  1. 11am games draw the best TV numbers. It’s the reason FOX has “big noon” instead of “big Saturday night”
  2. Our regular rotation of OOC games should include: Cupcakes who will cash a check to take a beating at DKR-TMS: UTSA UNT UTEP Rice Texas State (now in the Sunbelt!) and if we need more we can choose from plenty of relatively close schools like La Tech, La Monroe, Tulsa, New Mexico, NM State, etc. Low-end but still brand names, if they're willing to accept 2 for 1's. Wyoming Nevada Fresno St. Purdue Minnesota Oregon St. (they will regress to their mean) Washington St. Boise St. Memphis Tulane (for the away trip mostly) Virginia Indiana Army, Navy, AF Northwestern Rutgers Hawaii High-end brands, home & home: Michigan Ohio St. USC Washington Oregon Penn St. UCLA North Carolina Clemson Florida St. Miami Michigan St. Wisconsin
  3. Wait in instances like this can players transfer in-season? Or can they just enter the portal in anticipation of moving post-season?
  4. Ferentz must have a Mack Brown-Texas Football level hold on that administration. Iowa is a decent brand, maybe they feel like high-floor low-ceiling is their best case and are willing to give the keys over to Kirk to retire on the job while getting his kids paid?
  5. Wait, did Herman ever win 4 in a row?
  6. "...and in the back of the end zone there's Xavier Worthy, diving for the ball...he caught it! Oh but Bob it looks like he landed in the prickly pear patch (sponsored by Deep Eddy) again...yeah he's probably done for the day. Another receiver falls victim to the cacti." We'd make so many great memories
  7. Going negative $25MM YoY means the athletics departments are cutting entire sports at that point. Most of these schools are already subsidizing the AD either with direct transfers or high student fees. It also makes any type of long term planning very difficult or impossible - how do you spent on facilities or fund raise at that point, it's super tough. Same reason the PAC schools turned down Apple's earn-it offering; it's lack of guarantees. On top of all that, the low/no/negative rev sports are typically women's sports so now there's a Title IX issue on top of all of that...
  8. Wonder if he's going to medical RS...year 7 here we go!
  9. Does losing to Army mean that surly is done meatriding Traylor now? There were many posts last season and summer about "I hope we bring in Traylor when Sark inevitably fails" "doing more with less" "just biding his time for Texas to call him up" etc (all paraphrased). Well he just lost to a service academy by 8, at home. That sure as hell ain't our standard.
  10. I'm going to enjoy seeing USC and that fuck Caleb score 10,000 points on these guys.
  11. Is that the squints ref who fucked us on the reg?
  12. As evidenced by your prior take on PK, agreed.
  13. Slow brained isn't always about the people. Sometimes it is. It's also about not having to think and process and react as much because the formations, calls, alignments, etc have changed every year with a different DC. Just having that consistency makes the same player look smarter and faster. "A bad plan executed well is better than a good plan with shit execution."
  14. Art Briles is a stain on humanity. You can tell he's been poking his disgusting face around looking to see if the fervor has quieted down enough for him to return to society, and after that maybe even to coaching a power CFB program. I'm happy that even the inbred fuckers from OU gave him the stiff arm, that's gotta sting. DIAF.
  15. Sark's best game he's called at Texas. Kept Bama off balance, adjusted after the half. Stayed aggressive even when we brainfarted a few times. Managed the clock well. Could have been 50 points if our receivers caught everything.
  16. Good article with some fun background info. Thanks
  17. Pretty funny line there about “what about all the coaches who aren’t his ex assistants? What’s their record?” …I mean Saban is the GOAT, what else can you say? Not only does he rarely screw up, he has a talent advantage versus almost everyone.
  18. One of my friend's son attends the University of Puget Sound. He's a sophomore, plays football there. So far likes it and the photos of campus have been beautiful. But, it's a tiny tiny school compared to others on this list, so your daughter would really want to have the small school experience, which is not for everyone.
  19. Unsurprising about CoB. Also was $500MM the cost of the retrofit? That might buy one-eigth of a new stadium construction in Cali... For reference: https://www.constructiondive.com/news/the-super-bowls-most-recent-stadiums-and-how-much-it-cost-to-build-them/642348/#:~:text=SoFi Stadium cost %245.5 billion,events like the Super Bowl.
  20. WTF are you talking about? Texas/aggy and TX/arky are both coming back starting in '24. And oh BTW in the time since those rivalries had stopped being played each year I think that CFB has done kinda OK.
  21. Fan? If I'm an Iowa fan I'm thrilled to have roadtrips Seattle and the PNW vs. recognizable brands in UW and UO. The Iowa Athletic Dept? I guess it depends on how this changes their cut.
  22. In the modern realignment era have schools been processed out? Seems like the new way to do that is for the biggest fish to break away and leave the small fish in the carcass of the old conference.
  23. It's mostly the BYU contingent here that is staying Utah is the worst thing ever. That's...expected? Everyone thinks their rivals are the worst thing ever and toss puppies into bonfires while laughing (except for OU, where they actually do that). Turn this around from the Utah perspective and I have empathy...the PAC brought them up to the big leagues. They've built themselves up as a legit power there and won it twice in a row now, taking down the likes of USC. If I were them I'd want things to remain the same too. They'll be fine in the Big12 and that's probably where they culturally belong anyway.
