    He finds it ironic that OU fans, mere months after the school ditched the Big 12 for the Southeastern Conference in clandestine fashion, could fault a coach for switching schools.

    “Can’t criticize one without looking at the other,” he says.

     

    This is a valid point lol

    Big 12 will be relegated not long after. ... They are not going to get much respect and are not going to be chosen over teams from other conferences to get in. Big 12 will easily be the weakest of the P5's

    The P12 and ACC will be better than the Big 12? The new Big 12 has 5 of the current top 16 (AP) teams in it. BYU beat the P12 champs (and 4 other P12 teams). Cinci will be in the playoffs this year.  ???

    Heard an interview with someone who knows USC and Pac-12 football.  He thought Riley would do great but then went "Not So Fast My Friends."

    Said the current talent level is complete dogshit.  Everyone knew for years Helton was gone so no one went there.  Also said the S&C is even worse and the OL and DL is just awful.  Said Riley will have to actually build a culture and a program, which is something he didn't do at OU.  In fact, you can make the case they got slightly worse.  Said he thought they'd get a lot of transfers and such but winning even the Pac-12 might be 2-3 years away.

    Considering Riley brought OU's S&C coach with him, that's not a good sign.

    USC has a talented QB ready to go, tho

    So one of them cheated. Sounds like the wife, lol. Lucky for him, chicks dig dudes with money and he’s got plenty.

    Doubtful. Slightly awkward, out-of-the-blue moves are kind of on brand for him.

    I live in Oregon, where a Cuban guy is the current coach of the Oregon Ducks.  And while the Latino population here is growing, you cannot really confuse this place with California, Texas, or Florida.  Whatever issues people have here with Cristobal happen to be, his "cultural fit" apparently isn't one of them.

     

    You ever been to Hillsburrito, I mean Hillsboro?

  6. Congrats to Baylor. You showed as a talented, well-coached team. You were definitely the better team today and deserved the win. Also, appreciate the warm welcome to the Big 12 given today (off the field). Classy stuff.

    Why does BYU have 2 different shades of blue?

    No good reason. Historically, there have actually been more than 2 shades. Late 1800s the school adopted blue and white as official school colors. Original color was a light blue ("Columbia blue"). A few lighter, brighter shades were seen in the early years. 1950s-60s navy was used. In the 70s, royal blue was adopted. BYU noticed that fans weren't really wearing the school colors much (especially compared to other schools) and the BYU fans in the stands looked like a bowl of "skittles". So, in the early 2000s we let a market research team tell us what to do and they said go navy because people have navy stuff already and more of them will wear it to games (lots of cheap BYU fans unwilling to buy royal stuff didn't help). It worked, as far as getting more people wearing school colors to games, but fans missed the unique royal color and its association with BYU success in the 80s and early 90s (national championship, heisman trophy, top 25 finishes, LaVell Edwards, etc.). Soon after Kalani became head coach he pushed royal because of aforementioned and to signal a return to greatness and brighter future.

    BYU going all-navy vs Boise State on Saturday afternoon (ABC).  

     

    I love royal blue the most, but these all navy are so clean.

    Yeah, you look great when you hand yourself every win down the stretch.

    SoS doesn't matter if you don't win out. And the P12 is pretty demonstrably terrible so far.

    You struggled with USF. USF is dogshit. The only reason they are sort of hanging with SMU right now is because SMU is down its most important skill position player. 

    Cincy is going to obliterate that team. 

    IF both BYU and Cincy win out and go undefeated, then I think BYU should be ranked higher than Cincy. Cincy had a nice win today, no doubt, but BYU's schedule is significantly tougher. Are you arguing Cincy has a tougher schedule?

    Re: USF: Struggled? Nah. It was 28-6 at the half and BYU let their foot off the gas. We let them back in and didn't crush them, but we took care of business. Kalani isn't really a style points kind of guy (but maybe he should be). His MO is to just grind it out down the stretch, run out the clock, protect the lead, and get the win.

    Ahem. If BYU wins out (still a big if), we will have a better resume. Cinci will have beat ND and Indiana. BYU will have beat 5 P12 teams including ranked Utah, ranked ASU, and USC; will have beat Virginia, possibly ranked Baylor, Boise State, and some others.

    -BYU has a better Pac 12 conference record (3-0) this year than anyone in the conference. "That's a bullshit stat since the conference teams haven't played each other 3 times yet." Fair, but there are only 6 conference teams undefeated in conference so far, and 4 of those teams play each other this weekend. BYU still has Wazzou and USC left on their schedule. They have a pretty freaking great chance of going 5-0 in the Pac 12 on the season, which speaks to either their legitimacy as a top 15 program or the futility of the Pac 12, or maybe both.

    I love this for many reasons, but doing this at the same time as getting an invite to the B12 after being snubbed by the P12 for many years is extra fun.

    Like the complements, but what else are they going to say?

    Also, Gundy: “We hit a home run. ... And you’ve solidified this league until things start to change after the 2024 season with media rights across the country.” Wait, wut? So, not stable after 2024? 🤨
