    Fan. Singular. I know no other Tech fan that would do something like that, whereas every single Sooner I know would do that in a heartbeat if it didn't eat into their meth budget.

    Props for the cross-character pollination.

    I would run though a wall for Joey McGuire.

    This is the correct answer. The thought that Tulane would have become the power that LSU became ignores the fact that Tulane is a highly-selective private school with an enrollment less than 15,000. USC and Notre Dame, and for a short time relatively speaking Miami, are the only schools that have Tulane's selectivity and became major football powers (I don't count Stanford because they only had a brief moment a time or two). But USC is in LA, Miami I'm certain bought their success (and it's Miami), and Notre Dame has the history and the Papists. Tulane, if they had stayed in the SEC, wouldn't have had any of that. LSU, however, is the flagship university for the state and is not highly selective. If Tulane had stayed in SEC, LSU would still have been the power they were, the SEC would just have a 2nd Vandy to beat up on.

    I disagree wholeheartedly. The creation of the "P2" will give the illusion that they have a far more difficult strength of schedule and thus a self-fulfilling prophesy. Kind of like the whole "well, these teams have better TV ratings" while leaving out the fact they were given the prime TV timeslots. If you go to the "premiere" league model, you are basically relegating these other teams that very well could be better than half or more of the teams in the P2 conferences. But you've manipulated matchups in a way that says these are the best teams regardless when in fact they may not be....but if you "relegate" certain teams, you will never actually know. But in the end, regardless, if you tell 2/3 - 3/4 of the college fanbases in the country that their teams are on the outside looking in, you will not have the product that you think you are achieving with a P2 model. That's my point that seems to be getting missed here.

    My friend, I think we are taking about two different things. What you are talking about, which is what will be in existence for 2024 and 2025, is great. Yes, I love it. What I'm talking about is the idea that has been voiced in this thread that eventually it will be just SEC and BIG, with maybe token invites to Big12 and ACC (after 2025). That mindset, that a 3 loss SEC or BIG team will get in over a 1-2 loss Big12 or ACC team, is what I'm talking about. I want something more in line of what we have in basketball (not 64 teams, but just the idea of a more even distribution of access). Hope that makes sense.

    If a 3 loss SEC or BIG team consistently gets in over a 1-2 loss ACC or BIG12 team, then yeah, I and a lot of others will eventually check out.

    So the same teams get into the playoffs every year. That sounds so exciting. So entertaining. Yes let’s watch the same 20 teams every year battle it out. Sounds like fun. Again, this mindset ignores why college football is unique from the NFL and why it will lose viewership if this becomes the reality.

    He needs to keep track of both mountain and pacific time. If only we could make watches or phones capable of showing multiple time zones. That’s probably 22nd century Star Trek technology.

    Hey asshole...cite my work!

    My opinion is similar to LTBear's and 'stache's. I already have the NFL. I don't need mini-me NFL. I'm a fanatical college football fan because I graduated from Texas Tech and most, if not all, of the games I watch either have a direct or indirect effect/relationship to Tech. Same with basketball. If my alma mater gets relegated, I'm spending more time on the golf course in the fall and only watching Tech's games.

    I have a feeling Kirk Shulz's days at WSU are numbered. That big-tittied Regent with the "groundhog day" comment a few months back was probably ready to fire him then.
  13. Uncle Nate
    Amen, brother. Full disclosure...I have SMU football season tickets.
  14. Uncle Nate
    Oh, I'm well aware. I drive by the SMU Soccer practice field ever day. They also have lacrosse and equestrian. But...
  15. Uncle Nate
    I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but I don't think you should be in the P5 (or whatever club we want to call it) if you don't have a baseball team. Heck, you could even talk me into the idea that a school shouldn't be D1 without a baseball team. I'm ready for your slings and arrows now.

    Their going to paint the seats to make it look like people are sitting in them.

    ASU president is doubling-down on his stupidity. Did no one have the talk with him after the last time?
  18. Uncle Nate
    At the end of the day, all of the parties involved will have made more money than me, so my give-a-shitter on this subject is pretty much broke. I think I read Oher made something like $34 million in career earnings not counting endorsements?
  19. Uncle Nate
    With that ass and that strut, she’s going for the Stacy’s mom football train.
  20. Uncle Nate
    Well, with my limited interactions with Ole Miss fans and supporters, color me shocked that an Ole Miss supporter would do something dishonest, classless, and underhanded. /sarcasm The next decent and upright Ole Miss fan or alumn I meet will be the first.
  21. Uncle Nate
    So much this. It amazes me there are “college football fans” on this thread who have absolutely no clue what makes college football distinct from the NFL, and are endorsing eliminating that distinction. if it’s true this is what the networks want, I predict it will backfire on them horrendously. They want to take away what makes college football such a unique market.
  22. Uncle Nate
    I don’t think Glover is going to survive two more holes.
  23. Uncle Nate
    This is correct.
  24. Uncle Nate
    Grier is constantly throwing behind his receivers. How is he a pro?
  25. Uncle Nate
    Pretty sure most of us knew this months ago.
