    I didn't think it was that big of a deal.  I'm sure the players don't really notice.  That Dixieland Delight or whatever was...weird.

    I guess they reserved the fuck Auburn for only when they play Auburn?  That's what go Dixieland Delight banned for several years.

    So reading this thread, basically usc saved the big 12

    The Big 12 Media rights run through 2031.  It will be here sooner then we think and then what?  I don't see these media companies throwing wads of cash around by that time with streaming and cable money woes uncertainity.

  3. A wee bit off topic but intersting.. B1G 2024-2024 Schedule Released

     

    They got it right for the most part. They ended divisional play. But just in case you don't think tOSU still runs the place their permenant opponents are Michigan, Illinois and Northwestern. Each university was asked to list their three preferred rivals. Everyone is scheduled to play eveyone over a two year period.

    There are 11 rivalries now considered permanent, games that will be played on an annual basis: Michigan-Ohio State, Michigan-Michigan State, Minnesota-Wisconsin, Minnesota-Iowa, Wisconsin-Iowa, Nebraska-Iowa, Indiana-Purdue, Illinois-Purdue, Illinoise-Northwestern, USC-UCLA and Maryland-Rutgers.

    Each team will play three others in both 2024 and 2025. They include:
    Illinois: Northwestern, Purdue, Ohio State
    Indiana: Purdue, Michigan State, Maryland
    Iowa: Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin
    Maryland: Rutgers, Indiana, Michigan
    Michigan: Ohio State, Michigan State, Maryland
    Michigan State: Michigan, Penn State, Indiana
    Minnesota: Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska
    Nebraska: Iowa, Minnesota, UCLA
    Northwestern: Illinois, Ohio State, Purdue
    Ohio State: Michigan, Illinois, Northwestern
    Penn State: Michigan State, USC, Rutgers
    Purdue: Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern
    Rutgers: Maryland, Penn State, UCLA
    UCLA: USC, Nebraska, Rutgers
    USC: Penn State, Wisconsin, UCLA

    The PAC 10 TV Deal has been two weeks away for the past 8 months:

    WSU and OSU are probably the two most nervous Pac 12 members left standing and they are hoping.

  5. I've experienced the heartbreak of dementia on both sides of our families and there is nothing more cruel.  The look from their eyes tells you they know what is going on but they just cannot speak.  I'm glad Coach Morriss doesn't suffer this any longer.  RIP big guy.  Ride that Harley to the sky.

    I’ll say one thing about that call with Dave South. You knew by the home crowd sound/reaction what just happened! The professional commentators in the MLB and NFL let the crowd noise “sink in” prior to talking over the play at hand. That was properly responded(quiet) by Dave South - IMO, even though he’s aggy.

    Hook’em!

    I don't think so.  He was speechless.  As he said "I never thought I'd see it".

  7. Never forgive osborne for destroying the best conference in NCAA football at the time.  I think their fans are tolerable, even somewhat admirable, but their administration sucks and I hope they never win another game.  By chance if they do once make it to the B1G CG I hope they lose by 90 points.  Or last second TD.

    Campbell made a bit of cash in the oil boom prior to the bust.

    I haven't agreed with him on everything( Holgorsen) but he damned sure puts his money where his mouth is.  Can't question his love for Tech.

     

    LOLz at UT fan casting aspersions at where the money came from.

    Fuck your PUF fund aided significantly by  WTIC...

     

    Every day, the university system makes about $6 million off that land. Now, UT's crude and natural gas, not fundraising or investing prowess, has positioned the school's endowment to overtake Harvard University's as the richest in US higher education. Read The Big Take.

    Any crowd they got was from visiting power teams like UT, Aggy, Arkansas. It wasn’t enough to usually pay the travel bill. The 50/50 gate split was the catalyst that killed the SWC.

    So big schools drew big full stadiums. The SWC have nots drew shit. The gate split meant Rice would go to Arkansas and take home 50% of 60000. Arkansas goes to Rice for 50% of 6000. Texas, Aggy and ark proposed a near 100% gate for the home team and using TV rev share and bowl money as the only shared rev. Small schools nixed it so those three tried to leave.

    It got so bad that smu proposed their big school games would always be at the big school; basically a home no home set up.

    I don't believe this is correct.  If memory serves the SWC decided before the breakup that home receipts would not be split with visiting teams other than maybe travel expenses.  That was by design to what your report, to keep teams with bigger followings with more money and let the smaller gates like UH, TCU, Baylor suffer.

    Disagree. LSU, Bama, Texas, and aggy bars are packed on gameday. 

    True but not Bama unless they are playing the three others you mentioned.  Bars only count as one or two or three viewers.  It's the folks that stay at home that count.  The City of Houston is like a lot of Texas.  They only watch winners.  Texans attendance has been dwindling but UH never set any records other than Bill Yoeman days.

    Their fans think they out-recruit BAMA, and no one can touch their blazing speed.  

    Their fans are obnoxious and odd.  

    The state itself sucks

    Their rude people make it a shithole

    With their coeds, you might as well be at North Siberia State U

    Their chili spaghetti is a nasty abomination

    Urban Meyer is one more "health scare" from another coaching gig.  

    and they burn couches in Columbus

    What am I missing?

    (Hopefully, I didn't just jinx them into winning the 2018 national championship but I feel I just did, in that case fuck me....)

    Couldn't have said it any better myself.  What a monster collection of garbage.

    U of H won 12 games last year. The Texans won 4. Who do you think dominated Houston's attention? 

    It should improve in the Big 12, but this state goes full SEC the second Texas enters the conference. 

    U of H as a sleeping giant is like me having sex with Ana de Armas. It's technically possible because we're both alive at the same time, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen. 

    It certainly wasn't the UH.  The pros ran NCAA football out of Houston.
