  1. Wow. God is now doing a recount of voting machines. Who would have guessed he'd have the time, given all the high school players who've been blessed with offers this month.
  2. I like the Beavs chances. A lot. Vegas, not the southeast. Desire vs boredom. Better coaching. Would not be surprised to see more than a TD difference.
  3. Being "good to go for the bowl game" these days means two things; (1) to be healthy enough to play, and (2) to be willing to risk your ass-ets for your trammates, coaches, and school.
  4. https://247sports.com/Article/Deion-Sanders-Colorado-the-team-to-beat-for-USF-transfer-WR-Jimmy-Horn-Jr-199659406/
  5. He's bringing a lot more than talent. NIL money is exploding, with a $10 million contribution just for this year that came in last night from George Solich.
  6. Three straight. Tucker, Dorrell, and Sanders. And one before that it was Embree, so four out the last five. Nobody has done that in P5.
  7. Prime is all good news for the Pac-10 minus 2. He adds juice, and national interest, and TV ratings, and blue chip recruits. Watch. Nine other schols will be benefiting from having energy rather than a dumpster fire in Boulder.
  8. Actually, not. Sanders' whole personality thrives on building something that's broken. You can't get more broken than Jackson State was, or that Colorado now is. If he took some job like FSU he wouldn't be a miricle worker to bring them to the top. But Boulder? Now that's a challenge. It'll be fun to watch (that is, for anybody still interested in the Pac-10.)
  9. If this were to really happen (eyeballs), it would give Kliavkoff a little extra bargaining power on conference future media contracts.
  10. We're stymied for the moment from pulling things together by a number of things, including the confusion caused by the Regents vote on UCLA; the continued comments by Kevin Warren that there might be more B1G expansion (e.g., the two NW flagships); and the likely demands from Amazon Prime for a large chunk of tier one inventory. Keep in mind, though, that taking our time might be advantageous, not a sign of weakness. As for Gonzaga, reportedly they've had talks with the Pac-12 and Big East as well as the Big-12, so that's not necessarily a minus either. The Zags look more desireable with a UCLA departure, giving the Pac some hoops juice (and media interest) to make up for the loss.
  11. He's totally confused. He came up with Gonzaga College High School in Washington DC. "Hey, honey, you won't believe this but the Big 12 is adding an east coast school!"
  12. If the Pac offered, the Zags would stay west.
  13. Interesting, in that there deal appears to be done. This riases the question of further western expansion, back to the Boise St/San Diego St options.
  14. The African American population still reflects the stained past of where the slave trade brought them, with heavy concentrations in the south. The Great Migration (1910 to 1970) saw many Afreican Americans move to northern industrial cities (e.g., Chicago, Detroit, NYC). States like Oregon, Vermont, Colorado, Nebraska, and Utah were not key destinations for those seeking industrial jobs. Today's map still reflects the brutality of the original forced migration from Africa.
  15. Wouldn't it be odd if CU, with $4+ million to offer, ended up choosing between Sitake and Mendenhall.
  16. I respectfully disagree in what a win would do. Winning at the home of one of the SEC's blue-bloods, even if they are a bit down, along with the Pac-12's diminished reputation, would turn heads and solidify a high national ranking for the Utes.
  17. Assuming Notre Dame loses in Week One to Ohio State, while A&M feasts on Sam Houston and Clemson also does so with Georgia Tech, the pivotal game will be the Utes at the Gators. A Utah win will very likely place them up to #4 nationally.
  18. Yes, what's been suggested is that the smaller payout would stay for the length of the contract. Inside the B1G there's some pushback on this, with the Marylands and Purdues worried that a pattern of uneven payouts might be used to burn them sometime in the future.
  19. Here are a few examples of current enrollment by gender: University of Washington: 21,464 male and 26,685 female University of Arizona: 20,578 male and 25,023 female University of Colorado: 20,469 male and 16,968 female University of Utah: 17,073 male and 16,008 female University of Oregon: 9,782 male and 11,970 female
  20. The "sorry" may be the where Udub and the Ducks are when they're sitting in the Pac-6.
  21. It's listed as 35,000 (expandable up to 55,000); perhaps they should expand it before applying for Pac-membership.
  22. They say "Y'all" in San Diego? That could seal the deal on barring them from consideration.
