Thursday night might be optimal. The only regular-season NFL games that beat the CFP Championship in the ratings in 2024 were Thursday games not on Amazon. Thursday also has the advantage of a mid-week media build-up. Bloggers, talk radio, and ESPN would all give the CFP much more attention...

And today it looks on Google like the cheapest tickets this year were $50. NJ.com, covering Rutgers, reported a low of $67 on Vivid Seats (possibly locally higher due to a state law regarding fee disclosure?). These prices are from articles written soon after the match-up was announced...

I'm pretty sure the cheap get-in is a thing of the past at most bowls now. There's more money to be made by sacrificing turnstile count. The sports industry in general has been moving in this direction for a while. It's why they will never add that upper deck on the Bank. Bowls are ideal for...

Full credit is also due to the OP nitramnaed who dropped the first NUTS! later in the chat. Also worth noting that Nuts Jackson was born at the low point of the 2022 season. The Gophers were looking at their 4th loss in 5 games down 10-0 in the second half to the Huskers in Lincoln. With Nuts...

The kids call it "pulling a Cooper"

Viotto threw fewer passes for EMU this year than... Terry Lockett Jr, the one-time Gopher-snubbing WR from Minnehaha Academy who portaled over from the Spartans Jeremiah Salem, Joe's grandson (and Tim's nephew), a walk-on Mitch Tomasek, the punter

Posters say the system needs to be objective. I know, let's come up with a system that values wins over good opponents. We can spell everything out before the season starts so everybody knows the criteria. The exact same rules apply to everybody. We'll consider each team's strength of...

NUTS

This is the rare occasion in LA where the train is the best option. You can board the E right by the Coliseum (closer than an Uber can get because they close the streets), transfer to the A downtown and you're on your way to Pasadena. The trains run every 10 minutes and are plenty safe on game...

College Sports Tomorrow is a private equity play, so I imagine they'd do it by bringing on investors and throwing money around. Maybe a divide-and-conquer strategy where tOSU, Michigan, Penn State, and their SEC analogues are offered considerably more than now while the rank-and-file from those...

Found this unsourced on reddit. I haven't verified if this is CST's actual proposal or just speculation. The quadrangle of hate is reborn, plus Iowa State, which is great...but it looks like they tried to spread out the superpowers, so tOSU is grafted on. Not so great! Notre Dame gets a...

If you really love this new version of Big Ten football, Penn State at USC kicks off at 12:30 local time in the Coliseum, so there's plenty of time for the SoCal 2-fer.

No, they have that wrong. The 1978 game was in the Coliseum. The Bruins didn't play their home games in Pasadena until 1982. Side note: the Vikings played in the Rose Bowl when they lost to the Raiders in Super Bowl XI on January 9, 1977.

He did do a good job of keeping his hands low when waving those off, which can matter sometimes.

Regarding the last shot in that video: It's never a good idea to show somebody squatting in the woods.
