  1. I think it's increasingly likely there'll be a P4 break-off and conference reorganization. My hope is for a 64-team league with more regional conferences.
  2. @flatdawgs @Beau Vine Congrats on your pending LA Bowl win!
  3. Could've been me 10-12 years ago. Drank some wine, took an Ambien. Woke up the next morning to a flame on my gas stove, with a salt pile beside a pepper one, both neatly poured on the counter. Trashed the Ambien then and there.
  4. Only if I'd said gaping chasm, instead.
  5. I don't think I've ever seen a more wide-open receiver than that.
  6. Definitely a local/regional culture thing. Living in a rural town nowadays, I know lots of folks who haven't gone to college but are diehard Longhorns, Aggies, or Red Raiders. I know next to nothing about CFB fandom out there, but it's the "T-shirt fans" who pay the bills. I don't know what UCLA or USC do to ingratiate themselves with the community, but whatever they're doing is wrong.
  7. It's wild to me that the Greater LA area (pop. 18M) can't fill up a 70,000-seat arena. That's like 0.39% of the population if I'm mathin' right. It shouldn't be hard to fill, even with both teams from out of town. You know? Just random CFB fans should be enough, but, as you said, you chose to stay at home instead. That's not a judgment on you. It's just a testament to how little support CFB, as a sport, gets out there.
  8. Wow. Was the fire somehow related to the storms or just a freak accident? Glad you're okay.
  9. When you don't have a dog in the hunt, rooting for a scrappy underdog is (or used to be) an American tradition.
  10. I just commented in the Washington/Boise State thread that his face reminds me of a young Ted Cruz. Mostly the nose, but he wears a natural sneer. He definitely has the personality of a politician/networker.
  11. He seems like a nice kid, but I fear he's gonna look like Ted Cruz once he's middle-aged. It's mostly the nose, I think.
  12. No. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army–Navy_Game#Venues
  13. I saw some fake army dudes on the sidelines, went to check, and found out Tarleton has its own corps of cadets now. I know AnM swallowed up their school, but didn't realize they'd gone full aggy. My buddies who went there are about to catch an intolerable amount of shit from now on.
  14. Which player did they say is 33 years old? Edit: Villanova's Australian punter.
  15. And Villanova answers. This looks to turn into a shoot-out.
  16. I watched most of that game last night. The SFA QB could really sling it around, but his WR refused to catch what he was throwing. And, yeah, their D wasn't too great. Go Texans! I've got several friends who went there in the early 90s.
  17. @flatdawgs You've been awfully quiet the past few days since you first posted about the atmospheric river from the Philippines. Doing okay, brother?
  18. Didn't he post a few pictures from his hospital room when he had heart surgery a year or so before his disappearance?
  19. It's been 25+ years, but I recall that when the franchise was being formed, they held a naming contest, and I don't believe Texans was one of the finalists. They just chose a generic name over the preferences of future fans.

  21. Both the NYTimes and Associated Press have it up as well. Interesting that Modessit had to go conspiratorial on this news. Very aggy-like behaviors.

  23. I'm with you on this. It was like the "Fly" episode on Breaking Bad. It's not about the action but more about the character development this week, which I'm totally fine with. And, yeah, good point on your observation.
