  1. I imagine Hamm hustling blowjobs was a part of the reason for his divorce, not some recent money-making scheme to avoid homelessness.
  2. If he commits I am going to take it to mean no Higgins and no Bru. #AdvantageSatya
  3. Take the loss, pussy?
  4. It was the excuse to make every cable subscriber in the NYC metro subsidize the B10 Network. The Big 10 has a ton of alums in the metro, but you need to have a local team to drive the getaway car from the theft.
  5. In 2015, it was Michigan State that started the season in the Top 10, not Michigan. Michigan State is even lower on the blue blood pecking order than Iowa.
  6. Yeah, but that is more because they didn't even hit the polls until Week 6. If OSU or Michigan State, both of whom started the season in the Top 10, played Iowa's schedule they would have been in the playoff discussion throughout the season and would have survived a loss and still made the playoffs because of where they started.
  7. Not going to watch a talking head...Iowa didn't get to the finish line, so we'll never know if they would have jumped into the playoffs. Their problems stem more from their starting point than their schedule. If OSU, Michigan, or Penn State played their schedule, even the talking heads wouldn't suggest they don't belong due to SOS. In fact, Wisconsin would probably be in the top 4 if they were undefeated and their schedule hasn't been that much harder than Iowa's up to this point. (OK, Michigan has proven itself a much better team than PSU, but both teams would have gone into the CCG having faced only two teams that were ranked at the time they played.)
  8. Meh. They have made a lot of money with the adds. There are now two more potential wins to add to the win totals of whichever Big 10 programs are at the top of the heap. The bottom of the Big 10 is so crappy, even having only 3 OOC games isn't a huge problem in protecting the records of their top teams. Their huge alumni base$ ensure that SOS will never be used by the playoff committee to judge a Big 10 team, so the diluted quality of football just makes playoff access even easier. Everyone says Penn State is now a nationally relevant program, but at this point in Year 5, James Franklin has won the same number of regular season games over ranked teams as Charlie Strong did at Texas in 3 years (5 games). He has also in Year 5 faced the same number of ranked teams in the regular season as Strong did in 3 years at Texas (15 games). No one ever says anything about the shitty SOS of a Big 10 team.
  9. Wait, are you saying I have panicked in vain over Kenyatta Watson II?
  10. No, in Year 8 they win 10 (though still finish 3rd in the West) and beat a BFD team in a bowl game. Jimbo gets another $60M guaranteed for 5 additional years and he never hits 10 wins in a season again.
  11. But he is announcing in the 'PAC'...
  12. More importantly, did he need stitches and have a dislocated shoulder before the trainers saw him?
  13. Less wife beating and murderous thugs, more Meemaw.
  14. Should have gone this route, but now he'll just get hired by Saban and have another P5 coordinator gig in 2 years.
  15. First, can't believe Durkin walks away with a dime, what a fucking crock. If this isn't 'cause' then they might as well just not bother adding that clause to a contract. Why don't they just Mike Leach him and let him try to get a dime? It's not like another coach won't willingly step into the breach...sure hasn't hurt Tech from hiring coaches and Leach didn't do anything comparable. The BOR should be fired and the students, Dr. Loh, and the McNair family should be allowed to tar, feather and run those sons of bitches off campus on a rail.
  16. You forgot the regular visits from Meemaw with cash money.
  17. I think it is pretty transparent. Whatever ESPN wants the committee will twist the evidence to support it.
  18. To get the conversation away from shitty realignment talk...I posted this on the aggy thread last week, but seems relevant when discussing how shitty the playoff committee is... Every single SEC team will play 1 FCS team by the end of the season. 7 of the 10 Big 12 teams will have played an FCS opponent. Every SEC team has scheduled 2 G5 this season as well. The Big 12 plays a total of 11 G5 teams. Oklahoma State (the only team with 2 G5 games) will be the only B12 team to play 9 P5 teams during the regular season, just like EVERY SEC team. All the rest of the Big 12 will play at least 10. Meaning only the two SEC CCG participants will have played as many P5 games before the bowls and playoffs as 9 of the 10 Big 12 teams. I imagine the comparisons to the schedules of other conferences won’t paint a much prettier picture of how the SEC is made up of teams that refuse to play as many difficult games as the rest of the country. The committee will hold up Baylor's shitty 3-game OOC in 2014 as a negative, but ignores the SEC for doing it for 3 of their 4-game OOC across the entire the fucking conference.
  19. A 'shhh' would have been a very appropriate response there, a shame he couldn't use it...
  20. It takes the strong smell of cash to lead a blind man to the Station.
  21. Their schedule has played completely into their hands. It is unbelievable just how bad some of the offenses are in the SEC this year. Kentucky would be lucky to have two conference wins in the Big 12. They have also been so completely lucky on the injury front. Their lack of depth at multiple positions was the talk of the pre-season, but they have avoided any real injury issues since the season started. If they had the injury luck we had at the start of either Strong or Herman's first half of their first seasons, aggy would already be needing multiple wins in these last 4 to have any hopes of making a bowl game.
  22. So he just adds a Bert to the background to make it perfect?
  23. The practical problem with going to 10 or above is then there is increased pressure to have all conference champs. That again limits the numbers of P5 teams that can be involved in an expanded playoffs and no media rights org wants anything to do with having to pay good money to stage games with that many G5 champs. The P5 also would also likely have to split a higher percentage with the G5 if they are putting up half the 'contenders'. 8 is a good number because you can set criteria on who gets in whether you stick with some crappy eye-test committee or BCS system for all 8 choices or just try to get the P5 champs autobids and give one spot to a G5 with only two beauty contestants for the final spots. 8 games is probably worth more TV money than 10 with only conference autobids.
