  1. I find your ideals fascinating, can I subscribe to your newsletter?
  2. 75% of D1 coaches would be great with the right assistants
  3. Talk about highs and lows. This guy has seen it all. He got injured and lost his starting position at USC and bounced. Got injured and lost his starting position at Georgia. Entered portal when Bennett announced he was coming back for '22. Starts a half season for a really bad WVU team. Now at Rice.
  4. Sounds very aggy-esque.
  5. Anyone that would hire a position coach that is a year removed from high school, to run a P5 program, should have their nuts kicked repeatedly.
  6. I agree. Not sure how else that post could have been interpreted.
  7. Some guys are just better suited as position coaches or coordinators. Mike Singletary comes to mind. He did a good job as LB Coach for the Ravens and I'm sure he would have made an excellent DC if he had ever done that. As far as HC, well... he didn't have the right temperament for that.
  8. Of course. They have shit football and a lot of people love watching that shit football
  9. For a conference that blows as much as the Big 10, they have a great TV deal. I guess people have nothing else to do in the N/NE except ice fish, argue over whether coors light or bud light is better and watch bad football.
  10. Saltine crackers are rather boring
  11. How many players at ISU have been booted due to gambling? initially I thought it was just a couple dudes but seems like more keep dropping each week.
  12. Didn't read farting dreamers take but my definition of top heavy is when a conference is dominated by just a few teams (or fewer), over a decent number of years. I think 10 years works well. By that definition: ACC = Top heavy (Clemson) Big 12 = Was top heavy (OU) Big 10 = Top heavy (OH ST. But I'll give Michigan a mention but only due to recency. They were crap from 2005-2020) SEC = Top heavy (Alabama and Georgia) PAC = Not top heavy. They have had 5 different champs the past 10 years.
  13. Was he your prison cell mate in Big Spring?
  14. If we look at on-the-field results, Stanford was 1-8 last year, tied with Colorado for last place in the PAC. Historically, they are bottom half. Historically, TCU is average in the Big 12. With OU gone, the Big 12 is going to be a tossup going forward. I will enjoy watching over the next 7-10 years to see if a couple of programs can consistently stay a the top.
  15. No one cares about the debate team at Stanford or Oregon State's rowing team. USC's value has dropped considerably since 2007, due to lack of success. In some ways Oregon, UW and Stanford pick up that slack and increased their values. However, the PAC 10/12 would always have the most value if it's best team won MNC's and that best team was USC. Partly due to the history of the program and partly due to the fact it is in the #2 media market in the US. Not saying that having MNC's from other programs would not increase the PAC 12 media negotiation leverage, but the peak value would be with USC.
  16. I didn't know Dallas still had a team?
  17. 12 years? Aside from the Aaron Rogers / Beastmode era, Cal sucked prior to 12 years ago, too. Keeping Shaw didn't make Stanford irrelevant. Having an administration that prioritizes education over football + the new transfer portal rules, made Stanford irrelevant. They have had exactly 1 undergrad transfer during the Transfer Portal era and 4 or 5 total transfers since 2015. That makes it nearly impossible to compete with schools than can just plug in guys from other schools. Plus, they don't bend the academic rules like 95% of the football programs out there. If you can ball, having a 900 SAT and majoring in finger painting can get you into USC. Not Stanford. Stanford and Cal were minor players at best. The PAC failed because its' most valuable program, USC, had not won an MNC in nearly 2 decades, which devalued the appeal of the PAC. Oregon, while better on the field, is worth far less from a media rights standpoint and they couldn't get it done either. Another way to say that, is that since USC has sucked for +14 years, they devalued the PAC and ended up leaving because of it. Kind of like shitting in your own bed and then finding somewhere else to lay down.
  18. Absolutely. It makes zero sense for them to equal shares. It's all conjecture though, we really don't know what the motivation(s) are behind this lawsuit. I won't be thinking about it again until the lawsuit is resolved and that resolution hits the media.
  19. Yeah its all hard to figure out. My two guesses 1. For some reason he saw the gross earnings of the movie and figured he was getting screwed by someone 2. He got pissed about how the family 'cut' the proceeds from the movie. I have yet to see what the total is for that. If we say 9k per member per year on average, for 12 years, that is $540k.
  20. I don't think oher was portrayed to be dumb so much as the actor cast to play him was dumb. To be fair, how many giant high school-age kids (or early 20s) are you going to find for a role like this?
