[quote]Will Tennessee fans throwing mustard and golf balls be included? If so I must buy this game. Florida players throwing shoes will probably be added in future[/quote] Cheat codes with stuff like this would be awesome but the schools licensing their names to EA would never allow it. Same reas...
If I’m going to spend all the money, time, and aggravation for transportation, hotel, and parking just to see floats and decorations, I’d rather have a big name opponent on homecoming as well instead of a rent a win. ...
In all fairness to Auburn, homecoming doesn’t really matter as much as it used to....
No idea who your source is but I am all about Clemson, FSU, and UNC to the SEC. I get the argument that we already have the SC and FL markets, but these are premier schools that add value, and additionally keep the B10 from establishing any meaningful territory in the South. We have to remember ...
[quote]bama board[/quote] [quote]aTm[/quote] Like I said, just making the game is hard....
To contrast that, playoff era UGA has been incredibly unfortunate in the game, especially to Alabama, going 2-4, with the 4 losses as the #4, 4, 1, and 1 teams. Another pre-playoff loss in 2012 as the #3 team kept them out of the national title game. ...
Thats an unreal stat. The 08 loss was to an incredible Florida team with his first full recruiting class all true freshmen. It’s hard enough just to make it to Atlanta in the SEC but to then be that dominant in the game…. Imagine going 12-0 in a season with 3 mid major rent a wins and 9 games aga...
And yet the Big Ten gets paid 1) more money, 2) on far better networks, and 3) with a contract they can renegotiate several years before ours expires. It’s absurd how the SEC keeps getting stuck in below market tv deals while putting out the best product and ratings. We add two of the top 6 o...
Unpopular opinion: Texas/OU and Texas/aTm will be the 2nd and 3rd best rivalry games in the SEC....
[quote]They only averaged 20K fans last year anyways.[/quote] Completely absurd that in a rapidly changing collegiate environment we continue to allow decisions from 100 years ago to dictate the distribution of 75 + million a year, with current value playing no role. Northwestern and Vandy wouldn...
[quote]I think this is exactly backwards. If scholarship limitations are gone, Alabama will likely give more football scholarships and no scholarships in baseball; they will have to maintain compliance with Title IX in any case. That's what I would support.[/quote] There will still be roster caps...
Mullen is the kind of coach you keep if you are content being a consistent 8-10 win program. Florida is better than that and isn’t irreversibly flawed. ...
[quote]I believe title 9 will still apply though.[/quote] It definitely will. Which is why this doesn’t automatically mean every school is going to fully fund scholarships for every sport up to the roster caps. Thamel specifically named Mississippi State as an example of a school who cares a lot...
[quote]Scholarship limitations are due to a federal law, not some arbitrary NCAA bylaw. Why would anyone listen to anything Pat McAfee has to say about anything, especially his layperson legal opinion of a lawsuit[/quote] Everything in your post is incorrect. Title IX requires an equitable number...
The existing Pac schools regularly playing Texas and OU would have boosted fan interest across the board. What I find interesting about the collapse of the Pac is that the conference had such poor fan interest and revenue that it led to collapse, even with the geographic defensive advantage it h...
You guys expect way too much perfection out of a part time, 30-40k a year profession, particularly in non or low revenue sports. These refs/umps have to make split second, real time decisions, live, on national television, with thousands of screaming fans and two coaches chomping at the bit to screa...
[quote]Hell, Alabama’s legislators won’t even let Alabamians vote for a damn lottery. [/quote] People assume it is because Alabama is too conservative but that has zero to do with it. The real reason is the state legislature is bought by Indian, “bingo”, and Mississippi gaming interests who don...
In a discussion with Pat Mcafee he says that because the NCAA lawsuit is based on anti-trust violations, scholarship limitations will basically be gone. The NCAA can set roster caps to preserve fair play but they can’t limit the amount of scholarships a school wants to give. This wont affect footbal...
Baseball “fights” are about as fake and dumb as professional wrestling. It’s not even a contact sport....
[quote]It’s crazy to me that the entire state of Florida could be dormant as a football power for decades…. Then have the the Top 3 programs for a a quarter century, and then basically fall back down to mediocrity (with the exception of a few seasons for FSU).[/quote] Miami, FSU, and Florida esse...
