Big Ten Network money, I'm sure. Once the Longhorn Network precluded the possibility of a Big XII network, that was that.
I wonder how much money ESPN loses putting out Longhorn content that no one watches outside of Longhorn alums & fans
Both them and you should have joined the Pac-12. Still win, and you get an academic boost from being associated with small, private Methodist schools like USC.
Do you really want to see me in prison for killing a dozen or so Duckfans when they show up in Norman?
Why hate on the Ducks? Yeah, they're new, but they don't talk as much trash as the SEC teams seem to do.
OU got cheated by them in the early years of replay - the replay official was an alumni and former Duck FB player
I assume y'all were at home and Oregon brought Pac-10/12 refs. That's an unforgivable error on the part of the NCAA for allowing, not Oregon for taking advantage. Hoping OU puts the hurt(s) on LSU, but I'm not expecting a win.
At Oregon https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6109013 https://oklahoman.com/article/5518405/10-year-anniversary-of-the-ou-oregon-replay-debacle https://www.espn.com/college-football/news/story?id=2593564 Same
That win should have been vacated. Definitely an NCAA error, and something worth investigating. If UO tried to deceive (misled the NCAA about where the ref came from), they should have been put on probation. But, again, the NCAA should be on top of stuff like this, instead of going after the PSU program and players for shit that happened long before they arrived and didn't give Pedo State a competitive advantage.
All, the Sooners. So easy to root against. I'm still laughing from the '85 Sooner Schooner Orange Bowl crash. Justice was served, too. God's Huskies 28, the Wicked Sooner Sinners 17.
Everyone else's hate makes us stronger. Shit, I haven't paid an electrical bill since Bob Stoops arrived on campus - Aggie's constant jawing keeps the wind turbines spinning We're 12 out of 19 in the Orange Bowl - we can't win them all
Tons of fine Sooner players over the years. Just not this fraud: Hebert also recalled the time, during a game in 1988, when Heyward hit Seattle linebacker and alleged tough guy Brian Bosworth so hard he made him cry. According to Hebert, then-Saints coach Jim Mora called the same off-tackle play six straight times, with Heyward as the lead blocker. "After about the third time," Hebert said, "Bosworth was crying. Honest. Tears were rolling down his face, because he didn't want Ironhead to hit him anymore. He cried 'Uncle!' for real. Ironhead, he just laughed at him." https://www.espn.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=2461208
Good old Ironhead. Bosworth was the tool who said don't do drugs but admitted to drinking 12 cups of coffee before every game, right?
Yeah he was definitely a roid dog. Right up there with Tony Mandarich. Aikman was #1 in 1989 draft. Then Tony followed by Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas and Deion.
I don't think so? He was a decent player, just overhyped and arrived in the NFL already hurt... Mandarich, there's a different story, and he's told it himself.
Yeah he was a very good college LB but was pretty much used goods by time he got to Seattle. Maybe a top 10 draft bust but not Mandarich or Leaf level.
https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/the-2019-sec-and-nfl-football-thread.2105797/#post-38395346 lol, Misery is for Bama fans, not for me. I do wish OU would get their act together, and I would have been happy to cheer for whoever Hurts played for, as he didn't see Tua coming. IIRC, you're an LSU or Arkansas fan, right? Good luck v. Clemson either way.
Fair enough. It reads like Orgeron would pronounce it. Seems it was just a few days ago when the SEC title meant a natty regardless of who won it, but in reality, that all stopped after 2010- almost a decade ago. This is O's chance to bring it back.
As long as Joe Brady is at LSU, it will be a long time till Saban high steps into a SEC title. Think of Brady as a young Lane Kiffin without the controversy and a better brain. LSU might have rearranged the SEC West permanently now. We'll see how Ole Miss with Lane Kiffin fair.. Jimbo seems to just be collecting a pay check.. Auburn is still Auburn. I'm not buying the Bo Nix hype.
I think Saban probably has one more SEC title in him. It won't be a long time either way- he's not going to be there a long time at this point. I give him three more seasons, tops. Kiffin won't win the West, but he'll do well enough at Ole Miss to leave there for a destination program, IMO. Where he'll end up, I can't say, but he'll be gone by 2023. ALL of his issues are attitude-based, and I think he was too brash (young) to schmooze with boosters. We'll see if he's grown up. Jimbo is absolutely just collecting a check. May be the ghost of Bobby Bowden coming back to haunt him for the way Bowden got horsecollared out of Tallahassee a few years ago. I'm not sure anyone can make them a troo contenda these days. He didn't want LSU after the way they treated Miles, and nobody else seemed to want him (no openings at the time). But he's at a football school, at least. Chizik won a natty and ended up at Carolina, ffs. Auburn? They're easily the second-most successful SEC program of the last decade. B(C)S title in '10, B(C)SCG in '13, SEC titles in '10 and '13, and they are 4-6 v. Bama. That's twice as many wins as any West team and four more than any East team in the same span. ...how long a time is "permanently" to you? Alabama dominated the SEC in the 70s, Auburn and Georgia in the 80s, Florida in the '90s to late 00s, and Bama since then. I want to see y'all win the game. I watched your posts change in tone from '09 to about '13 and then Bama drove you out of the cfb forum entirely. I think that forum needs you to keep the thread going, and an LSU win would make them relevant enough for you to return there.
