  1. Well, I'm convinced. The B1G should definitely take them.
  2. Maybe some but not nearly enough. Miami had to take money from their med school recently to cover an athletic deficit. So it looks like you went back 20 years to find one example of a year that they had decent draw. I'm not sure that's proving the point you think it is.
  3. Let's not confuse Miami today with 40 years ago. Miami doesn't draw even 70k during good seasons. Their last good season they did pull in a couple of games where they claimed mid-60s but you could see 10k empty seats in the stands. And that's when they had somehow managed to get into the top 5. Maybe when Notre Dame or FSU comes to town, they will have legit 65k because the other school takes 25k tickets. The other half of the winning season schedule, they are claiming 45-50k attendance but it's a half empty stadium.
  4. I see you both have completely opposite opinions of the softball pitcher look.
  5. Feels like the bubble is really close to popping when they are still pushing the idea of selling ads based on the size of the market rather than if anyone is actually watching them. It's like how they keep bringing up Miami as an expansion option. Sure they have no fanbase. Sure no one in Miami watches them. But Miami is a big market and we can sell ads like the first 2 sentences weren't true.
  6. When life gives you pineapples, make tepache.
  7. I wonder if I should warn gatormarcette.
  8. Well, shit. I gave our new neighbor some fresh pineapple from the yard the other day as a welcome gift.
  9. It's funny and sad after this many years, you still have casual fans who are like "this is ridiculous, I could realign better than this" and then they get about 60% done with their own "perfect" realignment concept and then just start throwing shit against the wall. But rather than just going "oh" they fucking post it to the Internet.
  10. I can appreciate Clemson wanting to get out what with all of the discussion of adding west coast teams to the ACC. Better to go to the B1G where they won't have to travel as far.
  11. Makes sense. I was really surprised how quickly they started cutting.
  12. It's on the list of National Historic Places. I wonder if it would have been near impossible to tear down. Also, is there a legit place it could have moved to?
  13. Drive to norman, AND spend 8-9 hours to do so? I think I'd rather blow some guy in an alley. I bet you can do that in Norman.
  14. One year of COVID really showed how much of a no-win situation we were in. Our former AD, Jeremy Foley, was extremely tight when it came to finances. He seemed to think (or at least I got the impression) that a bubble was happening and that all these schools taking $100+M loans were going to get it bad once it popped. Our facilities across the board were improved but at a more modest pace. But eventually he retired. We're at the end of a $300M facilities upgrade and now with another $400M for the football stadium announced. You basically have to spend big now if you want to win. But that means those at the bottom are uber fucked when shit hits the fan.
  15. Well, you would obviously go in the Coastal division.
  16. One small piece of white tape and it kinda says ACAB
  17. Nice of Northwestern to confirm to everyone that it's an institution wide cultural issue.
  18. Stanford already competes in a lot of sports outside of the Pac12. I guess those would stay Independent or in the MPSF or other oddball conference. Taking a quick glance at sports that would need to change. Men's Fencing, Women's Fencing, Women's Field Hockey - those were not PAC sports but are ACC sports so Stanford would move those sports to their new conference Men's Rowing, Women's Beach Volleyball - those were PAC sports but not ACC; Probably EARC for Rowing, CCSA for Beach Volleyball
  19. I have an irrational hate for Equestrian because several SEC schools changed course and added that rather than Women's Lacrosse, sticking us in the AAC.
  20. Do they get to keep all of the NCAA basketball credits?
  21. Edit: too slow.
  22. Finally. I was wondering when they'd start talking about gambling on ESPN.
  23. Access Hollywood? lol
  24. I think my point is that it doesn't have to be a big deal for the University to try to sell it as a reason to mingle with other smart young people with money.
