GO BRUINS!

Nice adds but not sure about Woodson. This year should be the tell tale.

Will be funny seeing Kobe Johnson ride the bench all season. The grass ain’t greener and competition in Westwood is fierce.

Bruins are on the rise 🐻

UCLA!

GO BRUINS!

I remember how successful - PS was as an independent prior to 92 - and - how their fans voiced the confident domination of the Big 10 ! -- Paterno was very good and their fans were optimistic and nearly delusional - in hindsight. (?) > They won 2 Conference Championships in 20 years under "JoePa" and 1 with Franklin in 10 years ? - - - Oregon Washington USC & UCLA - all at once - is a different animal. - - - Lanning does 'appear' to be building something special - but - let's not forget the 2 loses in a row to W last season ? -- He's young and will evolve over time.

❤ let’s go Bruins !!!! ❤

UCLA Alumni Club Manila here!

Eight clap!

Row the Boat, SKI-U-MAH, Go Gophers! Great discussion and analysis of the disappointing 2023 season. Athan Kaliakmanis was a huge disappointment last year but I hadn't considered that Fleck may have pushed him into the transfer portal. If that was the case, good for him...

The Big 10 and the SEC may have mutual interest in developing NIL guidelines or some structure and use their combined clout in controlling the NCAA. They will work for mutual interest.

You guys are idiots for suggesting academics has anything to do with college football

IU fan here

that second lose to purdue i thought our coach would be fired

we was trash all around from the bench to free throws and being physical on offense and defense

I'm not there either. Floor spacing may very well be an issue. If Ballo and Reneau share the floor for 25 minutes a game this team will continue to have issues shooting. Great show! Glad to have found this channel.

This Indiana is looking forward to when Mike Woodson is gone. I personally don't care for him. Hope he goes away soon.

if you're into hiring mercenaries.... just hope they're worth the pay... you can no longer say they're here to wear the jersey because of the lettering on it...

Pretty hiarious to see the Illinois fan bring up IU's NIL a half dozen times or so. How does he think that Illinois got their 2023 portal class?????

Been watching IU since I was 5 years old and I'm 63

Why would you force Notre Dame to join a conference? Everybody seems to be doing fine with them as an independent. I didn't hear any reason put forward for ND being in a conference.

The only advantage to the Big 10 having a team in Florida has to do with television markets and associated revenues. But their talking as if there is some border when it comes to recruiting. SEC and Big 10 programs already recruit HS players from one another's territories constantly.

I am a lifelong Hoosier!! Mike Woodsons coaching record is under whelming!! I left his side when he ran off Fife and Matta!!

Theres more to staying than just money, Sunny. Dont be a hater

Hoosiers over Everybody!! Hoo Hoo Hoo HOOSIERS!

Oumar Ballo is going to allow us to take more threes, because of his Offensive Rebounding. Immediately takes our offensive efficiency up! I hope that woodson looks at it that way :)

Oregon fan here. 50 years, all of it in the PAC. I love Spencer but disagree with him on this one. I, like others, are excited to be part of the BIG. I really look forward to visiting some of the BIG's hallowed stadiums and meeting their fans.

Great show, guys! Mike Woodson has quite the squad!

FSU is a B1G school in waiting, the last time I looked #15 in public universities. They will be #19. The Plus 1 will probably be Miami. Notre Dame is an AAU school.

b1g doesn't mean anything any more than BXII does.

Wow, and a non walk on quarterback leading the team, would be nice.

Any Seminole that thinks the big 10 is the best option is ridiculous...the collective athletic departments would suffer greatly . Fsus recruiting grounds don't fit ...baseball would be permanently mediocre...the best players are going to play the best teams regionally...not frozen fields I'm the north. In football nobody is going to watch or travel to noon games against minnesota, rutgers, Purdue, indiana, illinois, Wisconsin, northwestern, iowa, maryland, Michigan st. Nobody wants to go to los Angeles or Newark or any of these places on purpose. The best players in the south aren't going to do it either...nobody is going to watch a 10 o'clock night game against ucla...it makes no sense athletically

ESPN & Disney Are not gonna extend their contract with the ACC after 2026-2027 . Only 5 teams will be picked up by the Big 3 Conferences. Miami, FSU, North Carolina, Louisville, & Clemson. TV Viewership for all other teams aren’t worth paying, so ESPN will kill the ACC.

Thanks for doing this, great show guys.

Why does ND need to join a conference? The new 14-team playoff allows them to have a bye if they’re ranked high enough. With the ever-expanding playoffs, the regular season becomes more and more meaningless. Which means teams will gladly schedule ND because it’s a big matchup and the consequence of losing isn’t really a factor anymore

All of the Bigten schools are in the AAU except Nebraska. This Sonny guest is 0-2 in facts. I expected better from Mark Rogers

Notre Dame is AAU

Rutgers is dead last in Big Ten. They would be dead last in Conference USA.

The last school to get into The B1G isn't Clemson...it's Wake Forest. THAT's a NO Brainer!! AND a NON-starter!!

The drop off is after VA Tech....VA Tech is a slightly larger brand with viewership numbers than UNC. VA Tech would consolidate B1G dominance in the Virginia Commonwealth more than UVA. But UVA would probably tag along with VA Tech.

If I were the ACC …all members excluding FSU and Clemson…ought to demand an answer from Notre Dame and North Carolina… If offered a spot in the Big 10 or SEC…are you leaving soon or in the nearby future? We need you to answer NOW…so we can plan the future of our own institutions and what is left of the ACC! Time is of the essence and opportunities for the future will be impacted by your decision…or druthers!! Why not…an answer of ‘don’t know’ means they would consider it ..leaving you with lame ducks …who can be bought…and leave you high and dry! Remember the ..Neb/Mo…..AM/Ark….UT/OU….USC/UCLA….Ore./ Wash examples ..duh !! …….FSU/Clemson….has said their position……ND/NC is to follow??!!! Get real!!!

I think the powers to be of the SEC/B10…need to come out publicly with who they are going after and made offers. Those schools offered deals..need to disclose to their existing membership…out of courtesy and fair play…allowing them to look at their options in a free market environment. Then ESPN/Networks and each school needs to negotiate a reasonable buyout, not to be unduly withheld. Administrators and Managers are caught in between and have an impossible position to deal with….pandering to the haves and/or have nots..with the threat of losing their jobs…either way! Eliminating the guess work, excessively hard feelings, and legal action and penalties….that could be reversed with Supreme Court, Legislative , or State govt. interventions. You got to quit the insanity and different approaches of dealing with the Fair Labor Relations Board, NIL, and the inexplicable transfer rules. The spiraling cost of doing business is going to lead to an untenable solution if they don’t tread lightly! I think everyone knows that $10 million coaches and $3 million freshmen recruits is insanity ! Just cause you have the most money and power and support…you can’t negotiate unfairly without Anti-Trust ramifications and your Non-profit identities being put at high risk! Just wait till there is a National Union of all Coaches and Players and Support personnel …that doesn’t recognize your Conference being treated any differently and paying exorbitant salaries for doing the same job….Beware the Ides of March!

FSU is the only team everyone hates….and only a couple will even take them…..but just like Texas…great program…mediocre results! Clemson and OU dominated these teams..with less money and less notoriety ! If you can’t consistently win in the ACC/B12…how do you think it will get any better with just more money? What buys you happiness….all it will afford you ….is greater expectations and bigger disappointments!

Just to be clear, there are SOME connections between FSU and the B1G Conference. It may not be athletics, BUT the FSU Marching Chiefs were basically built by former Ohio State University professor Manley Whitcomb. In fact, the Marching Chiefs use the high step marching (called the Chief-step at FSU) that is prominently featured in most B1G marching bands. Most college marching bands in the south use glide step marching techniques. Manley Whitcomb was also instrumental in getting Charlie Carter to come with him to FSU as a personal composer for the Marching Chiefs. It is the brilliant writing of Charlie Carter that gave the Marching Chiefs their unique sound. In fact, the OSU Marching Band is seen as the grandfather of the Marching Chiefs and most in the Marching Chiefs still view OSU as our grandfather in terms of marching bands.

At what point do ESPN or Fox tell these two conferences to drop the dead weight. Both big 10 and SEC have them. Some of the these mid tier teams have more value than some of the teams in these conferences.

Notre Dame is AAU
