The copy is equally as hilarious. When I first saw it, it reminded me of the Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video. Priceless.

For those who didn't click through, the article is worth a read. In particular, 2 things: 1 - the pro rata clause with ESPN only covers ESPN - not the ACC Network. 2 - It posits that Stanford could potentially afford, like SMU, to forego revenue distributions for some time period. Cal...

I would expect nothing less from some of our fans. Related: This is exactly the sort of logic that led to us turning down an offer from the Big 10 a few years back. (While I don't like the name change, I also recognize the reality we're in. We have to figure out a way to make up our revenue...

Long post follows, sorry for the brain dump. The above is a great post. I've said for some time that in the expansion discussion, perception is one thing and reality is another. 1st misalignment of perceptions and reality: the assumption that The Big 10 and SEC's revenue is going to break even...

Not sure if that was intended as sarcasm...but after initial skepticism, I do think it rolls off the tongue much better than some of the suggested alternatives amongst fans. "Bobby Dodd Stadium at Historic Grant Field Sponsored By Hyundai" really gives me a headache. :D

^^ This. IIRC, he wavered on his decision of whether to go to the portal. Went in, dropped out of the portal, then ultimately went back in. (Of course, I could be thinking of someone else, as we had some turnover at the time. I’m on mobile and can’t deal with the headache of looking it up right...

And Nebraska, and Colorado. Texas has been a cancer in whatever conference it finds itself. It has an overinflated view of itself, and doesn't care if it screws over the other teams in its conference. When I saw they were going to the SEC, I thought "Oh, this will be fun." Texas is still gonna...

Agreed. As a wise man (John Madden) once said, "Usually the team that scores the most points wins the game."

Not contradicting or specifically agreeing with your post, but it reminded me - UGA fired a pretty successful coach after his 10th double-digit winning season, paid a $4.1MM buyout, and brought in an assistant from Saban’s staff at Alabama who was also an alum. They seem to have done alright...

Man, it was a hot one today. Going to see how well the new strength & conditioning team is doing their jobs, for sure.

As @slugboy pointed out, yep - 4 slots. They foresaw the need to expand to 16, or at least give themselves the space to do so. Pretty strong move. Further interesting downstream consequences: I agree on unequal rev being a bad thing. And yet, that seems to be where certain programs want to...

Tiered payouts seem like a likely thing to come to most conferences, based on stature and other factors. But that aside, I agree with both this and the sentiment you were responding to. That being said, I think we're seeing it confirmed now that it's all in the timing. The Pac 12's extended...

In-person: 1990 Citrus Bowl. (Although oddly, the 1985 All-American Bowl was a second choice. My first bowl game with the Jackets, as a kid. It stands out to me as I started to really understand what being a fan meant, and how awesome that could be). TV: Lots over the years, but gotta be the...

> FIFA has entered the chat. (But otherwise, I agree with most of what you say below.)

Yeah, like others I avoid the chopped up version. I think there's usually a 2-3 hour delay, then the full game is up on WatchESPN.

I also use Youtube TV, and have a decent track record of seeing games from Colorado. Not only that, but I set the unlimited DVR to just record all GT football and basketball games (and heck, all CFB and CBB games) so I can watch whenever I want. As others have said, if the game isn't broadcast...

Looks like Lamprecht finished with a 79 on day 2 after the 66 on day 1, which leaves him currently tied for 67th. 🤞that he doesn't miss the cut by 1 - that would suck.

This. As I've pointed out many times before, there's no way for an algorithm trying to tackle all the CFB teams to reconcile a 5th down sort of event. If they did, Colorado would be a lot lower on the list than us. But IIWII.
