What is the cutoff date for being old money? Asking for a friend.

In New Orleans, around 1895
Alabama because they have a multitude of very good shooters, inside and out, with a solid defense.

Nostalgia alone still carries it a long way for most people. But the days of Chris, Lee, and Kirk giving us educated insight into the world of CFB are long gone.
From a content standpoint it’s nearly unwatchable now


It is tougher to watch, but the students love their presence on campus - hopefully each gets a chance to experience during their 4 or 5 year stay at LSU

Xfer iPhone music into MacBook Pro

Possible without having to subscribe to some 3rd party app, or Apple Music? I’ve searched and have not found a good option - anyone know how? iTunes is not available for newer MacBooks.

If so, please share.
TIA
I think those least removed from high school ball were best equipped to break the 73mph change up mystique.

Extremely interesting list - thanks for posting

Once the ACC dissolves we’ll be down to the Power 2 that everyone seems to want.


It will be:
Big 10/SEC

Big 12

DIS market cap down to $180 Bil - so around $95B for controlling interest?
Don’t know, but thanks for not calling it “intersquad”
Troll move - and typical Oilers finish ;-)

Heisman Vote Disclosure Proposal

Posted by SwatMitchell on 12/10/23 at 9:09 am
If the winner is not listed on your ballot (i.e. in your top 3), you lose your vote the next year.

(Possible) Grace given to past winners: if the winner is not on your ballot, your vote becomes public the next year(s) - until you get it right…
8) The best players on teams 7-12 will be much less likely to opt out of the postseason.

quote:
There are tons of reasons to like the 12 team playoff.

1) More big time matchups to end the season.
2) In an era of neutral site games, we get more premier, on-campus matchups.
3) Your team has a better shot to get hot late and make a run rather than being out of it by October.
4) Regular season still matters because you’re playing for byes and home field advantage.
5) Less opportunity for the REC to hose us out of playoff contention.
6) Teams who improve throughout the year still have a fighting chance to make the playoffs.
7) More meaningful games in November.
——————————————————
9) Perhaps more willingness to schedule bigger Sept matchups since that potential win can sway toward top 4 (i.e. bye), but a loss less likely to knock you out of playoff. This past Sept was rather weak on big non-con games

re: Does The Big 12 their name?

How about just “The Big Conference” (not “The BIG”)
Looks like a battle, a skirmish, and a slew of slaughters

It’s watched in this house and that’s what we’d pay monthly to keep it.
