  1. Well if you got rid of targeting, that would shorten the typical game by 10 minutes!
  2. 2 is stupid. 1 is probably not necessary. Just make the 2nd one a 30 second.
  3. On a shorter time frame, with those 7 + Colorado (who is way down, but has had past success), you get 53 of the last 55 titles (and 60 of 62) and all but 13 of the top 3 finishers in the AP Poll over those 55 years. Literally, the only other teams to crack the top 3 going back to 1968 are TCU (3 times), Pitt (2 times including #1), BYU (#1), Okie St., SMU, Stanford, Utah, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech (who had a coaches MNC that year), and Arizona St.
  4. Good point. If you didn't use your outright, you still only add Kentucky to the list (a couple of shared titles in the 70s).
  5. Nobody in the SEC particularly wants the sooners, pigs or aggy.
  6. Georgia-Tennessee rarely played before the SEC went to divisions. they had only played 21 times at that point and 11 of those games were 1925 and earlier. Auburn is still VASTLY more of a rivalry than Tennessee to UGA. Only Minnesota-Wisconsin have played more times than Georgia-Auburn in FBS with 127 games. By comparison, Texas-OU is 118. Alabama-Auburn is 87.
  7. After North Carolina, its the 2nd most populous state not in the P2 already.
  8. Yeah. The piecemeal leads to a lot of suboptimal results.
  9. Interesting. Good fast pitch softball is pretty boring. Softball can be more entertaining with lesser teams, but some of Division I softball players are really poor. Can't throw. Can't hit. (I'm not talking about Big 12 players-there are 32 division I conferences).
  10. Utah's coach said about 1/3 of his athletes were Samoan. BYU will start getting more of those.
  11. Well they don't have to pay until Feb. 2025.
  12. Probably looks kind of like the MAC. Different winner every year.
  13. Nobody has never been more unequal with new members than the Big 10. One year Rutgers made $11 million, Maryland $26 million while the recurring members made $54 million. Nebraska had about a $60 million buy-in, probably bigger than anyone ever. Rutgers and Maryland are far worse. You never hear about the Big 10 wanting to share their wealth with other conferences. Instead, they have stripped members from the Pac 12, Big 12, ACC and Big East. Nobody is greedier than the Big 10 and nobody struts more about their "equal" revenue sharing than the Big 10.
  14. I think you could either do aggy-pig or sooner-pig. If you do sooner-pig, give aggy their probation brothers in Starkville. The only other alternative for these 4 would be aggy-sooner with the pigs going to Starkville.
  15. Don't you remember? Both are maroon schools with dogs as mascots and about the only time they won big was when Jackie Sherrill was busy getting them on probation!
  16. And OU is probably the closest school to the pigs.
  17. Alabama-Tennessee is a must. Tennessee is probably 1st wish on UK and VU's list. Florida/Tennessee wasn't a big game prior to the East/West divisions. Now for TV reasons, UK may get screwed. In basketball, they had UK-UF play twice and UK-Tennessee only once, because at the time, UK and UF were the basketball powers, when UK and Tennessee were probably first on each other's list. So we will see.
  18. Good interview with Brett McMurphy. Brett is from start to about 24 minutes. Pony guy gives his thoughts for about 5 minutes, then he talks SMU basketball. Brett said he had NEVER seen a commissioner go to a campus before the invitation before. Thought their statement was really weird and gave off the impression of the dreaded vote of confidence. Fox will not be a part of the Pac deal so ESPN and Amazon are just bidding against themselves. Deal could be in next couple of weeks, but late March/early April most likely. SMU and SDSU invitations are when, not if. G5 is obsolete. Thinks NIL and media rights gap make a split inevitable. Lots of schools want out of ACC, so when they think they can get out of GOR, its likely to be chaos. In is personal opinion, he doesn't see the Big 10 leaving USC and UCLA on an island. He thinks Big 10 still wants to expand more in the west, but is not ready. He thinks its inevitable that they do take more from the Pac, but they will have to act quickly or wait a few years. Pony guy says SMU has been talking a lot for over a year with ACC, Big 12 and Pac 12.
  19. We're pretty obvious and easy. Georgia getting Florida, Auburn and South Carolina is pretty obvious. Most of the rest, the 3rd team could be several options.
  20. What you clearly don't know is that holding happens on every play and has to be pretty egregious before the refs flag it.
  21. With pods, everyone in the pod plays each other. With guaranteed rivals, your rivals might not play each other.
  22. I can't feel good about the Dickerjames school getting back in the big time. Much prefer Rice to get that slot. SMU is the one who deserved to get permanently relegated. The only good thing they ever did after Doak Walker and Jerry LeVias, was letting Dickerson keep the Gold Trans Am aggy gave him.
  23. A clear hold when he was beat and needed to slow his man. Would have been a clear TD. How is that weak? Fuck Philly and their douchebag coach Uh, the guy was wide open if Mahomes had hit him.
  24. I would have tried on 3rd down. Agree on going down on 2nd.
  25. Chiefs deserve a blocked kick run back for a TD.
