  1. Still blows my mind how BSU & SDSU came racing in like a couple of rabid dogs. This league clearly has no strategy. They will talk about geography ultimately whining while actively trying to add Memphis to the conference.
  2. You bet, coming back to play Texas State instead of Duke.
  3. Just completed my first season with my OBD dynasty in the NCAA 26 game. Unfolded in ways I wouldn’t have imagined, but could certainly happen. Went 11-0, but lost in Seattle in OT, then lost the rematch to PSU in the B1G title game, ending up 11-2. Still got an 11 seed and won a playoff games at Baylor before winning the rubber match against PSU 😝 Sadly lost a squeaker in the semis and Miami won it all 🤢 🤮
  4. I’d say no. That game is late enough in the year that USC will either be riding high or about to dump their coach. If they’re 9-1 they’ll be in the top-10 and have our attention, if they’re 6-4 they’ll be discussing hiring Nick Saban and in the tank.
  5. IMO we’re elite whether we like it or not, but no title is an albatross. Minnesota has 6 titles in football, Harvard has 8, etc. Nobody is confusing them with anything good. I’ll take it a step farther, nobody (outside fans of the team) is overly impressed with teams that were voted in as a champion…that impresses people as much as when we tell them we have a hoops title from 1939. An anecdote from ancient history. Take that UW! That time of year to post a pic of the school with the most titles (18) in college football history!
  6. First outright title since 1964, they’re such big boys!
  7. No not hoops. Mediation for exit/poaching fees just failed yesterday afternoon. Some of their diehards are taking this as a power play, but I don’t think this is remotely a positive and could very much be an increased threat to the conference's viability.
  8. After reading this thread I expect us to go 7-5 at best, god OBD are so bad! 😜
  9. Let’s go ahead and at least get him north of 1000 career passing yards before proclaiming him generational. He’s not even top-100 yet.
  10. Fascinating to see some HS 4 and even 5 stars not even starting elsewhere.
  11. During our downtime, I may have visited a Beavis site or two. There are still large segments of people, in their echo chamber at least, that believe the new PAC could end up with not one but TWO guaranteed playoff spots. Is this the bill of goods that BSU and SDSU bought into? Really felt like those two fumbled all over themselves to join like it was an invite in the year 2000. Given the track record, I’m guessing the new PAC will end up suing somebody when they realize they don’t have any guaranteed playoff spots.
  12. Interesting article. “Fatal flaw” to me indicates some kind of obscure detail that might not be obvious, such as, the new QB is left handed and the entire team is oriented to having a right handed QB. Being all new or untested up front on both sides of the ball should be a giant red flashing siren. tOSU won’t “lose in the semis” because of the lines not being up to snuff IMO. If the lines aren’t up to a very high standard and they fail to reload, they’re probably going 9-3 and may not make the playoff at all. (Yeah right, lol)
  13. So the theory here is that a G6 with some 9-3 teams on the fringe of the top-25 is a shoe-in to place a team in the playoff? Interesting theory.
  14. Happy birthday! My pops flew P3-C Orions so I’ve always had a soft spot for flying hardware.
