Crap missed the most obvious WVU troll, the Big 12 is in negotiations to add Marshall to the conference to increase their presence in the east.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is forming a committee to review the “future of college athletics”. https://www.texastribune.org/2021/07/26/university-texas-big-12/amp/ The state senate has written a bill trying to keep schools in Texas from changing conferences without the state legislature’s approval. It doesn’t sound like it’ll go anywhere before Texas finishes making the switch but if Patrick and the state lege gently caress this move up then SO HELP ME

I called the guy back. Told him I didn't have anything official other than what I said earlier today. I mentioned that "off the record" WVU is already in discussions to join the ACC. I didn't want to say anything too there so I stuck with that. I really wanted to throw in the Home Industry Bakery joke but I definitely would have started laughing at that one. So let's hope this guy's hot scoop gains any traction.

This bill literally can't proceed right now as it is not germane to any of Abbott's topics for the special session. The next time it could be taken up and passed (absent calling a special session for it, which he won't) is 2023.

It would be pretty funny for the Texas Legislature to find some way to sabotage it to protect the interests of one state school and two private universities in state. OU would still probably leave, and the Big XII would have no room for negotiation. It would also have the (intended) consequence of functionally picking A&M as the flagship football program for the state. Texas would be playing in a conference full of schools who hate them even more, and no longer playing any rivals in football anymore. It probably won't happen for a million different reasons, but that is a fun thought experiment.

Does Oklahoma State have much pull in their state legislature? We already know they're pissed of course, I just have no idea if they have the slightest ability to do anything about it.

tactlessbastard posted:Please stop I can only get so hard I have been fully erect since this story broke last week I have literally been calling for Texas and OU to go SEC since A&M left. I have been praying for this move to happen and telling people it will happen for almost 10 years now, including no less than 3 times in the past 4 months. People called me insane. They told me it would never happen. And now that it’s actually happening I am a whole foot off the ground and my dick has doubled in size and is hard enough to cut steel. I am basically waiting for the ink to dry and the move to be finalized before I just…… totally rub this poo poo in everyone’s faces. I mean get, just……… completely pants-on-head stupid about it. Just get absolutely shitfaced obnoxious about how I was right and they were wrong and I’mma drop my pants and rub my bare rear end and taint on some motherfuckers’ lips and ask em how my nuts taste I.

Unless you are saying Texas was right to not jump ship to the Pac-12 when that looked like a possibility. Which is good looking out if so as it turns out.

As a wvu fan that got to enjoy the slow spiral death of the big east and being one of that last at the table as all the good schools already got into big 10 and acc and we had to settle on the shithole big 12 with the closest team being 700 miles way, I very much look forward to the same loving thing happening we end up begging to join the AAC.

Penn State had scheduled Rutgers OOC for 2014 and 2015, but it never happened because Rutgers joined the conference for 2014. Penn State has WVU scheduled for 2023 and 2024. I think you see where I'm going here

LSU doesn't want to play Tulane for the same reason Alabama won't schedule South Alabama, or Troy, or UAB (Ok, lol there's way more reasons they're not gonna schedule UAB). Or why for decades Ole Miss and Mississippi State wouldn't play Southern Miss. Big state schools don't want to play smaller I-A schools from within their state, because they don't want to give them a leg up, and they're terrified of the perennial embarrassment if a ULM/Bama or App State/Michigan result happened from within the state.

I suggest trying being way better than the other team and just shrugging and going "well that'll happen when you give up ten sacks" when your 31 game winning streak ends.

They are doing well for Tulane and beat more teams with winning records than LSU did last year. LSU won't play Tulane because the worst type of mentality from modern CFB "they have nothing to gain and everything to lose by playing the game." LSU continuing to dodge Tulane, despite Tulane offering to have the game at the Superdome and giving LSU a better share of ticket sales, is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard of in college football.

Trying to take anything meaningful away from last year seems pretty silly but the only even kinda good team Tulane beat was Memphis. They went 3-5 in the American they are not good just because they barely snuck into the potato bowl, sorry.

The same Army team could not beat Tulane. When you have to ignore games for your argument to work, it isn't a good one. Tulane would crush LSU so bad rn, their fan base would finally admit Baton Rouge smells like corndogs. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Jul 28, 2021 |

MourningView posted:One of Iowa or Iowa State plays UNI pretty much every year even though they've beaten ISU multiple times and scared Iowa twice relatively recently Georgia has played Georgia Southern, UNC has played App State, so while it's not a universal dynamic it's still a common one. Auburn played UAB (in their first ever D-I game, actually) in 1996 but never since. That's it for the big two (Bama/Auburn) and the other FBS in-state schools. Ole Miss hasn't played USM since 1984. Miss State went almost as long but has recently started putting USM back on the schedule. Meanwhile, the big teams will schedule other teams around that same power level (ie, Memphis, ECU, etc) but from out of state. I'd love to see Bama forced to play UAB, but UAB athletics had exactly one prominent state legislator in their corner and he had ethics issues that hit the media shortly after becoming a pain in the rear end to the UA Board. So it ain't gonna happen.
