  1. So he's saying if their deal is 29mil a year they won't move. I think that's been the general consensus from generally everybody ever since the NEW12 got their TV deal. But the general consensus is the PAC10's deal isn't going to be 29mil, so are they bolting if its 27mil? Being 2mil a year behind the Big12 for 6 years in $12,000,000. But being 4mil a year behind the Big12 over a 6 year deal is $24,000,000. Further more, just because they'll stay put for 29mil a year doesn't mean CU will.
  2. We all agree that streaming is currently clunky. It lags behind the live broadcast: just try listening to the radio and watching a game on Prime at the same time. The stream is running about 30 seconds behind the radio broadcast. There is no regulatory reason for this, streaming DOES NOT have to lag in order to edit some obscenity like TV and Radio do. So actually streaming would be ahead of Radio and TV if it weren't for technical issues. I'm not sure what the technical issues are that make it lag so badly, but I'm pretty sure if I can play a video game seamlessly with people on three continents, that I should be able to watch a football game that is beaming from one single source.
  3. If UU is working so hard to save the PAC10 wouldn't they go ahead and sign their GOR? Asking for a friend.
  4. UU would be 5th in attendance in the NEW16 and ASU would be 11th. And UH is still dead last by a mile.
  5. All the streaming companies do some financing through SVB. Can't imagine that they're feeling more generous after that bank collapse.
  6. The thing that scares me about going to Colorado is that they have been saving batteries for 10 years now.
  7. No doubt. These schools are self reporting and attendance is based on ticket sales not butts in seats. And sometimes a business may buy the remaining tickets to get to a sell out and nobody uses those seats and they can't even give them away. I live here is Lubbock and United Supermarkets often buys the last thousand or so tickets at a reduced price just so we can sell out the stadium. I bet anything Nike has done that once or twice.
  8. Just to illustrate how poor a choice Rutgers & Maryland are, they played each other this year and the ratings were terrible. 97,000. That's one of the worst rated games of the year. Future Big12 bottom feeders Cincy & UCF played each other and had 10Xs the audience. 1.06mil
  9. Here's attendance figures I found NEW12 ISU 57,344. TCU 46,562. UK 43,076. KST 51,165. BU 45,463. TECH 56,870. OKST 54,735. WVU 47,658. BYU 59,674. Cincy 38,117. UCF 41,542. CougHigh 25,073 PAC10 UO 54,950. UW 62,933. ORST 31,498. WASU 26,185. UU 52,057. CAL 38,596. STAN 29,965. UA 44,209. AST 43,081. CU 42,847. POTENTIAL TARGETS SDSU 29,892. SMU 24,971. FRESNO 39,067. COLSt 26,891. BOISE 35,121. UTSA 26,835. TULANE 20,361. NEVADA 14,905. MEMPHIS 26,196. UNLV 22,112.
  10. The networks and the Big time programs both want conference consolidation. The networks would rather just broadcast marquee games. Big time programs like the idea of the giant pie of cash being cut into fewer and fewer pieces, thus increasing their share. But in the last thirty years the only legit consolidation was when the BIG8 added the four good Texas schools and shed the dead weight of TCU, SMU and Coug High. And then when the Big East money makers joined the ACC. But it now in order to stay relevant, the BIG12 had to let TCU back into the party, and now adding UH, Cincy and UCF the numbers of schools in the major conferences is growing not shrinking. Soon the PAC12 may replace USC & UCLA with SDSU & SMU. Its going in the wrong direction!
  11. My prediction for the new pac12th media rights deal.
  12. I never understood teams that draft a VY and then tell him. DON'T BE VINCE YOUNG. We want you to be Steve McNair. I live in Lubbock and saw Patrick for 3 years and knew that only about two coaches could exploit his talent, most of the others would want him to conform to their system, rather than building a system that exploits his skill set.
  13. I even see it in games where I hate a particular team but can tell they are getting cheated. Like the OU at Oregon game about 10 years ago. I'm rooting for the ducks but I can see that OU is getting screwed many times over. Especially on the on sidekick at the end of the game where the ducks didn't recover the ball but they were rewarded to ball anyhow.
  14. Watching games that you have NO rooting interest in you can observe bad calls and multiple bad calls against one team makes a pattern. Like the Tech/ISU game in 2021. It was obvious a couple of the officials were steering the game towards ISU, late in the game they had to be outright blatant in their attempt to protect ISU. The Surly game thread was packed with these observations. Was amazing that Tech beat the officials and the Cyclones.
  15. It being "Mickey Mouse as hell" solidifies my contention that UH will indeed do just that. I contend that they will try and have at least one game a year at reliant. Tech has played them at Reliant the last couple of times they hosted Tech. And they will probably try and host other schools that travel well like OSU and I bet BYU can get a lot of polygomists to Reliant.
  16. The Coug High game will be at Reliant. When single game tickets go on sale I don't expect them to do what TCU did in 2022 to slow sales for visiting teams that travel well Like OU, Tech and OSU. UH will gladly let the Horns fans buy all the tickets, which they will. Lots of UT fans in Houston will be glad to have a game in town. Don't disparage this road trip. Yes, UH is way beneath UT. But Burnt Orange will fill the stands and the optics will be hard to deny.
  17. I was rooting for the Chiefs, but I don't think for a second they win this if it's perfectly officiated.
  18. Couple of things. 1. "You'll find a god in every Golden cloister, And if you're lucky then the gods a she" 2. CKK was a college coach for just a few years. Two weeks ago he had Three of his Tech QBs starting on the same NFL Sunday, so his rep as a QB whisperer is justified. 3. Keep him away from the David Carradine Suite at the Swisshotel in Bangkok!
  19. I'm talking about a lack of contrition at any point prior to December 12th. Randi has caused issues on road trips, particularly the NY trip. I believe Beard arrogantly blew off those who privately asked him to real that betch in. Had he taken these warnings to heart things might have turned out differently. But Beards arrogance, lack of self awareness and lack of contrition cost him his job and destroyed his future. I agree with you that he can't offer any kind of mea culpa and/or an apology NOW that he's been arrested. He needed to heed the friendly advice he was getting before 12/12.
  20. Don't we all think Beards lack if contrition and his arrogance preceded December 12th. I feel confident asserting that UT officials had grown tired of Randi's antics and had asked him to leave her at home and/or get her to apologize to UT staffers that she's been running over. Beards reaction to this was, "You can't make me."
