  1. Nebraska would absolutely be better off in the Big 12, outside of having a smaller TV paycheck. And given their fan support, I'm not sure that said money is really helping them win anything. They raise enough money to cover that gap with a lot of other programs, and like you said they'd be playing games in more advantageous recruiting situations. I think Oklahoma will secretly regret being in the SEC a decade from now too. Texas is the only school to leave the Big 12 and find real success, and I suspect that will remain true a decade from now regardless of what the landscape of the sport looks like.
  2. You leave Busch Light and Zyns out of this, you sonnofabitch.
  3. See my post above. I'm not going to quit cheering for Iowa State because the Big 12 is doing business with the guy. This is a shitty, unfortunate reality that has been forced upon us. The idea that the Big 12 should lay down and take it is as irritating as Portnoy himself, too.
  4. He's a small dick with a weird cult of internet sycophants. For whatever reason, these kinds of people are thriving in modern day America.
  5. I've never put french dressing on a taco, but that dip is fucking addictive. I learned long ago that there are tacos, and there are Midwestern tacos. Midwestern tacos are ground beef simmered in a little cumin, chili pepper, and garlic on store bought shells with grocery store salsa, cheese, and maybe a little lettuce. The lettuce is invitation for dressing, obviously. Authentic? No. Mexican? Not even a little. Tasty? Yup. The proliferation of Mexican Americans in the livestock industry has brought real Mexican to white-ass places like Kansas and Iowa in the past 20 years, but those old bastardized attempts at "Mexican" will always be a source of comfort food.
  6. I actually don't think there's any mayo in it. It doesn't have a real mayo character to me, but I've never studied the recipe either.
  7. Kinda like French dressing. More vinegar to my palate. YMMV. I never liked it on salad, but my wife uses it in a warm taco-ish chip dip that slams. I don’t think it’s very common outside of the plains Midwest.
  8. More like a sweet vinegarette, but thick. I think 1000 island just tastes like mayo and ketchup
  9. That checks out. My experience with Oklahoma is along or north of 44 to 40 you’re still in the Midwest. Past that line, good fucking luck.
  10. Did Liberty even exist long enough ago to have a logo like that?
  11. Pretty sure KSU and Arizona are playing a non-con game this year, but it was scheduled back in the Pac 12 days.
  12. Aren't NCSU and Virginia playing an OOC game on Saturday?
  13. I think those two schools were a bit more complicit in it. With UT becoming a conference game, I think OU was just fine not having Nebraska every year. Now of course they said that was a reason things went south, but that's exactly like Nebraska leaving for equal revenue after they voted against it forever.
  14. My guess is they weren't opposed to Farmageddon specifically - they were opposed to schools having differing numbers of protected rivalries, so the compromise was in-state games only.
  15. I do think it's kinda dumb that people keep saying it's "going away". It's not going away. It's just getting played 75% of the time. KU/Mizzou went away. UT/Aggy went away. Backyard Brawl went away. This isn't the same. It's dumb, but it's going to keep getting played on a regular basis as a conference games.
  16. I have no idea. If Gene and Jamie want to keep it going, just fucking play it as a non-con game in '27. I've heard guys suggesting that we get a bunch of washed up ex-ISU and KSU players to meet up on a high school field somewhere in NW MO or SE NE (to keep it neutral) and keep the streak alive. Fuck the suits.
  17. Look at me. I’m the captain now.
  18. Cleaning out the fridge before the long weekend, I found some leftover Mac and cheese my kid ordered over a week ago. Had 3 Hatches left from making a southwest egg bake this past weekend. Sautéed ‘em, up. Hatch Mac and cheese
  19. Same. Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni have a great new pod as well, but it’s not exclusively CFB so I didn’t include it there.
  20. He’s just gotten so into blue bloods that I’ve just lost interest. The best national shows are ones that cover the entire sport, and have either a great sense of humor or a legitimate curiosity in the weird corners of the sport, or both. Solid Verbal, Split Zone Duo, and Shutdown Fullcast are my go to national shows. All blow Pate out of the water.
  21. The reason I didn’t go to Dublin was because my home town was having its 125th. My dad drove this IH 1206 on our farm float, with his glass of Black Velvet riding on the fender. Didn’t spill a drop.
  22. 5 out of the last 6 Farmageddons.
  23. Hell of a game Kenny. Good luck down the stretch
  24. Not so fast, pardner
