    On a Scale of 1-10 What Is Your Outlook of Our Football Program Under Leach

    1. Is it not obvious to everyone else that excitement around the program is trending down? As we continue to lose fan support, Leach’s recruiting of non-QBs is going to significantly get worse. He then will quit making bowl games around the time the conference expands. We have lost a lot of...

    So who exactly would we hire next?

    I’m fine with 6-6 and 7-5 seasons if the product on the field is entertaining and we compete with our rival. These 3-7 yard passes are not fun. The lack of big plays are not entertaining. Who wants to spend their hard-earned money on NIL deals to watch this crap. We are creating a serious gap...

    Eliza Fletcher update:

    Got out early most likely due to covid concerns in 2020. All life threatening crimes should be handed life sentences. Rehabilitation obviously doesn’t work. We will probably save more money housing violent criminals for life than letting them out and policing their future crimes.

    So B1G officially wants to become the Big 21......

    If it’s mandated that UCLA has to share media revenue with Cal, it potentially hurts the whole deal. Stanford and Notre Dame have a history of playing each other so that may entice ND. Phil Knight may be dangling an unprecedented, conference-wide Nike contract to get Oregon included. There could...

    OT: VR headsets

    The new version (Quest Pro) comes out in October, so give it a few months and you can get a Quest 2 at a discount.

    B1G Commish tells HBO they want to go to 20 teams

    I read some tweets yesterday that stated the conference can pay NIL to players and bypass the rule that prevents schools from paying them. This also gets around Title IX as the schools are still providing equal opportunities. A private entity is paying NIL. The Big Ten and the SEC can pull $5...

    Should the MS legislature proactively tie State and Ole Miss together?

    The California board is considering making UCLA and Cal equally split athletic conference revenue. If that spread into the whole UC system, they are screwed.

    Should the MS legislature proactively tie State and Ole Miss together?

    Whether a conspiracy theory or not, a simple law puts it to bed. That’s all I’m saying. I’m sure Oklahoma State is wishing they would’ve been proactive and locking in the rivalry.

    Should the MS legislature proactively tie State and Ole Miss together?

    With the increased conversations of conference expansion and super conferences, should the MS legislature proactively tie State and Ole Miss together? Should a law be passed to require State and Ole Miss to be in the same conference and also require us to play each other in all sports each...

    B1G looks to be going with FOX, CBS and NBC for new deal

    I’ve seen some rumblings of this affecting College Gameday host sites. Seems far-fetched that they would quit going to Big Ten schools, but Fox’s competing show is growing in popularity.

    LOCKED - Solid piece on B Griner

    Speaking of the WNBA, when she is back in the US, they should suspend her for violating the WNBA illegal substance policy. Her lawyer stated she has had a medical marijuana card for two years, but it’s a banned substance in the WNBA regardless of medical use or state legality. If she was...

    Damnit Adidas...

    I want to Sankey negotiate a conference wide apparel contract with revenue sharing. There’s only four teams outside of the Nike/Jordan footprint so limited buyouts. Jordan’s 1 team per conference policy got smashed with the Oklahoma and UCLA moves. Would love to see the whole conference in Jordan.

    State 23rd in brand rankings in college football

    Would love to see the same poll but with 40+ year olds. We’d drop out of the top 25 due to historic biases. This newfound brand recognition with the younger generation would not be possible without Doc Foglesong. Build the statue.
