  1. If its like IMG and taking over conference tournaments (basketball, baseball, softball, tennis, etc.), I can see it. I can't see it being a good thing beyond that.
  2. https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-acc-in-process-of-extending-tv-contract-with-espn-for-9-more-years-141308428.html FSU/Clemson talk not going away. As mentioned above, ESPN extends. Going to try to improve those ND ratings by more FSU/Clemson/Miami games. Allocate more money on performance. And possibly shorten the GOR.
  3. Other than their 4 playoff games (all top 10), Notre Dame only had 2 others in the top 100. CU was involved in 2 of the 5 games that were not all P4 matchups, vs. NDSU and Colorado St. The others were Army-Navy, Notre Dame's loss to NIU and the MWC CCG Boise vs. UNLV. CU also had the highest regular season game not in a "prime" slot (Saturday 12/4/8 or TG Friday 12/4/8). That NDSU game was #60. There were only 3 of those games that made the top 100 and one was Labor Day Monday (BC-FSU).
  4. The coach blew the game. I was saying how stupid it was going for 2 in the first half. If he had gone for 1, it would have been tied 31-31 at the end of regulation.

    Texas GPA

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/texas-reveals-major-gpa-announcement-about-college-football-season/ar-AA1xkLuR Texas has a new team high 3.27 GPA. I guess Sark has figured out how to keep players eligible. "...The previous high came during the Tom Herman era, so clearly, Sarkisian has been able to elevate the program in all facets. According to Heather Dinich of ESPN, the team's GPA has gone up in each season that Sarkisian has been in Austin. In a May report, Dinich revealed that in Sarkisian's first season, when they finished 5-7, the Longhorns had a team GPA of 2.33. Both numbers saw a slight increase the following year as the team's record jumped to 8-5, while the GPA grew to 2.78. In 2023, the Longhorns went 12-2 and posted a GPA of 2.98. Based on this trend, Texas fans should expect more wins and maybe even higher GPAs in 2025."
  6. I just hope he's ready. But then maybe they will draft him just for his speed.
  7. You've got backups everywhere else. We paid dearly during the Mackovic era when he wouldn't even put one punter on scholarship. He relied on people walking on and earning a slot.
  8. I could never figure out why 3 or 4 times he moved up in the pocket to be tackled instead of trying to get outside and throw it away. Maybe his ankle is a lot worse than they let on.
  9. The Georgia QB actually said he didn't want to play the CCG. He only got to play half of it.
  10. Three. The screen pass, 4th and 2 for them and 2nd and minus 7 for us.
  11. Ewers will be the 4th QB picked in the draft. He usually was really good in the clutch. He just wasn't in the 4th Q tonight. Now Arch should have been in after 1st down didn't work.
  12. From the Texas hate out there, its obvious Texas really is back.
  13. He barely breathed on the guy. That is NEVER called in today's game. And it had absolutely no impact on the play. The only real contact was with the arm and that was pretty incidental. That should have been a TO and no Penn St. TD.
  14. As Matt Mitchell on his SEC spoof says, we don't count. And we should NEVER do an "SEC, SEC, SEC" chant unless it is to mock someone in the SEC. Just like the whole SWC did when Arkansas left for the SEC and oblivion.
  15. Terry Bradshaw had 4 Super Bowls in 6 years. While a great QB, nobody considers him at the very top.
  16. You said Vince and Colt carried the team and that made for a great QB. Street was 20-0. He carried the team. I was using your argument for what makes a great QB. You don't even understand the wishbone and how important the QB and his decision making and timing was in that offense.
  17. You just have a stupid opinion. You admit you are ignorant but still insist that you have a valid opinion. As you say yourself. Street carried the team. He did what needed to be done to win. As a wishbone QB, he made all the decisions. He changed the entire game. Almost everyone adopted the wishbone within a decade. I never saw him live, but I saw him on TV and just knew he would do it. 20-0 and an MNC along with a top rating in Sagarin in the first year (when the team was 0-1-1 without him starting). That's a stat you conveniently ignore. He got the nation focused on UT. Notre Dame came out of 40 years of bowl hibernation. We were the undisputed national champs in the 100th year of college football.
  18. Street changed college football. We started off 0-1-1 and then let Street run the wishbone.
  19. He does have one phenomenal stat. And a great story. When heckled while playing baseball against OU he shut them up by holding up 4 fingers. The 4 times he beat OU at QB.
  20. Yeah. The greatest QBs aren't necessarily the greatest with stats. 1. Vince 2. Colt 3. Street 4. Layne Nobody else warrants being on the list.
  21. Nonsense. Paterno just was afraid to play Texas in Dallas. And then he whined all day.
  22. Yes. One more full football member. Probably are going to have to add Texas St. They are apparently still dreaming of Memphis and Tulane, but they've already been turned down once. MWC schools are locked up in GOR.
  23. McMurphy says NIU will accept offer to move from MAC to MWC for football only next week. This is the board agenda item:
  24. Kirby is out there all the time. Still, I've never seen a penalty on it. I've seen lots of warning penalty flags. But they rarely do a 2nd one for the penalty yards. The guy just had a foot in the white. The only reason the ref called the penalty instead of the warning is because he was ticked. You could see he was furious.
