  1. It is not that they have forgotten, it is that the can't do math.
  2. May says it all, without a doubt wild speculation
  3. Talking about crying, USC actually is a blue blood but you sound like an aggy in other threads.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

The above run is why us olds remember Colorado as a really good program instead of the garbage they are today.
  6. 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?
  7. @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.
  8. Oh no is this going to become the official video of realignment.
  9. Pack 12 was dead after USC and UCLA left as was the BIG12 after Texas and OU left. The good news for the BIG 12 is that the ACC is still full of attractive members so it will be raided by the BIG 10 and SEC. Leaving the BIG 12 to choose who they want if they kill the PAC 12 for good. Yet I see the BIG 12 dissolving anyway and the most attractive remaining members of the PAC12, BIG 12 and ACC merging.
  10. As far as I am concerned Clemson and above are Blue Bloods to me because of where they have stood at times or some of the very dominant runs they have had over my lifetime. Even when Clemson was bad they kept coming up as a program that could be football royalty. Unlike A&M where only they say it in their own bubble. Just one more figure through the end of the 2019 season.
  11. Oh Mandel's day is not going well.

  13. I predict you're going to lose this one @GreenspointTexas and you are not going to understand why.
  14. The program had a good run from 1989 to 1996 and then Rick really screwed it up. Gary Barnett did OK trying to recover but thank god the group that wanted him lost out to the group that wanted Mack. Then they hired Dan Hawkins and he was lousy and probably looked good at Boise because he had Chris Peterson. After that they did not recover. So I hope the move is good for them because watching that program during their run was exciting.
  15. You know this lack of 5star DTs and Bo Davis that can't get them.
  16. Aggy has them in the closet you stupid sip
  17. Welcoming me to the 40 young man.
  18. I need that paper shredder for junk mail.
  19. Pubes says I have seen everything except championships.
  20. Says it was mutual agreement. Kirby Smokey
