Drop off line at the elementary. Laughed at the sticker before I saw the license plate, then felt a bit sad for them.

Where you live? And they thought that sticker was for a sienna, hah.

I'm worried the bar might be closed before this game is over. This would be a problem if they were playing the Cyclones.

It was a excellent game to watch. Can’t remember the last time I stayed up that late to watch a whole game. Prime time is good for the future Big XII

I agree but I'm nervous that A & M will back a dump truck full of money in front of Prime's house if they have another down year. Eventually, somebody in Texas is going to want him.

Prime a good fit for those weirdos?

I'm not sure anybody's a good fit for those weirdos.

This is a good example of 1 - Why NIL isn't going anywhere, boosters will spend money on anything out of pride, ego, etc and no concern on return, and 2 - How far down we are on the pecking order of "giving" fanbases.

SMU has a ton of big donors. They will pay to move up the ladder.

Yes, this is a pretty harsh reality.

I’ve said this before, this is an investment so they get a seat at the big boy table in college football.

Hard to imagine being in a place in life where you don't lose any sleep over a couple hundred million dollars...

I will never be there. But it sounds fun.

I've been cheering for our new Pac additions but can't do Utah. They are still bashing the Big 12 from cherry picking attendance, to games on ESPN+, to the fact this year is terrible for the Big 12 (which is true), that the Pac is on the upslope and won't be part of it, to blaming Colorado and Coach Prime for not sticking it out. Hope they lose every game even if it hurts future Big 12 perception.

What’s funny is Utah fans don’t seem to realize USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington are or were eventually going to be gone. So the PAC-12 they knew and loved wasn’t going to be there anyway had the rest stuck together. We all knew it was a matter of time before Oregon and Washington left for the Big Ten.

So a league of the following is no different than the Big 12:

Stanford
Arizona State
Arizona
Utah
Oregon State
Washington State
Colorado (assuming they stuck it out)
Cal

And Utah has the ability to be running the Big 12 too, so not sure what their issue is.

Now here’s an outside the box idea.

Promotion/relegation in college football? Game-changing idea could help save Pac-12

What if the Pac-12 and Mountain West changed the way college conferences operate by borrowing an idea from European soccer leagues?

Seriously doubt it’ll work since no school will risk relegation and be happy with less money exposure with in a conference.

Would be very bad news for Iowa State if that ever came to the big 12

FFS, this is never going to happen.

Has a friend in WA tell us rumor there has WSU going to B12. Too good of friend to respond negatively. They and OSU would be good for future schedule IMO.
