re: So why would ESPN agree to this regarding college football playoffs?
Posted by MillerLiteTime on 5/22/24 at 3:47 pm
Makes perfect sense for ESPN. Keep the majority of playoff games so people need to pay subscriber fees for ESPN access. Sell off a few games a year to another network for more money than ESPN could profit off of ad revenue alone.
ESPN’s better announcers were going to be stretched thin as is bet...

His status as a golfer has zero to do with this. It is a public road and an active accident scene. If the road in front of my office is blocked due to a major traffic accident, does that mean I can drive o...
re: The SEC fan base who does not fit the SEC style an are just weird and odd in every way.
Posted by MillerLiteTime on 5/15/24 at 5:23 pm
They are odd, but the oddness is actually why they are a great SEC fit. You have to care a ton about college football to do the weird things they do for their school. Passion is the common denominator in the SEC (except Vandy)....

re: Why are there rumors about Kansas joining the SEC?

Kansas simply isn’t happening. The SEC’s last expansion will be along the Atlantic coast with FSU, Clemson, and a NC and VA school. Then the SEC is closed for good. ...

Posted by MillerLiteTime on 5/12/24 at 9:34 am
Fair assessment. Prior to the 80s the State of Florida had zero “major” programs. Within a decade it had 3. My guess is Miami soaked up all the attention in the 80s so no one noticed Florida was rising too until a big personality like Spurrier came in with an offense everyone wanted to see.
