  1. South Carolina's Ashlyn Watkins, who tore her ACL last year and missed most of the year, is also taking off 2025-26. So Dawn will not have one of her star players
  2. Sir, those are America's foremost thought leaders
  3. If they don't want to be found naked, what's with the slitting your wrists in the bathtub thing?
  4. I don’t disagree on that. But if for some reason KU was ever going to leave the Big 12, that was the logical landing point because the B1G and SEC don’t want to dilute their football brands with a mid program with few accomplishments. The Big 12 should absolutely own their status as the premier MBB conference instead of trying to force their way into the CFB adult table
  5. For free, you say? Hi, friend!
  6. Some Academy snippets: https://ew.com/star-trek-starfleet-academy-first-look-photos-paul-giamatti-alien-exclusive-11778305 Sounds pretty episodic / hijinks of the week Also will include some sort of 32nd century Klingon hybrid - might be Paul Giamatti's character As seen in EW's exclusive first look at the show, the latest Trek entry is set in the 32nd century and revolves around the first class of Starfleet cadets at the academy after 120 years. "They've got a lot riding on their shoulders, and they are meant to reestablish and rebuild everything that we all know and love about Star Trek," Kurtzman continues. "They convey hope and they search for hope, and that felt like an extremely relevant message to talk about now." Landau adds, "It's wish fulfillment. Every week it's about a new part of coming of age. One week that can be a prank, war erupts another week, a romance begins another week, we encounter an alien species for the first time and we don't know what the hell we're doing [another week]. But at the end of every episode, what we want our audience to feel is, 'I want to go to Starfleet Academy.' Even in the deepest, darkest depths of character problems and drama, you get such a good feeling from watching this show [of] how much you want to be there so badly."
  7. The big thing is that somebody (TV, I guess) is offering up more money to put the game somewhere neutral, for bigger attendance, which means more profit, than a home game. Feels like 80% of the time when these big non-conf matchups get announced, it's immediately designated at a neutral site. I will give UConn some credit - Hartford is at least close to Storrs (35 min) and Boston and MSG are pretty easy to get to from Connecticut (1.5 hours to Boston and 3.5 to NYC) Gampel (UConn's home arena) seats 10k XL is 16k MSG is 19,500 TD Garden is also 19,500 Tournaments, like Maui, Players Era and Champions Classic, are different, they are almost always somewhere neutral. But the one-off or two-year non-conf matchups are going more and more neutral site. Lastly, Moody isn't yet a big name place to play, at least in terms of reputation. Teams want to play at Allen Fieldhouse, Cameron Indoor, the Dean Smith Center, Rupp, etc. because they are prestigious and hallowed.
  8. Peak male athlete (for a 35-year old beer league softball player)
  9. SCOTUS: That law is illegal now, sorry.
  10. As soon as UT and aggy cut the automatic acceptance of 10% kids, they immediately became a target for SEC schools wanting to gobble these kids up by offering easier admissions and good football programs, and for parents, substantial out of state financial packages so they didn't have to go bankrupt to send their kids to SMU, TCU or Baylor Nobody serious cares about UH and Tech.
  11. Maybe he thought he was transferring to The University of Austin
  12. Big name OOC matchups keep getting “neutral” matchups instead of home games
  13. Or from Cody Campbell and Tommy Tuberville
  14. It’s already out
  15. One party believes its fundamental infrastructure like electricity or water Another thinks it’s for an autistic billionaire to control
  16. The problem is one person cannot change or “fix” it by executive fiat. We are much better off discussing SCORE and whatever else Congress is working on, because the courts have basically said it’s for Congress to handle with a law.
  17. Isn’t that up to the conference members to decide?
  18. Why? It is directly related to college football. The current admin is trying to meddle in the sport, wrongly and incompetently. Last I checked, this forum was called FOOTBALL.
  19. Theater of the absurd. Just unserious people
  20. You give him way too much credit for a symbolic nothingness.
  21. Texas - Dad's alma mater, dad's current job Tennessee - Dad's mentor that you probably grew up around
  22. And they ain't bad - 3 runner up finishes and a couple of fourth place finishes. In 9 seasons of it being an NCAA sport.
