Could they do an NIT after the first round of the NCAAT and just use all of the losers and let them have some fun with that?


Not a bad idea. Have the 12 losers of the play-in games and the 32 losers of the first-round proper and add in some traditional power programs or upstart mid-majors and play games at campus sites.

I don't know how much interest it would draw, but it beats the current NIT/CBA/XYZ tournaments.
Pretty cruel to invite him to the rookie minicamp. Why couldn't they just invite him to the rookie regular camp?

They did a great bit about a brainstorming session where each of them came up with the most absurd story possible, and they were shot down one by one because they were already happening in real life.

At one time I could name all 206 bones in the human body. I swear to God I have never heard of a hamate bone. Apparently, it's in your hand/wrist.

You learn something new every day, I guess.

Apparently he misunderstood the bartender who said "You should get a driver". Tiger said "Oh, I've got a bunch of them in my garage" and drove away.
$10 million to buy him out.

The AD that gave him that ridiculous contract (6 years, $26 million), which also includes an $11 million buyout, needs to not only be fired, but publicly ridiculed.

Here's to hoping that performance-based contracts with no buyouts become the new norm. Which AD is going to have the cajones to be the first?

Mizzou +7.5 on the road? Book it, easy win for A&M. No way Mizzou wins this one.


And this, my friends, is why I am reminded on a daily basis NOT to gamble.

I wish I had a nickel for every friend who has told me "I got 5 out of 6 on my parlay", or "I almost won $1,000 on that Mizzou game". Gamblers are worse liars than day traders.

Entertaining game. Mizzou's zone defense is horrible and even 11 first-half 3 pointers by Aggie was not enough for Gates to make adjustments.

Offense looked good. Pierce and Barrett, especially.

A lot of standing around by Aggie defense. Really poor body language.
Wait a second, that big kid has an Indians uniform on. I demand an investigation.

It's what we do. Occasionally beat a good team, then shite the bed against the bad ones.
Gators, I am sorry we poked the bear. I don't know how we beat you, but since then you have been blowing people out (excepting Auburn).

We would lose by 50 if we played again.

I like the way your guys play. It is refreshing to watch a team that actually passes the ball, blocks out, plays defense, and knows how to use the low post. Good luck the rest of the way.

re: Could an nfl team from the 70's

Posted by MIZ83 on 1/19/26 at 12:07 pm to
I think the current college team would win.

Most of those guys that played in the NFL in the 1970s are well into their 70s now and probably don't move as fast as they used to.

CNBC's list reflects the current enterprise value of each program, starting with a base revenue multiple of four for all institutions, and then adjusting the multiple for variables, including conference affiliation, estimated NIL spend, school subsidies, number of alumni and other factors that can catalyze revenue growth and profitability.


FWIW: Here is the methodology for their rankings. Sounds real objective. I really like "other factors that can catalyze revenue growth and profitability".
