Official: USC/UCLA Joining B1G in 2024

Perhaps he should give the tickets to the Douglas County, Kansas District Attorney. Anyone convicted of a 1st time misdemeanor is sentenced to attend and watch a KU football game.
I agree. IMO Lincoln Riley is going to build a monster at USC. His Oklahoma teams would have done quite well in the B1G. The offensive and defensive systems he ran and the talent he had, his Sooner teams would have been one of the 2 best teams in the B1G every year. And now he'll be able to get even better players and tweak his roster to the conference. He's already recruiting four and five-star guys at the skill positions.
The biggest indicator for how fast he gains on teams like Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan for shared supremacy in the conference will be how formidable his offensive and defensive lines are. And how quickly they get there.
He had some really good offensive lines in Norman, so it's not a foreign concept to him. He should take a page from Ohio State's blueprint. The Buckeyes have an explosive offense that does a lot of damage through the air, just like the Trojans will have. They have five-star talent at QB and (multiple) WRs. USC will have the same thing. What Ohio State also has is one of the best o-lines in the conference every year. I think Riley will make sure the Trojans do too.
Yeah it'll be interesting to see what Mike Elko does as a first-time head coach. I think he's put a pretty good staff together. I like Trooper Taylor a LOT. That was a great hire for his RB spot. Robb Smith (DC), Jess Simpson (DL), Adam Cushing (OL) and Lyle Hemphill (Safeties) in particular were good hires IMPO.
Nothing in the world is worse than Mississippi State fans and their cowbells. My brother lived in Memphis for a while and several years back we went to watch the Vols play in Starkville. We couldn't last the whole game. It was freaking incessant. Worst sporting event experience of my life.
I think Clemson, Miami and Florida State would prefer the SEC. If given the option, IMPO, they'll pick them over the B1G.
I'm just waiting to see which conference crosses the Mason-Dixon Line first.
Maryland. A Union state, but a slave state south of the line. Few now think of Maryland as being part of the slave-holding south because they didn't secede, but...

Freakin pompous asses.
"Every conference wants us"
Give me a break. I'd love to listen to their thoughts on joining the SEC lol
I personally have never been around a fan base more arrogant than Notre Dame fans. It's what would happen if you gave Harvard students a top 15 FBS football team and put them on national TV each Saturday.
This is true. I drove across the Mason-Dixon line hundreds of times when I lived outside of Philly.
Maryland was technically a part of the Union, as you say. Which has me wondering, is every SEC school from a Confederate state and every Big Ten school Union? I think so. Granted, Nebraska wasn't yet a state... but had enough Union presence.
Anyhow, if those end up being the two conference super powers (seems likely), just interesting to see how they build from here.
Ah man, you quoted me before I fixed my spelling error.
I knew what you meant.
BTW, I probably edit 25-30% of my posts. The longer ones, in particular. I end up having written so damn much that it's automatic tl;dr ... but then I read it after posting and can't resist the urge.
Geographically is bad, competition wise ...... maybe, telecast is good.
I still can't believe it.
I still can't believe it.
What about Baylor.... good football and basketball. Waco is not too far from Dallas/Ft. Worth area? I would say their sports programs are superior to TCU.
