This thread has made me realize I need to go find an update on Hanks 2nd honeymoon.

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

I’d say for red zin and super heavy cab - central coast can’t be beat. And because of the heat that makes the grapes so dense, the alcohol content is through the roof (16+ is pretty normal there) but it also makes it a lot more smooth. I’m a red zin guy and usually get Paso wines when available (which HEB has a ton). And yes GSM is popular in the central coat.
Because HEB has a crap ton of Paso zins?

I would prefer we pack up and head to the B12. Better sports, better money. Academics take a dip, but really has no effect on us - we don't lose anything. Academics still aren't bad anyways if we have us, Utah, AZ, KS, TCU, Baylor. Not PAC quality but those are good academic schools. UCF & Kstate suck, but we have a couple of those here too. I'm here because I love Buffalo football, and I'd like to see us go B12 with the other 3 and force OU & UW to sweat bullets
oh, like it is somehow OUR bad that we can distinguish between fine wines and aren't chugging PBR tall boys with a wad of chew wedged into our mouths and a pile of horse **** attached to our boot. i feel judged.
i do hope ucla gets ****ed out of the big-- the schadenfreude would run deep and satisfyingly strong.
of course, with our **** luck and self destructive instincts, the big would probably just decide to go ahead and add cal to keep the regents happy and then i would be extra ****ing bummed.
how long must we wander in the desert? the Book of Buff is filled with plagues and hardships.

Here’s the thing, loooove me some tailgate with charcuterie and red zin accompanied by smoked brisket/ribs/sausage/cole slaw/potato salad and bourbon. Soooo…Big XII with Stanford and San Jose St??oh, like it is somehow OUR bad that we can distinguish between fine wines and aren't chugging PBR tall boys with a wad of chew wedged into our mouths and a pile of horse **** attached to our boot. i feel judged.

I'm open to taking Air Force. Service Academies are national brands. No idea what kind of revenue they would bring though.
$500 hammers?
Yeah, that didn't work as planned.
Don’t throw a wrench in my joke.
Yeah he really screwed it up.
And the UC regents are just going to ignore UC Merced? Please.
And Santa Cruz. The be like “bring us to the B1G! We’ll restart our football team!”
Conference realignment slows as Big 12, Pac-12 may be realizing they're worth more together than apart
Plus: What's ahead for the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and College Football Playoff?

I think this eventually happens.
The monetary gap blurb at the end is depressing. No matter what happens, the Pac12 would have to increase their media rights payouts 240% to reach HALF of what the B1G is going to get.Conference realignment slows as Big 12, Pac-12 may be realizing they're worth more together than apart

Yeah I hear they sell excellent merlot at Dodger games. One question-If CU winds up back in the Big 12, TV revenue will be the driver. You'd rather take less TV money and stay in the Pac 10?
You guys are dumber than I thought if that's the case.
News flash: we are totally ****ed wherever we land. Screwed completely. I am copacetic with whatever. Anger denial bargaining and finally acceptance. Sure let’s go get the best financial deal it won’t matter — my whines and cheeezes travel but wherever we go there we are. Still ****ed.
Football-wise, if that's a word, I don't get any fewer utils of enjoyment watching CU play K-State or Texas Tech than I would watching them play UCLA or Stanford, so I'm kind of failing to understand the geographic angst. There are still forward passes, firsts-in-ten, and 52 yard FG attempts. If more TV money comes with it then it's a no brainer.
There are far more problems with CU football than the issue of what conference the school is in. Phil D. must go.

Two Buck Chuck and a block of Velveeta will travel just fine in the Buick SUV on the way to Waco.....But, yeah, we still have CU problems.
The process of separating the top programs from the rest is underway but I hate to admit we are already separated.
Honestly in the past five/ten years how many recruits have we had who could have had a committable offer to Bama, Georgia, tOSU,? Honestly how many could have gotten one to USC or Oklahoma?
We fantasize about development but again how many players have we had who would have broken into the two deep or even three deep of those schools? A few but not many.
We aren't playing at the top level of college football anymore. Our administration isn't willing and we don't have the financial resources to get there unless something dramatic happens.
Doesn't matter if we are in the PAC or the B12 it is only a matter of time until we are officially left behind and told to take our ball and go home.

I think a merger is what has to happen, and I hope a darkhorse like Hulu or somebody throws out a package that helps get us all to $50-$60 million per team min to start
24 team conference from Seattle wrapping around the whole SW and Texas makes a lot of sense! UCF and Cincy and WV make no sense

Most likely yes-but I still would rather take the best TV deal we can, recommit to winning on the football field, and hope its enough to get into a super conference when we get closer to the ACC GoR. I firmly believe that that winds up being with the Big 12.
Frankly, I see staying in the Pac 10 (with the same group of presidents who enabled Larry Scott's incompetence the entire time we've been in this league-like Michael Crow at ASU) as being content with losing. If that's what CU wants to be, that's fine. I'll take my entertainment time and money and go spend both on something a lot more worthwhile. Done wasting my time on an athletic department that will show me they don't give a **** by staying in this conference.
I’m all in on the Mandel Merger idea. Full Pac 10, full Big 12, add SDSU and UNLV or Boise to make 24. Do the 6 team pods for scheduling purposes.
I’m also at a point where it’s more about being part of something new, exciting and innovative than wanting to squeeze every last $$ out of the media deals.

Yeah i think it would be the strongest possible landiing at this point and the flex schedules and playoffs would be cool. and although being in a pod with byu would suck, at least it isn’t Bailer. I would definitely watch more out of area games if they are impacting our pod. who knows if this has any legs at all beyond the mind of a reporter but it is a really good idea. And, when the next tv shuffle happens, we are in a league that is going to have some seat at the table — probably.I’m all in on the Mandel Merger idea.
