    Utah slowly slipping away

    Penn St fans were pretty bad during their scandal. They still lionized Joe Paterno and defended him hard during the various accusations.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    While that may be true for Michigan, however money talks and we’ve seen this played out before. Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Oregon, etc, each gave up easier paths to the playoffs for more money. (Granted, Texas was a historic underachiever most years in the Big 12.)

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    It's already happened to the Big 12 and the PAC-12. The TV stations negotiated the cream of the crop to go to the Big 12 and SEC, which at the time nearly cratered the Big 12 and now gutted the PAC-12. Heck, ESPN tried to kill off the Big 12 by moving brands out of there and shift the others...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    If the tv stations tell the cream of the crop that they'll pay more per school if the top halves of the SEC and Big 10 break away into their own conference, I guarantee it would be given strong consideration by those blue bloods. Especially if those who created the unequal revenue sharing in...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Would I be a terrible person looking forward to the schadenfreude when eventually the P2 leaves behind the marginal and bottom Big 10 and SEC schools to form their own super league?

    Surprise! "Most Famous/Greatest Athlete from Iowa" is likely an unknown.

    Purdy and Halliburton aren't from the state of Iowa.

    Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

    I think you're overestimating the damage and you're moving goalposts about damage vs success. For example, Solo: A Star Wars Story was a good film, received decent reviews, yet was considered a flop. Was it bad or damaging? Hardly. It didn't do well due to oversaturation (coming out during...

    Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

    My main issue isn't the number of episodes, it's when the episodes are 30-40 minutes long each and not near sixty minutes. The episodes would feel less rushed if they gave each of them more time. Most sci-fi and dramas go 45-60 minutes long each episode.

    Surprise! "Most Famous/Greatest Athlete from Iowa" is likely an unknown.

    From reading the title before seeing the list, I thought those three would be top three.

    Yes and all three are the opposite of "damaging" as your earlier post stated. For Star Wars Disney+, I consider The Acolyte, Obi-Wan, and Book of Boba Fett to be in the damaging tier, however they weren't dogsh!t like Disney's sequel series and The Resistance cartoon. For Marvel, I'd put She...

    D+ has been hit and miss with both brands. The Mandalorian, Andor, Clone Wars, Bad Batch have been excellent, just like Loki, Wandavision, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, and X-Men 97 for Marvel.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Fans want to be in the SEC or Big 10 since they don't want to be left behind like OreSt and Wazzou.

    Funny how clueless Ben was talking up Liz being tough to beat in the final three and Liz’s delusions of grandeur of being a threat. The jury looks when people stated those were hilarious.

    Six unused idols, four in a row. I get a few of them were blindsides, however the last two had people gunning for them/voting for them nearly every tribal. They, like most of the cast, were too busy looking down to final tribal and resume building/saving idol for final five rather than being...

    This board goes crazy every year, especially in the off-season, about any type of rumor or realignment news/speculation based on a few years were ISU was almost f-ed over like OSU and WSU.

    I get the other previous idols going home in eliminated pockets as they were blindsides, however Venus was a major idiot being on/near the bottom most episodes and should have known she was a target, however she was looking ahead to next week rather than the present. Really, the last three idol...

    On reddit they also said only one advantage and no idols were played this season as well.
