As I pointed out, that list doesn't pass the smell test. They deleted too many games. For obvious reasons, they deleted the mirror games. But they also deleted games vs. Big 10, SEC and ND. That gives you less of an idea how they do in bigger games.
You've got to be on drugs if you think Louisville is #3 or the North Carolina is ahead of only KU, UH and UCF.
Wouldn’t that give you the accurate data needed to see how they do on average?

What Shannon brings to the table is never going to score well with the recruiting rankings. That said, solid blocking TEs with good size and decent hands tend find themselves as vital contributors to rosters and the really good ones can unsexily go on to play for years in the NFL. I don't want to lose Shannon. Fortunately, the staff doesn't seem like they view the two players for the same role. How often has Sarkisian gone legit Aces in the past? Any? I haven't really thought about it.
Big time this. Robinson is a numbers buster and you take 3 for sure.

What I've said for a while now is that Gullette's been ready to commit to UT. Ohio State, according to some, has been running second. A member of the family thinks it would be prudent for him to finish his visits this fall. It's not clear that that family member will continue to win the conversation. Gullette's ACL injury shook him a bit. He wants to get it over with in recruiting before spots get filled by other guys that have big senior seasons and such. (Note: it really doesn't matter whether that could, in fact, happen to him. the logic on his end is sound with that concern and i challenge anyone here to say they wouldn't be nervous in the same way.)
Don't blame him one bit if that is his reasoning.

Except as that chart shows to the contrary. I don't have any real vested interest in which conference (without UT) draws more viewers or what any stats (dubious to some or not) reflect but i find it interesting that so many on here appear to have SUCH a vested interest.
That chart doesn't show shit really....

That analysis really is garbage. You'd need to control for opponents better than that as well as network and time slot. It wouldn't be easy and the sample size would hurt.
For example, Stanford is helped because they play Notre Dame every year.
That's why I wanted to see just conference games in that comparison.

What’s the context of that? Is it taken from all games or conference games? I’d be interested see conference games average of both not including UCLA, USC, Texas, or Oklahoma.

It’s possible that Stanford’s and Cal’s academic reputations won’t be sullied by associating with with their inferiors as long as the games are a night. When all the preening and posturing is done, they’ll be like all of the other greedy schools looking to turn a buck. The only difference is it will be longer plane to Manhattan than to Corvallis.
Hope both of those schools get left in the dark. Fucking regarded admins at both that would be happy to cut football

This dude called the USC/UCLA move back in April, and is now saying Big12 is waiting for t1 B10 rights to drop before B12 makes a move. Looks like they're trying to add Cal, Stanford, Arizona and Colorado.
read the whole thread he posted.
99% of the shit he post doesn’t happen. He gets lucky 1% of the time. He’s a fool

We were already named in Wilson’s top 5 he announced a few weeks ago. I took Gerry’s comments to mean we’re even further along in this recruitment than most people realize. Would be a major coup from the state of Florida with a haul of Kirkland, Baxter, Hall and Wilson 🤘🏼
Biggest coup from Florida for us since?

Nobody wanted 6’3” tackles. Cosmi weighed 250. 2 best OL for Texas recently were under-weight. It is not a terrible strategy to take movement over size. Those kids are probably more high risk/high reward. Herman’s biggest issue wasn’t the type of Offensive linemen he recruited, it was the lack of numbers. Luckily that will not be a problem for Sark and Flood. You take 12-13 in 2 years, you should be able to find at least 5 solid OL out of that group
Exceptions aren’t the rules.

Used to be with the Jets.
Doubled down, so his 15 minutes of fame probably end tomorrow afternoon:
I tried checking some message boards. Claims to be ISU fan and Des Moines journo but nothing on his tweets today in ISU's realignment thread. 247 writer for FSU said 2 hours ago that he hasn't heard any rumblings and nothing seems imminent with the Pac. 'Strong' expansion candidate SD St doesn't even have a 247 message board...
In other news reported by that Flagstaff 'journo' who tweeted this morning AZ, WA, and Utah to B12:
@name having no visible relation to the claimed name is always a good sign.
From a blue check:
Boise St Jobs Corps coming across as maybe not an optimal academic, cultural fit...
He's got future Chairman written all over him.
That quote is why the PAC will fail.
