively) vs $51m. for B1G (as of now) w/o expansion..? And adding Washington/Oregon/California/USC/UCLA/Arizona/Arizona State/Utah, and the *66m. residents... Adding up Iowa State/Kansas/*Colorado/Oklahoma/Oklahoma State/Texas/Texas Tech/TCU, and 39m. folks... That is 8 team divisions that Disney can place into a single league net, or give indy a contract to OU & USC... It should place Oklahoma in the same ballpark as Alabama in 2023, of earning $65m. for all rights by ESPN... Not counting, as you´ve mentioned Disney may place ACCN/ SECN (PXCN) alongside each on ESPN+ too... If so, schools could gain a larger share of profits cord-cutting trends as expected to lose 20m. subs by 2025...
  17. Don´t worry New Mexico, we will all travel to pick up hatch chili (for our sick residents to have with meals)..?
  18. (In my opinion) a move to SEC has the makings of a power 16 that will always have (somone) in a CFP title game... But also, the map shows how new PXC league holds well vs an ACC with recent CFP titles/ B1G-last/ SEC-in front:B1G- 388PXC- 473ACC- 487SEC- 710(NFL players by league) -
  19. Alabama will always do the same under the watch of Saban (simply reload & hire a few coaching retreads as analyst)...
  20. Well, hopefully if that happens, we at least get the stadium crowd noise (as opposed to the laugh track) for sound effects..?
  21. Actually, a combined XII & PAC league has better numbers (as far as merkets), that bodes well for potential viewership - *50 largest cities in America, by population/ #50 largest cities in America, by media market [per Wikipedia]:ACC _ Atlantic Coast Conference/ B1G _ Big Ten Conference/ SEC _ Southeastern Conference/ PX6 _ "merging" of Pacific 12 Conference (PAC) & Big XII Conference (XII)...*1 New York ACC/B1G & New York (#1) ACC/B1G*2 Los Angeles PX6 & Los Angeles (#2) PX6*3 Chicago ACC/B1G & Chicago (#3) ACC/B1G*4 Houston PX6/SEC & Philadelphia (#4) ACC/B1G*5 Phoenix PX6 & Dallas-Fort Worth (#5) PX6/SEC*6 Philadelphia ACC/B1G & Washington, D.C.

(vs B1G 11 cities/ 16 media)...
  22. PAC schools join XII, as XII schools already earn more than PAC... Oklahoma - $48m. per year/ Texas - $53m. per year... USC/ UCLA - $31m. per year... Those brands join XII (similar to SWC & Big8 merger), then UT & OU would earn into the $60m. per year range (I assume, by increased value)... The theory you have is a bit backwards, as UT/ OU & pals go to a league with lower revenue... It is as smart as some who say Texas will go indy & place all sports in the ACC (over on dirt, by a few ¨outsider¨ pro-B1G posters), UT & OU gain more ay adding to XII, & keep fiefdom in new league...
  23. Umm, note the post the gave the initial post, that claims bathroom bills (or whatnot) have an affect on realignment... From my point of view, that would not be something that makes a great deal of difference in the discussion, (but I am an oddity, I'll admit)..! ___ Pac-12 football lose ASU, USC, Oregon, Washington, UCLA to Big 12? 21 hours ago · He brought up the idea of USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon and Washington joining the Big 12 (which actually only has 10 teams). "The Big 12 is not as poorly run as people outside of Big 12 country think," Staples said on the Andy Staples Show podcast.
  24. Just wash your mouth (like we should wash our hands).?!
  25. Unless itś Fox, or CBS (as Google, or any other tech giant, has yet to enter the fray), I don really see it happening..?
