  1. Give them time.They will. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEC_Football_Legends Just claiming people from teams who leave you seems weird. Both just feel odd.
  2. Yeah, my first reaction was to cringe, but it would be worse if the Big 12 posted it I suppose.
  3. Doubly so if that 9-4 champ is Iowa State.
  4. Yeah that’s not how the smash burger looks.
  5. Yep, they want to see how these new 16-18 team conferences and 12 team CFP shake out before investing anymore. If ratings go up, like they hope, we may see another round of realignment in 2030 or so.
  6. Just had one. It was good for a fast food burger but I’d still rather eat a Whataburger patty melt.
  7. LOL wilner is still a hack. First, the reason they added Cal, Stanford, and SMU was specifically to prevent them from falling below 15 members which would have given ESPN the ability to renegotiate their contract. FSU and Clemson leaving was the main reason this was done. Nothing new has changed. Secondly, even if UNC/UVA/ND/Miami file lawsuits and the ACC considers proactively expanding again…the ACC would still pick schools like Memphis, UConn, USF, Tulane over OSU and WSU. Spokane and Corvallis don’t have direct flights like Dallas and San Francisco do, the small boosted value being represented in the historical viewer data would not be worth the hassle. They don’t bring any redeeming qualities to the ACC in basketball, non rev sports, media markets, or academics that would make anyone consider them a reasonable option. They just need to get over their pride and join/merge with the MWC in 2026, they will not have any better options.
  8. Killed my first buck in Quanah.
  9. Yeah the court will have to give them a get out of jail free card before anyone will risk getting involved. If the ACC gave ESPN an extension without a conference vote then it could be bad news for them.
  10. Oregon State baseball will be an independent in 2025. Washington State baseball is joining the MWC.
  11. If he does then I wouldn’t blame him at all for leaving…
  12. Yeah I got mine earlier today too. Shitty selection compared to recent years. The fair weather fans are back in town.
  13. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5650358/2024/07/22/mountain-west-pac-12-schedules-merger/
  14. It’s set for Flex. 2:30 or 7pm.
  15. You’d think they do TEX and TEN but if Tennessee want to be called UT and have people confused them for Texas then go right ahead lol.
  16. Yes you can. You can also rent them before at the stadium each game as well.
  17. Yeah I travel for work a bit too, and my favorite is when I fly on one of those small regional planes where the roller bags go under the plane and you have to wait in the jetway for them to bring up your bags. I always travel with a duffel for that exact reason so I don’t have to wait. Anyways it never fails that some asshole makes a fool of themselves and rushes to the front of the plane and then has to stand there and wait on their bags as I walk right by them.
  18. Yeah this sounds like a douche of a flight attendant on a power trip. Team Davis here unless the FA has a bruise or multiple eyewitnesses or something more…
  19. Basically, if the ACC stays together and it’s just Florida State and Clemson that get out they, alone, don’t bring enough money to pay for themselves, much less bring in any extra revenue for the existing membership. Nor do they justify pissing off their TV partners. The Big Ten just pushed FOX (CBS/NBC said no) for more money for Oregon and Washington and the SEC is trying to get ESPN to pony up for the 9th conference game. Timing is everything. Now if FSU/Clemson leaving starts a mass exodus and UNC, UVA, Miami all decide the grass is greener as well, then that is a different story and it becomes a land grab akin to what just happened to the PAC12 with the 3 remaining power conferences picking up the best pieces and leaving the rest as a shell of its former self.
  20. Could get to 80%. I’ve always said, the Jayhawks are a dark horse for an SEC invite. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kansas–Nebraska_Act&diffonly=true Also, how the fuck is Mississippi not on that list? (No, I’m not going to read whatever stupid logic they used)
