    Hey B1G …


    Why does college football insist on making this so fucking hard? 32 best programs into four 8 team divisions.

    Bruh, I've got letters in the most traditionalist, change averse college sport in America. We (?) fucking invented college sports by the way.

    No one on this board is more of luddite about college football than Yella. But the dickheads in charge (along with the kids and their parents) ruined everything that was great about the sport a long time ago. What's worth saving about the traditional conferences at this point? Bring on the gay ass NFL 32 best teams super conference.

    One of the things I struggle to accept is the notion that UCLA's soccer team will have to fly to fucking New Jersey to play Rutgers in a conference match. And that West Virginia tennis teams fly to the Texas Panhandle to play a conference match against the Red Raiders. Etc. That whole notion of regional rivalries and traditions that go back a century, none of it matters enough in the end. So to that end, I agree with you.
    I feel like I'm always saying this.
    One thing seems simple to me that football should be different than the other sports conference wise, even basketball. These sports should possibly be made even more regionals since no one gives a fuck. College football put wheels in motion to make it really only survive eventually with super conferences.

    I feel like this overall created a situation that forced all the Pac-12 schools to be in lose-lose situations but to make a jump for survivability. The LA schools were just the first to get offered a semi-life raft.

    The best choice is probably for UW to go to the Big Ten, if they can get an offer. They could be fine in a zombie Pac-12 but they will absolutely have to dominate and find a way to immediately schedule more marque non-conference games.

    You contradict yourself. Do you support college football becoming the NFL or do you support it keeping its traditions?

    I'm no expert but that seems like some unacceptably bad economics. It's not my money but that much waste bugs me. There has to be a better way that keeps non revenue sports from leaving their region and traditional rivalries.
    If the economy does have some sort of epic crash, the economics of conference realignment may prove infeasible
    That's an interesting notion. How epic does an economic crash have to be before it has a meaningful, lasting impact on the sports world? It hasn't happened in my lifetime that I'm aware of.

    Christianity is a subversive religion that thrives under oppression

    State religion is the worst thing that ever happened to it

    I'd like to see this play out a little more in the Tug.
    I could argue his point both ways. America became great in large part because of its protestant Christian foundation. Its water-down tolerance has arguably led to its downfall too, but that's another story.
    Let's talk abortion.

    You’re both right, integration into government is the worst thing that ever happened to the church but the best thing that happened to the government.
