Congratulations to the Coog and Boobie. You've managed to out stupid Tequilla in this thread. At least Sven's stupidity is mostly shtick.
Under Armour sucks, especially the shoes. They've never had one cool cleat or basketball shoe. It's a brand for middle aged white men.
College football wise, Nike has Alabama, Ohio State, Florida State, Michigan... Basically every blue blood program or elite program other than Notre Dame. They aren't going anywhere. -
When LeBron retires, they fall. Cook it.FremontTroll said:
This was a popular hot take in 2006. It will likely still be a popular hot take in 2026 and Nike will keep on dominating.salemcoog said:

Come up with a realistic conference realignment that cuts out the PAC.RaceBannon said:ESPN is going to launch the ACC Network. So that's 3 out of 4. It's between the Big12 and the Pac.
We? lose
Sorry to interrupt the self-hate session but it's not happening.
You're welcome.
We already saw during the last realignment that the Big12 was in the weakest position by far due to having the smallest footprint by population, their location getting squeezed in between three other conferences, and the unequal sharing of power between Texas and the rest. Those issues have only worsened with the defections and the incursion of the SEC into Texas.
There is no PAC school that makes sense as an expansion target for other schools culturally, geographically, or economically. Which is why there has never even been a rumor floated of such happening.
Washington and Oregon (and their little brothers) aren't going to be left out in favor of WVU and Iowa State.
Why do they need the Pacific Northwest?
Why do they need Iowa State, West Virginia, Baylor, Kansas State, or Texas Tech?
You do point out several schools that can die in a fire though. The eventual culling of two mediocre conferences into the Western power conference will be interesting.
Nike will be like Reebok is now in 15 years.
Adidas will be Adidas.
Under Armour will be Nike in 5 years. -

Kids care about what the professional players wear 1000 x more than they care about what college teams are wearing. Nike isn't automatically getting the blue chip pro stars as they used to.
I hope that offered a little insight as you chat back and forth with Chest about pre-season SRS rankings. Give him my best will ya. -
Christ. I hope you're trolling. Nike doesn't have Curry and Tom Brady. That's it. Curry blew up after signing with Under Armour. His shoes still suck. His most recent release was rightfully destroyed online.The only reason he is with UA is because Nike hardly cared.salemcoog said:

You don't think Nike gets the next LeBron? Nobody, or at least very few in the basketball world thinks Under Armour basketball shoes are cool. When LeBron retires, Nike will have a new LeBron. LeBron can still release shoes and gear after retirement like another guy named Michael Jordan.
Almost every big college football team is with Nike. Same for basketball (Kentucky, Duke, UNC (Jordan), Michigan State). Nike has the inside track to 90% of good players from the best college teams. That's not important though, right? -
The shoe/athletic company on the way up is Adidas. Their lifestyle wear is now considered cool an they already had soccer.
The Yeezy's are the first shoes in a long time that are trendier than Jordan's. -
Put a fork in Under Armour and Curry. The Finals loss, the annoying wife, the shitty shoes...rodmansrage said:lets keep piling on UA
ROFL
These shoes suck in all 50 states!
And now he has to share the spotlight with Durant. -

Now more than ever, frogger on the 405 ... the BS that the PAC is way behind the Big 12 is insanely FS -
