    Yeah more shots of them and less of the stands where it is clear CA is still made up of 75% Marxist virtue signalers who are to skeered to go to a game.

    It's a 100k seat stadium outdoors.  The Rams had a packed house for their indoor preseason game.  I think you're reading way into things.  They just don't want to go see UCLA.

  2. I for one got tired of seeing season after season focusing on guys who will never play a down of an actual game. It was the same every season and it wasn't that compelling.

    Plus they lost that storyline once they changed the rules and let teams hold more guys and cut everyone at once.  Hard Knocks would have a different scene of guys getting cut every week. Can't do that now.

    2. a playoff appearance in the past two seasons (Ravens, 49ers, Chiefs, Packers, Patriots, Saints, Texans, Eagles, Bills, Seahawks, Titans, Vikings, Steelers, Washington Football Team, Buccaneers, Browns, Rams, Colts and Bears);
    3. an appearance on “Hard Knocks” over the past 10 years (Dolphins, Bengals, Raiders and Chargers).

    That means only five teams are eligible for for 2021 duty: the Arizona Cardinals, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and New York Giants.

    Edit: nevermind. My bad.

    In my honest opinion.  I think UCLA needs to go back to the uniform design they wore from 1996 - 2001 with the very light sky blue and old-fashioned font on the numbers/names.  Those were classic!

    I kinda always felt like those just didn't match.  The UCLA on the helmet didn't match the Jersey and the outline on the numbers seemed random. And then they wore a totally different shade of blue on the road.  I think those current Jordan uniforms are an improvement.

    I thought you needed 6 of the 8 to land to dissolve the conference by supermajority. Supermajority being 75% and you still are members til 2025 (on paper fir now at least).

    So if they reach a supermajority, it doesn't matter if the Big 12 continues to exist with other replacements? In regards to buyout?

    No Schmidt I guess.
     

    So based on one website I looked at that's the Yankees 15, 16, 22, and 23rd best prospects.  We couldn't get a top 5 prospect for Gallo?

  7. It would be kind of entertaining to see a hodgepodge Big 12 get a top 4 playoff spot in the new format over the PAC 12. 

    As embarrassing as the Big 12 has been, that conference is more of a joke.  And forging a scheduling agreement with the Big Ten nonconference will only serve to hurt the PAC's chances.

    So you want to give up 20 to 100 years of tradition to see Oxford Mississippi?

    We have more real tradition with OU, Arkansas and A&M than we do with the 8 remaining teams in the Big 12. 

    But yeah... Oxford sounds nicer than Lubbock.

    I take this as good news.  None of the talk of 20 team conferences or conference mergers interest me.

    The move to the SEC works to make more money, win more recruits and have a more appealing home schedule.  It doesn't work if it's one step in being in a conference so big, it loses all value.

  10. I think the most likely pods for competitive balance are....
    West:  Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas
    Central:  Texas A&M, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State
    North:  Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
    East:  Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky

    Assuming each school plays their own pod plus a home/home with 2 schools from each pod, the schedule every four years would look something like this.  If they help A&M out by not putting them in the same pod with us, make Arkansas the Thanksgiving game.

     

    1:  Noncon
    2:  Noncon

    3:  Missouri
    4:  Ole Miss
    5:  Oklahoma
    6:  Tennessee
    7:  Florida
    8:  Noncon
    9:  LSU
    10: Auburn
    11: South Carolina
    12: Arkansas

     

    1:  Noncon
    2:  Noncon

    3:  Missouri
    4:  Mississippi State
    5: Oklahoma
    6:  Vanderbilt
    7:  Georgia
    8:  Noncon
    9:  Texas A&M
    10: Alabama
    11:  Kentucky
    12:  Arkansas

  11. Almost finished.  Not gonna lie, I would have quit a quarter of the way through if I didn't read how stereotypical it was to quit a quarter of the way through.  I'm glad I stick with it because it gets better as it goes and (as others have stated) some parts are definitely leaving an imprint and sticking in my mind.

    Any chance Wes Anderson was influenced by this when he wrote The Royal Tennenbaums?  I see some parallels.
