  1. And maybe Riley knew something the rest of us didn't when he cut and ran for the coast. His cupboard may have been empty. And he took what was valuable there with him.
  2. Georgia is actually just outside the Atlanta metro area, but only about 75 minutes from downtown Atlanta. Georgia State and Georgia Tech are both in downtown Atlanta. KSU is about 25 miles NW. They have an 8300 seat stadium. The way it is aligned, it will be difficult to expand. Its nice and relatively new, but little. Atlanta United sometimes plays there. Atlanta United 2 uses it as its home base (think AAA soccer). KSU has 40,000 students and on campus housing, but the kids all go home on weekends, so its a lot like a commuter campus. Baseball, softball and basketball are also new, nice and small, but they are probably big enough for CUSA.
  3. Oregon AD Mullens, originally from WVU, was interviewed on TV there and made the comment that TV and USC/UCLA broke the regional tradition and that there was going to be more and more change. Didn't say anything specific, but definitely supported the idea that UW and Oregon might move to the Big 10.
  4. had a chance to get fired up. Now I wasn't at UH 1990 or Ricky's 1998 game. Those, especially UH, you could tell even on TV they were loud. Those are the only two that possibly exceed that Tech game.

  6. That was only the first year. After that, we tended to win late. That definitely was a problem in past years I haven't seen much this year.
  7. I still don't understand why anyone should line up offsides. All you have to do is look. But I see more lineup offsides penalties (not talking about Texas in particular) than I do jump offsides. Just stupid.
  8. O line still needs to figure out how to open holes for the runners.
  9. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/pac-12-in-danger-of-eventual-collapse-as-big-ten-considers-further-expansion-big-12-interest-looms/ "...An offer deemed substantial enough would likely convince Big Ten presidents that California, Oregon, Stanford and Washington would be valuable additions to the league from the Pac-12. That figure is believed to be less than $100 million annually. If the Big Ten makes such a move, it would almost certainly increase the likelihood the Big 12 is able to get some combination of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah from the Pac-12, thus crushing the Pac-12 and hanging Oregon State and Washington State out to dry. "If that [Big Ten move] happens, I think the other [four Pac-12] schools will want to jump to our league," said a Big 12 source familiar with the situation.... Industry chatter has Oregon State and Washington State moving to the Mountain West if the Pac-12 collapses. At that point, the MWC would replace the Pac-12 as the largest FBS conference completely located in the Mountain and Pacific Time Zones. Adding to the intrigue, the Big Ten and Big 12 share the same media rights consultant, Endeavor, a global sports and entertainment company.... It is believed the Big Ten's current rightsholders, Fox and ESPN, remain opposed to the conference expanding further. It is in the best interests of both networks for there to be a Pac-12, if for no other reason than cost certainty. After losing out on the new Big Ten deal, ESPN aims to acquire games that can be played in the "fourth window" -- after 10 p.m. Fox already has games in that window through its agreement with the Mountain West. As the Big Ten's primary partner, Fox would likely consider four additional Pac-12 schools "dilutive" to the Big Ten product. Opponents of Big Ten expansion continue to scratch their heads wondering how Cal, Oregon, Stanford and Washington can bring enough value to the conference. The answer? They don't. At least at first glance. However, Warren's play may be to get in on the ground floor with Amazon during a time in which when streaming is further catching up with linear cable...." Fox chose not to bid for the Pac going forward. They may consider it dilutive, but they still get better picks than any new bidder. ESPN obviously would like to get Pac schools cheap, but they don't have much influence over the Big 10.
  10. https://www.si.com/college/2022/09/24/acc-suspended-referee-who-botched-call-in-notre-dame-vs-cal-per-report Be nice if the Big 12 did this. ACC suspended the referee who called a fake offsides on Cal on a missed ND FG that lead to a ND TD.
  11. If you fumble it and it goes out of the endzone it has always been a touchback and you lose possession.
  12. Well I was accurate on this one so far. The fire Sark thread has popped up. Maybe things will come together and I will be wrong on the 2nd sentence, but I'm not optimistic.

    Hudson Card

    Actually its kind of stupid. He made one bad play on the INT. He missed an open guy in the end zone. Guess what, Bijan fumbled in OT. Card is better than most (if not all) of the QBs we have had except for Major/Chris/Vince/Colt going back to Robert Brewer in the early 80s and he's playing on a gimpy ankle. Sure, Ewers is better. But Card is plenty good enough. Our receivers and RBs are good enough. Our O line, play calling and defense are not.
  14. A couple of our penalties were total boneheads. Looked like a Charlie Strong team. Offsides and PI on a 3rd and 26??????
  15. At least our penalties were all real this week and not just fantasy.
  16. KU has won 4 games in a season for the first time since 2009. They had won 23 total games since starting 5-0 in 2009. I knew they were bad, but they have finished last in the Big 12 12 of the last 13 years. One year they went 1-8 and ISU went 0-9 so they were 9th.
  17. He hasn't proven he can do better than a 4 loss season anywhere.
  18. Uh. We drove from the 25 to FG range in 25 seconds. That's heart. Plenty of things to complain about, but that isn't one of them.
  19. I didn't have too much trouble with turtling there. But we turtled on every drive in the 2nd half.

    30 and 16

    And we were eating their lunch out there.
  21. They wanted it more. Their QB just overpowered our defenders on all those 4th downs, but our RBs couldn't push their defenders. We only had to stop him one of those times and we win the game. I think their receivers only dropped one ball all day. It was like they had superglue all over their uniform. Sorry play calling in the 2nd half never allowed the offense to move. They kept doing the same plays that kept getting 2-3 yards. Plus the defense couldn't get off the field to give the offense any rhythm. But props to the guys for getting that FG with only 25 seconds. Sark loses another close game.
  22. Had the Texas-USC Rose Bowl on LHN last night. Couple times the camera showed the co-offensive coordinators of the Trojans. A REALLY young Lane Kiffin and a REALLY young Steve Sarkasian.
  23. Realistically, the SEC is more equal. They really don't protect anyone. So I wouldn't make that argument.
  24. Buck Rogers was an awful show, but she made it watchable.
