B1G Ramblings

I've accused this account before.....and the rebuttal was not a pure denial. Welcome Greg.

Greg, we should be in the B1G if they go to 22. Get a school in TX, one in NC, one in FL and UConn to seal the door on the northeast. But until we are part of the evil empire, it will remain the evil empire...the empire with no basketball skills.

We are standing by. Lets go.

Hey Exit 4, Exit 9 here. Haven't looked at Conf Realignment in about a month(too much FB and BB stuff going on), and I see this. What the heck, who cares about the B1G? Unless they are inviting us, "dead to me"

You kinda need to keep an eye on both the Big Ten in the SEC since they pretty much have control over college athletics at this point.

The short answer is nothing is going on but an yarder with a strange viral marketing campaign.

Now I'll get accused of being a Rutgers fan again! lol

More likely convicted

Lol great comment, especially the part about "no basketball skills".

I know being in the B1G would be great for UConn, but I honestly have little interest in watching the Huskies play men's bb games in that conference.

Shoddily-reffed slogs orchestrated by buzzcut coaches with 1950's-era offensive mentalities. No thank you, give me the Big East or Big 12 instead please.

The even funnier part is the idea that Rufus/Flugar has one whit of influence over this. All he seems to have is some kind of friendship with an actual insider--who himself probably has no influence--and who doesn't seem to mind the parasitical Flugar pumping him for information to feed his podcast.

Oregon has won it's first B1G Championship - Women's Cross Country. Washington finished second. So much for the long flight harming performance theory.

Nice catch. So the Oregon Women’s CC team participated in 3 fall Friday events before the Big 10 Championship - and 2 of them were within 5 miles of the campus. They then had 3 weeks before the finals, which were in the Central time zone. That’s certainly a meaningful data point when evaluating the impact on teams that play far more games across all days of the week and have to traverse all four time zones.

Then look at Women's Soccer. USC won the B1G regular season and UCLA finished #2. Lots of road games across the country in the middle of the week.

 

[Bobol]

In a perfect world UConn would be in the B10.

It would be my first preference as a destination for the Huskies because the B10 is the top athletic conference in the U.S.; better than the ACC, B12 and SEC in terms of athletics and academics.

Let's be real. The cross country event takes 20 minutes. I'm not sure any amount of travel is going to affect someone's performance in such a short event.

Women's Soccer. USC and UCLA were the highest ranked teams in the B1G. Travel? Who knows.

So a team crossed the country and won a sport that is literally named cross country and you’re using that as a data point?

Maybe shouldn't have picked a handle that starts with RU?

I feel this was a question Lorien should have asked Captain Sheridan in Babylon 5...

That series had an awful ending

I was okay with it since it seemed to be in keeping with JMS's outline for the series. I wish the spin-off show, Crusade, stuck around longer. Sadly, so many of the main roles have died in real life.

That series had an awful ending

I remember reading that the producer thought he wasn't going to get extra year so he wrapped it up the year before and then basically filled for the last season.

Oregon has been doing all it can to create heat going back to media days when they had the giant inflatable duck on the Chicago River and the Duck trying to break into each of the stadiums.

You don't know much about endurance sports do you?

I thought I knew enough. I didn't think flying at altitude for a few hours had any effect on running performance. Certainly doesn't seem to affect the Kenyans and Ethiopians.

The 2023 PAC 12 championships resulted in Washington, Stanford, Colorado, and Oregon so seeing Washington and Oregon win the Big 10 isn't a surprise. Even with the dreaded flight situation.
