  1. He takes himself too seriously and wants to be a “professional”. It’s going to be McAfee, they already have him sitting in Corso’s spot when he’s off stage.
  2. I was going to say 2002 but yeah not sure.
  3. Bring back the Minotaurs!
  4. Makes too much sense not to happen, wonder if they’ll stand pat at 13 in basketball or if they’ll add another non fb team (VCU?) or kick Wichita St to the curb.

  6. aggy was celebrating TAMU-Commerce’s Division II football national championship and brought in newly hired Jimbo and presented him this trophy (the same type that was being presented to Commerce) and proclaimed that aggy would win one soon While the whole stunt it stupid, it still pisses me off every time I think about aggy trying to steal the spotlight from their own school that ACTUALLY WON A TITLE to brag about how Jimbo would win something in the future. Seriously fuck them.

  8. Agree, the Big 12 will be fine. Games by conference week 1&2: >2million/>1million New Big 12(16): 6/3 (inflated a bit due to Colorado, but credit where credit is due) New ACC (17): 7/1 (note the ACC has already held 2 conference games included in these numbers) New SEC (16): 8/2 New B1G (18): 9/5 (note the B1G has already held 3 conference games included in these numbers) Noted conference games because they rank higher than a majority of OOC games.
  9. I know it’s the ACC’s TV deal with Raycom but lol at Cincy/Pitt on The CW.
  10. Sports media watch still hasn’t updated, but Joel Klatt claimed Nebraska/Colorado was the top rated game of the week.
  11. I think this is a good test case. If these conferences can make more money with only the teams from the P5+Big East that Miss the NCAA tournament, than they currently make from the NIT then that speaks volumes about how the next huge realignment saga may unfold (NCAA tournament better look out). ESPN has NIT rights so they and ACC wouldn’t likely participate unless this gets popular/profitable. I think this may be testing the market. Could totally see FOX/ESPN teaming up on a top 64 FBS+Big East Conference basketball invitational. It would make more sense to have first week tournament games on FOX/ABC/ESPN/FS1/ESPN2/FS2/ESPNU…than CBS/TNT/TBS/Tru Basketball not football.

  13. The same Wyoming that ranks 52 out of 56 US States/DC/territories in population only beating out Guam, US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands. Also the smallest enrollment in the MWC outside of Air Force, they are smaller than every P5 school except Wake Forest.
  14. AQs for the CFP, well they never had an AQ, it goes to the top 6 conference champs, reducing it by 1 now in order to maintain 5 going into the next new contract would be a smart move for the PAC2/MWC and AAC with the power consolidation. As far as the autonomous conference status, the PAC still technically has that unless voted on by the majority of NCAA members/conferences (not sure which), IF it can retain its status as a conference (8 members playing together for 6 years of something like that). Unless they get an exception, which I wouldn’t count on, they would need to add 8 members in the next 2 years that have been playing together for 6 years to keep that status, which leaves only the MWC, SunBelt, or the MAC. If they take the 8 best realignment candidates from the MWC that would leave Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, and Hawaii on the outside looking in, but to get the MWC to dissolve peacefully without exit fees the full reverse merger makes the most sense plus it eliminates a postseason tournament AQ spot in non fb sports as well. I still think there is a 50/50 shot the PAC2/MWC can keep their autonomous status. Having representation from a Western based conference that can help represent the general interest of similar conferences (Big Sky, WCC, Big West) is not a bad olive branch to leave in tact plus it also gives a G5(now 6) insight and a voice in decisions with the Power2/Next 2 and allows for a tiebreaker. Still not sure the P2 want to be able to be outvoted by the N2/G6, so that will be an interesting story to follow. Not predicting they’ll lose or keep it either way just saying that both options are realistic.
  15. Creepy bad judgment 100% no doubt but lots of things don’t add up when reading the stories. Still no matter what, hitting on (or phone sex/masturbating to) the sexual violence advocate your school brought in after a major serial sexual assault scandal is just mind bottling…idiotic…that word isn’t even strong enough to justify the absolute rampant stupidity of it all that this scenario encompasses.
  16. Can’t believe you don’t recognize Jade’s chili when you see it.
  17. Post game I think I saw Baxter limping to the locker room with a trainer. Anyone have any injury news on him?
  18. What is their explanation for 1997 and 2010? Fine print says… ”South Division”
