Another disappointment has to be K State on ESPN main not even pulling 800k viewers in a close matchup with Tulane. A highlight is that even though the FOX 230 game was shitty, it still pulled in 2 million viewers. I know I’m a broken record but that’s huge for the conference.

I see them joining the WCC for all nonfb sports and The American for football…time will tell.
-
So whose fault is it that aggy isn’t ranked which is the cause of both of these…

The PAC12 would ideally want to go after Rice, Tulane, Memphis (team with history and name recognition) plus UTSA (solid program and market) however the P12 TV deal and western travel doesn’t exactly seem appealing. I don’t think the PAC12 will drop lower to look at UNT or Texas St but the MWC might (especially if they grab NMSU/UTEP from CUSA as a stop gap). I do think SJSU is an interesting candidate. They fit and would be beneficial for the PAC, but I assume the PAC12 thinks that they might have an outside shot at getting Cal/Stanford back if the ACC explodes but know they would not want to be in the same conference as the Spartans.

Good luck with that exit fee. They also need at least 2 more to have the minimum of 8 full members. Surprised UNLV (30k enrollment, basketball history, good market) wasn’t on their list of initial candidates. Last spot for 8 is a toss up between Utah State (geographical bridge to CSU 25k+ enrollment) and San Jose State (major metro 30k+ enrollment). I’d take all of the above and try to add a Texas school like UNT or Texas State to recreate the Texas connection like they had with TCU. That gets you 10 teams for a 9 game round robin schedule leaving 3 OOC games, one for your P4 payday game, one for a G5 home and home, and the last for an FCS cupcake. Other schools: Hawaii is a pain in the ass for travel, New Mexico sucks at sports, Wyoming is tiny (10k enrollment), no one seems to like Reno, and Air Force is a wild card that could be good or could be a head ache. If this goes through look for the MWC to invite UTEP and NMSU from CUSA, Southern Utah and possibly non fb Utah Valley from the WAC to stabilize before turning their gaze at possible FCS upgrades from the Big Sky.

Carter. We were very concerned about DL at the time. -
I wish Texas fans wouldn’t engage with them at all.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
TKthunder2 replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
Trying to remember when I heard this but Peyton said if he could go back to any regular season game (not playoffs or superbowl) in his life and have one more chance to re-live that experience, he would absolutely go to a college game. He thinks that if you’re at a major school (like those in the SEC) the experience is second to none, and he would be encouraging Arch to enjoy his time in college and not ‘rush’ to the NFL because it’s something you can never get back. -
Kansas…

Buffalo is MAC.
-
Buffalo and MTSU are FBS schools. I wish they would ban FCS games.
-
Fozzy Whittaker, Marquis Goodwin, and Mike Davis would like to have a word with you. Oline was bad and QB was bad, and changing from a spread style offense to pro was bad. It’s really that simple.
-
Fair, I do think was OL and moving to pro style was significant but Joel Klatt basically said the same thing about our post Colt QBs too. I think the point was a good QB can cover up a lot of program rot. Starts at 15:00 minute mark

I mean…is he wrong?

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
TKthunder2 replied to TKthunder2's topic in Football
I wish there was a way to see who historically are favorable or unfavorable of certain teams. For example I think we all know Kurt Bowls has an unfavorable voting pattern for Texas. It would be nice to see that evidence in the data over a long period of time. -

Disagree with this… Agree with this. With all the new buildings and improved technology of 8k HD cams and drones they really should update the video footage…but if they change the audio people will (rightfully) lose their fucking minds. -

He’s one of those guys that rewards you for who you beat and discards preseason rank as soon as he can. While I think it’s not the best way, my biggest issue with him is that he doesn’t follow his logic with Penn State. If you’re going to do a system like this you need to at least be consistent. -
I assume the MWC is playing hard ball here to get them to join. Adding two formerly P5 level schools in new states is appealing, but the reality here is if they don’t then and those two school peel off a best of the rest conference, that would be a direct threat to the majority of the MWC. At first, with the shock of the PAC12 dying, the MWC offering the PAC2 a scheduling agreement was an olive branch to hopefully get them to join. But as a year has gone by and they don’t appear to be interested in joining as full members, the MWC has no need or desire to continue to help them.
-
They have the playoff payout and some bowl/sponsorship agreements plus they have some conference assets still to be liquidated…but joining the MWC is not what they want. They want to take the best of the MWC (Boise, Fresno, SDSU, etc) and AAC (Tulane, Memphis, UTSA) and make a new PAC that is better than both. They will only join the MWC once they have exhausted all of their other options.
