Is there a reason UConn isn't MAC for football only?
Because the MAC sucks and provides less exposure than an independent schedule would? I'm sure they'd take being in the American for football-only, but I don't think that offer has ever been extended.

how was your trip (aside from the ass kicking)? we lost in OT when i went, but we still had a blast. something unique about the Phog is that it has ~the same number of seats as the FEC, no upper deck, and no AC. the sun was shining and the weather was beautiful when we walked in. it got hotter than shit while we were in there with the lack of AC and the giant windows just blasting you with sun. then when we left after the senior day festivities it was like 40 degrees and 35 mph winds. defintely a unique game day experience.
It was great (aside from the ass kicking). Definitely the best basketball experience I've ever been a part of. Really cool history and aside from a hand full of Horns down, fans mostly polite and welcoming. No confrontations whatsoever. Reminded me a lot of the Notre Dame football game in '15. I knew we had a down year then, but didn't want to miss would could've been my last chance to see us play at an iconic location. I won't be in a hurry to see us at Rupp until this program gets its shit together.

Can't wait for the sequal.
I would love to see a sequel, but it's been a while, and it doesn't seem like one's coming.

This program would be better off had we lost last year in the 2nd round.

I'd think the Big 10 would love some TV eyeballs in the Sunshine State, and I'd think the SEC would want to keep the Big 10 out.
We must not tolerate this second northern aggression!!!

Think the horse is out of the barn with Big 10 and SEC expansion and mega-contracts, but this is Chip Kelly's proposal to partly put the Genie back in the bottle. 4 sixteen team regional conferences each with 8 team divisions in one TV contract but in a separation from the rest of FBS who would be in a separate 4X16 group and TV contract.
Ooh, I'll play. Using March Madness regional names...

With Philly's loss to Seattle, who has the tiebreaker for the division title if we both win out?

I like playing on Friday after Thanksgiving but Saturday would be ok. I really hope we don't go back to Thanksgiving day.
So much for the asinine texags theory that they would keep playing lsu on Thanksgiving weekend.
With the exception of the usually-irrelevant Egg Bowl, I think college football has now fully surrendered Thanksgiving Day (and night) to the NFL.

I don’t really remember what happened in 1994 when the SEC split into divisions, but Saban has certainly been complaining about possibly having to play Tennessee, Auburn, and LSU every year going forward.
I would too. Bama's permanent three should be more like Auburn, Tennessee, and Miss. State instead.

Yup, the new 12 is perfectly set up for everyone to have the same 3 annual games. Won’t call them pods because that term has been beat up over time, but basically pods.
UU, BYU, AU, ASU - West/Mountains
CU, KU, KSU, ISU - Old Big 8
Tech, TCU, BU, OSU - Old Big XII South (+ TCU)
Cincy, UCF, WVU, UH - Old AAC + Geography + Holgy
Nine game schedule, 3+2+2+2. A four year player could expect to play everyone in the conference during their career.
This is the correct answer. Houston kinda gets screwed, but they're lucky to have a seat to begin with. Plus, they only joined the SWC in the '70s.

Bottoms. A teen sex comedy geared toward much more toward girls and folks in the LGBTQetc community (so I'm not exactly in their target demo), but the absurd plot and well-timed one-liners had me laughing out loud several different times.

Why didn't the Arizona schools and Utah simply vote to dissolve the conference before announcing their jump to the Big 12? Seems like they could have had access to the Pac-12's remaining assets if they had done that first.

I've literally seen @MikeUT8750do a $100 handshake to get into the game (after hitting up a pawn shop to get the money for it). You'll find a way to work your way over
Does this move still work? I utilized this method a few times in the aughts, but feel like they've replaced the laid-back, older ticket-takers with teens who are scared of getting into trouble.

Our kids are still several years away from having to make this decision, but the wife and I were casually talking about this the other day.
I'd love for my kids to be 4th generation Longhorns, but also wouldn't mind for a moment (except perhaps financially) if they chose an elite school like one in the Ivy League, Stanford, Rice, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, etc. Wife went to A&M so she'd definitely be fine with them picking A&M, too, but recognizes that UT is more highly rated. The concern we'd have is if they couldn't get into one of the elites or either of our alma maters. What's next? (Btw, not meaning to offend anyone on here.)
SMU/TCU - Both (but especially SMU) are extremely close to us in proximity, so not sure they'd get a full college experience being so close to home. Also not sure the bang for the buck is worth it.
Baylor - Expensive and strong on religion that isn't our own.
UTD - Also very close to home and seems to lack any traditional college atmosphere whatsoever. Would be great for STEM but would seem boring AF.
Houston - I don't know a ton about UofH. I feel like it has improved, but is it still largely a commuter school? Also, are you locking yourself into to only Houston-area positions for job prospects?
Tech - The next largest "name brand" state school after UT & A&M with most of which comes with being a big Texas school, but it's still waaaay down in the rankings. Appears to have a decent network throughout most of the state, but Lubbock sucks.
Generic SEC state school - Would be at a flagship school in a somewhat neighboring state, but generally poorly rated.
UNT/TxSt/SH/SFA/Tarleton - Similar to Tech, aside from being in a better location than Lubbock, but also worse in the rankings.If mine couldn't get into an elite school not named UT, I think I'd encourage them to keep their nose in a book for a year at UTA before being able to transfer to UT.
