Realignment talk not going away
Adding UConn would make Big 12 basketball analogous to SEC football - possibly beyond that. We all know that football is king, but March Madness is massive financially, and it would hurt the Big 10 and SEC financially if that blew up. This move pushes us to a spot where the Big 12 can credibly say “if you cut us out of the football playoff, we’re cutting you out of the basketball playoff”. A Big 12/East/ACC plus the Cinderellas tournament would be a lesser product, but still viable - much like an SEC/Big 10 exclusive football post season. I see this as a move towards a “mutually assured self destruction so let’s all play nice” type arrangement.

Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
Keeler drove me nuts when he wrote for the Des Moines Register back in the early aughts, but watching Prime lose his shit over that dork is incredible.

#10 Florida St v. Georgia Tech from Dublin, ESPN
I’m aware. But a bunch of hammered Midwest rubes in a beautiful European city cracks my ass up

That was awesome. Can’t wait for whatever crazy shit happens in FarmO’Geddon in this slot next year. A bunch of shitfaced Midwestern farmers in Dublin is going to be a hilarious scene.

Uniform Pron
You see a ton at our games now. The problem is that our players love them and we’ve won a bunch of big games in them, and now a large chunk of younger ISU fans associate it with success.

I hate our black uniforms more than you ever could.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
My wife is dead set on a ghost tour this time. I’m not a fan, but I know that acquiescing to this will lead to wild drunk kid-free hotel sex. Whats the best one?

Just booked a trip in late January. Haven't been since 2016. Fucking pumped.

100% agree.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Absolutely. I'm just saying that OSU probably isn't the first school to do this had Gundy been more publicly pro NIL in the first place. Gundy dug himself a little bit of a hole on that front and I have 0 doubt it's being used against him on the recruiting trail. Stuff like this is done to counteract that perception.
-

Bingo. Gundy has a reputation for being anti NIL and he's been working pretty hard to reverse that (as opposed to just dying on the vine like Dabo). This is just a means of letting people know he's on Team NIL.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
I remember Bowman and Purdy playing in their respective freshmen years and the announcers billing it as a battle of freshman phenoms. It was a pretty tight game that we pulled out and I remember in the next offseason there was a Bowman vs. Purdy debate on a lot of Big 12 pods. Think that one got settled.

Kevin Warren? But to your point, teams 20-40 are essentially the same as teams 40-60 in terms of profile and viewership. 20-60 are more alike than 20-40 are like 1-20. You lose a lot of viewers if you just cut out 20 schools that actually care.

If there’s a super league it will be about 60 schools and everyone in it will have 50K + stadiums

Someone had photoshopped "Football" over "Soccer" on that graphic yesterday and I about rolled off my chair before I realized it had been altered.

It's like ESPN's constant divestment of talent has tangible consequences.

I generally agree with your point, I'm just pointing that his best season (which accounts for 25% of his tenure as a head coach at this point) beats a ton of active coaches, including a lot of the dudes ahead of him on that list. And it's only 3 seasons ago, so there's gonna be some recency bias. I think Baylor's a bottom 1/3rd (of the Big 12) team this year and he's back to being a DC next year.

He's 2 years removed from a conference title. Kirk Ferentz, for example, has never won an outright conference title.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
Casey’s pizza is all they have going for them at this point, and you’re never more than 15 miles from one. Legitimately decent, but it used to be great. Some mom and pop gas stations have good pizza too.

I'm an old Millenial who was on the school bus for 90 minutes a day between '92-'95 and we couldn't escape that shit either.

The Gin Blossoms had some excellent Paul Westerberg rip offs.
