Where would ND move hockey if not the B1G? ACC supports everything else, including lacrosse. I guess ND could've petitioned Hockey East for membership to be with Boston College and Providence, among others.

St. Prime? Triple word score for "hagiography" and, yes, I think CU is in deep shit too. At least short-term. Their first 5 games are brutal.

Liucci as the lapdog is the chef's kiss. One of you assholes should share it with him. Maybe add AD Bjork holding a shotgun to Jimbo's back?

I don't think Nebraska will ever be back. The Big 12 nixed Prop 48/partial qualifiers, which was a sticking point leading to their decline. B1G doesn't accept them either. Where are they getting recruits these days? I don't care enough about Corn to look.

@Al_4_ISU I like the colors on your 2013 throwback better. What did that helmet look like, anyway? How long were the ISU teams called the AMES?

Fear? What aggy frightened you?

Is that you, Dr. Jones?

What to Know Affect is usually a verb meaning "to produce an effect upon," as in "the weather affected his mood." Effect is usually a noun meaning "a change that results when something is done or happens," as in "computers have had a huge effect on our lives." There are exceptions, but if you think of affect as a verb and effect as a noun, you’ll be right most of the time.

Where does Robert Plant do his grocery shopping anyway?

We only get 4 SEC home games every other year, right, with a 9-game league slate?

Definitely not an upgrade. Silver stripes on white? Those get washed out, so why bother?

This reads like a lot of these PAC assclowns deserve each other. Or perhaps he's giving CU an out if Klownkoff doesn't deliver?

Then why are we moving to the SEC? Reason #1 is more TV money due to better, higher-rated games. Agree our future non-conference opponents has no effect, short-term. But, what about the next contract? Doesn't it make good, business sense to keep ESPN happy?

When will the SFA acquisition be finalized? All the more reason to throw them a bone to help raise their athletic profile. Home win, help out a UT system school, and keep the money in-house. Win, win, win

SFA is joining the WAC. They'll be a low-level FBS team, moving forward, along with UTRGV now that I think about it. We can schedule home games with them, too, once they get ramped up.

...and ESPN should. Hell, fans and alumni who buy season tickets should raise hell too. Yeah, ESPN can dump the lesser, Tier 3 games onto SEC Network. But, no SEC or P5 team should be scheduling FCS stinkers. That's what the Sun Belt and CUSA is for. With a 12-Team playoff, one or even 2 losses doesn't necessarily hurt the bluebloods.

No, I didn't watch the TX legislative meetings. Now I understand where you're coming from. Wouldn't playing TX tier 2 schools, who don't expect a return visit, accomplish the same thing as playing LA directional teams?

Ranking my favorite B1G opponents; Ohio St Michigan Penn St Wisconsin Iowa MN Fuck everybody else, especially Corn and UMD

One reason - the networks are pining for it. Helps with future TV contracts. One marquee OOC game against the P5's best is doable.

No, what? You don't want to play Tech, TCU, and BU again, ever? Louisiana directional games suck, IMO. I'd rather play a Texas tier 2 program. Home & home with GaTech wouldn't be bad. Exposure to ATL recruits. If I had to rank my preferred ACC opponents, it'd look like this; FSU Clemson UNC GaTech Miami Pitt Louisville UVA I don't really care about the others. But, to each his own.

I don't know of any Big 12 alumni who really "wanted us gone". None with a fully functioning brain, anyway. I must be in the minority who'd like to play Tech and others home & home every now and then.

I don't think it's realistic for any P5 not to expect a return game at home. But, yeah, I don't see the point in playing K-State.

Assuming the SEC moves to a 9-game, 3-6-6, league schedule to maximize TV revenues, I think our 3 future OOC games should include; a made for TV game against the top B1G, ACC, and what's left of the PAC (or MWC if it implodes). Notre Dame, obviously. Home & home a match-up against former Big 12/SWC teams. They'll expect home & home, too a TX-based D1 program; UTSA, UTEP, Texas St, ACU, SFA, SHSU, UNT, and SMU. We've really loaded up on our system schools, moving forward, playing one every season thru 2031. These are home games. Future schedules align like this, but what's the point in playing Wyoming? Or San Jose St? Yes, they're home games and should be gimme wins, but have gotta be TV ratings losers. Colorado St is okay, I guess, as a home cupcake. But, I'd rather see Tech, BU, TCU, UH, and OSU on some type of rotation for nostalgia. I don't want to play any of them too often. Indifferent to KU, KSU, and ISU. We really don't need as many cupcakes with a 12-team CFB Playoff, so I'd rather play fewer stinkers if it can be avoided. I think season ticket holders will agree. TV partners are pushing for it, too.
