New SEC divisions and pods thread (Page 38 starts recent discussion)
"...and in the back of the end zone there's Xavier Worthy, diving for the ball...he caught it! Oh but Bob it looks like he landed in the prickly pear patch (sponsored by Deep Eddy) again...yeah he's probably done for the day. Another receiver falls victim to the cacti." We'd make so many great memories

Realignment talk not going away
Going negative $25MM YoY means the athletics departments are cutting entire sports at that point. Most of these schools are already subsidizing the AD either with direct transfers or high student fees. It also makes any type of long term planning very difficult or impossible - how do you spent on facilities or fund raise at that point, it's super tough. Same reason the PAC schools turned down Apple's earn-it offering; it's lack of guarantees. On top of all that, the low/no/negative rev sports are typically women's sports so now there's a Title IX issue on top of all of that...

Casey Thompson
Wonder if he's going to medical RS...year 7 here we go!

UTSA without Frank Harris.
Does losing to Army mean that surly is done meatriding Traylor now? There were many posts last season and summer about "I hope we bring in Traylor when Sark inevitably fails" "doing more with less" "just biding his time for Texas to call him up" etc (all paraphrased). Well he just lost to a service academy by 8, at home. That sure as hell ain't our standard.

Colorado vs Colorado State - ABC
I'm going to enjoy seeing USC and that fuck Caleb score 10,000 points on these guys.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
As evidenced by your prior take on PK, agreed.

Slow brained isn't always about the people. Sometimes it is. It's also about not having to think and process and react as much because the formations, calls, alignments, etc have changed every year with a different DC. Just having that consistency makes the same player look smarter and faster. "A bad plan executed well is better than a good plan with shit execution."- SMU @ OU - 5 pm CT ESPN+
Art Briles is a stain on humanity. You can tell he's been poking his disgusting face around looking to see if the fervor has quieted down enough for him to return to society, and after that maybe even to coaching a power CFB program. I'm happy that even the inbred fuckers from OU gave him the stiff arm, that's gotta sting. DIAF.- Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
Sark's best game he's called at Texas. Kept Bama off balance, adjusted after the half. Stayed aggressive even when we brainfarted a few times. Managed the clock well. Could have been 50 points if our receivers caught everything.- Realignment talk not going away
Good article with some fun background info. Thanks- Official Coach Sark Thread of Dominance—haters back off
Pretty funny line there about “what about all the coaches who aren’t his ex assistants? What’s their record?” …I mean Saban is the GOAT, what else can you say? Not only does he rarely screw up, he has a talent advantage versus almost everyone.- The college application/choice process
One of my friend's son attends the University of Puget Sound. He's a sophomore, plays football there. So far likes it and the photos of campus have been beautiful. But, it's a tiny tiny school compared to others on this list, so your daughter would really want to have the small school experience, which is not for everyone.- Realignment talk not going away
Unsurprising about CoB. Also was $500MM the cost of the retrofit? That might buy one-eigth of a new stadium construction in Cali... For reference: https://www.constructiondive.com/news/the-super-bowls-most-recent-stadiums-and-how-much-it-cost-to-build-them/642348/#:~:text=SoFi Stadium cost %245.5 billion,events like the Super Bowl.- Realignment talk not going away
WTF are you talking about? Texas/aggy and TX/arky are both coming back starting in '24. And oh BTW in the time since those rivalries had stopped being played each year I think that CFB has done kinda OK.- Realignment talk not going away

Fan? If I'm an Iowa fan I'm thrilled to have roadtrips Seattle and the PNW vs. recognizable brands in UW and UO. The Iowa Athletic Dept? I guess it depends on how this changes their cut.- Realignment talk not going away
In the modern realignment era have schools been processed out? Seems like the new way to do that is for the biggest fish to break away and leave the small fish in the carcass of the old conference.- Realignment talk not going away
It's mostly the BYU contingent here that is staying Utah is the worst thing ever. That's...expected? Everyone thinks their rivals are the worst thing ever and toss puppies into bonfires while laughing (except for OU, where they actually do that). Turn this around from the Utah perspective and I have empathy...the PAC brought them up to the big leagues. They've built themselves up as a legit power there and won it twice in a row now, taking down the likes of USC. If I were them I'd want things to remain the same too. They'll be fine in the Big12 and that's probably where they culturally belong anyway.- What new UT gear are you looking to buy this year?
Reminder: these just launched @ Co-op- Tell me about Iowa State
All true, but if you pull a Pete Rose...you're out- Realignment talk not going away
Yep you're right on that! No thanks on that bet. The point about access stands. If FSU plays to their standard, they should be fine to access the playoff in a weak ACC vs. the SEC/B1G. I disagree that the automatic entry for the top ranked conference champions will be stripped away - too many senators will get calls from angry alumni and start holding hearings plus it opens the antitrust door.- Realignment talk not going away
It probably does and should matter. If the revenue gap is $30MM, over 12 years that's $360MM; if it's $40MM over 12 years that is $480MM. Both are < $500MM...and even when that number gets negotiated down, are they willing to piss away their new financial windfall in the SEC/B1G to largely pay for the buyout? Where is the win there - just exposure? It looks dire today but FSU should also be patient. A year or two in the 12 team playoff will help them see how that's going to shake out. It may be worth it to only really have to compete with Clemson and Miami for the ACC autobid vs. running the gauntlet of the SEC/B1G. Plus I bet most years the ACC places 2 in which should mean 90% of the time FSU is in the playoff if they're playing to their standard. Half the battle is just going to be getting to the Big Dance for both exposure and the big bucks. I bet the playoff will be worth as much as the ACC's season TV rights are over again. If an ACC team makes the quarterfinals or championship they're going to pull down a lot of cash.- being offended
I do; and we're not talking about streaming or TV. We're talking about a Dreamworks produced, theatrically released movie. Maybe there are movies like TT hitting the theaters every weekend now and I just missed it? - Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
