  1. I watched Western Carolina take it to NC State for a couple of quarters before running out of steam. The ACC is going to be in rough shape this season if Mario doesn’t beat the Gators tomorrow. He may be their only hope of a decent team. We all know Clemson will get steamrolled tomorrow.
  2. The same thing happened last year with Spectrum Cable refusing to broadcast ESPN. Of course, they went off the air just as the Utah/Florida game was about to start. Spectrum lost a ton of customers that weekend according to the lady who helped us cancel our cable service. We did keep their internet service. It’s fast and there aren’t many options in my neck of the woods. Also, it was ESPN who moved the goalposts and charged Spectrum huge rates to carry their channels. ESPN knew that the start of football season was the best time to Jack up their rates. The B1G is basically doing the same thing to Comcast. They’re telling the cable companies “Either pay our prices or your customers will find another way to watch our channels”.
  3. I only sit in aisle seats so that narrows it down to 4. Row 5 is out because I would probably not be good ant making eye contact with the young lady next to me and also James Franklin would be across the aisle and he annoys me. Row 3 is out because I would be between two of the most fake coaches in the country. Row 1 is out because Lincoln Riley. So, that leaves seat 2D. I could bum beers from Gundy across the aisle and then talk trash to Sark about his record vs. Oregon. Win/win.
  4. Pretty much anything Helfrich said after each loss in 2016. However, “That’s on me as the head coach” was the worst.
  5. I started using TobigoTv because it will play on any computer or smart device (TV, phone). I just pay $17/month for my subscription and they send me the login instructions. I use the IPTV Smarters Pro app to play their content. It works really good with my Spectrum cable internet. Below is a sample of some of the sports channels I get (all in 4K). I also get every NFL, MLB, NHL game along with over 200 ESPN+ channels which are great for the off chance you want to see a Big Sky or Ivy League game. Oh, and I also get all PPV fights for free.
  6. If I had Comcast this would be me on the phone canceling my subscription.
  7. I pay $14/month for IPTV. You just need an app that can support the channel list that your streaming service provides you. For example, I use Real Streams. They sent me my login information and instructions for which apps support their content. I just put it into the IPTV Smarters Pro app which is available on the Google Play Store. It’s very easy to use.
  8. I use IPTV, so I get every sports channel and every game known to the human race. I even get Beavis and Coug games if I’m down for a little nostalgia.
  9. He’s not one of the athletes, but Duck alum Mark Few is an assistant coach for USA Men’s Basketball.
  10. I don’t. That dude ditched the Ducks for Texas A&M.
  11. I expect this to happen many more times. Word on the street is Brame will flip to Tennessee as well. It’s all part of the game we call “recruiting”. Good thing DL has been very successful in the transfer portal. 4-star DL Josiah Sharma flips his commitment from Oregon Ducks DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks saw 4-star defensive lineman Josiah Sharma flip his commitment on Thursday night.
  12. I’ve only been to three of these stadiums (LSU, Autzen, App State), but I think they got most of them right. I don’t necessarily agree with the rank order, but these stadiums stand out for one reason or another whether it be noise, beauty, tradition, etc. BTW, Autzen was by far the best atmosphere. I went to LSU during the Curly Hallman era. It was loud until Danny Wuerffel and the Gators ran up 58 straight points on them. It’s still a beautiful venue with great tailgating and a tiger enclosure outside the gates. App State is absolutely beautiful with regard to its surroundings, but the crowd is pretty dull unless they’re playing Marshall or Coastal. The home side of their stadium gets shade in the afternoon which might be great in early September. However, I was there on a clear November day when it was in the 20’s. That shade ran off most of their home fans by the 2nd half as it was in the single digits on their side of the stadium. On a side note, I think that Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC should’ve been on this list. They’re not a great team, but their stadium is always packed and rowdy no matter their record. I also love Sandstorm, the white towels, their Odyssey 2001 entrance and rooster crow on 3rd downs. It’s definitely an atmosphere worth experiencing. Top 25 college football stadiums - Rose Bowl, Michigan and more - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Fourteen of ESPN's college football writers rank the 25 best stadiums in the sport. Who's No. 1, who missed the cut and what makes these stadiums so special?
  13. I have to admit that I thought the front profile pictures made them look a little Baylorish at first glance. However, Baylor has more of a forest green color and their yellow is kind of dull. In fact, their entire color scheme is kind of dull like North Dakota St.
  14. I saw this today and thought how hard it must have been to rank the top 100 pro athletes since the year 2000. After reading through the list a few things came to mind. 1. There were too many race car drivers. Sorry, but they’re not athletes. My MIL still drives fast and she’s 90. 2. There were not enough MMA fighters. In fact, the female fighters were totally left off. Amanda Nuñez and Rhonda Rousey carried many a PPV event by themselves because of their skill. 3. How in the world do you leave off Ashton Eaton? Only three people in history have been deemed “World’s Greatest Athlete” in two straight Olympic Games and he’s the only one to do it in the last 40 years. Anyway, these are my personal opinions. I would be interested in seeing all of your opinions on this list. Ranking the top 100 professional athletes since 2000 - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Who tops our list of the top athletes since 2000? We're unveiling the top 25, including our voters' pick for the No. 1 spot.
  15. Cam Newton was comparing stats from each QB’s first 4 years. Dak had slightly more impressive stats than Herbert, but he was also rewarded with a record contract at that time because the Cowboys felt he had a bright future in Dallas. Now, the Chargers feel Herbert has a bright future in LA, so they gave him a record contract. Both are good QB’s, but Herbert is younger. Dallas won’t pay Dak what Herbert got paid because he’s older and has had a serious lower leg injury that still affects his mobility. I will even go as far to say if Dak doesn’t at least make it to the NFC Championship game Jerry will let him walk and he’ll get snatched up by NYG or the Saints. I don’t have a problem with what Cam said because he favors the veteran with a few more years under him. However, he’s not an owner or a GM who has to secure his team’s future while he can.
  16. They love it when you bring that up. It’s a great way to start off a conversation with an Aggie.
  17. The PAC 12 website has removed everything but Beavis and Coug stuff. It’s somewhat pathetic and sad.
  18. I was surprised to not see these guys near the top of the list. I’m pretty sure that “annoying” is what the A stands for in Texas A&M.
  19. There are four more uniforms getting revealed. My guess is white, yellow, kelly green and forest green.
  20. I read in earlier articles about the Generation O uniforms that they purposely wanted to pay homage to past uniforms. It has something to do with the 25th anniversary of the O. Hopefully they have other designs cooked up that will include the “Belotti Bold” font.
  21. I like the combination of new and old in the shoulder design. The Jump Man color scheme is cool as well. We haven’t seen that since the UCLA game in 2018. I also took the time to pause the video and examine the intricacies of the design. These uniforms are well made as expected.
  22. The NBA is pretty lax with their traveling rules. Pritchard must’ve quit drinking because he took 12 steps.
  23. I was planning on going anyway, so this will be much better. It’s an 8 hour drive for me. The hotels in State College will be pretty spendy if this year’s UW game is any indication. They will likely be around $400-$600 per night. I will likely stay somewhere that is a couple of hours away. Maybe Bedford or Hagerstown since I’ll be driving in from the south.
  24. Nebraska and Tennessee flooded our student section the last time they visited. Both school filled a quarter to a third of Autzen’s capacity. Luckily, both games were out of hand by halftime. However, Slick Willie decided to let Nebraska back in the game. Anyway, here’s to hoping our students decrease the number of Nuts fans at Autzen.
