  1. I agree it’s not a perfect 1to1 (obviously having Oregon/USC/Washington play OSU/Mich/Pedo is going to generate some more losses) but it’s still valid data and illustrates how perception doesn’t necessarily align with past results.
  2. Lots of Big Ten bashing on here but…
  3. That juice is not worth the squeeze.
  4. Boise, BYU, K State?
  5. Meh, our baseball team should improve but it’s embarrassing. No reason to pretend otherwise.
  6. Just got home, had to listen to this in the car. Hell of a game. Fuck OU
  7. Should at least call it 44 22 13
  8. Too soon man…too soon.
  9. 5-11 doesn’t allow for them to sell play-in games. The Big 12 thinks being codified as a lesser conference than the B1G/SEC is worse than only getting a single bid to the playoff each year. I don’t particularly care either way but find this whole scenario fascinating.
  10. Twitter profile says it’s not affiliated with CBS and it says he is a TCU fan. Looks fake.
  11. Heard him talking about it previously but this seems abrupt…
  12. Sam…Steve… … . … . … . … . . . .
  13. Yep I don’t think it’s really realignment related more…realignment adjacent. Tennessee won’t be kicked out of the SEC because ultimately they are in the right here. This genie is not going back in the bottle. Tennessee was on probation multiple times and Alabama (who did the same under the table shit) never was. They do NOT want to go back to that system which was obviously stacked against them and I don’t blame them one iota.
  14. Name which school they should have been take over? Utah, BYU, TCU, Houston, SMU, Louisville, Cincinnati? These schools all have 50+ years of HISTORY in big time intercollegiate athletics. It’s not academics. Boise is still behind Memphis and Tulane in this category. It’s a club, and these long time schools have been in and/or closely around the major players in this space for decades. They can jump the queue if they are head and shoulders above the competition (like Rice) but ultimately this is a risk adverse group of decision makers who will fall back on what feels safe and sounds familiar. The only ‘recent’ call ups were USF and UCF. USF was called up and then left behind while UCF is yet to justify their inclusion. This was Boise State’s competition not Utah or TCU.
  15. Texags going to be fun to lurk on tonight.
  16. #1 at what again? https://www.espn.com/college-softball/boxscore/_/gameId/401772527
  17. If we go another round of realignment and the ACC gets gobbled up: SEC: FSU, Clemson, UNC, Duke B1G: ND, Miami, GT, UVA B12: Pitt, Louisville, NCSU, VT There is no way Stanford and Cal will hang out with the remainders: Syracuse, Boston College, Wake Forest, SMU And there is no way in hell they’d be able to go independent. They aren’t Notre Dame and wouldn’t have a TV deal nor access to the CFP/major bowls. So their options will be Big 12 or PAC12 or reform an ACC with UConn fb, Memphis, USF, Temple, Rice and…? If they don’t kiss and make up with the Big 12 the PAC12 is their most likely landing spot.
  18. I doubt it. The PAC12’s ultimate goal would be to get Cal and/or Stanford back eventually. There is no way either of those two would ever deign to share a conference with Sac State nor San Jose State. The PAC adding Fresno State is already a hurdle for tree and Berkeley that isn’t helping (both had already accepted that they’d be slumming it with SDSU prior to joining the ACC for their media market).
  19. https://www.betarizona.com/college-football/pac-12-expansion Pac 12 Expansion Candidates: Odds For Next College To Join Conference College Odds Texas State +110 Tulane +225 Memphis +800 UNLV +900 North Texas +1400 UTSA +1600 Sacramento State +2750 The Field +1000 Texas State looks to be the obvious choice here, but still interesting that Tulane is a close #2.
  20. They want more rules so that Texas will abide by those rules like we did previously. Once those limits are in place, Bama and UGA will just spin up the bag game again. Fuck’em
  21. Would have been 12 had 007 kept it in his pants.
  22. No. Go to 9. Don’t be a pussy. This home schedule would be great for those of us who go to games. 26: Ohio St, TX St, UTSA, pig, LSU, SC, Vandy 27: Michigan, NMSU, UTEP, aggy, Bama, OleMiss, Miz 28: LA Tech, UTSA, pig, UGA, TN, UK 29: Notre Dame, ULM, UTEP, aggy, UF, Aub, Miss St
  23. $80 million is probably about right. $50 million is way low. Live sport TV rights still have not plateaued so I’d still take the over. If ESPN truly doesn’t value most OOC games (which is debatable) then $811 million divided by the 8 current conference games would be roughly $101 million. The SEC is under contract so this is still being negotiated without any outside bidders. I assume the price will not be a straight proportional increase since ESPN has most of the control. Would be curious to see the aggregated financials when half the conference loses an annual home game and likely they can pencil in a team or two being removed from bowl eligibility as well. Not to mention the potential cost of not making the CFP cut line by adding that extra loss. Are those negatives offset by the increase with their TV rights?
  24. Doctor says it’s working well enough. Can never be too safe.
  25. Like clockwork…
