  1. This makes so much sense, and there is not one logical reason why it should not be this way. However, there is one illogical reason, and unfortunately it trumps everything....EGO. Too many egos in college football to ever allow this structure to happen.
  2. Fuck the fans. Fuck the old rivalries. Fuck college football. NFL Light!
  3. I let my Rivals sub die on the vine probably 6-7+ years ago (about the time Aaron starting to get a big head and think he was the BMOC...the place started to suck when Robert G. left, but when Aaron decided he was a demi-god about all things RRS, I had had enough). This, however, may entice me to sign back up.
  4. I had the same thought.
  5. LOL...sorry to disappoint, but she decided she had her own "major" event this week, and was in Miami instead.
  6. And the sad thing is, we have posters right here at Surly who welcome this new paradigm. They want NFL 2.0, or NFL Minor League, or NFL Light....whatever you want to call it. Just another example of people not understanding their brand and their market position. College football was unique from the NFL, and it was that uniqueness that appealed to so many. Yet, it is that uniqueness that people are wanting to eliminate in favor of a 32 team super league (maybe, just maybe, if they would expand it to 64 teams they can retain some of what people love about college football, but I'm doubtful they will and even at 64 it may still be such a change that the uniqueness of college football will still be lost). A lot of that college atmosphere that people loved has already been eliminated via mega jumbotrons, less band playing in favor of more canned music through the jumbtron, advertising in the stadium everytime the clock stops, etc.
  7. I think so. He’s not an amateur and he made the cut. Give the man his money. in addition, if he finishes in top 15 he’s an automatic qualifier for next year.
  8. The Michael Block storyline and the harder-than-US Open conditions has made this the most entertaining PGA Championship that I can remember. Wasn’t it just a few years ago we were mocking the PGA Championship for the ridiculously easy course setups?
  9. Just ahead of his time.
  10. Terrell Owens? Didn't he go to like Tennessee-Chattanooga or something like that? I would add to your list: 1. Dez Bryant 2. Seneca Wallace 3. Justin Blackmon 4. Earl Thomas 5. Nathan Vasher 6. Michael Crabtree 7. Dat Nguyen
  11. I believe I read somewhere it only takes 8 votes of the 15 members to dissolve the ACC. Would Duke join the 7 to dissolve the ACC? I'm a little surprised to see NC State in that group. I don't see them, nor Va Tech for that matter, finding homes in the BIG or SEC.
  12. Clearly they don't teach contract law there.
  13. Agreed. I don't see any scenario that has WSU and OSU going to the Big 12.
  14. Depends on the TV deal. If the deal is as crappy as some are predicting, Arizona is bolting regardless of what the others do. I think AU leaving then forces ASU and CU to think long and hard on doing the same.
  15. No kidding. Jimbo has to have some aggy DNA in him. An outsider can't assimilate that quickly, can he?
  16. Kyle is en fuego this morning:
  17. Pat should call Jimmy and get some advice on how to deal with embarrassing little brothers.
  18. I just came here to thank Baby Jesus that Bijan did not go to the Eagles.
  19. How much fun would that be? I’d buy tickets.
  20. No one is doing a 20+ contract of any kind after seeing the situation that the ACC is in. If OUW joins the Big 12, is for whatever this recent contract is signed for (5-6 years I think?) But to your point, I think OUW would view 5-6 years as an eternity, so it might as well be 20+.
  21. You left out, in my opinion, the most interesting thing he said: "...I shouldn't even say that." That's the part I'm scratching my head on. "Nobody's asked us...I shouldn't even say that." Why shouldn't you? Did he catch himself providing too much info? It's just an odd thing to say in this context.
