  1. Ask you friends in the neighborhood about me, they'll tell you I know how to return a favor.
  2. The problem with all these knock offs is that they sell a lesser version of the same thing. The only one that actually competes is college football. That's because CFB is not selling you that these are the best football players in the world.
  3. I don't think your current yoga-teflon unis can actually attach particles.
  4. Yes I don't know how these leagues get fixated on the points in time where people don't watch them or football in general. Right now a league of undrafted players would be competitive with the NBA finals and in a few weeks would outdraw MLB.
  5. My Day at the Rose Bowl (ndnation.com) It became somewhat of a meme on one of ND's oldest fan sites. 6. For the coin toss they have former Texas and Michigan legends Darrel Royal and Bo Schembechler come out. The Michigan crowd wails like they have seen the face of God, unaware that Bo's coaching achievements are the equivalent of having your cow win the Okeemos County 4H ribbon for ten consecutive years but never making it past the second-round milking qualifier at the state championship. Guy in front of me: "There goes a real coach." Me: "Yeah, I wonder if Royal is going to show Bo one of his National Championship rings."
  6. Do you hear it spreading across college and NFL stadia?
  7. True. I didn't know I was that old. It was only 1 generation ago when college football, and a Cubs home game, was always played in the day time. Now some fans feel they are being treated unfairly because of 11am instead of noon. But no one when the PAC is playing football past midnight.
  8. I have to wait til 2028 Notre Dame Announces Schedule Changes to Arkansas Series (und.com)
  9. I've reached the point where I will not set the alarm clock for a groggy PAC time kickoff. This was unthinkable just a decade ago when my phone chirped at 5:45AM because the Irish opened in Dublin. Related: I will not attend an AM Fiesta Bowl in a domed Cardinals Stadium way out in the suburbs.
  10. ADs don't normally call out their media 'partners' publicly. This smells.
  11. Would it be Editors-Nazi? _ The reality is that we speak it as a single noun phrase as in that_Buckeye_over_there's Bush Lite spitoon. Whether we write it as one word, hyphenated, or two words is arbitrary.
  12. It's Walmart's. At least in the Midwest they speak as though Sam Walton has an office in the back room.
  13. PRobably some law from the Estate Generals.
  14. How many Buds Lite made you want to write this?
  15. Not all doormats are created equal. Compare stadium attendance of Miss State to Hoosiers to Boston Oliver College. While I don't want ND to join them, I like how the ACC games the system. They have filled the economy lot with mid size academics-first schools and have them field roughly .500 football teams. This ensures everyone gets a bare P5 media deal while the top dog will be in position for a playoff berth.
  16. Two conferences play only 8 conf games and they both have dominated in playoff appearances and national titles. Unrelated: their media $ is commensurate with their fanbases. It's not that complicated.
  17. They tried that when Mike Pence spoke at an ND graduation. They were out of mind as soon as out of sight.
  18. If UT was located on one of the populated coastal corridors it couldn't be the University of Texas.
  19. But did they really profit off of the move? The payout an FCS school gets for 1 blue blood bodybag visit likely dwarfs their media money.
  20. I remember a Saturday afternoon movie based on The Green Knight with Sean Connery. I loved the poem in school, but this movie butchered the ending. Did I imagine this film? I don't feel like checking.
  21. Regardless it was the wrong thing to do. He should have punched him.
  22. At the time the brawl happened I thought Miami's real embarrassment is people not know they played a school called "Florida International" Little did I know the body bag game was about to become an annual siesta.
  23. So tragic. I'm glad to read your community is resilient.
