    I think the transfer portal will hurt the product on the field way worse than NIL...How do you build a championship team with depth at critical positions when players can transfer out with no repurcussions? I mean positions like the Line where it takes time to develop...I know starters won't transfer, but you always need good depth on the bench..

    The company I work for had a reduction in force just a week ago due to seeing signs of a downturn in the economy. It's a fortune 500 company that processes credit card transactions for banks, basically an acquirer company that takes credit card transactions from multiple terminals, authorizes them, puts them in a file and ships them off to banks. We also have other types of payment applications that I am not involved with, but we basically do all kinds of financial type stuff involving bank cards and mobile payments. We usually do pretty well when the economy goes down a little because people start using credit more, but this time around for some reason they are reducing force right now while the economy is just starting to show signs of a downturn..Not sure if that means it is about to get bad..

    I agree, the Big 12 version 1.0 was pretty exciting to watch at times, but it won't touch the SEC for me once OU and Texas join...It was still a great conference with regional rivalries... I think the only thing that would have put the Big 12 Version 1.0 over the new version of the SEC for me would have been if Arky and LSU were members, and if OU had been able to play Nebraska every year on Thanksgiving...

    Im ready for them to join the SEC now...The SEC west match ups between Arkansas, LSU, A&M, Texas, and OU are all going to be beyond exciting to watch..And, then we get to watch Texas play BAMA, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee ever so often as icing on the cake....The beer sales in my area are going to go way up...

    I don't think the SEC or their network will let that happen...Not without a big fight anyway...It's a good thing Texas doesn't have any schools left for realignment that would be appealing to the BIG...I'm sure they would love to plant a flag in Texas too.

    I agree, I can't see how taking USC/ UCLA, and then leaving them way out on an island will work out long term. I mean USC/ UCLA will have to take what they can get, but I doubt they will be happy with all the travel for their student athletes.. I think the BIG has to take some other schools in the PAC to get a good strong hold on recruiting in California and make it BIG territory..

    So, it will be like the Democrats in Congress when Trump was President? This has been a bad precedent for a while...

    Fair enough on the Linebackers, that would be a good haul...Just saying it seems like PK is in a tough situation with how crappy the D looked last year and then they went out and hired Patterson. It seems like the same situation when Mack hired Robinson to have him on staff when Diaz was on the hot seat. Just another negative that can be used against him on the recruiting trail.
  9. Azbadlands
    Thats probably why the recruiting for Dline and LB isn't going so well. People probably whispering in recruits ears he is getting canned this year and look they brought in Patterson to probably replace him mid season..Gonna be hard for PK to sale his scheme when everyone thinks for good reason that he is probably getting fired.

    They bring a huge metro area outside of Texas in Denver and outlying cities like Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. But, you are right, they do suck, and don't deserve crap...

    Agreed, The PAC is Big 12 version 2.0 right now; except, UO and UW aren't Texas and OU. They can't make a weak conference somewhat relevant...The PAC was dieing even with USC. UW and UO have to get out..Seems like the ACC could maybe use them and Stanford to try to keep from being the next conference that gets picked apart. Maybe the BIG will someday want them if USC and UCLA prove to be too far out on an island.. If i'm the 4 corner schools, im taking the Big 12 lifeline now, and hope that forces UO and UW to have to come with. If i'm UW, UO, or even Stanford, i'm not signing any longterm agreement, GOR, or anything with exit penalties right now to stay in the PAC, if there is any hope at all to get out to a better conference in the future..They are all in a bad spot..

    Wouldn't the Big 12 at 8 members be more likey to get poached by the PAC than do the poaching? It would only take the PAC poaching 1 of the 8 to make the whole thing crumble...
  13. Azbadlands
    I wouldn't take UofA over ASU..But, if UW is actually splitting with UO and joining the BIG 12 to force UO's hand, then I guess the Big 12 will probably end up with all 6 schools. The 4 corners plus UO and UW?
  14. Azbadlands
    For sure. I think UO and UW want out just as bad, but they don't want the Big 12, obviously...So they will try to screw the 4 corner schools with big time unequal revenue sharing in case the BIG or ACC falls through for them. I think UO and UW are destined for the ACC along with Stanford and someone else, maybe someone else from the PAC.
  15. Azbadlands
    You mean ASU's new stadium? It was pretty nice the last time I was there to watch them play Oregon a year or so ago...Definitely better than what they had before when both the Sun Devils and Cardinals played there..
  16. Azbadlands
    Utah and ASU seem to have a decent following...
  17. Azbadlands
    So basically the Big 12 poaches the 4 corner schools first, and then when UW and Oregon do not get the offer they want from the BIG or ACC, they follow and join the Big 12? Maybe even Stanford as well will eventually be forced into the Big 12? It will be interesting to see how the BIG or ACC reacts if/ when the Big 12 poaches the 4 corner schools.. Going to be a crazy month or 2..
  18. Azbadlands
    They can always join the Big 12, but it is not ideal for them since they recruit Cali and a lot of their boosters and alumni are in Cali...

    I can't remember the last time we had a great Dline or Oline or even a decent group of Linebackers and the draft has shown it. I guess Colt's Sophomore year maybe was the last group of decent Oline? How many O linemen has Texas had in the last decade plus that could even get significant playing time at another decent D1 school in the last decade plus? Maybe 5? At least the recruiting on Dline and Oline is looking up now.

    No shit, and maybe the strength and conditioning coach too, the players looked soft, slow, and tired every game...

How can cheap Ivermectin save an elderly man on his Covid death bed?
  22. Azbadlands
    I hope he is killing himself on the recruiting trail like Mack claimed he was in Florida before he got canned.

    To walk the Gooner fans back away from the ledge...Basically, just to say OU football will live on and still be great, and to let Stoops put a positive spin on it...

    The first part could be real trouble for his buddy. The second part seems murky though because the friend was, according to Kyle's testimony, purchasing the gun for himself, and the friend stored it at his own house which seems like a lawyer could argue as evidence he actually owned it... Kyle had no access to the gun unless the friend loaned it to him which seems like more evidence the friend owned it... I'm not saying KR's not in trouble for giving the buddy the money, who knows? Just seems like his lawyers coached him well on what to say in the trial about the ownership of the gun. I'm sure they know the Federal law...
  25. Azbadlands
    Agreed ...I think Kyle's testimony was the gun was to be purchased for his friend though until he (KR) turned 18, and he could buy it from him..So his buddy may be in some real trouble for buying the gun and letting him use it; especially, if an actual crime had been committed with the gun. The jury found KR NOT guilty though...Doesn't that throw a wrench in the FEDs case? What was the crime committed? That he gifted him the money to purchase a gun for himself? He bought the gun in his name and stored it at his house and loaned it to a friend who was found to have committed no crime with the gun in a court of law...
