Semi-anonymous profile of a UCLA & USC grad still preoccupied by college football and what’s in @TheEconomist. - “Not all who wander are lost.”

Looking at old college football previews today waiting for this year’s magazine to come out, and Gosh darn, finally found one where Ohio State isn’t a contender to win a Natty:

@TrekDocFan Be glad fhey stopped the Undie Run, lol

[𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙖 @MrTPSM]

@TerryTerry79 @JWMediaDC So you are right that streaming does free up capacity but it still isn’t worth it to go head to bead.

Who knew someone at the most storied law firm based in Phoenix would actually get to the bottom of the Sorsby injunction, lol:

@TerryTerry79 @JWMediaDC Networks won't do it though. Counterprogramming sitcoms and other types of shows have been around since the 1980s...

[𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙖 @MrTPSM]

@TerryTerry79 @JWMediaDC Yes but the math doesn't add up. You have four big networks and how many individual schools? Even if yo udon't have conferences the schools that sign with the same broadcast are de facto leagues.

@WinterSportsLaw Typical collateral attack bullshit, IMHO.

Who is leaving March Madness behind to spite Texas Tech?

@CalBearsGR8 @calburnerphone This is what made the old PAC 12 so great.

All these high performing academic universities condition people to be so easily triggered, lol.

Started reading the 2026 Lindy’s CFB preview and made the mistake of looking up something on Google:

@calburnerphone I will say moving the Apple Cup and UCLA-Cal to the long Labor Day weekend is a nice touch to make the rivalry game easier to attend.

We are just lucky that Jackie Robinson and Rod Dedeaux aren’t still alive so that we don’t have to try to explain this one, lol

The Big Ten once again will not send a representative to the College World Series. The only Big Ten teams in the last decade were Michigan in 2019 and UCLA last year. The western additions have certainly helped, but the Big Ten is still effectively a midmajor in Baseball.

@lisaabramowicz1 If you use an airline rewards card, higher prices on consumer goods earns you more travel and awards don’t fluctuate like jet fuel.

The impact is being felt at the leisure destinations with people not coming.

@calburnerphone Washington State and OSU, lol?

[𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙖 @MrTPSM]

@Tequilla_UW @DouglasTS @twitVonwill @JWMediaDC I mean, the migration from California to the other Western states started happening in the 2000s as housing prices suddenly rose.

Then we ended up with a Governor who basically cut a deal with the UC system and forced them to follow USC's lead focusing on Asia for students.

[𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙖 @MrTPSM]

@DouglasTS @Tequilla_UW @twitVonwill @JWMediaDC Well it became more evident as the conference collapsed because everyone's source seemed to be wrong about what the rest of the schools were doing as far as whether there was a media deal or not.

[𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙖 @MrTPSM]

@DouglasTS @Tequilla_UW @twitVonwill @JWMediaDC It’s not gonna last.

If someone told you in 2014 a Power 5 conference was going to collapse in the next ten years would you have picked the PAC 12 over the ACC or Big XII?

[𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙖 @MrTPSM]

@Tequilla_UW @DouglasTS @twitVonwill @JWMediaDC Darnold caught people by surprise because the emphasis was on Mora and Genius Josh Rosen.

There was no tape of him as a freshman and he had Ju-Ju Schuster running routes against James Franklin’s Penn State.

But again, no sanctions and USC has a NFL team roster at that point.

[𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙖 @MrTPSM]

@Tequilla_UW @DouglasTS @twitVonwill @JWMediaDC I think that in a 12-14 team conference yes…the big four approach is helpful (as long as you are nice to Cal and Stanford).

I think an 18 school conference is a recipe for collapse no matter what the teams are.

The travel is just making this into a melodrama.

[𝙏𝙤𝙢 𝙈𝙘𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙖 @MrTPSM]

@Tequilla_UW @DouglasTS @twitVonwill @JWMediaDC Look up who was their QB that season…lol.
