    TJ best coach we have ever had?

    Eustachy was very good and his teams had a similar toughness but TJ is on par with him IMO, but TJ will have more upside just because he has his personal life in check. The other thing is I'm not sure LE would have been as good at finding player long term as TJ will be. Tinsley was an awesome...

    Lipsey

    He probably is playing through an injury. It's really unfortunate because he was playing at such a high level before the shoulder injury. He willed himself to a huge game at Texas and last night but probably can't do it regularly. Fran two weekends ago said he is not practicing a lot. Its...

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    Yes, Snead had a better game and Lipsey seemed absent. Snead is a 4 year guard and Lipsey a true soph. I just don't think Lipsey is completely healthy. Fran indicated he isn't practicing much. He really has only had one real good game since coming back against Texas. I hope he can get...

    Did everyone else think ESPN+ broadcast pic quality and motion

    I think I went in through Roku last year, was using g nvidia shield pro this year. I upgraded my LG OLED but I don't think that was it.

    Did everyone else think ESPN+ broadcast pic quality and motion

    Was vastly improved over last year. I thought last year's pic quality was horrible and the motion of the game was horrible also last year. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday.

    Greetings from Utah!

    Utah is a great addition. Looking back to the expansion process I think I can appreciate Utah's loyalty to the league since joining the PAC helped continue to elevate their program. Maybe its a perspective in hindsight Big 12 fans can appreciate.

    Bars that carry ESPN+ in DSM metro

    You will spend less on ESPN+ than the markup on drinks and food going to the bar. That being said the picture quality of ESPN+ is horrible. I really hope ESPN works on upgrading these broadcasts.

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    Yes ASU is tied to the Phoenix market but they don't get the ratings Oregon does or UW with a large market. Oregon vs OSU last year got over 7M viewers and had a huge game with Auburn 2 yrs ago just under 7M and ASU can't sniff that kind of T1 or quality T2 content ratings usually. I think...

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    The SEC is interesting because every addition from the ACC outside UNC/Va or VA. Tech/NC St. if unsuccessful in getting the two flagships is nice inventory but redundant to their current market and really a defensive play against the B1G. The B1G wants the markets and NEEDS additional...

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    If it's one or the other I would take UW over OR all day. It's a bigger market and better academic institutional fit. OR better hope 4 get in.

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    I think FOX/NBC/CBS would possibly pay for a Foursome of FSU, Miami, Clemson, Ga. Tech. So ESPN wouldn't be forced to pay for those increased revenues. ESPN could probably stomach just paying for UNC & VA over that same time period to keep them in their conference. I think those ACC revenues...

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    Yes OR & UW want the B1G although some think the B1G could only take on of those two with Stanford being the other team. For OR & UW's brand going forward do you want to be in a California, scratch that Bay are market based league or a Texas based league for tv ratings? The state of Texas...

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    I don't think leagues can dissolve by vote very easily because once a team like OU or UT has a destination I have seen where they have been deemed a disinterested party and don't have a vote. This makes sense those left behind don't want schools going somewhere else determining their fate. I...

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    FOX can have OR & UW content at a smaller price in the B12 thats for sure. Also, what's better for tv ratings for networks with OR/UW content and OR/UW schools concerned about brand valuation for future realignment? A Texas based league or a California, scratch that Bay Area based college...

    ESPN, Fox Open Discussions for Next Big 12 Deal

    In this scenario think you need all of the leftover and new B12 schools protected. So in that scenario you take the 8 remaining B12, BYU & UH and combine them with 6 or 7 PAC schools(eventually at least 2 of those are going to the B1G). You can then shift over WVU, Cincy and even UCF to the...

    Big 12/ Pac 12 Merger (keep all the teams)

    They have to show a positive mood in public but I don't think it is in reality. I think the twitter posts from PAC 12/Bay writer Jon Wilner I posted earlier show that. The PAC 12 loses the LA market with USC/UCLA gone. The B12 loses the best teams from the DFW & Texas market but they still...

    Big 12/ Pac 12 Merger (keep all the teams)

    PAC 12 and Bay area beat writer Jon Wilner was campaigning for a full merger before the B12 announced they wouldn't go forward with a full merger. Now, today he tweets the B12 should go big and add 8 schools (leaving OSU & WSU behind) or stay at 12. This guy is a PAC 12 elitist and was NEVER...

    Who is best for the Big 12?

    The ONLY chance UW & OR don't go to the B1G is USC & UCLA feel it differentiates themselves by the only west coast schools being in the B1G and see that as a recruiting advantage and a way to not lose players to UW & OR but I doubt it. There new tv deal is supposed to involve FOX, CBS & NBC...

    Who is best for the Big 12?

    Do you really think the B1G invited USC & UCLA to sit on an island across the country? Of course at least two other teams are getting invited. The B1G is waiting to see if ND jumps and if it does it will give ND a huge say in who is added. That might mean the difference whether Stanford is...

    Campbell on ‘22 Spring FB

    I don't think its just an excuse. The DL coach and Uwarizike had a video before the season how going up against the offensive line made them a lot better and they both made it sound like the offensive line was beating the defensive line not the other way around. We had a solid DL. I think...
