College football has ruined the Big East and now the Big 12. It's DTM! - Krusty Jun 30, 16:47 4
- The Big 12 part is still rumor, but Texas ruined the Big 12. -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 16:47 3
  - Because of football. This is always about football. - Krusty Jun 30, 16:51 2
    - Its speculative at best the Big 12 seems to survive these things -- nm - eag Jun 30, 17:02 1

I'm in the middle of the Atlantic! In flight internet still amazes me. -- nm - icolin Jun 30, 16:44 4
- It's funny how fast we become accustomed to technological advances. - ty97 Jun 30, 16:50 1
  - Wireless charging is still cool to me! But I do wish it were faster. I was on an epic parks and rec bender... Can't do that in flight. - icolin Jun 30, 17:02
- That's kind of cool. You're so high up in the sky, we are like little ants running around here. -- nm - Loyola Jun 30, 16:48 1
  - Best is flying over ice caps in winter... I got to see glaciers, snow miles deep... It looks like another planet. -- nm - icolin Jun 30, 16:59
dammit, Morgan, part II -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 16:43

- To be clear, last week was Gay Pride Weekend, SCOTUS decision or no? Wow... timing. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 17:01
I saw an ad on tv there for drscholl insoles. I don't have feet problems but damn, now I want gel insoles. -- nm - Loyola Jun 30, 16:39

- Killing me. - Krusty Jun 30, 16:42
Owwwwww -- nm - JD Jun 30, 16:29
Isn't the KKK rally to support the confederate flag counter-productive? It does nothing but show the flag to be symbol of white supremecy and racism. -- nm - GregW Jun 30, 16:25 9
- When I saw the headline about that rally, I wondered if it could have been planted by anti-flag folks to help public opinion. - ty97 Jun 30, 16:34 5
  - a false flag conspiracy? the only people paranoid about that are the right wingers -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 30, 16:39 4
    - There are definitely left wing conspiracy theorists. - ty97 Jun 30, 16:41 3
      - *cough*vaccinesandgmos*cough* -- nm - TWuG Jun 30, 17:09
      - I'm sure the KKK are ...uh...color blind to the situation that their presence with the confed flag makes the opposition's case -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 30, 16:44 1
        
        Certainly, this is the far most likely -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 16:46
- SHHHH! -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:29 1
  - you know, you might just be on to something there -- nm - ML Jun 30, 16:31

Mop, what happened with Citi? -- nm - David Jun 30, 16:13 7
- I've been booking hotels and airfares. No biggie. The card just needed a time out. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:14 6
  - So, they realized you were racking up points but they weren't getting interest money? -- nm - David Jun 30, 16:20 5
    - I would guess they were making sure the charges were legit. - b. Jun 30, 16:35 4
      - Yup, we had this happen when we returned from Florida in May. -- nm - David Jun 30, 16:43 1

      - If someone is spending outside their normal pattern / outside their income level (manufactured spending for rewards) card companies have been known -- (edited) - ty97 Jun 30, 16:36 1

- record that, throw it on YT and make millions. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 30, 16:01 1
  - It's on Facebook now. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 16:02
ick. even the image on the hsx page for "when animals dream" is disturbing. -- nm - b. Jun 30, 15:54
Big college football news -- (link) - ML Jun 30, 15:52 40
- Texas A&M's success in the SEC prolly accelerated this -- nm - budice Jun 30, 17:15

  - all KU home games have been moved to Boulder! - prayformojo Jun 30, 16:36 8

    - Fuck Boulder! -- nm - Krusty si Jun 30, 16:38 6
      - Yeah! -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:41 5
        
        :) - ty97 Jun 30, 16:42 4
        
        Very much so. Mel and Diva should move here. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:45 3
        
        Cosigned and stamped. - ty97 Jun 30, 16:47 2
        
        there are plenty of places that cater to the right side of this argument in NYC at this point. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 30, 17:07
        
        Ha! Nice! -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:47
  - If im the Big Ten im all over getting Kansas for Basketball -- nm - eag Jun 30, 16:35 1
    - This takes away rivalries. It won't be the same. It hasn't been since those traitors in Missouri left. -- nm - Krusty Jun 30, 16:52
- I'll believe it when I see it but "whoa if true" -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 16:00
- And they can get away from TCU and Baylor being relevant. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 15:59
- This should have happened a couple of years ago when the Big 12 collapsed. - Mop Jun 30, 15:58 6
  - I was surprised Texas found enough teams to hold the B12 together, even though it was left on life support. -- nm - GregW Jun 30, 15:59 5
    - It was because they were going to share some of there network money if im not mistaken -- nm - eag Jun 30, 16:02 4
      - Is it any wonder that the Pac-12 wants Texas? If the Big 12 Network folds up, Texas ratings go to the Pac-12 Network coffers. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:07
      - Yeah, they basically bribed a few schools to stick around. -- nm - GregW Jun 30, 16:03 2
        
        And it was also the big sticking point why Texas didn't join the PAC 10 a few years ago - eag Jun 30, 16:10
        
        The schools that don't get tv money are into the red on football. -- nm - tobor.2 Jun 30, 16:04
- I was hoping for the opposite, but this might not be too bad in the long run. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 15:56 16
  - I'm sure Nebraska will do fine in the Big East. -- nm - David Jun 30, 16:41
  - The idea of a Pac-20 melts my brain. Could be keep it to maybe just 16? -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 15:59 14
    - Bringing in Texas would make it the PAC-13 plus four affiliates. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:19 7
      - Id go TCU and BYU and SanDiego St or Boise St to bring it to 16 -- nm - eag Jun 30, 16:28 1
        
        I was focusing on the list of current, affiliate, and former members, but TCU would be a logical addition. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:34
      - Fresno? -- nm - Bacon Jun 30, 16:25 4
        
        Fresno would be high on the list. I went back, checked the Wikipedia, and apparently they are a former member of the PAC-12. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:31 3
        
        Did you guys see old Oregon Stadium got burned down the other day -- nm - eag Jun 30, 16:34 2
        
        Yeah .. that was really sad. I used to live across the field from that stadium. - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:37
        
        Meh. Civic Stadium in Eugene. An old baseball grand stand gets left abandoned and unattended for years. No one should be shocked it burned. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:36
    - Wasn't it the PAC 8 at some point? -- nm - tobor.2 Jun 30, 15:59 5
      - Self-shilling trivia: I played ice hockey in the Pac-8 - ReluctantCynic Jun 30, 16:16
      - I swear I remember the PAC 2. -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 16:01 1
        
        There was a time when many of the teams in the pac 8 or 10 were on probation of one type or other. - tobor.2 Jun 30, 16:03
      - Yup. -- nm - Mop Jun 30, 16:00 1
        
        Wow that's some pac inflation. -- nm - tobor.2 Jun 30, 16:01
- clarification: "news" = "informed speculation" -- nm - ML Jun 30, 15:55

        close enough! -- nm - b. Jun 30, 15:55 1
        
        that's what she lets me call her :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 30, 15:55
      - you're right, that's not 7. 4 is correct! -- nm - b. Jun 30, 15:50
