    Boilers open up a 3 point favorite

    I do not agree. Purdue's first three games were full of turnovers and incredibly dumb personal fouls. They lost the first three games by a total of 8 points and all three went down to the final minute. With all that baggage, they were only seven point dogs to a 3-0 top-25 BC. Purdue totally...

    Let's say the guy is 50, and a (cute) 36 y/o girl wants to date him cause she's into older men

    The real issue is "why have kids?" Many women want to get married and start having babies dropping out of crotch ASAP, usually at the urging of soon-to-be grandparents. Marriage is fine for people in love. There is a sea change in lifestyle once the kids arrive.

    Let's say the guy is 50, and a (cute) 36 y/o girl wants to date him cause she's into older men

    Me smells gold digger. Betcha the dude is well off and the gal is driving a 2005 Chevy Cavalier. FYI, I met my wife in college when I was working intermittent part-time at Burger Chef (no longer exists). I started up a conversation with her after class one day and the first thing she said to me...

    Comcast and BTN

    Virtually the sole source for B1G ice hockey and about half the conference basketball games. If you prefer ice fishing and snowmobiling in the winter, then you're not missing anything.

    Who in the Big Ten treats visiting football fans the best?

    Haven't been to Nebraska. Best four I've been to were Penn State, Iowa, Illinois and Minny. Worst three were Wisconsin, Michigan State and Wisconsin. Did I mention Wisconsin?

    Township Scholarships

    Looks like I hit a nerve.

    Township Scholarships

    Dude, I'm just having fun here. Don't take it so seriously.

    Township Scholarships

    So just how many, uh, you know, uh, (wink wink) "walk-ons" do the Huskers have on the team this year? (wink wink)

    Township Scholarships

    Huskers I have a key insight that Coach Frost can use to get you guys to the promised land. Nebraska has only 93 counties, but the state has 460 townships. Township scholarships! My gosh, you'll need to start using three digits on the uniforms to keep the players straight...

    BTN 2 go

    You watched baseball games on TV?

    Possible B1G expansion candidate: Colorado

    Yuck. For a truly national audience, the B1G would add Army, Navy, Air Force and Notre Dame.
  12. Q

    Possible B1G expansion candidate: Colorado

    Mizzou is also a bad fit for the B1G. You do understand that their race riots have decreased enrollment by 35%, right? Mizzou has also closed seven dorms. http://thefederalist.com/2017/07/12/student-riots-slashed-mizzou-enrollment-35-percent-two-years/...

    Four four-team divisions (I hate the word "pods")

    No problem with me. I'm not an academic snob but Texas is and there is a whole bunch more of them among the B1G presidents.
  14. Q

    Four four-team divisions (I hate the word "pods")

    UT/A&M/OU/Arky would be fine with me but that's a pipe dream. Don't forget that Texas is arrogant bunch of academic snobs. The Horns are clearly the most highly regarded school in the B12 but they'd barely make the top third in the B1G.
  15. Q

    Four four-team divisions (I hate the word "pods")

    Although the article is two years old, nothing has changed. Texas and Ou refuse to extend the B12 GOR. Texas' red-hot end-of-season rivalry game is now TCU. Texas' football attendance has declined 11% in the past five years and their schedules are BORING (link). Actual attendance, not tickets...

    Four four-team divisions (I hate the word "pods")

    Both Texas and Oklahoma refuse to extend the B12 GOR beyond the 2025 expiration date. They don't sound like happy campers. https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-12-expansion-losing-momentum-no-grant-of-rights-extension-ranking-candidates/

    Tier 3 rights for Oklahoma

    Yeah, but back to the OP, why is the BTN buying up Oklahoma's Tier 3 rights?
  18. Q

    Four four-team divisions (I hate the word "pods")

    Jim Delany was a double grad of UNC (undergrad and law school), his wife was a UNC grad and both of their kids graduated from UNC while the family was living in metro Chicago. I'm sure UNC is on Delany's short list for the B1G.
  19. Q

    Four four-team divisions (I hate the word "pods")

    Indeed, if the other boxes are to be checked. Those boxes include: academics + athletics (85% football) + TV market aka brand + expansion of BTN footprint (not the same as TV market) + AAU membership + resurrecting/maintaining classic rivalries + geographic proximity + state flagship. No school...
  20. Q

    Four four-team divisions (I hate the word "pods")

    Oh, I've got a pretty thick hide about little jabs like that. Point is, the academic prowess of the B1G is probably the most appealing feature of the conference to schools like Oklahoma and Texas.
