    How is a bunch of players in street clothes, standing around on a practice field with two trophies  and one guy in uniform in any way remotely construed as "gameday simulation"?

     

    It's a simulation of what could of been had Reggie Bush had gotten a few more inches on 4 and 2. I like our chances to again win in reality.

    dang some of y'all have shitty jobs in the suburbs. 

    also, i'm just here to note for the record that during this incredibly average recruiting run we're on, isaiah raikes is going to be a badass dt in college.

    please quote this to me when he transfers not by portal but by freight back to jersey his first semester on campus.

  3. The shit about us paying for UOV is rich coming from the Sooners who have been successfully recruiting the West Coast for several decades. What Cali kid decides to make a visit to OKC/Norman on their own dime? OU obviously knows how the UOV game works and it is easy to point fingers at us now that we too are making in roads in Cali and AZ.

    Aggy crows they have the toughest schedule (awesome!)

    Yet SoCar plays Alabama, georgia, Clemson, Florida, and of course aggy.

    So Carolina is the better team?

    Depends on how close their losses are.

    If aggy runs out of time, does SoCar run out of cocks?

    No, that's the first step in a policy group that tries to build what he calls a "trickle up" economy.

    It's not supposed to replace work at all, which is why it's not more.

    In his research, they landed on that figure for a variety of reasons.

    That's poor recompense for a first step. How about instead making companies that replace workers with automation pay those replaced workers a full pension until Yang comes up with a 'trickle up' plan that doesn't start by pissing on those who had their jobs taken from them.

    We should all be praying and fantasizing of a world where ONeal gets moved to corner. 

    They will get 8+ wins regardless. The few teams with functional offenses or head coaches with IQs higher than 80 will beat them and rest will run the ball 75% of the time, even with 11 aggys in the box.

  7. The thing I 'love' about Yang's UBI shit is that for all his dooming and glooming about our jobs being lost to automation, his solution is to give us $12K a year and act like he is giving us the world! So our government's response to business casting us aside from our jobs that pay us a median of $48K a year, is to replace that with $12K a year and no additional government assistance. Sounds like he selling us an awful dystopia either way.

  9. I think the conferences (especially the SEC and Big 10) are too resilient to let the changing TV landscape be a major disruptor in the near term. Maybe the Big 12 and Pac team up, but then the Big 12 goes from sharing a pot 10 ways to sharing it 22 ways. It could make sharing a pie 16 ways seems better by comparison for teams like Texas and OU. There is also the fact that none of these TV contracts coincide to set up a single 'major college' football media package, or at least without some major disruption. If there is going to be a break, it probably happens if and when players get the right to a more open market on what schools can pay them for their participation.

    There is no math where leaving a 10 team conference makes playoff access easier.  (unless maybe the playoff returned to the BCS 2 which is never going to occur).  

    Really? In an expanded playoff the SEC basically becomes 2 7-team conferences, whose winners almost always get invites. The Big 10 has slightly worse odds with their 9-game conference slate, but they too will likely have 2 teams in the top 8 mostly by dint of not playing a difficult schedule when you miss the best teams in the other division. A 10-team, 9-conference-game Big 12 is going toneed 2 teams that are close to perfect to get both teams in and those 2 teams will have in all likelihood played twice (outside of the odd 2008 scenario). If they split then you have a good chance of getting both in, but if one teams wins both meetings, the second place Big 12 team could stay home in place of another SEC/Big 10 team or two, ND, or another ACC team that gets the benefit of an 8-game conference slate. The other conferences can protect their two division winners in most years without that certain rematch the Big 12 always has in the CCG. Being in a bigger conference, especially as a power team that plays fewer conference games, is an advantage in an expanded playoff.

    The big instability trigger for the Big 12 would be OU not getting a pretty good offer for its Tier 3 content when that gets renegotiated in about a year.  We'll see.  On the flip side, if OU gets a really good offer (particularly if it's from Disney) then the Big 12 can use that offer to help sell someone like Nebraska or USC on Big 12 membership.  If the solo Tier 3 mone is good, then it's safe to move without worrying about taking a big paycut.  Getting either of those two move would also help the Tier 1/2 deal.  

    To the extent that I think the Big 12 actually likes being smaller - and I think the league really does like it - they'd be pretty happy if they could add someone like Nebraska and just stop there.  If that move created a ripple effect that sent WVU to the ACC, then even better.  If 30% of your conference is blue blood, then the per-game money from your media deals will be really good.  NU also gives OU and UT a good in-conference home game.

    If the Big 12 had interest from USC, then there's probably no way to add them without adding a bunch of current PAC teams, too.  But USC moving effectively signals "everyone for themselves" where the PAC 12 is concerned. 

     

    What is the latest on OU's T3 attempts? I know Boren made a big deal about the money, but he also didn't like the fact that OU didn't have a national audience. (Basically, he was pointing out the differences between Texas's and OU's T3 deals.) Under Boren it was a Big 12 network or bust as far as OU was concerned. Is OU going to be content with continuing the financial separation, especially if UT is able to renew the LHN for some decent sum?

    Has OU's position changed with regards to the 9-game conference schedule? You had said that your AD wasn't pleased with the 9-game schedule because OU wanted two OOC P5 home-and-homes while still having 2 patsies to fill out the home schedule. It seems more likely that getting a P5 to move to the Big 12 would mean the need for 2 to go back to the old two 6-team division model and an 8-game conf. schedule. (Though I suppose you could have one 5-team division...) I am not sure where Texas stands on this, but it seems like we were in the group content at 10, while OU seemed to be in the expansion group.
