  1. Let's be serious though, how many color commentators are lauded for being great. Most of them get trashed or ignored. Every now and then someone like Klatt or maybe Herbstreit back in the day will get some accolades thrown their way, but like a google review most discussion concerning broadcast teams lean towards negativity.
  2. This forum is littered with threads of former players getting bashed up and down it. Casey's thread isn't an isolated case.
  3. I mean there are usually only 2 or 3 LHN games all year so it's understandable that people overlooked his absence, but it's funny to continually watch people talk about him as if he's still doing something he hasn't done in 3 years.
  4. Nope it was just Acho. It was just Acho and Galindo last year as well. And the year before that it was Andre Ware and Galindo. Brooks hasn't done an LHN broadcast since at least 2019. He was doing ESPNU games with Adam Amin, but I don't think he's doing that anymore either.
  5. There's nothing Longhorn fans like to do more than hate former Longhorn players.
  6. Ahmad hasn't done an LHN game in a couple of years. I realize this thread was started a few years back, but you'd think by now people would notice Ahmad isn't on the call anymore.
  7. An under discussed aspect of Stephen seizing more and more control of the Cowboys is he seems to be cheap as fuck. Prior to Dak signing his new contract and that year under the franchise tag the Cowboys spent among the lowest in the league in payroll over a 2 or 3 season period. And now after a 1 or 2 year hiatus from being amongst the lowest level payrolls in the league they are right back to being near the bottom again. I'm certain someone could work up a plausible defense using Romo's contract still being on the books during Dak's first few years and other extenuating circumstances to explain away the lower tier payroll, but it's still something I'd pay attention to in the future while Stephen is running things.
  8. Bingo!!! Pearl, Clinton, Madison, Brandon, are all over 55% with all but Clinton being over 70% white. And you'd be surprised by Florida's racial history.
  9. Well the Hardline kinda stole Klatt from Bad Radio/The Hangzone.
  10. Some of the technicalities concerning managing the 53 man roster have changed in the fallout of COVID. One such example is the allowance of veterans on the practice sqad and allowing guys to go back and forth from the PS to the 53-man roster multiple times before a decision has to be made. I'm not sure if your IR example is something that existed prior to recent changes or if it's new, but there have a number of changes over the last 3 seasons.
  11. There's a good chance he'll still make the 53-man roster in another week. With recent rule changes this initial cut to the 53-man is just as much about managing roster needs like placing players on IR and retaining players with multi-year contracts as it is about actually formulating a team's week one 53 man roster.
  12. Never said it was, just that typically if one gets into a top 20 MBA program without work experience it's another level of accomplishment. And I agree with the primary point of your post which was that Hudson Card getting into the undergraduate program is a big deal and he's definitely not going to transfer prior to obtaining his degree.
  13. You sure about that chief???' I know he's in the undergrad program, but this is the first I've heard of him getting into the MBA program, which would be quite the accomplish to 1) not only get into without work experience, but 2) get into in only 3 years of undergrad.
  14. Are we talking about the same message boards that prove to be full of shit with most other stories?
  15. Staples can't help but force in an SEC reference no matter what is being discussed.
  16. Given how many players Sark shuffled out of here over the last few months he agrees with Casey.
  17. I believe the Big 10's weekly game selection works a lot different that the SEC and other conferences. The games are chosen prior to the season starting. So Fox will choose Michigan/Ohio St with the first pick, and then CBS will choose a game, then NBC and then back to Fox with the 4th pick. Maybe Fox gets a few more extra picks due to their buy, but it works like a draft where the picks are made for the entire season.
  18. Audience size. All those big ass schools with huge alumni populations command massive and loyal audiences. Especially in the Northeast where all these TV networks are headquartered. Ohio St, Michigan, Penn St, Michigan St., Wisconsin, and now USC and UCLA. Our view of the Big 10 has been warped over the last 15 years by the brand management job ESPN has done for the SEC. For most of my lifetime Big 10 schools have had an overwhelming presence in college football. It's only in the last 15 years where the Big 10's coverage took a 2ndary role to the SEC. I remember how I felt about the Big 10 back in 2004 when we faced Michigan in the Rose bowl and how I had a nagging sense that they were overrated. What I was really emoting was a feeling of envy over the coverage they received at the time.
  19. I was wondering what was up with the Soul Taco spot when I hit it up a few weeks back. I thought they just weren't open that morning.
  20. Anyone who played sports and grew up or around North Dallas in the last 15 to 20 years knows the Talibs are and always have been absolute pieces of shit. There's a story on a DFW sports message board about a father pulling his son off the Talibs team awhile back because Aqib "showed off" his pistol to his team. That's right, a supposed coach and role model showed off his gun to a bunch of 9 year olds. They're pure trash and I don't care who on here is kin to them. There's another video floating around the internet showing a different angle where you get a clear shot of what happened. Not only was it 4 or 5 guys beating Mike down, but Yakub or whatever the fuck his name is, inexplicably pulls out his gun as Mike struggles to gain balance after being beat down by a bunch of dudes and Yakub straight up murders him. As far as I'm concerned every last one of those dudes beating that guy down should go to jail. Fuck 'em.
  21. Buddy of mine had his car booted for someone else's tickets. They got the wrong guy and car. He started thinking about trying to take the boot off himself when it became clear that UTPD fucked up. Took him an entire day to get that shit sorted out.
  22. For the good of the sport this had to happen. The only way we get back to all regions of the country taking part in college football is for ESPN's control of the sport to be diminished considerably.
  23. Bruh, you were anti Amari from the absolute get go. You may not be a homer, but you siding with the Cowboys in getting rid of Amari for pennies on that dollar isn't exactly a huge revelation.
  24. Yeah that's where Davey differs from Danny. Not only is he a funny, entertaining, and witty guy he actually knows a thing or 2 about sports and can call Corby and Bob on their bullshit.
