  1. Next the pearl clutchers will say he got money in college. Seriously though. Anyone who had to watch his team play vintage FSU and Miami knows that one made you hate losing to in football, while the other you hate living in the same country.
  2. SI is something that cannot matter when one arm of the sovereign fights with another.
  3. The first time I heard Texas referred to as 'the South' it sounded just plain weird. The South is where Mr Lincoln sent the main Union Army. And as the other guys said, in TX you can see your meat, it isn't drowning in vinegar sauce.
  4. Seems more like Chef Boyardee
  5. So you want to give up 20 to 100 years of tradition to see Oxford Mississippi?
  6. Amazon offers the Interplanetary Longhorn Spacestation, Texas immediately launches Big12 Rescue Mission.
  7. Concerning Texas A&M, don't you remember telling us for ten years UT will never go because the Aggies would never stop saying 'We led the way to the SEC.' talk about a 100 year decision
  8. I thought of that but then the rump Big12 is a Power Conference in name only. Kinda like the Big East after Miami bolted. No one will think of TTech and Houston as important undergraduate institutions if they are not in the most important PR league. Doesn't the state of Texas have plans to promote UH into the tier of IU, NCST, ASU?
  9. I'm here because I assume Dirt Bunglers has erupted. And to work on my metaphors.
  10. And it's all about the nickel and dimes of the media contracts. Who knew accountants had fanboys?
  11. Bobby Bowden was such a character, specifically Foghorn Leghorn.
  12. Is it even possible for the NCAA to sanction a team for illegal benefits now? Even if some dunderhead gets caught handling a bag of cash, "Oh we were in a deal to make T-shirts, this was his advance payment, the production company should be calling me back any day now."
  13. It's okay, PHX is determined to leave the free gifts on the porch.
  14. I don't get modern basketball. PHX offense looks like; have one guy dribble around for 10 seconds then force a shot.
  15. Somewhere, somehow.
  16. Becoming 1% to win the conference is a massive improvement for a team that was 0.1% to win the conference. Ventuple? 🤓
  17. I'm thinking that state schools will win out because they ultimately bill the taxpayer. State politicians understand who is on the team when they award those big contracts.
  18. So it would greatly help the national title prospects of the University of Arkansas to move into the Big12. For Nebraska it's a almost a wash. But OU cannot play itself. So they would be moving tier 1 opponents onto their path with a move to an adjacent conference. So the noisiest fan base about CR is trying to make it harder on themselves. Clemson is in the same boat, but their fans seem to know that you don't mess with a good thing.
  19. I bet if you ran the numbers you would find the two conferences are basically equal and the rest are pretty close. I'd say the only outliers in terms of making the playoff are a non-Bama SECw team (hard) and Clemson (easy).
  20. Without looking I'd guess the Hawkeyes have more wins over anOSU than Michigan, lately. I wonder about the contract value of an exclusive right to the field telegraph .
  21. Hard to say on the schedule. OU/UT = anOSU/PSU. But ask Ohio State what it's like to play Wiscy and @Iowa on a regular basis. That may be the reason ND scheduled the Badgers at neutralish sites, Lambeau and Soldier Field. But it's easy to say with the money. Has any school not named Notre Dame voluntarily taken a pay cut for a better conference culture fit? And when we turned down the BUG in the late 90s, there was not a crystal clear contractual 8-digit sum in play.
  22. Many people don't realize that the legal definition of domestic violence was mushroomed to include violence against property or crimes against relatives and in-laws. Read your states statutes or some lawyer's blog.
  23. Solich was solid but never won the MAC championship. UTn (Toledo) has produced Nick Saban, Tim Beckman, and Matt Campbell Miami of OH (cradle of coaches) Paul Brown, Carmen Cozza, Weeb Ewbank, Ara Parseghian, Earl Blaik, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, and Jim Tressel. (thanks Wikipedia) Urban Meyer spent one year at Bowling Green. Brian Kelly's first FBS job was at Central Michigan.
  24. U need an agreeable conference in which to park the other sports.. Which is basically what UT has now. The only thing you have to do is shed your 9th conference game and/or CCG rematch.
