WAC10 I love it. As to the above, A&M did not want any more Texas schools following them to the SEC. Their want was drowned by what the tv networks wanted. It has been clear since UGA board of Regents v. NCAA that college football is marching towards an NFL model where the biggest programs will be in a tiny number of 'conferences.' UW and UO are just big enough that they must be included in whatever NFL we end up with. ND has bungled every decision for the last 10 years so I assume we will stumble into the BUG with our best buddy Stanford.

Better Call Saul: Season 6
Rhea Seehorn is in an episode of the New Twilight Zone. The shallow plot becomes much more involving if you see it as happening to Kim post-Saul.

That's true of a lot of swat raids.

Waco
I had no idea this show was that old. It would never have been produced in the post Jan 6th psychodrama. It was good although pretty anti-gov and one sided. These stories always start in media res when the cult is already organized and active. I wish they would spend some eps showing how the cultists get recruited.

Too many saw that Marshall game. the matchup = ratings argument has been true for 100 years and we didn't land in a conference. And tv ratings could not not have even been a silent reason the dealt with the ACC; in the years leading up to 2012 Clemson was still Clemsoning and FSU was down.

That may have been true 20 years ago. ASU is now a respected academic school that has exploded in breadth. However adding lot's of asian grad students and Californian transplants does nothing for interest in football or sports in general. Tangentially related: The Phoenix Coyotes will now play at ASU. Maybe the Cardinals will take notice.

2023 Oscars Thread
Yeah that's not how the world works and certainly not how my work computer works. You cannot even do your normal job without the Oscar CR being shoved in your face. How about Zippadeedoodah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah

80s cable TV
I couldn't tell whether Yogi Bear or the Jetsons was made in the 80s or 50s. Animation had not changed that radically. Now if it doesn't look like anime it is the equivalent of black and white tv. The Muppet Babies was very memorable and I could rattle off every character from the star wars episode like Kermit Skyhopper and Skeeter 3PO. I don't think I can remember a single joke from Gummy Bears.

Can't they work out a deal where the streaming service leases out certain games to network tv?

80s cable TV
Takes me back to like 3 years ago before my cable co moved WGN into the next tier. Great sitcom syndication and their local news has way more murders

Is it safe to say that nothing important will ever make it into the meeting minutes? In any university town, the people pelting you did not actually attend the university. Plus the two schools have mellowed out. Irish fans had no serious complaints in Columbus last year outside of OC Rees.

Is the word dis-contiguous? Whatever you call it, no conference with an island has ever lasted. Even with the University of Hawaii.

We have the more recent win in the Citrus. Also in 1990 we cleared out Miami and gave the pollsters cover by beating Colorado but/for the phantom clip.

I don't know if College Station has an identity outside of the university but no one says A&M is a local monopoly. Valpo? https://blog.history.in.gov/ku-klux-u-how-the-klan-almost-bought-a-university/

In the SC/UCLA -> Big12 scenario they almost have to take ASU as well. You don't leave an enormous public school in a top 10 metro area as a gap in your footprint.

No. Not even similar. It is very hard to name another famous program that sits in the heart of a top 5 recruiting territory and made a history of underachievement. Maybe Georgia Tech.

He seemed a bit big in Saving Private Ryan. But he seemed like they time warped in a real soldier.

I can't think of any conference where UCF makes sense. That's is probably why they never stop changing conferences.
