The problem with Texas' independence will be putting together a strong 12 game schedule to appease ESPN. ATM is butthurt but the older SWC folks will demand the series continue. The 40 and under crowd might be fine with parting ways. I can assume OU would stay connected in the RRS. Baylor...

17-18 year old kids can be pretty impressionable and agreeing to commit to Texas so they can have their high school games televised is a major incentive. Big headed teenagers aren't against feeding their ego. Not all kids are this way, but some kids are going to eat it up. You think some kid...

I would imagine with the new videoboard those seats are pretty good now.

File under "should have done this 2 years ago". Reminds me of Jeff Garcia when the Buccaneers finally signed him but he was about 90 years old by then.

Damn! I was looking forward to seeing what this guy could do with a lot of returning experience surrounding him. WTF?

I think it takes a few factors to ALL roll out at the same time for things to fall off. From what I seem to remember about Michigan when Carr stepped down, the program had the typical coaching change attrition(especially with a drastic offensive style change), but I also think they had some...

I'm pretty interested to see what Sherff's (sp?) role ends up being this season. Curious if a young player like that can crack the line-up.

Perhaps Dirk should have spent more of his playoff career "sick". Mavs have done pretty well the last 2 games. If Dallas could have played some defense last night they might have curb stomped the heat really sending a message as they headed back to Miami.

Pryor may create implications even beyond the 2011 season. Considering Pryor was deemed the next Vince Young upon his arrival to OSU, they really haven't landed a top notch QB recruit during his tenure according to a buddy of mine in the media out there. Basically any top recruit out there...

About a post commenting on Jantz and his inability to beat out Tiller this spring...I think Rhoads is playing it close to the vest because there might be some fear of Tiller transferring and leaving the program 1 injury away from some real serious QB questions showing up. Also keep in mind that...

Awesome articulate rebuttal. Hope I never have to face off with this guy in a debate.

Clearing up some inaccuracies here in this thread. The Iowa game will not be offered as part of the 3 game mini-pack for $99 this year. That is reserved for 3 conference opponents this fall. Everyone that wants a single game ticket that day(cyclone or hawkeye) will be paying $90, unless you...

Nebraska's scheme has been basically a 4-2-5 since Pelini has arrived at NU to account for 4 and even 5 WR looks of the Big 12. The transition to the Big 10 means that very likely NU has a 3rd LB in the game on 90% of the snaps which would make a difference for the run defense instead of...

I fully expect the Hawks to challenge the middle of the pack. The big thing will be who they get the wins against. Not necessarily needing the big signature upset type wins(purdue), but some consistency against the middle will be vital.

Pelini probably didn't recruit many if any of those guys, but his staff did develop them the last 4 years. Safe to say hes got the program headed back to where the fan base wants it to be.

Not only does the SEC have the best defensive lines in the nation, but they also have a few standout RBs that average 5 YPC in conference play each year. hmmmm......

It's all cyclical. Didn't the Big 12 account for something like 3 of the 1st 5, and 5 of the 1st 10 picks last year? F the SEC and all it overblown media whorrage.

That's a disappointment for the university. Does the rookie pay scale take affect this year? If so, he might not be losing as much as some here are carrying on about. Bad judgement all around. If he's considered a legit 2nd/3rd rounder...he's already been raked across the coals in terms of...

Solid idea. Say you don't follow the Big 10 much, but your option is to watch the last quarter of a close game in the Big 10, or the 1st qtr of the afternoon SEC/PAC-12/Big 12 game...its just like the NCA tournament overlapping their games so everyone could watch crunch time. Ive been...

In Chizik's last year(08) and Rhoads 1st year they both had a good deal of McCarney's upperclassmen on the roster. Not only did Rhoads win more games against virtually the same schedule(OOC opponents were comparable), he did so while ISU allowed nearly 13 less points per game in 08. 13 is a...
