  1. When football players have more college stops than Madonna has husbands, you may have an issue. The Material girl has nothing on these youngsters today. Imagine getting two million dollars to sit and get a free education. Now imagine thinking that's not enough .
  2. That just chaps away at many SEC fans. It's a signal that the B1G doesn't have to bow down to kiss the ring. Pettiti isn't feeling pressure to settle because he's afraid of the ACC or Big 12 getting mad at him. He isn't afraid of losing millions, he serves the interest of the B1G. If the conference members are telling him to not back off this line, he isn't going to back off the line.
  3. I'm not sure, but Pawl feeds into the delusion because it's his core fanbase. He knows television isn't about reporting facts. It's about views. Love him or hate him, people have a feeling about him. Jo Bob and Delilah down at the Piggly Wiggly just buy into whatever they hear. I'm pretty sure they still think professional wrestling is a real sport. RIP to Hulk Hogan btw.
  4. I'm tired of the narrative that adding one extra conference game would get SEC coaches fired. What? You expect me to believe Lane Kiffin, Shane Beamer, Sam Pittman, Eli Drinkowitz, or Billy Napier would be fired because of one extra loss a year? Especially if more teams get playoff spots? That's a bull crap excuse and anybody with a brain capable of any deductive reasoning would see that. Beating LSU and Ole Miss saved Napier(that and DJ Lagway). The nerve of this guy saying Pettiti is a pariah and not good at math or common sense because he is holding Sankey accountable for an agreement they had for the B1G to go with the SEC preferred playoff format as long as the SEC goes to 9 conference games, before backing out because SEC coaches said it was impossible. It's bull, and Alabama, Miss State, Ole Miss, and most SEC teams need the money more than the bigger and more prestigious B1G institutions. "The SEC..It just means more!!" More whining and complaining? The best coaches and players on the best programs are scared of one extra game? If it was my coach saying that while making millions,I would fire him for that alone. Texas, Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M, and I think Tennessee are the only SEC institutions with the academic prestige and donor list to keep up. The SEC relies on football to pay its bills. The B1G is a much better run and well financed league. I'm kind of embarrassed how uneducated some of these guys are. The guy in the video isn't dumb, he's just brainwashed. Please hold the line. I want my fellow SEC fans to wake up from the propaganda. It will give us more great games.
  5. This is what I hear all the time guys. Just so you know what those in the SEC bubble think, what Pawl FineBoom serves everyday. Demand your leadership to stay strong. Don't give in.
  6. I dug into your mascot history and found something terrifying......
  7. Oregon is like that kid in the library that keeps getting shushed and told to be quiet, respect the rules. "There are guidelines here young man. Show respect to these hallowed halls" Oregon " WAAAZZZUUUUPPPPP"
  8. SEC apologists will look at strength of schedule and say 9 of the top 10 hardest schedules are SEC teams. Ohio State is the first B1G member at number 8. My problem with this is the numbers are skewed because if you have the 9 best rated teams than of course the SOS is going to be higher when they play each other. Many SEC programs get overrated because of the myth of the league. Truth is the those sos numbers are a joke when 3 loss teams are viewed as top 15 teams. Ole Miss, Missouri, Texas A&M, LSU, South Carolina, Tennessee,Texas, Georgia, and Alabama were top 15 most of the year. But teams lost to the likes of Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida, and Vanderbilt. Oregon went undefeated. Ohio State lost at Oregon, and in a rivalry game to Michigan. Penn State lost to Oregon and Ohio State. Indiana lost at Ohio State. If Ole Miss, South Carolina, Alabama, or LSU belonged in the playoff they wouldn't have lost three times. Each having a far worse loss than anything the four B1G members had. People in Dixieland are so used to Sankey getting his way that it's almost incomprehensible that Petiti won't just give in. There's no way the SEC will lose in this battle of the wills. There's too much money to be lost, so Petiti needs to fold completely for the good of everyone. You know why? Because all the SEC coaches told Greg that going to a nine game schedule would cost them their jobs. It's just too hard to drop SunBelt November and play an extra conference game. I mean it's just the way it is🥸 Please. I hope Petiti stands his ground, more SEC programs need the expanded revenue than the B1G. Florida has to play FSU every year while Georgia gets Georgia Tech and everybody outside South Carolina doesn't have to worry about a big time OOC rivalry game. Who does Ole Miss play? Alabama at least usually schedules one tough game in September, but nobody else does. Everybody else has their rivalries included in those 8 conference games. I'd welcome the ninth game, I mean Florida already plays Georgia, LSU, and Tennessee every year. Ditching Miami for Arkansas or Missouri wouldn't be too terrible. Stand your ground B1G. Make the SEC give up something to get the format it wants. Sooner or later the pressure will build.
  9. They tried to SMU their way in. Maybe if they forgo five years of any payout from television revenue it might work. I guess that PAC Who invite isn't as prestigious, as Memphis is willing to go paying 200 million plus to get in the "truck stop conference".
  10. Valid concerns, but Day is a great play caller and QB developer when he gets out of his own way. The 2023 Peach Bowl vs Georgia showed me that.
  11. Pardon me if I don't shed a year for their QB room filled with two five stars, and a high upside four star. There were concerns heading into 2021 surrounding CJ Stroud replacing Justin Fields. It's similar to people asking if Oregon in a slump two weeks ago because they lost a couple recruiting battles to BYU and Georgia. Hyperbolic statements like "Is Lanning losing his touch?" have about as much credibility as those old tabloid magazines in grocery store checkout lanes that said a sitting President was in love with a space alien.
  12. My question or inquiry is what are the operating costs/revenue if you just have football on the ledger. I know travel expenses are huge. But USC runs just about every Olympic sport. I read an article saying programs may end conference affiliation outside of the big three sports to cut costs. Hockey is run completely different as B1G isn't really a thing. Michigan, Minnesota, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State , and Wisconsin are in a league with Notre Dame for hockey. Florida plays in a subdivision non scholarship league.
  13. Bevo almost ran over UGA back in the 2018 Sugar Bowl. How do we know he wouldn't try it again? 😂 *This message is in no way wishing harm to that bulldog. Bull on Bulldog violence is not promoted or implied here. Reader discretion advised. We now return you to regular scheduled posting.
  14. The only demand I would have as a fan if a new stadium was ever built, would have to be a huge pool/pond for fans. You'd have to have a huge Puddles rubber duckie in the middle. Best mascot in the game imo. Speaking of. Top 5 most iconic mascots would likely be.. 1.) Puddles 2.) Brutus 3.) Sparty 4.) Albert 5.) UGA or Bevo Creepiest would have .. 1.)Stanford Tree 2.) Nebraska Smiler 3.) Purdue Big Head
  15. With more and more cold weather cities shifting to huge indoor football facilities built on a land development like Patriot Place, or the soon to be Brook Park Browns(a suburb of Cleveland) and maybe the Bears leaving Soldier Field if their owner is willing to foot the majority of the bill like Jimmy Haslam in Cleveland. Would you support Phil Knight building a castle for the Ducks? I can't see it happening at a place like Eugene, Gainesville, Athens, or most college towns. But nothing would shock me with the growing NFL Lite CFB. An indoor stadium could attract the title game or other huge events. If any school has the backer to do this, it would be Oregon with Phil Knight. Autzen is such a great environment already, so the odds are low.
