  1. They have so much more potential to be a colossus of the sport every year, but they are a huge mess. It's a real "I believe in myself" play.
  2. OU got a new baseketball stadium and "entertainment district" passed to try to make Norman be less boring. Looks like it's going to be way off campus, which honestly just sucks all around. https://www.oklahoman.com/story/sports/college/sooners/2024/09/18/ou-basketball-arena-norman-oklahoma-entertainment-district-approved/75273556007/
  3. Yup: https://247sports.com/Player/eli-holstein-46099544/TimelineEvents/
  4. Does anyone who has this have insight on how it fits? I'm quite tall and skinny, so a lot of jackets look ridiculous and feel like wearing a tent.
  5. Hence, the choice to direct Big Noon Saturday to Ohio State pummelling a Marshall team built on biscuit NIL instead of a really good Utah - OK State matchup.
  6. I like their new retro logo, I think it's clean and unique. The top one looks like every other bland early 2000s logo, especially given that 95% of the "Indians" teams replaced their mascot with a bird so they'd still be able to use feather motifs. I think everyone agrees that ULM's new P-40 inspired helmets are awesome.
  7. Penn State is getting frustrated with Franklin's Mack Brown Lite performance every year. Could be a graceful way to get out before the seat gets hot.
  8. ...so what is your point here?
  9. A few spicy ranked matchups as conference play starts, with a B1G start on Friday, a sleepy Saturday morning, and then full throttle in the afternoon and evening. Thursday game South Alabama @ Appalachian State - 7:30 / 6:30 ESPN Hey, it's football. App State has a nice stadium, so that's fun to look at. Friday games Stanford @ Syracuse - 7:30 / 6:30 ESPN A classic ACC matchup. Stanford is pretty bad. Kyle McCord has been tearing it up for Cuse. Should be a blowout for the Orange in a near-sellout crowd. #24 Illinois @ #22 Nebraska - 8 / 7 Fox Not a bad B1G pairing at all. FFR has Illinois playing solid, competent football, and Rhule looks like he's going to easily break the Huskers' bowl drought. Saturday games Florida @ Mississippi State - 12 / 11 ESPN If you thought Florida - A&M was a cripple fight, this is going to be even more pathetic. Let's see if Miss State looks capable of being more than a speedbump next week. NC State @ #21 Clemson - 12 / 11 ABC Look, it's slim pickings in this timeslot. State has historically given Clemson fits, but Grayson McCall is hurt and they have looked like pure shit in all three of their games this year. Charlotte @ Indiana - 12 / 11 BTN Curt Cignetti has Indiana looking immediately bowlish. Biff Poggi ran Oklahoma drills all summer and can barely field a team. This should be a bloodbath. I guess you could watch Kansas @ WVU (12/11 ESPN2) or Houston @ Cincinnati (12/11 FS1) for some Big XII bottomfeeder action. The early games are pretty bad across the board. - #11 USC @ #18 Michigan - 3:30 / 2:30 CBS It's a crime that this is a conference game and not a Rose Bowl matchup. We should learn a lot about both teams in this one - is USC for real? Does Michigan suck that bad? #12 Utah @ #14 Oklahoma State - 4 / 3 Fox Huge Big XII game. A battle of experienced, well-coached contenders with 7th-year QBs that are older than a solid subset of NFL starters. Arkansas @ Auburn - 3:30 / 2:30 ESPN Hugh Freeze is officially on Fraud Watch. Petrino seems to have resucitated the Pig offense. Could be an interesting one. Keep an eye on Miami (OH) @ #17 Notre Dame (3:30/2:30 NBC) for Marcus Freeman vs MAC hijinks and Georgia Tech @ Louisville (3:30/2:30 ESPN2) could matter for an ACC Championship slot. Also, Duke is playing @ MTSU for some reason over on ESPNU. And in an odd timeslot, it's the Battle for the Iron Skillet! TCU @ SMU - 5 / 4 CW Sonny Dykes and Rhett Lashlee will compete to see which coach can be the most unthreateningly competent, and which group of good-looking white kids gets first sniff of the coke down at daddy's country club. - Louisiana-Monroe @ #1(!!!) Texas - 8 / 7 ESPN+ / SECN+ Arch's first start will (sort of) be televised. Let's have some fun and not get injured. #6 Tennessee @ #15 Oklahoma - 7:30 / 6:30 ABC Josh Heupel returns to Norman, and his Vols have flown out of the blocks. Can OU keep up? Probably not. Cal @ Florida State - 7:30 / 6:30 ESPN2 Watching Cal go from just another Pac-12 school to the memelords of the ACC has been a hoot. Can they #decolonizecalahassee? Can DJU complete a forward pass? Baylor @ Colorado - 8 / 7 Fox One of these schools will lose, and I will enjoy that very much. Keep an eye on Bowling Green @ #25 Texas A&M (7:30 / 6:30 - ESPN+) and #8 Miami @ South Florida (7 / 6 ESPN) in case the upset warning starts flashing. #13 Kansas State @ BYU - 10:30 / 9:30 ESPN Your Big XII After Dark selection will be this potential trap game for the high-flying 'Cats after their big win over Arizona.
  10. Fun to do a throwback, know why they're doing it, let's never do those drop shadow numbers again.
  11. Let's see them win literally anything interesting before we call it plug and play
  12. Not picking on you in particular but why do so many people misspell Mukuba "Makuba"? It's not a hard name.
  13. How could you forget one of the most fun aggy qbs ever? Starkel turned down Yale, was called "ass my dude" by Tate Martell, was an open Justin Bieber superfan, took girls out for ice cream dates, and then won a Mountain West Championship with San Jose fucking State.
