    Yeah Staples thinks no school will leave, but if they do it sounds like they'll backfill with SDSU and maybe SMU. He thinks the PAC screwed up not adding Texas teams when they had the chance. I assume he's referencing Coug High? 

    No.

    I think he's either referring to back in 2010(?) when PAC-10 could have had UT, TT, OU, & OSU when A&M decided to throw their little tantrum, and/or then again back in 2021 when UT and OU announced leaving to SEC, the PAC decided they didn't want the likes of Tech, OSU, TCU et al in their treehouse.

    It's about a week old, but F*** Andy Staples thinks Colorado and Arizona are listening to the Big 12. ASU and Utah want to stay to rub academic elbows with Cal and Stanford. 

     

    Although I think it would be great if only UA and CU came to the Big 12 and the rest stayed behind in their dying conference, there is no way ASU and UU could be so obtuse as to not beg the Big 12 to take them as well should the former happen.

    But stranger things have happened.

  3. The UU President chose his words very carefully in this interview.  Maybe I listened to it with anti-PAC 10 ears, but even though he says they're all committed right now to each other, sure sounds like he sees the big picture and is not painting himself in the PAC 10 or bust corner like the ASU president and Utah AD seemed to do the last couple of weeks.

    chicks with cursive tattoos under their left titty put out. big time. i dunno when the memo got sent out, but it's amazing how many of these broads get the tacky ass cursive word(s) tattoo in that exact spot. it's basically a "do me" tattoo.

    But Captain Dan, she ain’t got no titties.

    Caddies get to fuck around with the name this week

    i haven’t watched much.

    assuming Schenk was in the sand a lot this week 

     

    somebody made birdie on 18 Thursday to “save” an 89. So the next day, caddie had “Mr. 89” on his back 

    Ah, ok.
     

    I wonder if it’s because of the two stroke penalty Schenk received in 2019 when his caddy stood behind him when he was in the bunker to talk after he had already addressed the ball, violating the rule that had been introduced outlawing caddies aligning players.

    For a smart guy, Robbins didn't sound very intelligent with this commentary. Apathy is the PAC's biggest problem. Well, that and letting Cal and Stanford have too much say

    Picture of Robbins when he was a high school football player:

  7. I think Robbins is just playing the CYA card right now.  He's hedging his bets and trying not to say anything that would get the PAC up in arms against Arizona.  Let the process play out, pretend like you are completely on board with the PAC and George K. and are optimistic an acceptable TV deal is done, and then when it's not, he can say he tried but they didn't deliver.

    Or...he's just a dumbass.

    Regardless, I've pretty much stopped caring.  I see the PAC dying no matter what.  Either they agree to a crappy TV rights deal and fall off the college football radar the next few years, prompting Oregon and Washington to sell their souls to leave and the conference turning into WAC 2.0, or they end up turning into WAC 2.0 now when certain members bolt to the security that the Big 12 provides.  Either way, it's a dead conference walking...it's just a matter of when now.

    Still no shot clock in TX HS Basketball

    Didn't know that...for some reason I thought they instituted one a few years ago.  Confession...I haven't been back to a high school basketball game since that trainwreck in 1992 at the FEC.

    I hate when teams change what they do best to try and run clock. Just play. If you go down, go down swinging. 

    1992 5-A High School Basketball Championship game.  My alma mater, Victoria High, had a huge lead on Longview.  Huge.  So what does Coach Smith decide to do?  Decides to milk the extremely long clock playing 4-square (no shot clock then).  I watched as Longview stole pass after pass to whittle away at the lead and eventually take over the game and win it.

    If VHS had just kept playing the way they had been, they would have had the title and hoisted the trophy.  But the coach turtled up like Mr. Coach Klein vs. Red Beaulieu.  Ironically, I think a shot clock would have given VHS a state title.

    And it's not fair, because aggy shoulda been a 5-seed and gotten to play a 12-seed.  But the Committee underseeded aggy as punishment and made them play the hottest 10-seed in tournament history (5 wins out of their last 6, which had never been done before), and then they made sure that aggy couldn't hit any shots with well-timed adjustments to the air conditioning vents.  It's all a buncha bullshit to keep aggy from realizing their potential, which is basically the 1990's Chicago Bulls.

    Damn, it's like I was really there at TexAgs reading that.

    You speak aggy without even a hint of an accent.  You must live amongst them.

    I think it’s clearly both to give the new XII schools exposure they might not get since none are Bama or LSU, and also for media content and relationship with the NFL. I appreciate that Yormark accepts who we are and maximizes what we can do, not pretending that any of us are equal to bluebooods or have a realistic chance at become one.

    I think the main reason, and the biggest benefit, is simply getting the Big 12 football brand on the NFL network in the late winter/early spring.  Yes, it's a great opportunity for the players and others, but it's an even bigger opportunity to just keep the brand out there in the offseason as well.

  12. I had gotten clean, y'all.  I really had.  I did the 12-step program to get rid of my addiction to aggie tears.

    But then I went and visited the TexAgs Basketball forum this morning.  Guys, that shit was pure, man.  I haven't seen Aggy tears that pure in a long time.  It was the good stuff, man.  The really good stuff.

    I fell off the wagon.  I snorted it up like Pacino at the end of the Scarface.

    They blame this loss on the NCAA seeding them #7.  It's all the NCAA's fault.  It's a conspiracy against them. - I'm telling you, this stuff was better than what Denzel was peddling in American Gangster.

    Is it just me or is there a lot of fans, media and even administrators who based on some of the things they say have talked themselves into the belief that the B1G and SEC aren’t sustainable and that they will be a reckoning and they big 2 will collapse and UT,OU, A&M, USC, UCLA will come crawling back and Networks will have lost their investments? Like I definitely understand that belief for college athletics as a whole, but the idea that the Pac 12, ACC will put last the B1G/SEC even in a meager form is just laughable able to me.

    I think it’s just you, because I haven’t seen anyone say anything even insinuating such a thought. 
     

    or maybe I’m reading the wrong media and tweets. 
     

    Pretty certain 99% of the folks think the SEC and BIG are going to be just fine forever and it’s the other three that have unknown futures.

    It sounds like a coordinated effort from conference members to try and make the networks seem they're legitimately into staying.  Lets see reality though....it's not just about that base number but it's about the other shit as noted in that article I linked yesterday. 


     

     

    In other words, if you want to get paid more, root for all of the conference in the NCAA tourney.

    In this article, Robbins is presented as rather politic and uncommitted. He manages to throw in a vote of confidence in Kliavkov's negotiation skills and multiple compliments for the Pac. He minimizes the idea of leaving over a "small" difference in payouts. He also mentioned his support in the past of uniting with the B12, friends he has in the B12, and the fact that this is a business decision, all without ever directly answering what negotiations he may have already had with the B12. He seems to know a thing or two about business, based on his tenure leading the Texas Medical Center. Unless the article does a really bad job of cherry picking quotations, it sounds like Robbins confirming that AZ is ready to jump if/when the Pac numbers aren't competitive.

    The PAC 12 apologists/water-carriers love to point out that he rejects the notion that schools would leave for the Big 12.  They conveniently ignore the important words "prior to being presented a media rights proposal".

    consumers of OTA and "cable" are consuming a single 1-to-many data source

    at some point in the architectural distribution tree for streaming, it becomes 1-to-1, or in the case of NFL thursdays 11million-to-11million, the pipe is too thin the road is a finite size and there are lots of intersections where traffic gets congested.

    this is why musk and multiple competitors are building leo internet constellations, it's many-from-1 reception that jumps intersections ("routers" - the birds) in real time in space

    I'm a Tech grad...can you explain this to me like I'm 5 please?
