  1. I saw Earl periodically on campus. Saw Lam Jones all the time at Jester East, often enough we would usually say hi or nod when we passed. Probably saw a number of others that I didn't recognize.
  2. Yes. Fox and ESPN require it.
  3. Sounds like there really is no dispute over future NCAA distributions or the Pac 12 name. But the groups disagree over current revenues (which they shouldn't-Schulz already said it had to be distributed), residual assets (reserve funds, Pac 12 N, etc.) and liabilities.
  4. Well Georgia had Auburn and Florida had LSU, so all 6 of the powers had a tough fixed cross division rival.
  5. We had 4 big rivalries when I was in school, Land thieves, pigs, 7-11 thieves and aggy. The last few years we only had one. In the SEC we get pigs and aggy back. I think most agree that ending OU-NU was one of the Big 12's biggest mistakes. The Big 12 has nothing of that caliber, but you don't want 15 rotating games without any special intensity.
  6. What makes the SEC and Big 10 special and more valuable are the rivalries. The SEC often went years without seeing other teams. But the key teams they saw every year. I think it is a huge mistake to not give every team at least two every year rivals. It just loses the spice. In addition to the 4 above, add Utah/CU, BYU/ASU, CU/AU in the west. UC/UCF/WVU all play each other in the east. Add Farmageddon and ISU/KU. Then add TT/OSU, TT/UH, UH/TCU and BU/OSU. You can also do 2 others 3 out of 4 and the other 11 still see 2 out of 4.
  7. How do they give up Farmageddon???
  8. Don't make it quite so structured. BYU, AZ, ASU, UU, CU-play 3 games against each other (except BYU-2), skip CU-BYU, UU-AZ, BYU-ASU KSU, KU, ISU play each other and one of the 3 east schools (say KSU-WVU, ISU-UC, KU-UCF) UCF-WVU-UC play each other and one of the Big 12 N schools OSU, TT, TCU, BU, UH-play 3 games against each other (except UH-2 who plays BYU), skip TT-TCU, UH-OSU, UH-BU Besides the 3 fixed, you get everyone else every other year.
  9. That's why I listed them with UH, Cincy and Louisville who aren't there anymore either.
  10. Actually the whole conference left. UH didn't inherit all the SWC assets when they were the last to turn out the lights. This isn't at all like 2 schools out of 10 leaving. And UT and OU never acknowledged that their voting rights were gone. They just quit coming to future oriented meetings.
  11. CUSA with a lot of the schools now in the AAC. Memphis, Tulane, UAB, ECU along with Southern Miss, UH, Cincy and Louisville. And eventually USF and TCU before they dropped out.
  12. The by-laws are not clear at all. The same passage that says they have no voting rights says the remaining schools can sue for damages to the conference if announce intent to leave, when its clear there is no penalty for leaving on 8/2/24. It seems like that passage is talking about them actually leaving instead of just announcing. Or maybe its mixing the two. Its just really unclear and very poorly written. And while you can sympathize with them for being left behind, they are easily the two weakest state schools in the P5 in fan support despite being decent sized schools. OSU is bigger than Oregon. The assets of the Pac 12 were overwhelmingly earned by someone else.
  13. They ARE in mediation negotiating with them now.
  14. Being a 2 Pac sounds like a stupid idea that will kill their athletic programs. All seems to be about the lawsuit. Much better solution: Negotiate with CFP to get 2/70th shares for the next two years for OSU/WSU. Article seems to indicate nobody is opposed to that. Negotiate with 10 Pac to allow the 2 to add all 12 MWC schools. Continue on with the lawsuit over residual money, assets and basketball credits (or reach a settlement).
  15. Well the NEC and MEAC may need some sort of merger. Both are getting short of teams.
  16. Looked it up. Jones played Yates within one score twice and Madison and W-O Stark were 13. Every other win was at least 19 points. State final was 37-0. This was one of the years they did beat Madison. They lost 9 games in 6 years and 4 or 5 were to Madison (they would play before district and several times in playoffs) along with 3 losses deep in the playoffs. Madison had Broderick Thomas, Nebraska All America and longtime NFL player during several of those years. Their best team until VY came along.
  17. See post 3470 on page 70 by Texex15.
  18. Well other than Ehlinger, we haven't had a QB since Colt who could hit 70% of his passes without any defense.
  19. That 2nd angle at 8:26 on the highlights makes it look like the spot was right.
  20. Quinn was 23 for 29 including those last two misses. He could have been better, but he wasn't bad until that last drive. He was completing 85%.
  21. Win our next 6 and we are almost certain to be in the playoff. There will be some losses ahead of us. Just take care of the games one at a time.
  22. Polls doing their late season sync. AP and Coaches same for top 21 except coaches have Alabama ahead of Oregon, Ole Miss ahead of Oregon St. and Tennessee ahead of Duke. Last 4 are the same schools, but coaches have USC, Tulane, UCLA, JMU while writers have it Tulane, UCLA, USC, JMU.
  23. It was 21-7, not 21-0. But 24-7 is 3 scores. 21-7 and giving them the momentum is just stupid. There was only 2:33 left in the half, so we weren't likely to get the ball back in good field position.
  24. I think Malik is better than Quinn was last year.
