Not blowing it off. Just pointing out that coaches move around and Saban was not an SEC guy until he was. Texas has already shown that they can handle the rigor and I suspect Oklahoma will be ok too.
I would have to go back and check (too lazy so probably won’t) but didn’t both Southern Cal and Notre Dame hold their own in Tuscaloosa’s humidity?
Well, two things and I know SOWEGA is going to explode.
I don’t have it handy. But I’ve been to games as a spectator and it was rough. Would be good to get the dates … maybe they did?
Bosworth is another example of what I was referring to in my other post. Being a great college player and being NFL material are not the same thing even though they overlap in the Venn diagram. As you are well aware, I’m sure, for decades they referred to the “Heisman curse” because of the high numbers of winners who couldn’t cut it in the NFL.
Humidity averages 74% in September. Bama beat USC 52-6.Bosworth is another example of what I was referring to in my other post.

I don’t think humidity determines how well an NFL draft pick does not how good a conference is.
Yeah… the NFL detected dehydration in Boz’s urine tests. That had to be it.Bosworth is another example of what I was referring to in my other post.

You are not making bad points, and you are helping the conversation, just don’t get too far out over your skies.

USC 42-24 in Birmingham. Humidity must have been low that day.
I get it and nothing makes me explode anymore because we all have seen it all. Who would have thunk that UGA would have an engineering program all so they could recruit against GT. It worked as they went back to back. And the Governor and Legislature love it.
Nope.Was this not it?

As I recall, the ACC had total subscribers of 46 million last year vs. 48 million for the SEC. The ACCN itself is doing what it was supposed to do. I still think you need to evaluate the combination of both ND and the ACCN to get the true picture of the ACC vs the other P2 conferences, at least, an indirect comparison."From a revenue and a sales standpoint, I would say it's exceeded our expectations. I would say it is extraordinarily successful."
ACC Network, turning 5, delivers revenue, exposure boost for league :: WRALSportsFan.com
It took a long time for the ACC to get its prestige network, which launched on Aug. 22, 2019. The network has brought in additional revenue and exposure for the league. What it has not done is brought stability.
Finebaum was a columnist for the Post-Herald while I was living in Bham. I liked his writing and his perspective. I and my running buddies talked about his columns on our lunchtime runs, so his opinions were edgy even then. He has become more of a homer for the SEC than I like, but he is still very effective at what he does.
Personally, I don't like Finebaum very much. He is part of the current ESPN trend of "argumentary" programming that does not appeal to me. These days, I tune in to ESPN for the games I want to watch, but turn it off for everything else.
