  1. Trying to imagine how bad it would feel to sponsor a coordinator job only to see something like the USC defense out there flailing about in your name. I guess it would feel fine knowing you had enough money to spend on something so weird.
  2. Why does every team play to let Kansas City win? I personally would try to play so that my team won instead. EDIT: Is this just an AFC thing? Is it a QB's that my mom likes thing? This happened over and over for Thomas Brady and the Patriots too.
  3. It's not the first time I've been wrong and it certainly won't be the last.
  4. I like the leagues within a league naming. It's dumb, but this whole enterprise is dumb and also I'm a dumb guy that likes dumb stuff.
  5. It's crazy that the Big Ten gobbles up so many postseason spots in football and basketball despite so consistently failing in both.
  6. Sorry, the point I was trying to make is that the rule has failed its purpose. It's there to make teams wanting to move up only do so because they have the resources and commitment to make it work. Schools like James Madison, Old Dominion, and even Jacksonville State looked at moving up for years before it actually happened. Sam Houston had no ambitions of moving up. They got a call from Conference USA and two weeks later made the move. Sam Houston moved up because they were worried that they would get locked out of the opportunity in the future with the NCAA raising the requirements to transition. The NCAA just this month changed the application fee from $5K to $5 million.
  7. I think it's a really good and smart rule. If you didn't have it then teams might move up divisions without thinking about it. Could you imagine if somebody like Sam Houston moved up two weeks after getting a call from a desperate CUSA when they weren't even looking to move up? That would be a really embarrassing thing to happen.
  8. I'm so tired of these media darling schools. Why can't we get somebody that doesn't ever get talked about? You know, somebody like Notre Dame.
  9. As much as people are (understandably) annoyed by the Deion hype train, his team has had the most exciting game 2 out of 3 weeks. Their line is atrocious and it's going to cause them to lose games for sure, especially in a Pac-12 that's going to be tough this year despite the state of everything off the field.
  10. This is the constant hell we've been living in for years. Between this and the obscene ad breaks, it's a sport that can only be enjoyed via constant channel flipping and/or multiple screens. Sort of like a homemade version of NFL Redzone.
  11. I believe this is the intended final product.
  12. I would guess that the Pac will continue to exist in some form. Maybe the remnants merging with the Mountain West but keeping the Pac name for the better brand recognition. I mean, the Big West, WAC, and CUSA still exist, just not in ways that people are particularly fond of anymore.
  13. It's good that they're getting some teams closer to El Paso and Las Cruces.
  14. You're not imagining it at all. Same applies for the University of Colorado (CU), University of Nebraska (NU), and University of Missouri (MU). It's a whole thing. Even fans of the schools get them wrong like the guy from that 30 for 30 that went to Naismith's grave and was talking about Kansas University even though it's the University of Kansas. I've also seen high school kids call refer to the University of Arkansas State and I just don't know what to do with that.
  15. Could be worse EDIT: For clarity, I think the new ones are solid, but the number font should be a standard block instead of the Texans thing. But nobody pays me to be the uniform nerd at Arkansas State despite my lobbying.
  16. There's gotta be research somewhere that sorts that stuff out. I mean, that's why the old Big 8 schools have backwards initials in the first place, right?
  17. If the Pac-12 fully collapsed, Cal and Stanford could find homes if they wanted. They just might not be happy with those homes. I mean, shoot your shot. Arkansas State used to be in the Big West. Twice, even. So I mean...
  18. Yeah, that time when A&M, Mizzou, Colorado, and Nebraska were all leaving felt like the whole thing was going to collapse. Even recently when Texas and Oklahoma announced they were going to the SEC it felt like the Big XII was doomed. The Pac-12 not capitalizing on those moments along with USC and UCLA leaving, and general mismanagement really handicapped them.
  19. This did famously work out for everybody involved. One of the aspects that I find interesting for the future of the Pac-12 is that they play nine conference games. Without Colorado they're currently set to have only nine teams, meaning they can only play eight conference games, which makes scheduling difficult. It's funny that the Big XII had proposed a merger of sorts with the Pac-12, with the Pac-12 turning their noses up to the idea only to get poached by the Big XII. Reminds me of CUSA mocking the Sun Belt's proposal of more geographically compact conferences only to get raided a few years later.
  20. The circus never stops. Oklahoma and Texas haven't even officially left the Big XII yet but that announcement alone had the domino effect of giving around 20 schools new conference homes.
  21. They were so close to having the Big XII name making sense again.
  22. Our AA team does bring in more people than the A's these days. Not that that's impressive.
  23. How long have teams been comparing their upcoming uniform nonsense to Oregon? Has it been forever? It may as well be.
