  1. I think so. He’s not an amateur and he made the cut. Give the man his money. in addition, if he finishes in top 15 he’s an automatic qualifier for next year.
  2. The Michael Block storyline and the harder-than-US Open conditions has made this the most entertaining PGA Championship that I can remember. Wasn’t it just a few years ago we were mocking the PGA Championship for the ridiculously easy course setups?
  3. Just ahead of his time.
  4. Terrell Owens? Didn't he go to like Tennessee-Chattanooga or something like that? I would add to your list: 1. Dez Bryant 2. Seneca Wallace 3. Justin Blackmon 4. Earl Thomas 5. Nathan Vasher 6. Michael Crabtree 7. Dat Nguyen
  5. I believe I read somewhere it only takes 8 votes of the 15 members to dissolve the ACC. Would Duke join the 7 to dissolve the ACC? I'm a little surprised to see NC State in that group. I don't see them, nor Va Tech for that matter, finding homes in the BIG or SEC.
  6. Clearly they don't teach contract law there.
  7. Agreed. I don't see any scenario that has WSU and OSU going to the Big 12.
  8. Depends on the TV deal. If the deal is as crappy as some are predicting, Arizona is bolting regardless of what the others do. I think AU leaving then forces ASU and CU to think long and hard on doing the same.
  9. No kidding. Jimbo has to have some aggy DNA in him. An outsider can't assimilate that quickly, can he?
  10. Kyle is en fuego this morning:
  11. Pat should call Jimmy and get some advice on how to deal with embarrassing little brothers.
  12. I just came here to thank Baby Jesus that Bijan did not go to the Eagles.
  13. How much fun would that be? I’d buy tickets.
  14. No one is doing a 20+ contract of any kind after seeing the situation that the ACC is in. If OUW joins the Big 12, is for whatever this recent contract is signed for (5-6 years I think?) But to your point, I think OUW would view 5-6 years as an eternity, so it might as well be 20+.
  15. You left out, in my opinion, the most interesting thing he said: "...I shouldn't even say that." That's the part I'm scratching my head on. "Nobody's asked us...I shouldn't even say that." Why shouldn't you? Did he catch himself providing too much info? It's just an odd thing to say in this context.
  16. This is not nearly as important as lose vs. loose.
  17. It should start and end here. No need to tweak the actual playing rules...just fix the damn replay rules and you will shave a half hour off of the games.
  18. As an outsider to Texas, and specifically the DFW market, you don't realize that TCU really doesn't deliver the DFW market. Just like UH doesn't really deliver the Houston market. And the television market dynamics from when Rutgers and Maryland were added to the BIG are no longer the reality in 2023. Cable packages have changed...it's no longer about tv sets in the MSA. So you can't use the Rutgers comparison to TCU. And this guy is dead on point. This team just played in the NC game, and yet they still have to do squirrely shit like this:
  19. TCU, for all its success, has shit for fan support. Even last year when they were winning the conference they didn't sell out their stadium. The only time they sell out their basketball arena is if Tech or UT is playing (and they tried to limit the tickets Tech fans could buy even if it meant empty seats). They are a small private school with a small alumni following whose success on the field has not resulted in a large fanbase. They don't bring anything to the BIG except for an occasional game in the metroplex for the visiting team.
  20. This is Big 10 country.
  21. Yeah, I meant to go back and edit that, but I waited too late. I left out the line that was in my head..."The Big 12 has chosen to have a championship game to determine it's champion, and in the future..." I know I'm getting old...I think I type the stuff that's in my head, and then I go back and see that I didn't.
  22. Well, you're kind of making our point as well and I don't think you realize it. TCU won a playoff game...that's it. They brought home no hardware. Now, if their coaches hadn't gotten stupid, they could've won the Big 12 championship game. Don't you think they wish they had won that game? Big 12 Championship trophy in the case, Big 12 champs billboards all over DFW, put it on the stadium, etc.? Do you think they really wish there hadn't been a Big 12 championship game?? That game didn't prevent them from winning their semi-final playoff game, and it sure as heck had no bearing on them getting their asses whooped by Georgia. You could make the case that the Big 12 championship game screwed them because they went undefeated...and in the past (SWC), doing that would win you the conference. But when you get to 12 teams, you have to have a championship game, and there will always need to be one going forward.
