  1. Doesn't get called 95% of time. Pretty minor. Fix is in. Game deciding penalty vs. Bengals. Penalty takes any remaining time away from Eagles.
  2. Well if you don't consider what fans want, then its ok. Disrespectfully, you are a mathematical idiot if you think any scheduling is fair when you are in one division and miss 6 out of the other 15 schools.
  3. First 10 were all SWC members at some point.
  4. If you have 15 other teams and only play 9 others and don't play divisions and talk about competitive balance, you are a liberal arts major. You have no concept of math. The Big 10 was pretty random when they had 1 or 2 every year rivals and played 8 out of the other 10 after PSU joined. Some mediocre team would get lucky on the schedule and win or compete for the title. When you miss 6 out of 15, there is no competitive balance. So you schedule 2 rivals with 8 games and 3 with 9. With one rival, you end Alabama-Tennessee, which was both schools biggest game for decades. Auburn-Alabama has only overtaken it in recent decades. And you end Auburn-Georgia, the most played rivalry in the SEC and 2nd most in FBS. Georgia leads 63-56-8 after winning the last 6. It just makes no sense.
  5. My son goes to Auburn. aggy was playing at Auburn the day after a parent's night. We decided about 3 weeks before to go to parent's night. The closest hotel we could find was in the Atlanta suburbs! if you are going to an Auburn game, plan well ahead.
  6. You don't understand what makes the SEC special. Georgia hates Auburn, Georgia Tech and Florida the way we hate OU. South Carolina and Tennessee are pretty fierce too. When they play Clemson, its somewhere between the top 3 and S. Carolina and Tennessee. Back in the SWC days we had OU at the top and UH, aggy and pig at a lower level. Now its just OU with Baylor/Tech/TCU all well below how Georgia views Tennessee.
  7. Sounds like projection to me. That's a mirror you are looking into, not a window.
  8. Sounds like the $20 million to Fox ($10 apiece) is all we are paying to get out early.
  9. Its either not true or it has something to do with Fox.
  10. I miss the Big 12 1.0, when CU and NU were good, BU was Kansas bad, KSU had Bill Snyder 1.0 and we had an offensive line, Ricky, Major, VY and Colt.
  11. Daniel Figurelli got a grad degree there. Close thread?
  12. I guess it depends on ESPN paying for the extra conference game. But 1+7 isn't going to happen. It might be 2+6 or 3+5. Georgia isn't going to have to choose between Auburn and Florida. Alabama isn't going to have to choose between Auburn and Tennessee.
  13. For some reason I'm not getting this and don't feel like messing with it. Is it red and blue window Cougars?
  14. No we won't. We did chant S-E-C, S-E-C as everyone was beating the pigs out the door. We may sing sha-na-na-na hey-hey good-bye.
  15. https://big12sports.com/news/2023/2/9/conference-big-12-announces-agreement-for-withdrawal-of-oklahoma-and-texas.aspx An official version! Finally done!
  16. Doesn't fit. The Cherokee in Oklahoma had slaves!
  17. Yeah. UH is better than most of the SEC where we are headed.
  18. So you are too stupid to understand that history matters. You are lightyears from having a coherent mind. if you think UH is in a war zone, you should go to USC's campus. I don't hear that being used as an argument against them. And you forgot, Guy didn't win with Elvin Hayes either, another of the top 50. So 3 of the top 50 got recruited to UH. And Houston IS #2 right now in basketball, having spent some time at #1, not even being in a P5. And not being in a P5, they did win a NY6 bowl and finish in the top 10. When I was in school, UH was a bigger rival than aggy, because aggy was...aggy. Not as big as the pigs or land thieves, but bigger than the farmers.
  19. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/smu-mustangs/2023/02/08/smu-rumored-pac-12-expansion-candidate-keeps-commissioners-visit-under-the-radar/ Pac commissioner pictured at SMU basketball game tonight.
  20. Actually, I think Houston was the one essential addition for the Big 12. Even more than SDSU for the Pac, they were needed for visibility in Houston. For the press they get in Houston, Texas Tech and TCU might as well be Iowa St. Baylor isn't much better, but there are a few alums.
  21. People forget. Houston has been competitive in a major conference. They won the SWC in football 3 of their first 4 years. They had Phi Slamma Jamma (for you youngsters-Hakeem Olajuwon, Clyde Drexler, Michael Young, et. al. and 3 straight trips to the final 4). Houston is the surest bet of the group. Maybe the pros limit their upside compared to UCF, but they have proven themselves and don't have a potential ceiling caused by a religious connection.
  22. When you look at the Sic-em TV ratings analysis, SDSU and SMU are both 3rd in their conferences. MWC is Boise then Fresno, then SDSU is just a little ahead of the pack. AAC remainders are USF, Memphis and then SMU is just a little ahead of the pack.
  23. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/pac-12-expansion-with-san-diego-state-smu-may-be-necessary-before-league-inks-new-media-rights-deal/ Pony Express is necessary to save Pac. They ARE in pretty bad shape. Forget SDSU. Take the Owls and Ponies. "... the Pac-12 has focused its efforts on evaluating San Diego State and SMU. Pac-12 commissioner Georgia Kliavkoff has already toured San Diego State, CBS Sports previously learned. He is planning to visit SMU on Wednesday, according to Brett McMurphy. The Pac-12's next media rights deal will be heavily reliant on a digital streaming partner. Significantly more than half of each season's Pac-12 football games will be primarily available via streaming as part of the conference's next rights deal, sources tell CBS Sports. Such a ratio is unprecedented for a Power Five conference and for whichever streaming giant becomes the first to more fully embrace college sports. The move would likely upset Pac-12 coaches, athletic directors and administrators who rely on widespread visibility for their games via linear (cable) and network platforms for everything from athletic recruitment to university enrollment. The Pac-12 has long suffered from substandard distribution resulting after deciding to go with the standalone, wholly owned Pac-12 Networks. A heavy streaming deal would further limit the conference's visibility. The next Pac-12 deal is expected to be split between a streaming service and ESPN. With the Pac-12 seemingly unable to reach its compensation target -- believed to be approximately $30 million to $35 million per program annually -- it appears to be urgent for the conference to expand as a condition of completing a deal in the monetary range it seeks...."
  24. And its pretty typical from 70 years ago.
  25. That is kind of the opposite of everybody else. All the other reports are that the sides reached an impasse on Friday. Maybe Texas/OU/Big 12 agreed, but ESPN and Fox did not.
