  1. snakey is wasting a grand opportunity "our schools that call the shots will force an embargo on fcs games on all of the other league members" "all the rest of you other leagues, what are you going to do for us?" ignore all of the other topics put the easiest one on the table and see what happens
  2. so you're saying if we did the same thing after game 2 or game 3 nothing would have happened..... right?
  3. we're going to find out real fast what the league intends for this series if florida is allowed to put oil's big 3 on their butts then it will be an even series and go 6 or 7 if not, oil in 5, with florida castrated and sacrificed for the canadian title
  4. at the end of game 1 every oilstain on the ice took a star down and pinned them league action? none did we play it the right way and not retaliate? yes but that's what we're up against there are 2 standards
  5. for avoidance of doubt, i assume the 25/26 allocation does not include benn at any number and only 5m of cap when upgrades are required is going to be more changes than "tweaks"
  6. plaintext4darkmode the “heated” situation regarding the SEC I guess we’re going to war,” said one Big 12 athletic director. At the center of this brewing battle is a memorandum of understanding that the 11-member CFP governing board — the 10 FBS conferences and Notre Dame — authorized last spring. The document grants format decision-making powers starting in 2026 to the SEC and Big Ten — a move to keep the two goliaths from separating to form their own playoff. According to most who have viewed the memorandum, the agreement grants the Big Ten and SEC control over the format but directs them to have “meaningful consultation” and collect “input” from the other conferences and TV partner, ESPN. Have they satisfied the agreement’s language to hold “meaningful consultation?” Some do not believe so and have sought legal counsel over the validity of the document. Other things that Dellenger is reporting? The new CFP model is a 5+11 model, which would award 5 auto bids for conference champions and 11 at-large bids, but no one wants this as long as the SEC stays at 8 conference games. The SEC coaches favor the 4-4-2-2-1+3 model (4 auto bids for SEC & Big Ten, 2 auto bids for Big 12 & ACC, 1 bid to the Group of Six and 3 at-large bids). The regulation of NIL by Deloitte sounds like a disaster (or lawsuit) waiting to happen: The officials from the Deloitte-run clearinghouse “NIL Go” — the centerpiece of the new enforcement entity, dubbed the “College Sports Commission” — is sharing data with coaches and athletic directors, including that 70% of past deals from booster collectives would have been denied. Deloitte also shared that about 80% of NIL deals with public companies were valued at less than $10,000 and 99% of those deals were valued at less than $100,000 — figures that suggest the clearinghouse threatens to significantly curtail the millions of dollars that collectives are distributing to athletes. 8w7A0dY.png CBS Sports’ John Talty on the frustration with reform regarding the transfer portal and the Power Four want to force the Big Ten and SEC agree to a 65% of the power on rule-making. Currently, the Power Four conferences are pushing for a weighted vote that would give them 65 percent of the power on rule-making committees. Even that amount, which would give the Power Four conferences significantly more power than they have now, still comes with risk. One high-ranking source said there are concerns that all it takes is one conference not voting with the others — or even ceasing to exist altogether if there’s further realignment and consolidation — to prevent approval for solutions. Sankey said Monday that he’d like to see that weighted vote go up to at leas 68 percent to avoid some of those issues. Multiple Big Ten and SEC sources have expressed extreme frustration to CBS Sports about being unable to push through changes because smaller conferences won’t support it. The transfer portal situation has been especially frustrating that the conferences that would seemingly benefit from not having a spring transfer portal window won’t go for it just because the SEC and others want it. The SEC’s representatives on those committees have made those arguments to no avail, according to sources. When you have conferences that didn’t hesitate to fully fund the $20.5 million cap and others that won’t spend a dollar on revenue sharing voting on the same issues, you can see how it can go awry quickly. The SEC’s success, in particular, has seemed to hurt its ability to make rule changes when smaller conferences question its motives. “It’s really hard to be playing in a championship setting and having to deal with it, but when I brought that up as a complaint or problem it was told to me, ‘There’s no crying from the yacht,'” Smart said. “If you’re going to play in these environments you have to be willing to do that. Now it’s we can’t do that.” Smart believes the implementation committee, which includes two athletic directors from each power conference, will ultimately have say over the transfer portal dinich
  7. gird your loins fifa announce dynamic pricing for next summer https://originalfootball.substack.com/p/the-price-of-passion-fifas-dynamic
  8. we need a goon who will take out mcdavid not in a dirty way, but someone who makes him look over his shoulder
  9. this is personal for you and that's fair
  10. jim nill has done a spectacular job but he is 67 the core of this team is signed for several years do you tear it down with a new gm? another great year, another sad ending
  11. what's the story with this woman singing both anthems game after game after game after game
  12. 1. changing the day of an away game to give us a short week, working with the broadcast partner that fucked us before a hundred times and is disparaging us in this circumstance 2. a 3-hour change to the start of a homegame for the health and safety of 108,000 people when it has zero economic impact on our league and our current broadcast partner how ya'll are able to conflate and contrast these 2 entirely different circumstances is beyond me
  13. why would i want to do that? it's easier to bitch here and hope someone with agency or influence reads this on the other hand i do know 3 people who have had calls returned by cdc so maybe i will try that it's 3:58pm and 0u sux
  14. the argument in question is about kicking off on a brown dwarf (11am) or a neutron pulsar (3pm)
  15. we paid 0u's early exit fee by flipping the home/away years of the michigan game so fox could have last year's payday, for which they are repaying the favor by ratfucking the narrative on the MLB contract which prevents saturday night games for the b1g, and conspiring with fosu to blame us for their problem, again after we made sure they were whole 0u didn't make sure fox was made whole from our early exit 0u owes us, and specifically in the context of a game telecast situation whatever arguments anyone makes against my position, allow me to retort: 13 September Philadelphia average high SEVENTY NINE DEGREES there is zero justification for a 315pm kick in austin on the same day none
  16. @mdmost thank you and that's fair.... 11am g5/ooc sjsu is totally fair given the entire conference slate in week 2 here's the early games for week 3 where i have an issue: Wisconsin at Alabama: Sat., Sept. 13 on ABC/ESPN at 12 p.m. Oklahoma at Temple: Sat., Sept. 13 on ESPN2 at 12 p.m. South Alabama at Auburn: Sat., Sept. 13 on SEC Network at 12:45 p.m. Georgia at Tennessee: Sat., Sept. 13 on ABC at 3:30 p.m. UL Lafayette at Missouri: Sat., Sept. 13 on ESPN+ or SECN+ at 4 p.m. UTEP at Texas: Sat., Sept. 13 on SEC Network at 4:15 p.m. the average high in philadelphia on 13 september is 79 degrees, 37% chance overcast the "ratings split impact" will be the same whether we go up against wisky/bama or uga/tenn - both of those games are going to pull the national audience the horn audience will be the same at 11am or 3pm there is no excuse for a 120 degree game given this schedule 0u/temple needs to flip with us on september 13th and disney can figure out the networks
  17. what is the night game on secn/+ on the 13th that justifies 315 for utep?
  18. i did not keep up with this thread since new years and since search sucks i can't confirm if this has been posted...... talkiebird is done on 30 june here is the batallion recap of his time in charge which i'm sure ignores all of his greatest hits: https://thebatt.com/news/theres-only-one-john-sharp-after-14-years-the-texas-am-systems-longest-serving-chancellor-nears-retirement/ his replacement is aggy '93 and here is his opening statement after confirmation 2 months ago: +++ https://news.tamus.edu/glenn-hegar-named-chancellor-of-the-texas-am-university-system/ Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar ’93 was confirmed Friday as the next chancellor of The Texas A&M University System by a unanimous vote of the Board of Regents. “I am grateful and honored that the Board of Regents have entrusted me with the responsibility of leading one of the greatest university systems in the nation,” Hegar said. “Our Core Values unite us and set the Texas A&M System apart from the others, and I remain steadfastly committed to upholding and preserving those values.” +++ he was the only finalist for the job - and that makes sense as the highest-ranking aggy in the lege who knows better than anyone else how to steal our money but to repeat the best news, he is committed to keeping aggy aggy @closetojumping what's the word on this guy?
  19. the strongest parallel in modern american society is the belief by aggy and the brethren that each group are "the chosen people" but the brethren have never built an empty blimp hangar for trophies the "anointed" "god's chosen" "sleeping giant" aspect of aggy indoctrination is what causes their brain-crushing cognitive dissonance from constant and never-ending failure for them, it truly is impossible to understand and it's glorious to behold
  20. this the rest of the league is going to protect 3 acc/ooc rivalry games to justify staying at 8 ???? the fuck is this idiocy? conflating the problem with a theoretical b1g alliance is crap - if they want out of that fine - the rest of the league can do it to keep a strong sos and fl/ga/sc can have their acc game NO FCS AT ALL
  21. on the 995 aggy screenshot thread there was a cap in the last week of an ag tag which said, paraphrased "with what we've spent on a/b/c/d/etc it's a statistical impossibility that they suck as bad as they do, school built on an indian burial ground, etc." i've never tried to make aggy read aggypedia but that's next
  22. one of these things is not like the others what if one of these games *SHOULD* go on the chopping block?
  23. for any intrepid interlopers in search of authentic frontier gibberish (pure 100% unadulterated fosu content) here's an article from 2008: https://ohiostatebuckeyes.com/news/2008/10/25/saturday-night-light as a public service, let us broadcast the relevant section far and wide... so let it be written so let it be done +++ Sept. 11, 2005 – Texas 25, Ohio State 22 No. 4-ranked Ohio State was defeated by No. 2 Texas, 25-22, in the first-ever meeting between the schools in front of a record crowd of 105,565 Saturday in Ohio Stadium. Josh Huston kicked a school and stadium record five field goals (45 yards, 36, 25, 44, 26). Santonio Holmes had 36-yard touchdown reception from Troy Smith and finished with 73 yards on four catches to lead the Buckeyes. Antonio Pittman had a team-best 75 yards on 17 carries. A.J. Hawk had an interception, two sacks, a team-high 12 tackles (including three for loss), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

Receiver Billy Pittman had 130 yards on five catches. Texas scored on its first and second possessions of the game to claim a 10-0 first-quarter lead. Holmes took the ensuing kickoff and raced 47 yards, leading to a Huston connection from 45 yards out to pull the Buckeyes within a 10-3 score in the second quarter. The Buckeyes followed with a nine-play, 80-yard drive that saw quarterback Troy Smith complete a 36-yard pass to Holmes in the corner of the end zone to tie the score. Huston’s leg gave the Buckeyes a 13-10 lead with 4:33 to play before halftime. Hawk fell on a fumble on the ensuing Texas possession to give the ball back to Ohio State. Nine plays later, Huston kicked his third field goal of the night to build the Buckeye lead to 16-10 with 35 seconds to play before intermission. Texas pulled within three points on a Pino 37-yard field goal with two seconds left in the opening half. In the second half, another Texas turnover led to anther Huston field goal. On the Longhorns’ second play of their first second-half drive, Vince Young threw his second interception of the game as safety Nate Salley picked off a ball tipped by linebacker Bobby Carpenter. Six plays later, Huston booted his fourth field goal of the game, this time connecting from 44 yards to give the Buckeyes a 19-13 lead with 11:46 to play in the third quarter. After the Longhorns pulled within three, 19-16, on a 25-yard Pino field goal, Huston tied a school and Ohio Stadium record with his fifth field goal of the game to retake a six-point lead. His connection from 26 yards out made the score 22-16 with 5:12 to play. The Longhorns tied the game on a Young 24-yard touchdown pass to Limas Sweed with 2:37 left in the fourth quarter. Pino put Texas ahead with the extra point. The seven-play drive covered 67 yards and took 2:23 off the clock. On the next drive, Ohio State fumbled and the Longhorns recovered on the OSU 21 with 2:19 left. Texas did not score on the drive, turning the ball over to OSU on downs inside the 1-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Smith was sacked in the end zone for a safety, pushing the Texas lead to 25-22. Ohio State attempted an onside kick following the safety, but it was recovered by Texas, giving the Longhorns possession at the OSU 32. V. Young took a knee to run out the clock.
