  1. ASU fans on twitter asking for Crow's head they are pissed he is not in position to go tonight. They seem to think he will screw it up somehow. Oh and then this:
  2. Did not see in the thread but the good news is Oregon will save the PAC 12. He hedges his bets saying the PAC 12 could still die.
  3. Yea, that is why I liked the proposed pods because it protects the few legitimate rivals that exist which is very few. All non Texas schools are going to want to play in Texas every year so how they rotate will be interesting. Maybe POD 2 and 3 flip two teams a piece.
  4. One can be rattled off for most but not all of these schools but then the second is a struggle and what about the third?
  5. Mike was asked the question about permanent rivals if BIG 12 goes to a 6-3 schedule. Guy said Arizona State and................Utah just cuz everyone hates Utah right now and ........... crickets. So looking at the map who would be the permanent rivals. Even the Texas school don't have who they consider a rival.
  6. Here is the problem for ESPN with FSU and Clemson being stuck in the ACC for long time. They will not be able to recruit and the product will suffer and and as a consequence the ratings will suffer. What seems to be a great deal now will not be as good after some years of suckage. See all our 11 am starts of the last few years. Teams with large followings need to be competitive and play in interesting games to rake in the ratings bonanza. To me that is what the networks have been doing with all this movement. They were tired of crappy OOC schedules and conference schedules so you extend the playoffs to give teams an incentive to concentrate power in 2 conferences. Change the auto bids in 2026 and now you have a mini NFL and the sooner the better.
  7. Has Oregon scheduled a board meeting yet or has Phil not called with his decision yet?
  8. I don't see how FSU is going to win unless all of a sudden ESPN is magically on their side and they find "lost" documents that support FSU's claims that Swofford misrepresented what ESPN was telling him. Why would ESPN do such a thing? ESPN figures out that even if they pay more for FSU and Clemson in the SEC while Fox gets North Carolina and Miami they can save money between 2024 and 2036 by buying the remaining teams very cheaply. The networks are playing these conferences like a fiddle to their benefit and it may not be what FSU has got but more what ESPN wants that breaks up the ACC early.
  9. Point me to them, since I said most and not just a few message board geniuses.
  10. Well you have a stronger opinion on it than most Texas fans here on Surly. We don't care and find it funny that the CFB community thinks we care. Teams doing horns down other than OU. Texas fans reaction.
  11. Tony is now exited to no end about the PAC's demise.
  12. It is finally starting to set in since they are no longer putting themselves in the consideration lists.
  13. Now you talked me into it, Utah to the BIG 12.
  14. It is not that they have forgotten, it is that the can't do math.
  15. May says it all, without a doubt wild speculation
  16. Talking about crying, USC actually is a blue blood but you sound like an aggy in other threads.
  17. That is because the PAC 10, BIG 12 and ACC where the conferences with only one or two big fish at any one time and tons of dead weight and thay needed to get paid. The BIG 10 was similar but other than Michigan State, Northwestern and Purdue they were made up of a state flagship institutions, so I guess the big fish felt those guys carried their weight. In the summer of 2010 Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, USC, UCLA, FSU and Miami as institutions all missed out on the opportunity to have some real vision . They should have gotten together and formed their own conference then invited state flagships or their preferred dead weight. Conference would have probably started in 2012 if what I am reading about TV contract timelines is correct. In the old way of thinking: East: FSU, Miami, North Carolina, Duke Midwest: Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Clemson/Virginia Tech (based on the times) Southwest: Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech West: USC, UCLA, Arizona, Oregon (They were the PAC 10 champ at the time) I think that would have left the BIG 10 scrambling and the SEC would have taken some nice left overs. Also, the last damn decade would not have happened because I think such a conference would have been the place to be and the SEC would have not dominated as much.
  18. During their pre-BIG12 run in which they were ranked no lower than 20 when they played Texas teams they knew the value of being in the state every year. Then they got shut out because they left the conference. After joining the PAC 12 they played Texas State in 2017 so that is one Texas opponent between 2011 and 2019 and it was on the PAC12 Network. September 4, 1989 5:30 pm Texas* No. 14 Folsom Field Boulder, Colorado ESPN W 27–6 47,269 September 22, 1990 5:30 pm at No. 22 Texas* No. 20 Texas Memorial Stadium Austin, TX ESPN W 29–22 77,373 September 14, 1991 12:00 pm No. 23 Baylor* No. 12 Folsom Field Boulder, Colorado KCNC L 14–16 50,754 September 12, 1992 11:00 am at Baylor* No. 12 Floyd Casey Stadium Waco, TX KCNC W 57–38 34,202 September 4, 1993 5:30 pm Texas* No. 11 Folsom Field Boulder, Colorado ESPN W 36–14 52,125 September 11, 1993 12:00 pm No. 24 Baylor* No. 10 Folsom Field Boulder, Colorado KCNC W 45–21 50,281 October 1, 1994 1:30 pm at No. 16 Texas* No. 5 Texas Memorial Stadium Austin, TX ABC W 34–31 77,809 September 23, 1995 1:30 pm No. 3 Texas A&M* No. 7 Folsom Field Boulder, Colorado (College GameDay) ABC W 29–21 53,849 (Poooor Aggggy) In addition to playing in Texas they were playing Notre Dame and Michigan with lots of national exposure. The above run is why us olds remember Colorado as a really good program instead of the garbage they are today.
  19. Yea I made the post in the context of responding to someone saying Cincy and UCF were not worth it. Those of us that witnessed Colorado being competitive in the BIG12 knew it was their ability to recruit Texas. Didn't they also do prop 48 like Nebraska before the BIG12?
  20. @BurntOrange&White put it in general terms I will give you an example. Colorado was a real attractive program at one time and is now attractive again due to with Coach Prime. So now Coach Prime can go tell Ohio kids and Florida kids that their parents and extended family will be able to see them in their state at least twice during their career. Kids will hear about Colorado from time to time because they will play inside the state as they grow up. So who cares about Cincy and UCF and their ability to recruit since if Colorado gets as good as they use to be eyes will be on them as they come into the state just like they are an Miami or other such programs as they go pound an OOC opponent.
