    CBS Sports B1G Predictions

    Most prognosticators/analysts only have a superficial knowledge of the conference as a whole, and that especially holds true specifIcally regarding the Cats. Defense should remain steady and the O should be improved, in large part by a better scheme/playcalling (putting players in a better...

    2026 World Cup - USA team thread

    Not weird at all; they've been preparing for days not expecting to face Balogun; now, they only have a day to change course (it would have been another matter if FIFA had made their decision of a "suspension" within 24th hrs of the game ending). What makes this galling is that it appears FIFA...

    Ryan Field

    A few weeks ago, Stanford Stadium hosted 150k people over 3 days for the BTS concerts. That should've brought in some decent "side-gig" revenue. BTS had to start their concerts a bit earlier than they usually do in order to adhere to the local noise ordinance.

    RIP - Anthony Head - Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    By all accounts Anthony Head was beloved by his mostly younger BtVS cast, which is uncommon. James Marsters (Spike) with a tribute... Tough period for SMG, in a relatively short amount of time, she has lost one of her closest friends, Shannen Doherty; someone who was like a younger sister...

    2025 - 2026 Premier League thread

    Never understood why clubs hire managers/coaches who run counter to the style of play they had been running. Liverpool, ManU and especially the Spurs, who have been flip-flopping from progressive, possession managers to turgid-ball time and time again. That, along with poor recruiting, is why...

    Hope against NIL insanity?

    While I'm all for guardrails, this seems too restrictive (wonder who donated $$ to these Senators).

    If a 24-team playoff had existed since 2014, NU would've made it...

    ^ There are pros and cons. Pros being that we will see more good OOC games (USC-Domers will be back on) and more meaning in games where teams are fighting for the last 7-8 spots (so more meaningful games towards the end of the season). Games like UM-dOSU have already been "devalued" by the 12-...

    If a 24-team playoff had existed since 2014, NU would've made it...

    Per thenextround... Tied with 10 other prigrams, including Wisky and Sparty (and Miami!) with 4. No Nebby... Despite this, still hear the Cats being considered a bottom rung program by many in the media.

    And doesn't seem fake like Giannis, who is much more limited as a player.

    Yogi and Todd post spring outlook...

    Sam's post spring power ranking... Think where he has NU is fair, with the outcomes in games for teams in that tier dependant on the bounce of the ball (taking health out of the equation). After thinking about it, Sam has gotten around to what many here think about Fitz/MSU.

    “At Big Ten spring meetings, coaches lobby for 24-team playoff”

    Networks, primarily FOX, are in as right now, ESPN has a stranglehold. Because there's still a bias in favor of the SEC (which the SEC honks continue to perpetuate), so depending on a committee to make selections puts the B1G at a disadvantage (tons of talk last season about how Vandy was...
