  1. Koppe Sports Network Coast to Coast! (after the earthquake)
  2. Was just perusing an Arizona board, they're still pissed about having hired Mackovic and Sumlin.
  3. Do they have 7-11's in LA? (Asking for UH) For youngsters: The day the Houston and Boston College teams got to Dallas, a quote from an anonymous Cotton Bowl official appeared in a local newspaper saying that half the University of Houston students would be eating at the city's 7-11 stores, and the other half would be robbing them. https://www.upi.com/Archives/1985/01/03/Repercussions-from-this-years-Cotton-Bowl-the-49th/4976473576400/
  4. Gotdam, buy some paragraph breaks from Vanna!
  5. Lots of rumors, including from Wilner, that USC may have requested the FOXb1g NOT add Oregon. Would prefer they and UCLA be an island, in part for recruiting reasons. No idea on the accuracy, but it's out there. While the athletes will certainly spend more time on planes, it should be a net neutral to maybe even a slight improvement for the average of how late they arrive back home. The 2 hour earlier difference for central time zone schools, which would be the sizeable majority of their schedules, more than makes up for the extra miles when compared to the WA, OR, and CO schools (and for much of the Spring and Fall AZ is on Pac time). Longer flights, but games ending 2 hours earlier.
  6. If the B1G succeeds in luring ND and taking some ACC schools, our schedule would likely have been pretty good had we gone north. Say it had ended up at 24, with USC, UCLA, ND, us, OU, UNC, UVA, GT, MIA, and Stanford. Or maybe with the star power and pay boost of adding USC, ND, us and OU, they also are able to lure FSU and Clemson instead of MIA and Stan. We probably end up playing OU and Neb every year, and more from the newcomers than the traditional B10 schools. Thus mostly south and west games. FOX is probably going to go NFL style and have the blue bloods play each other more frequently than a balanced rotation would, so most years we'd play ND, USC, and a Florida school. Ohio St, Mich, and Penn St far more than Purdue or Minnesota. If USC and UCLA ended up the only PAC additions to the B1G, we'd play them every year. So a yearly game in SoCal and a home slate every year of USC/UCLA, Neb every other year, 1 of Ohio St/Mich/Penn St, 1 of FSU/Clem/ND, and probably 1 of Wisc/UNC on the years we are at Neb. At least 4 good names at home every year. I'd rather play that schedule, but the travel remains better in the SEC, and more importantly, I don't think the B1G can add enough blue bloods and star programs to eliminate the recruiting advantage of playing in the SEC. BTW, I've heard on ESPN and seen several of the college reporters on Twitter say this week that the AAU is a factor but not a requirement for the FOXb1g. Hence schools like Mia, Clemson, VT, and maybe FSU would have a shot. This is creating an AFC/NFC now.
  7. Time to send home the Los Angeles Strikeout Kings of Anaheim.
  8. I gave you a plus, so no need to call Iceman.
  9. On my couch I bet it's a 70's watercouch
  10. Last year: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29892165/san-diego-state-play-2021-home-football-games-dignity-health-sports-park-carson-california San Diego State to play 2021 home football games at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California ...Tuesday's announcement notably said the Aztecs would play a spring season at Dignity Health Sports Park, home to the LA Galaxy of Major League Soccer and the former temporary home of the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers.... A pattern is emerging...
  11. Wasn't clear on the broadcast, did Uran's group catch back up down the bridge totally on their own, or did the peloton slow to allow them back in? Got a Talladega, but bummed that we won't have Adam Blythe's humor on the motorbike.
  12. Looking forward to cobblestones and Allez opi omi.
  13. Also swaim, a few days before UH was confirmed: @GSwaim Replying to @GSwaim After Tuesday's #Big 12 meeting, #BYU, #Bearcats, #UCF and #BoisesState may well be the four teams invited, as we've mentioned before that Houston and SMU are likely out.
  14. I've been thinking about all that late night travel for USC and UCLA athletes, now that 14 of their 15 opponents will be 2 to 5 hour flights away. With this new money they could open up athletes only USC-O'Hare & UCLA-Midway campuses and just shuttle in and out of there.
  15. He hit that one to Meyersland Plaza.
