In five games that we've played each other, your lone win was by 1 pt at home, a total fluke after our defense wilted in the Texas heat.  The other four have been dominant BYU victories.  One thing our program does is play to the level of our competition.  We will play down to our competition, but we'll also play up to our competition when we have a chip on our shoulders.  This team won't be fucking around on 10/28.

So Tech vs UH got 3% of the viewership of Texas vs Kansas?

That disparity is incredible.

 

Tech is having a really bad season. Even when Coog High is having a really good season Houston doesn’t care. And, they suck. The apathy on both sides is astounding, but, 3% of a mostly non-competitive game - I don’t care if it’s UT-Michigan - is fucking weird. Tech is ginormous.

Seriously, something is happening. I remember, in 1995, when the program had an upswing after a decade in the doldrums, everyone was surprised at the demand for Texas Football- viewership, tickets, t shirts, loot. It was enough to launch a network!

If we’re on another upswing, we will show everyone which one of OUT was the desirable one, which one is “USC” and which is “UCLA”. it’s hard to imagine a dramatic increase in demand for Longhorn football, but…get ready for a dramatic increase in demand for Longhorn football. 
 
My fear is that the IR8 and Yormark can see the avalanche coming and use their influence for the rest of the season to put on some brakes.

Arizona and ASU on PAC 12 Network (unrated)

K State and Oklahoma St BYE

ESPN should be pretty damned concerned with that Cincy-BYU number. BYU is supposed to have a built in 1 million viewers. 200k casual viewers ain’t good. If they can’t make that Friday night game work, WTF did they pay for?

That Coug High-Tech number is so pathetic, I don’t even know where to begin.

Gotta have something on the TV so you know where you are when you wake up.

I guess when they all gather around the one trailer with TV, it skews the numbers.

Iowa st and k state are skipping their bowl games. They’re Notre dame now!!

And Yormark is fining them $500,000 each, as he should. 
 

This is bad for the conference. Reduces exposure and payouts. Plus both of these teams could benefit from playing bowls and neither had any hope of a playoff chance, so there’s no reason to not play a bowl game. 
 

Extremely short-sighted on their part. Glad the Big12 is punishing them for it.

Agreed, two programs that very much need the conference, have coaches, and are costing the other members of the conference money.

 

Seriously if you are Klein or Rodgers you and your new staff wouldn't get anything out of 3 weeks of practice and scrimmage film?

There are probably 5 programs in the country that are satisfied with the status of college football in general. And one of those is Tech. 

i the last couple of years they’ve subtracted Texas and OU and added Cody Campbell. No reason they can’t win the conference every damn year. Maybe TCU can compete? But, they will win it and go to the playoffs because as the OP points out, the Big 12 is fucking awful.

I legit do not understand how it is beneficial to skip your bowl game. The extra practices alone make it worth it.

The extra practices you get from a Cheese-Dick bowl game isn't gonna make a team tangibly better the following season.

but it will help with the final rankings and the rankings to start the next season

sure everyone knows that some teams will be coming to the game with 40 players suited up these days, but that win to end it all helps you start the next season ranked higher.....and that helps the whole conference

We don’t have a big money donor like Tech has, but ASU should never finish worse than 2nd or 3rd each season in this conference if our QB, whoever that is each season, stays healthy. We’re the only school in the entire conference located in an area people actually want to live in. Overall the conference is just a mess though when you have one school being bankrolled to relevance with 12 or 13 schools that will never be able to compete financially. I’m glad ASU has the best coach in the conference, by far, but he’ll still need some financial backing to make it work every season.

I assumed these teams declined because there were so many kids who portaled that they were afraid they wouldn’t have enough to play.

And both coaches are leaving/have left.

I'd live in Denver, SLC, DFW, most likely Houston, and possibly even Cincinnati before moving to Phoenix. Orlando would likely be a toss-up.

Have you ever spent much time there? It's a hot-as-balls hellscape of desert sprawl with no soul that shouldn't exist except for the dwindling water supply that has to be imported in from the (other) Colorado River even to make it liveable. Plus, their Mexican food fucking sucks.

Why did Sam Leavitt decide to leave ASU? Do you have any intel?

Did ASU decide not to compete with Auburn or whoever is vying for his services?

Tucson is like over a hundred miles from Phoenix man. Granted its got heat, but its a real different vibe than Phoenix as a big college city.

Yeah, Tucson seems alright, though I haven't spent much time there, just passing through. But I've got family in and around Phoenix, so I've been there quite a bit over the last four decades.

I've only spent a 4-5 days in Kansas City for a conference a few years ago, and the downtown area wasn't bad at all, and I've heard Lawrence is a nice little college town.

Mostly, I'm just taking issue with the statement that Arizona State "is the only school in the entire conference located in an area people actually want to live in." It's just a patently false assessment.

I can't speak to Des Moines/Ames, Manhattan, Morgantown, or Stillwater (OKC isn't so terrible, though, but Tulsa's actually okay) so no judgment against them until I see/experience them.

I like Tempe / Mesa, which is where ASU is. Yeah, it's hot but doesn't feel like Houston ball sweat. It's just hot. I've only stopped for gas in Tucson. It looks like it can either be a cool city or a giant meth lab. Maybe both.

Des Moines is quaint, but duck that winter at all costs.

Manhattan and Lawrence are just Midwest towns. Lawrence isn't terrible and it's not too far from KCMO if you need some city. KCMO is cool. I've had plenty of fun there over the last 30 years.

Never stepped foot in Stillwater or Morgantown, but I've been in Oklahoma and WV enough to know I'm not trying to spend much time in either place.
