  1. Can someone translate for me what "significant linear concepts" means?
  2. Greg Flugaur knows less than anyone, and that's saying something. Dude is in a basement in Chicago or Minnesota or something and basically just reads whatever rumors are out there on Twitter and then does a podcast or tweet-cast or youtube or whatever about it. I guarantee you that if the PAC 12 presidents were presented with a deal today, he would be the last to know (like seriously, you all at Surly would know before he would). Jason, on the other hand, does seem to have at least a couple of solid connections within UA, so I'm not so quick to dismiss what he says. And if he is saying something that is opposite of the PATC guy, then Jason is the one who is right.
  3. Her and her senior staff at the President's House right now:
  4. It's all West Texas, bitches. Once you have Tech sitting firmly on the 101st meridian, there is no need for another University to occupy the space.
  5. That's the weird dichotomy with SMU. They have some serious, and I mean serious, money, power, and influence sitting on their Board and throughout their alumni ranks (and even non-alumni supporters). Yet, there just isn't the emotional fervor for their athletic teams. Only time I've seen Ford Stadium sold out is when Tech came to town...didn't even sell out with cross-town rival TCU. Basketball did enjoy some support when they were winning a ton of games a few years ago, but it pretty much died when Larry Brown left (under a cloud of scandal, of course). Their money and influence just does not translate to success in the revenue sports. But they build some amazing facilities for their non-revenue sports. Track, Soccer, LaCrosse, Tennis...some of the finest facilities you'll find.
  6. I'm really starting to think this is George Kilavkoff's strategery. And the fact that his name is George is no mere coincidence!
  7. If they stick with the PAC for a few more years in a really shitty TV deal holding out hope they will eventually get the BIG invite, that viewership might dry up faster than the recruiting money. It's not looking like there is any potential TV deal that would provide them the national exposure they would need to maintain current recruitment levels.
  8. You would think the Comcast fiasco would have taught them not to even consider going down this path. EDIT: Fucking Hurtlocker beat me to it by just a few seconds.
  9. End of July or end of June?? Because I keep hearing the conference fiscal year is July 1 - June 30 (same as fed govt). But I don't know if that's actually true or not.
  10. I heard either on a podcast or perhaps the Big12 Radio on Sirius that the PACX would want to have this deal done before PAC12 media days for football, which I guess should be somewhere around mid-to-late July?? The reason, according to the pundits having the conversation, would be that as a conference you want to showcase your brands, your teams, your coaches, and most importantly, your players. If there is no deal in place before then, it turns into a giant media circus where the only thing being asked about is the TV deal and whether or not the conference will stay intact in its current form (minus LA schools) or not. They said that is the absolute last thing the schools would want for their PACX media days event.
  11. Because we all know a coach would never say something untrue to a recruit.
  12. Meanwhile, SlamBall got their deal done with ESPN. Maybe the PacX should have hired the SlamBall commissioner to do their negotiating. Yes, I know, apples and oranges. Just having a little fun with the ridiculousness that is the PacX nearly year-long TV contract negotiation.
  13. If he's flying AA, that means nothing. Fly to DFW, connect to somewhere else. Remember in the 80's when you had every SWA flight connecting through Love, and every AA flight connecting through DFW, the old joke was "when you die, you have to go through Dallas to get to heaven."
  14. Can one of you smart young farts with your fancy video editing capabilities take this video of George Costanza trying to pretend he didn't quit his job on Friday and put SDSU logo on George, various other MWC teams on the other coworkers, and the MWC logo on the boss at the end? I'm technically-challenged on how to do such a thing.
  15. After watching how terribly SDSU has fucked up this exit/non-exit/gonna exit but not officially now train wreck, I am thoroughly convinced they are a perfect match for the PAC. You can’t find that level of ineptitude anywhere other than the PAC.
  16. I can attest that SMU has a ton of wealth to draw upon. I’m really surprised they aren’t better than they are because of it. Guessing if they could get their act together, NIL could be a game changer for them. Honestly surprised they are so far behind the NIL 8-ball considering their resources.
  17. Well, you can't blame him. With so many people speculating and getting things wrong, if you have the receipts you post them!
  18. She wasn't laughing when she responded to him with "it's been kind of a bit like groundhog day".
  19. Yeah, nothing they said in that clip was wrong at all. All they had to do was show the video from the board meeting and that's all you need to know.
  20. I love that the coaches played as well.
  21. What a putz. For months his line has been that no schools would leave the PAC 12 for the Big 12. Now it’s, well they may leave, but they don’t want to. Asshole.
