    Many have aggy in the Top 10, but I've set their over/under at 3.5 losses leaning towards 8-4 at best. They always regress to their historical mean.

    kyle is a fucking savage. i love him.

      Since Saban got there he has landed 58 5 star recruits. To put that in perspective we have just 22 over that same time period.

     

      Mack got lazy on the recruiting trail and didn't do the homework on the recruits he was getting. So we were landing guys that did not fit our system, or were over-hyped in the first place. Look at some of these names.

     How many of these dudes were complete misses? Now think of how that hurt us when we failed to grow them and then we walked back into those same schools to look at another guy? So we had to do something to get our rep back and level the playing field.

    im sorry are you putting Bijan in a group of complete misses?

    Still not sure what a scheduling alliance accomplishes. But this says they don't want the Big 12 teams which ain't good for us

    its not so much about scheduling as it is about voting to keep the SEC from getting what they want on everything.

    And we still haven’t recovered because he stayed here too long.
     

    Mack made himself bigger than the program and we are still paying the price. People who allowed him to do that bear much of the blame. He absolutely deserves major criticism. He is the one who decided he was entitled to give 60% effort for several years at the University of Texas. We pay entirely too much money for that. And some of you still don’t get it, 15 years after he started to mail it in. 

    we havent recovered because nobody has been as good.  Mac is a top 5 coach of the 2000's. we havnt had anyone since that can sniff his jock.

    Iowa State has worked hard to get better. I like them. Glad they're likely to find a good spot.

    I think it's odd of the PAC 10 to claim "strategic" thinking and wanting to think big. Okie State would have a winning record every year in that conference and develop nice state rivalries with the Arizona schools. Texas Tech is a middling school. TCU has been good enough to whip our ass. 

    There may be a few big fish available, but the Pac doesn't have any reason to believe they'll attract Notre Dame, FSU or Clemson. 

    I know about their attitude about scholarship and private religious schools. They should just say that instead of acting like they've got some big move up their sleeves. They seem to be way behind on this one.

    thats a fake account

     

  6. “If we add teams just to try to keep up with somebody else but those teams don’t grow our revenue base, do we really need to add them,’’

    “What the SEC has done is unify the other conferences in a way that nothing else could have, in terms of working together,” Schulz told the Hotline.

    “A lot of people now are very concerned about the predatory nature of the SEC. More presidents are talking. There’s a lot of back and forth.”

    The SEC declined to comment on Schulz’s remark.

    Since news broke last month of Texas and Oklahoma jumping to the SEC, Schulz has spoken to numerous university presidents — both inside and outside the Pac-12 — about potential responses in various regions and leagues.

    “I sensed that in the aftermath of the announcement, there was some panic,’’ he said. “But I don’t think that’s the case any longer.

    “I have talked to presidents around the country, and what I’ve found is that people are taking a step back and taking a deep breath. They’re saying, ‘Let’s not rush into it and make a hasty judgment.’

    “Nobody is on a deadline. At the same time, we don’t want to have our head in the sand and just see where everything is one year later and hope it worked out for the best.”

    Schulz learned from his tenure at Kansas State that internal alignment is essential for any conference during an expansion wave.

    “You have got to hold serve at home and make sure all the current members feel good about the conference financially and the direction it’s headed,’’ he said. “You can’t have death by 1,000 cuts, where you lose one member here, and then another there.”

    When asked specifically whether the Pac-12’s current membership is satisfied, Schulz said:

    “People are saying they like the affiliation that we all have geographically and from the standpoint of being research institutions. All the conversations I’ve had have been really positive, that this is a good footprint. But we need to ask ourselves where we’ll be as a conference in five years.”

    For that reason, Schulz reached out to new Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff to offer advice in the wake of the Texas and Oklahoma news.

    “I called George and told him that I’ve been through it before. I wanted to make sure we weren’t sitting on the sideline. And he said, ‘I have six options for us.’

    “He’s thinking deeply about these things. Should we be in the acquisition mode? Should we look to add members? Should they be football-only members? Should we consider a schedule alliance?

    “I am so glad George is at the helm. We’re not resting on our laurels. He’s looking at options and what we can do to maximize our football brand. He’s the right leader at the right time.”
