Even the Apocalypse Must End; The Walking Dead Finale Season
Was it a cliffhanger? The only thing I remember is Mon Momtha got deposed and arrested.

And the BUG is moving into Texas. So, Baylor and Houston new rivals for Northwestern and Minnesota? First time ever that the sport would be better off being designed by the federal government.

Don't know Marcos but Cedar City is nice in the summer. Years back I was able to stay in an empty SUU dorm for like $15. sock-puppet.

That has been the one reliable white smoke. When a couple schools refuse to sign the new contract it is because they know they have an offer for a new conference. It was Pitt and Syracuse in the Big East. TX and OU in the Big12. And SC in the PAC. (I did not hear anything about UCLA's position on expansion but they knew they were pulling out). Now there's this.

Besides, we want to hear how the Trojans hate the former PACn schools.

The same reason that SMU, TCU, Rice, UH, USF, the other USF, UCF, Florida-Something, Pacific University were available for 50 or so years. "Media market" seems to be more a justification than a cause. That's the opposite of why a conference would want Stanford though. They have not been an easy win in football for the last decade; it was somewhat fitting that Shaw went out with another nailbiter win over ND. But they do have a book of gold medalists and championships in sports that we only see in James Bond flics.

More B1G shenanigans? Northwestern University, you're up!
Baylor is the free speech school?

If you are discussing national titles that UM is in an 80 year coma.

FSU, even FSU wouldn't make that kind of noise without a promise in their buckskin. It must be the BUG. Not that I like them but can't really fault their masterplan. From the PAC12 the BUG10 took most of the top half, getting two at a discount. And there aren't really enough football playing schools remaining on the west coast for another conference to establish a presence. Meanwhile the Big12mart took four schools from two medium sized states.

As we played both last year I assure one is boring and the other is not. ND-LJSU may be a constructed rivalry but it got interesting when Harbaugh&Shaw started running the system most old guard fans wanted at ND, smashmouth with a fullback.

Is whoever passes himself off as ACC commissioner even trying with Clemson/FSU? Is that a 'No' on my idea for Stanford to the SEC?

Favorite Character Actor
It's when the creator is hiring the trope-character, not the actor. The movie needs a: goon, father, bum etc. Can women be character actors? Their roles seemed to be defined by age and race. He does, Hollywood does not. They say "Best Supporting Actor" means top billed who graciously took a supporting role. Edit: Deadhank stole mine. Strother Martin should be atop the list.

That's why you watch college football with your grandparents and the NFL with some shirtless oaf you of whom you can't remember the last name. non-charter. I guess that matters if they make the players buy tickets. Also you fly into Portland and take a bus to Eugene.

Playing in the south in front of top recruits and full stadia? It would never be considered by our admin, because then they might actually have to compete.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
Why would any conference take the UAZ? IT flies in the face of everything we have said about tv markets and recruiting turf for the past 20 years.

President Crow never had to pretend to care about college athletics because the town doesn't either. The sport in Phoenix is partying. Crow's only goal was to transform ASU into UCal-Tempe. IN this he has largely succeeded, even imposing censorship on conservative speech, and Crow has the full support of the town.

We can that pleading legal conclusions. It would be like a business plan made out of the 'Jump to Conclusions' mat in Office Space.

The Seminoles won't get stuck in the snow trying to break into the SEC but it's a possibility with the BUG.

Remember how you were worried about money? Well now you have a lot less to worry about. I thought we had agreed that these new contracts are actually settlements to compensate the left behinds. For all of the schools that have been screwed over by CR, no ESPN executive has had to sit for a sworn deposition.

I am curious about FS1 coverage too. Is it part of those 'streaming services' that are actually cable packages transmitted over the internet? There is a Roku and a Pluto service that have a sports section (I never check). Also Sling is basically a skinny cable package distributed in over an inefficient medium. SIAP. Yes, these scenarios all assume the AVC has dissolved.

I don't like it. But the compensation is that we could join the BUG and have a season where don't play any of the original 10 teams.

Why would a conference [tv network] take UoAZ without even discussing ASU?
