Those uniforms look like the 2012 ones for the Wisconsin game, which were pretty ugly. I don't know why Adidas can't seem to make a good looking alternate uniform.

The department probably made the right call in breaking these out for Illinois which screams LETDOWN GAME to me, coming in between Miami and Michigan State as opposed to Miami or ... well, our home conference schedule is kind of lame.wa27 posted:Those uniforms look like the 2012 ones for the Wisconsin game, which were pretty ugly.

MindlessHavok posted:Probably won't make much of a difference but we do have a RD Junior DT coming back from injury. He was supposed to be a starter but got hurt in camp before the season started. The defense has actually been startlingly competent. They were really good on third down against Oklahoma, and if they don't turn the ball over in the red zone twice that game could have been a much closer score. Oklahoma only scored on offense once in the 2nd half (early) and you can't say it was because they took their foot off the gas. Biggest issue if the Vols oline appears to have no answer for speed coming at it from anywhere. They should still lose to Georgia, but the Vols are unlikely to be an utter doormat against a team that had defensive secondary issues like GA did against USCe.

Real Name Grover posted:I knew we were wearing alternate unis tomorrow but somehow missed/forgot about the helmet: Between the matte red and the weird red/black split, that just kind of looks cheap. Like it was supposed to have some kind of neat transition between the colors or maybe some more touches on the N but they said "Nah gently caress it, that's fine" halfway through the design process. Rick posted:I was box score watching as the game was going early and for a while it seemed ASU was actually controlling that game, then I stopped until the end and somehow that final score happened. It was a pretty fun, close game for the first ~20 minutes, and then we went on a 42-3 run in the middle of the game that visibly broke ASU and completely deflated their fans.

So just as a fun thought experiment, how much misery would Charlie Strong's Eagle Scouts have to endure before they could theoretically come in to a game wearing Texas uniforms and still be seen as the good guys? Like say next season Texas goes up against a heavily favored Oklahoma team that's starting Joe Mixon among other noted assholes. Could you root for a bunch of squeaky clean woman-respecting underdogs in burnt orange? Or did we pass the point of no return long ago?

TBH to root for the Longhorns they'd either need to play a team I actively hate (there aren't any West of the Mississippi) or lose their status as the most generously funded sports program on the planet. So if Red McCombs jumps ship to Oklahoma and buys them a new stadium and they start talking constantly about how they're the best job in sports and get their own network and yadda yadda I might root for y'all. PS Mack Brown was on Finebaum yesterday and he was just the sweetest guy.

Pretty sure Iowa's athletic's department by design and practice is designed to fund itself so every year it breaks even by default. I think the only time they don't is when they have some sort of capital development when the schools general fund kicks in the shortfall, it's generally not much in comparison. I'd imagine this is from a year ago when they were upgrading the North endzone. On another note, goddamn Iowa at number 11 above schools like Penn State and Auburn.

New practice facility I think, but yeah aside from that (and not having to pay taxes, obviously), they're completely self-sufficient. Football also funds more or less the entire department, although I think Basketball turned a tiny profit last year too. The State Board of Regents was making noise about UNI and ISU being self sufficent eventually too, which would be hilarious. They'd have to cut basically everything.

All programs who are net contributors: tOSU - 23m Bama - 21m OU - 21m UT - 19m Florida - 19m Oregon - 18m Michigan - 12m LSU - 12m Kansas - 11m KSU - 9m A&M - 8m UDubs - 6m Neb - 5m Ark - 5m Mizzou - 4m TTU - 2m Mississippi State - 2m Sparty - 2m Kentucky - 1m Indiana - 1m e: some analysis: Kansas is the lowest revenue net contributor. TTU is the 2nd and Missouri just edges out Indiana as the 3rd. 'Bama's profit margin is by far the widest, but they are pulled back by their nearly 6 million subsidy. Note: all these are very rough, done in head numbers. kayakyakr fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Sep 26, 2014 |
