BSD Podcast Episode 3: Where's The Hate?!

I was at an MSU game a few years ago, and was talking with someone (who was gonna give away their tickets) about giving me their tickets (50 yard line, front 10 rows) and I’d give them mine (upper deck somewhere), which they could then give away. Then someone walks buy looking for tickets, and the guy just gave him his tickets, saying something about wanting an MSU fan to be sitting there.

What does this new guy do? Without walking even 5 feet he holds up the tickets “for sale” and winds up selling them to 2 PSU fans looking for tix.

If I can’t have Alfredo Garcia, then I want Tom Osborne’s.

A&M’s board of regents likely will meet late this week — perhaps as soon as Thursday — to decide the Aggies’ sporting future, a person with knowledge of the situation said. And that future appears to be the SEC, as the powerful league to the east is prepared to lure A&M away from the clinging-to-hope Big 12, a proposed Pacific-10 affiliation and its storied league rivalry with Texas.

Here.

Thanks. Last band is Slimpickins, from New Orleans, if you’re into that sorta thing. Saw them in Seattle, very cool live.

Miami laid an egg that night. They fell down early and gave up in the second quarter. They couldn’t even make it close to give PSU a chance at a split title.

Just in time to blame someone else for the death of the Big XII. Does anyone think A&M should stick around for this? I don’t. Plus how long before Texas isn’t committed to a 10 team Big XII? Three years, maybe?

Texas A&M’s flirtation with the SEC is making the people in Austin nervous. They see little brother heading off into the world on his own. If Texas joins the Pac-10 they will be playing Washington, Arizona, UCLA, and Texas Tech while 40 miles up the road in College Station the Aggies will be playing LSU, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, and Georgia.

Which games do you think ESPN would rather broadcast in Dallas and Houston? Big Brother can’t let that happen, so now he has to commit to making the Big XII work with just 10 teams.

It’s the new Southwest Conference: Texas and its merry band of punching bags.

I still think Chip is a guy with solid sources, but in the end, nothing but a UT-A PR outlet.

They say the move of UT, TT, OSU, and OU is imminent.

Is there anyway we can knock it off with the aTm? Am I asking too much? If we keep it, then I propose we mandate “Big1T1en” until next July, at which time we’ll require “Big T(welv)en”

to find the map that was so easy to locate before expansion polluted my google searches. I wanted it for this post’s picture.

94 is the split national championships in 90 and/or 91 and 97. Every other year the title was split except that year.

My 2 dogs now are generally disinterested in the TV, even when I’ve tried to get them excited about an animal or ball on TV. About the only thing that gets a reaction is a barking or whining dog, and even then it is mostly just a perked ear (which is surprising mainly cuz my one dog is a pretty good “guard dog” and will alert us to virtually any noise from outside.

I used to have a dog that LOVED TV. Started by chasing the baseball on screen (including running around to the back/side and being confused about where it went). It eventually evolved to where we would go up to my dad’s lake house where my dog absolutely LOVED swimming all day, and instead of running immediately down to the lake, he’d run immediately into the living room and sit patiently in front of the TV until we turned it on for him. He didn’t even care what was on (didn’t even have to be a ball or other animal anymore). He’d watch ANYTHING.

our German Shepard would run around the house barking, growling and looking for the intruder. Wonderful dog, but not too bright.

Totally impossible, indeed.

It’s been enjoyable to see this pot of boiling soup dropped in Texas’ lap. I hope A&M goes through with the SEC thing.

I totally want my marriage to work out (unless that sexy millionaire comes and hits on me)

I think the list is probably Texas, ND, and then we’ll see based on the first two. If Texas stays, gets their own network, then the B12 is the B10, and then it’s up to ND. If ND joins, then we’ll probably take Rutgers or Syracuse. If not, we’ll stay at 12. Seems like given those options I’d rather sit at 12 unless both Texas and ND want to join.

after almost 20 years of having 11 teams in the Big Ten (despite the logo with the 11 in between the numbers) and not really caring that it made sense to still indicate there were 10 teams, does Delaney change the name or stick with tradition?

The conference will be more Texas-centric than ever and the money disparity will shift further toward UT. The Big 12 stepped back from the edge for now, I guess.

..and completely making things up. When the real checks end up being far less than what the numbers are now (3 or 4 years from now), nobody will remember anyway.
