    How do you quantify a “quality” opponent?

    I think Sankey defined it as another P4 opponent (or Notre Dame). In this scenario, other FBS opponents, including the new Pac-12, Sun Belt, and American won't cut it. "Strength of Schedule", indeed

    from 1826 to 1869 the land that would become the territory of wyoming was center-stage in the non-coastal history of the trans-mississippi

    9 of the 15 mountain man rendezvous were held in what would become wyoming

    south pass on the continental divide was the common point for 90% of the land traffic heading west before the golden spike

    fort bridger during the utah war was the largest us army encampment between 1815 and 1861

    Was Jim Bridger the mountain man who was mauled by a grizzly?

    My boy Graham with some wonder wordsmithing. What I think he's saying is that W-L don't matter when you look through the team's season based on SOS, conference play, conference champs. You know, the stuff that don't matter:

    Texas A&M football fans are well familiar with just how difficult the grind of an SEC schedule can be on a team over the course of an entire season. The Aggies have too often seen their squad trip up against a team that, while talented, is still in the lower level of the conference as far as win total.

    That in mind, it makes sense that the Aggies are often nearer to the top of advanced statistical profiles than they are in the polls, as the temptation towards an erroneously egalitarian view between the conferences is clear in pollsters' voting habits. However, when strength of record is calculated— the difficulty of achieving a given team's win-loss record against their schedule— A&M is nearly always shown to be better off than many teams ahead of them.

    The funniest part of Graham's verbal diarrhea is aspiring to finish 9-3.

    Most Gators I know enjoy the LSU game.   They want it on the schedule.  But it has been a brutal schedule as of late

    But, do y'all consider LSU a rival?

    Florida's 3 SEC rivals should include UGA, TN, and who else? I know somebody created a grid for the 3+6 format a while back. Compromises will have to be made for some teams.

    For example, who are USCe's 3 SEC rivals? I honestly don't know.

    LSU would probably want Bama, Florida and Arkansas 

    What about Ole Miss? I thought UF (and/or LSU) wanted to get out of this game annually. I don't think any team can honestly claim more than 3 rivals. I wouldn't cry over losing Arky.

    I bet several other SEC schools will whine like the little Cunts they are, again, that they have more than 3 "special" rivalry games each year that, "they can’t live without," as expected.  Lulz.

    Which team(s) in particular? aggy?

    They shouldn't claim any SEC games "special", other than UT, LSU, and maybe Arky. But, will LSU claim them?

    Well. we’re now SEC. Should we do as Aggie does?

    No

    IDGAF one way or the other, but it's chickenshit to claim 'em now, decades later.

    Good to hear. Any pussy schools still fighting it need to be publicly shamed.

    This should be a no-brainer if the money is right.

    SEC fans rejoice - one fewer cupcake game every season, home & homes with errbody every 4 years.

    This is all inject into my veins material, but if I see an OU TE do anything against us much less convert a crucial down or TD, I'm likely to have a grand mal from you shitting on their TE room so convincingly. 

    One week until kickoff, and we still don't know who the fuck OU's savior is gonna throw it to.

    Excellent

    ND press release reads like the leprechaun will be featured as a logo for every sport.

    It's not a bad football logo. Agree that it's unnecessary unless the athletic department will have one for other ND sports. Looks like they're taking a page from Wyoming and OSU, among others.College Sports Logos on X: "Wyoming and Oklahoma State have similar  athletic identities ranging from their sport-specific Pistol Petes to  script wordmarks.

    I like them but they feature a pet peeve of mine. I get that the more compact shoulder pads and tighter jerseys make it tough, but I hate it when the shoulder stripes stop above the armpit and don’t loops all the way down. 

    Somehow, UA gets it right for Lehigh. It just requires a different template or "chassis" in Nike lingo.

    It's hilarious, but it also matches how Bama itself claims titles, right?  So I get it.

    Bama, 0u, aggy...are you really SEC if you don't claim some obscure wire service's #1 ranking back in the 1920's and 30's?
