There was an interesting discussion on today's Andy Staples podcast, with Cole Cubelic who recently had Trent Dilfer on his radio show in Birmingham. Evidently Difler said that, from conversations he has had with people who know such things, there are high-level discussions going on currently...

Bit starts at 40:32. This is their "state of the marriage" episode, basically making a bunch of (obvious but amusing) romantic relationship metaphors for reviewing where head coaches are with their program/fanbase. Dan's summary of TCU and Sonny Dykes after year two is hilarious and spot on.

Here it is: 2024 TCU Football Schedule Aug. 30 – at Stanford Sept. 7 – LIU Sept. 14 – UCF* Sept. 21 – at SMU Sept. 28 – at Kansas*^ Oct. 4 or 5 – Houston* Oct. 19 – at Utah* Oct. 26 – Texas Tech* Nov. 2 – at Baylor* Nov. 9 – Oklahoma State* Nov. 23 – Arizona* Nov. 30 – at Cincinnati*...

Here are the highlights of their trip to Norman: Ponies made OU work for it. Seems like Stone was throwing off his back foot a lot under pressure, but how good do we feel about TCU's chances to get a consistent pass rush? When he has time, he throws a nice ball. There some good catches in...

From The Athletic's Nicole Auerbach: https://theathletic.com/4705032/2023/07/20/federal-nil-laws-college-athletics-corporation/ Bi-partisan discussion taking place in Congress, apparently. It sounds pretty substantial.

Lolz at the traitors. https://www.dallasnews.com/sports/oklahoma-sooners/2023/02/03/texas-and-oklahoma-wont-join-sec-until-2025-report-says/ Honestly I'd rather have the saga over with and see them go, but I'm also happy to keep beating Texas, so whatever.

I thought this maybe deserved its own thread. Anyone see anything noteworthy? I thought it was interesting that BYU is the newcomer that got the coveted prize of playing both OU and Texas. I wonder if that had something to do with TV people calculating that their fanbase is large enough that...

Damonic Williams named on DL: https://247sports.com/Article/College-football-best-true-freshmen-2022-EJ-Warner-Quinshon-Judkins-Harold-Perkins-Malaki-Starks-199838445/

Beat Oklahoma and Texas in the same year for the first time in 27 attempts. (TCU has done it twice in 11, which includes a stretch of years bad enough to get a man with a statue outside the stadium fired.) Anyway, Go Big 12 and screw the traitors.

I didn't see this posted as a thread. Maybe it's embedded in some other, but I thought it merits its own if just to say how great this is for the conference: https://www.heartlandcollegesports.com/2022/11/22/lance-leipold-kansas-agree-to-contract-extension-through-2029/ I'm very thankful for...

... this century with a redheaded senior starting at quarterback. [I'm counting the Colorado win for Max.] There's no way this is a coincidence. Time to adjust our long-term strategy at QB accordingly.

[Updated] I've seen the following: --Penn State vs. Ohio State is Fox's noon kick --Michigan vs. MSU is Fox's night game --World Series game 2 is Sat. 29th on Fox, between the two games listed above --Iowa State-Oklahoma is noon on FS1 --TCU-WVU is on six-day hold, kick time TBA --Notre Dame @...

Max's interview starts around the 48 min mark or so.

Very interesting piece here about the 'racism' story at BYU and how it all ended, mostly from the angle of how good journalists should investigate, report, and comment on such instances. https://www.commonsense.news/p/how-the-media-fell-for-a-racism-sham Short version... a...

Seems like an interesting movie.

Interesting piece on the future of college football. It's only one AD's quotes, and the source is anonymous. But anyone who is paying attention must see that some version of this is where it's all heading. Posted for your consideration and discussion, in case y'all want to talk about anything...

How would divide the new Big 12? I know there's no great urgency to discuss this, but hey, this is a sports message board. It's all a waste of time. I like the 'zipper' idea with six pairs, but I'd probably prefer a more easily memorable geographic structure. I'm guessing north-south won't...

The Big 12 is seriously discussing BYU, sources say, and the TV numbers are in the Cougars’ favor https://theathletic.com/2793207/2021/08/27/the-big-12-is-seriously-discussing-byu-sources-say-and-the-tv-numbers-are-in-the-cougars-favor/?source=user_shared_article
