A couple thoughts on the SCUM defense. 1) Whatever combination of cheating and talent allow them to have an elite front 7 the last few years, they do not have that on this team. OU did not have any consistent running success yesterday or last week except for QB power run. SCUM had only 1 play...

I think two things are true about scums offense right now 1) To get Underwood to flip his commitment, Moore promised him that he would not turn him into a running quarterback and would run a pro style offense. The reason Underwood did not commit to Michigan originally as he was worried about...

A random SCUM thought- If you are making a play action fake to a RB that is not there then someone doesn't know the play (this has happened several times is the 3 halves of SCUM football I have watched this year). If the RB doesn't know the play, that's a problem but if it's the QB, that doesn't...

Julian and JJ say "What?"

Franklin runs Singleton for a 4 yard TD after an FIU turnover with 1:22 left in the game. I'm a play to the whistle guy but to do that with your top RB is bush league.

1) Watch a really bad Iowa team play ISU. 2) Check in the BP Game Discussion Thread and read that Texas and Arch Manning are stinking it up. 3) Decide to switch games but before I can wife ask me to help her do something. 4) Come back and change channels to Texas 5) First play is Manning's 4th...

Exactly, and in a whole lot less words then I would have used.

Actually this is the one area where the CSC is on pretty firm legal ground. If the House Settlement gets tossed by the courts it will almost certainly be because of issues with numbers 1 and 3 that I listed. On this one, I can even explain it without resorting to a legal brief. However...

Why not both?

Be glad to, but let me warn you even though I will try to keep this brief, it's probably going to be a little long. First, any court approves settlements based on a weighing of equities. Almost always it is not a question of whether a claim has merit, but what is the solution that is best for...

The first half was all I could stomach so I don't know if the second half was any different. Underwood does have a canon for an arm. On the intermediate throws, the ball does get there in a hurry. He occasionally put way too much mustard on a short throw, making it difficult to catch. His...

Yea, I know. Every time I start talking to friends about this their eyes immediately glaze over. What can I say, I'm a real geek about this type of shit.

This is really interesting because just this morning I watched the Greg Olsen interview with Ryan Day (I just posted it in the Ryan Day thread). The very next thread I read was this one. Hearing Day talk about the expectations he has of his coaches and then reading Fat Tony taking his shot at...

Really interesting interview by Greg Olsen of Ryan Day. Not about football. All about culture, character, and building both. 42 minutes long but if you skip the advertisement, it's only 27 to 28 minutes of interview.

I remember watching Hornyak as a high school student. What really was incredible was his range. Only Steph Curry and Rick Mount could match his range. All the basketball games were carried on channel 4 (NBC). The announcer was Jimmy Crum and he would yell "how about that sports fan?" after a...

I really hope this means that the CSC is clarifying and amending some of their initial rules. I know from watching several of Mark Pantoni's media appearances that they needed that clarity to move forward. For example, Pantoni complained about the initial CSC rule that all revenue sharing would...

If by this you mean the House Settlement, then on this one issue we will have to agree to disagree. Contrary to conventional wisdom, not all limitations on compensation are adjudicated to be in violation of the antitrust statutes. To determine if they are courts use what they call the Rule of...

Thanks, I spent the last several years of my career negotiating multi million dollar agreements for a Fortune 500 company, so my thoughts immediately go to contract complexity (it's also why I find this stuff interesting in retirement). A football only, 30 school league certainly makes that...

Apologies for what some may feel is a little bit of a geek out and for asking the following if you've already dealt with them elsewhere, but I've been thinking about your structure since yesterday and I have a few questions. 1) Since everyone will have a separate LLC for each school and you...

I got to admit that is a very creative solution that solves all the problems. I don't see the Boards and Presidents giving up the control of "sports entertainment" right now. But if the House Settlement gets knocked down by higher courts and Congress doesn't give them a limited anti trust...
