  1. that's the only reason I'm surprised at Bjork's tweet about not playing the gay fehgs at t.u., I would think this season in particular would be an opportune time to run his mouth given that any potential UT-A&M game will end up cancelled like the rest of them as soon as a player gets hospitalized.
  2. Herman may be 100% genuine here, or he may be smart enough (MENSA, even) to know that summer 2020 is probably not the opportune time to try to make a point like that
  3. GOD!!!!!! I neg repped the post and then went to 16 of the guy's OTHER posts and neg repped those TOO. What more am I supposed to do.
  4. I would actually be surprised if this list is comprehensive. It might be missing a few edit-- he should have said "top four", not "top five", because A&M's finished 5th twice but higher only one time (the AP title in 1939). You really juice them making it "top four finishes".
  5. I would like to watch them attempt to create said cross
  6. you are conflating two things one, the sport should absolutely be aligned along coherent and traditional geographic boundaries. Illinois might not be much, but it has a trophy game with Ohio State, along with a hundred years of history. That counts for something when they play and Ohio State wins by 50. Ohio State and Rutgers don't have shit. Oklahoma State is a boring opponent for me personally but at least they make sense in that we're both large state schools in the Southwestern(ish) part of the country. two, relegation itself is a stupid idea for college football. Arkansas has been bad for "so long"....? Guess what, more people would still prefer to watch them than watch Arkansas State or Houston. That's why the SEC wants Arkansas. The broadcast entities (whether current network and cable TV or future web based providers) can get more eyeballs with Arkansas than Arkansas State or Houston (or Purdue than Ball State, or any other number of relegation-related comparisons we want to make-- I picked Arkansas State and Houston out of geographic convenience to make the point). There's no logical mechanism to force the Big Ten to drop Illinois and add Northern Illinois, even if we're strictly talking about their football programs and not membership in other sports or the (former) CIC. There also isn't enough volume in G5 to support relegation. For every Boise State, there are two or even three dozen G5 programs that no one wants to watch regularly. You'd basically be creating a relegation system that never needs to be used, or one used to promote too many unattractive programs too frequently.
  7. I was hoping to get one of those cool POPULAR POST flags on one of mine!!!!!!!
  8. what country are you living in? I won't be surprised if they shut down e-sports. there's almost no chance we play, but there's too much money at stake and we love the lesbian underwater basket weaving teams CFB pays for too much to shut the golden goose in the fridge yet
  9. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/23/us/tulsa-massacre-excavation-ends-trnd/index.html Search for a mass grave from the 1921 Tulsa race massacre ends without finding human remains "At this point, we believe we have fully investigated this anomaly, and unfortunately we have not discovered the evidence of Race Massacre victims we were hoping to find," Stacklebeck said in the city's news release.
  10. Fucking cracks me up. That's counting the first three games of the 2010 season, right? My gosh, WHY would anyone have been unhappy in 2010 when we stumblefucked our way to 3-0 against badly outmatched competition? What COULD have been bothering people at that point? I mean, is it his/your position that our unhappiness caused the 2-7 finish to the 2010 season?
  11. After rehearsal Wednesday night, I chatted with the keys player about random stuff just catching up, because we hadn't been in the same room in a few weeks. There was a tremendous car accident @ 620/Quinlan Park that night and she happened to text me a "heads up, here's how to get around it" because it had 620 shut down big time. I texted her to say thanks later and she pointed out if we hadn't hung around chatting after rehearsal, she might have been IN the accident-- she saw it happen a few cars ahead of her. That was sort of an "oh yeah, PHEW, thank God" thing at first but the more you really think about how close that was, it's eerie.
  12. thrown away line in this interview with Mark DiDia (Crowes manager) is that a box set is coming this year. Three discs/three albums... I was hoping for a lot more, there are still probably twenty-plus unreleased studio quality Black Crowes tracks I'd like to hear. https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/353543 We also have a box set coming, which we'll be rolling out mainly on ecommerce sites — the Amazons of the world and our own universe. It's a three-album, three-disc box set. There's a live album that was recorded back on that first tour in 1990, that's going to be part of the box. That stuff's coming between now and Christmas. ... Our fans still like physical product and DVDs, which is why we're excited about this box set, because it's going to be mainly physical. You'll be able to listen to it on Spotify and all that, but we feel pretty good about selling physical product, and we're going to be doing T-shirt bundles with it.
  13. this sounds more like Coverdale-Page than Led Zeppelin but it's fucking funny
  14. Ty didn't do any recruiting, that's why Notre Dame fans were so eager for him to get canned.
  15. as we shift towards the inevitable 64/68/70ish "P5 only" super-league, this becomes ever more true right now, the Big Ten subsidizes what would otherwise be completely non-competitive programs-- Indiana, Rutgers, Illinois, Purdue, etc. when the P5 breaks away from G5, I think the P5 will be a lot more likely to ask "why are we paying Indiana to play football?" than it is today. or to say it another way, the answer of "they're a traditional member of our 120-yr old conference" will stop being a good reason to subsidize their football program
  16. longer commercial breaks too, we got a revenue title to defend!
  17. we'd have to know what Spurlin wants in order to make that determination-- is he mad because Del Conte's not like "man FUCK the coronavirus hoax, we're tailgating and I'll pour shots!", or is he mad because Del Conte hasn't publicly taken the Oath of Patriotism and vowed to shutter the athletic department until every American's been vaccinated twice? and I never get off the Internet, so are there any other positions not represented above?
