Judgy Fucker posted:And as far as the ??? rival for OU, it should be Arkansas: not much history but not none (11 total meetings, I think), and Fayetteville and Norman are closer to one another than either is to any other SEC town. But Texas and A&M both also want Arkansas, they both have a lot more history and there's no way they'd give Arkansas OU, Texas, and A&M as their three rivals. Ahem Good Sir, Arkansas has another rival, with a big old gaudy trophy at stake every year.  No one from either school gives a single poo poo about this or the 'rivalry'

Grittybeard posted:Ahem Good Sir, Arkansas has another rival, with a big old gaudy trophy at stake every year. So I actually looked it up: OU and Arkansas have 15 meetings all-time. They were in the same conference for five years, the SWC from 1915-1919 and played annually during that time. Mizzou and Arkansas have been in the SEC together for 11 years, and have played annually for the last 9. Want to guess how many all-time meetings they have? 14

Next you're going to tell me the Northwestern/Illinois Hat is a Cook County outline or something. It all makes sense now!

Can’t wait for the ND/A&M game. Two delusional fan powerhouses ready to square off. The winner of that game gets in the top 5 and thinks they have a shot in the playoffs before getting blown out by 30 the following week.

LLCoolJD posted:The combination of conference re-alignment and rule changes (shorter games, unfun OT rules, etc.) is a bit of a downer. An even bigger downer? The past 13 seasons of Florida Gators football. I'm sorry but the games being shorter isn't going to be a problem. And the rules they modified will barely put a dent in it. The average game takes 3 hours and 22 minutes to finish. I am guessing the new rule will maybe shave off 5-7 minutes max. Theres just so many baked in time stoppages. And halftimes are 20 minutes. I'm really not worried about the game being a tiny bit shorter.

I'm really not worried about the game being a tiny bit shorter. Like others have noted I'd rather it be five minutes at the end of the game rather than two for first down stopping the clock. But yeah for the majority of the game I don't care on that one. Just occurred to me this could also lead to some incredible Army or Navy drives that take up a quarter and a half, which would be fun.

Sounds like SDSU has asked for a month extension to the deadline to pull out of the MWC as they wait on a PAC 12 (probably) invite. I’m sure the MWC will be falling all over themselves to help out.

I don’t really know any Aggies who I’d characterize as overly optimistic on a season to season or week to week basis. If Aggies are delusional, it’s in their conception of the program’s overall ceiling and floor, rather than being Charlie Brownian “surely this is the year” types. To be an Aggie fan (or a fan of about 20 other programs) is to perpetually believe we’re just one good hire away from championship contention. The current coach is never getting us there, but get a real ball coach in there and wow, that could really be something. General Dog fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Jun 16, 2023 |

I mean A&M can provably pull in the kind of talent needed to win a title and the coaching was definitely an issue last year. I don't think imagining the ceiling as championship contention (which I would argue is "makes the playoffs") is at all unreasonable especially when it goes to 12.

I sure hope SDSU actually has a verbal invitation somewhere. Potentially blowing up your own conference with no sure home is certainly a dangerous game to play.

I don't think this is accurate. If we shorten games a bit then the next game is able to start on time. Basically the broadcast windows will be actual reality, no "this game is starting in espn Taiwan". The amount of ads is unchanged.

There is no incentive for the broadcasters to change the broadcast window ten or twenty minutes shorter when you can fill that with more ad breaks and live reads

Soylent Pudding posted:The part that bothers me isn't the game itself getting shorter but that we're getting rid of game time to make room for more ads in the broadcast. The amount of ads are baked in. I work in live sports broadcasting. There are x number of ads breaks allotted per quarter. If a game is really rolling in say, the 1st quarter and the don't get the ones they need in they can make up for it in the next quarter. If there's a serious injury that causes a stoppage they can burn more and get ahead of ad breaks going forward as well. They aren't shortening the games by 12 minutes of real time minutes so they can sneak in more ads. If they wanted to cram in more live ad reads, more on field ads, and more commercials they could do it whether games got shorter or longer regardless. To me the craziest thing is broadcasters like ESPN and FOX still insist on their scheduling to lie to themselves and not give 3 and a half hour game windows. You'll look at their schedule for a random saturday and it'll say stuff like Texas @ Baylor starts at 12pm PT and then starting up after that is TCU @ K-State at 3pm PT. There is no way in hell that game is finishing in a 3 hour window. Sorry.

Well for one thing the rule changes are coming from the NCAA, which doesn't really get any cut of the TV money regardless. It's not like ESPN is picking up the phone to the rules committee and saying "hey, can you break off a bit more ad time for daddy?"

You don’t think broadcasters have the ears of the NCAA? Maybe I am cynical, but that’s what happens when I’ve broiled in the southern sun while the game is paused for goddamned commercial breaks.

I'm interested to see if the coaches hate it and it goes away, like that year where the clock started before first downs it was impossible to do the classic defensive "three timeouts and I get the ball back."
