test that man for CTE. I like Garrett and think he will do really well in the league, but there are some grown men who have played more than 1 preseason game that Thomas may want to watch film of before speaking again.


Do you have any idea who Joe Thomas is?

Hint: He doesn't need to "watch film" of anyone to know what NFL DE's are capable of.

Were you in town? Didi you go?


It's going to be a rough basketball season for A&M. Big lack of guard play this year.

And, no, unfortunately I haven't been back up much lately. Just too busy. Starting to ponder moving back to the area though. I really miss the slower pace.
Happy New Year to you as well!

And good point, I know PSU and OSU in particular are already huge presences on the east coast, I'll take your word on the others. Adding Rutgers and Maryland bumps all of those other Big 10 grads in the area up to the higher fee structure as well. Crafty mid-westerners.

Did the Big 10 network somehow get a huge jump in subscribers in DC and NY?
Are they getting bigger numbers in these markets since adding Rutgers and Maryland?


It's about subscriber fees. Everyone with a cable package that inckudes the network pays a fee for it, but the fre paid by "in-market" subscribers is much higher than the one paid by "out-of-market" subscribers.

quote:

In expanding its scholastic footprint, the Big Ten also increased the value of the BTN's New York and D.C. subscribers. According to SNL Kagan data, cable operators pay an estimated "in-market" rate of $1 per sub per month, more than double the $0.44 fees charged outside the conference's home markets. Cablevision alone serves 2.64 million video customers in New York, New Jersey and southwestern Connecticut; with the upgraded fee in place, BTN sees its annual payout from the operator rise to around $31.7 million from $13.9 million.

The population that the SEC reaches is probably bigger than the B1G's footprint. Texas and Florida alone combine for over 47 million people.


I got bored and did the math.

Big 10's current footprint population is approx. 103 million.

SEC current footprint population is approx. 94 million.

Getting into New York and DC metros was huge for the Big 10.

Big 10 footprint is bigger than SEC. Rutgers campus is located in the NYC metro area, which has a population of 20 million by itself, plus another 5 million in the southern part of NJ. That's why lowly Rutgers got a Big 10 invite while bigger and better programs didn't. They were the population cash cow fir the Big 10.

You put money on A&M to win a game after Halloween. :rotflmao: :spank: :rotflmao:
La Tech is a solid school. This is not a surprising outcome to people familiar with the university.

I mean it's hard not to admit how amazing their dynasty is. I don't know about attach, but I think some of us feel we can see Bama for what it is while LSU fans can't do that due to jealousy

It's about being intellectually honest. That's what separates us from LSU fans. Since we've been in this conference, LSU's greatest accomplishment is beating Texas A&M. Meanwhile, Alabama wins real championships.

Everything you just typed is a bunch of bullshite.




Nailed it. :lol:
The question isn't which draft picks have been disappointing so far. It's who is the biggest SEC draft bust of the last decade.

Seeing as how that group includes JaMarcus Russell and Trent Richardson, nobody who is still starting games in the NFL is in the conversation.
Joeckel doesn't belong on this list. He had a season ending injury in year one, a bad season in year two, an ok third season, and got moved to another position on the line in year 4, and looked much better until he got another season ending injury.

The Jags declined to pick up his contract because it's stupid to pay left tackle money to a left guard, especially one coming off of a second major injury. The Jags will either re-sign him as a left guard, with a LG appropriate salary for next year, or he'll get an offer to play LT for another franchise.

It's not exactly a stellar start to his career, but it's not anything like Russell or Richardson, and the fact that his team still wants him as a starter on their o-line, I think, takes him out of the "Bust" category.
There is tons of offensive talent in Texas, but not a whole lot of defensive talent.

And even when you do find talented defenders, they can often count the number of power run offenses they faced in high school on their fingers, and have some left over. The proliferation of of air raid offenses in Texas high schools has seriously undermined the development of defensive skills.

If Chavis is going to build an SEC caliber defense, he has to start pulling run stoppers out of Louisiana, and the deep south states.
Another day, another Longhorn batin' himself to the games of yesteryear.

5-7 bruh.

But hey, at least you beat Baylor and Iowa State this year.

Your fanbase has been reduced to talking smack about being undefeated against Kentucky.

Stop for a second and let that sink in.

Context of what you respond to matters.


Agreed. As such, you should probably try cooling your little sjw jets long enough to read other peoples' posts before responding them. You might say less stupid shite that way. Then again, you might not. Who knows.

You called me a privileged suburban kid.


I sure did.

quote:

You tried to ridicule me for defending Muslims as regular people.


Ridicule you? Yes.

Ridicule you for "defending" muslims? No.

Just so we're clear, I'm ridiculing you for thinking that your tireless crusade of posting sjw diatribes, and beating up on your own straw men on an anonymous internet sports message board has any impact whatsoever on the real world.

Both fanbases thought they were good, now they know they are average teams. They spent all year at each others throats, now they are worn out.
Pretty much sums it up.


Yep.

Be sure to let us all know how much you accomplish for your cause.

I can't convince you to not think stereotypical things about Muslims or try to persuade you to accept them. All I'm doing is explaining that these views of intolerance are ridiculous. Discrimination and hatred are not true American values. I'm explaining what it's like having basic moral principles such as trying to get to know people and looking at facts before making generalizations. Elementary level logical thinking skills man, so many of you lack them.


Well, you certainly didn't waste any time projecting a whole lot of views onto me that I do not hold.

A reasonable person exercising the elementary level of logical thinking you are calling for just might conclude that it's you making the generalizations.

Indeed, the only person towards whom I've insinuated any measure of distaste is you.
