We'd need a stronger PAC with a top tier USC and probably the B12 to join us. The former doesn't look like it's going to happen and the latter would be sabotaged by that conference's in-house espn bitch.

I wonder if the PAC-12 would revisit trying to get 2 to 4 of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Houston, and Kansas. I don't think they'd try to get Texas at this point, and BYU isn't a cultural fit.

How far we have come.....this from 2006 and talks about the first year of replay in the SEC. About half the games had a stoppage for at least one review and a very low percentage were overturned....but yet during the game on Saturday four plays were reviewed and four were overturned. What has changed in a dozen plus years?

Of the 77 games involving an SEC game, 40 had at least one stoppage for review. (Keep in mind all plays are reviewed but only those that can't be decided in 10-12 seconds are stopped for review). Of the 66 plays stopped for review, 17 were overturned. In Goode's crew, only one play was reversed in 12 games.
Thus, of more than 11,500 plays involving SEC teams, only 17 calls were altered.

Refresh my memory. For the listening audience, how many of those 4 reversals went against OSU?

3, they correctly switched Wilson's catch inside the 10-yard line in the first quarter, when his hand was the first thing to hit the ground. The problem with that one was they took way too long to initiate it, killing momentum and letting Venables see the next play that was called, Dobbins running left. The second one correctly took away the TD when Dobbins lost the ball as he landed in the end zone. The last two I think everybody remembers.

Well, and this is probably not the right thread, I hope Urban makes it his new mission to turn Big Noon Kickoff into the premier college football show. Having Gus as the number 1 play caller, and Klatt as his color man (I know, Klatt is a shill, but he's our shill, and he's good at it) also helps. It's as simple as that.. put out a better product and the people will come.

I don't know if it's the right thread, but it's a hell of an idea. ESPiN can't be too happy about Fox being in Col's and Ann Arbor in back to back weeks. Serves them right, Hope Urban becomes the Johnny Carson of sportscasters. He's almost there now. O-H, Coach! :urban2: :dougie:

Respect for Gene for saying what we're all thinking. I've been critical of him in the past for toeing lines... and i had assumed he would bite his tongue again.
Happy to see somebody raising the banners.
Need next Commissioner to get on board.

Many times I've said that Delaney got played when the playoff was put together, but in hindsight, I take that back. He got everything he wanted: protection of the Rose Bowl and continued PAC/B1G ties to it and to a lesser extent protection of the bowl system overall. And in the service of those goals, he was ready and willing to throw the Big Ten schools under the bus as well as take any potential economic impact for the Great Lakes from hosting playoff games off the table. Can't wait until he's gone.

He threw tOSU under the bus we are the only Big 10 team capable of scoring in the CFP, much less winning.

Man, we are losing are minds a little here.

Ohio State is the biggest brand in college sports. Their ratings do numbers. LSU/OSU would have been the most watched game in CFP history.

Bucks will be set up to be back in the thing over the next 3-5 years. Have to play well to beat 2 good teams, no matter what. Maybe they do one year. Definitely aren’t sitting it out.

Especially because the numbers were WAY down last year. Not to mention the city of NOLA got completely screwed with the tourist $$. Oh well.
