Not sure you realize the spike in construction costs we had with the great inflation of 2020.

prices of construction materials are up almost 60% from 2014.

That means a $266M stadium now costs roughly $425M.

Commodities will go higher and higher. Look at today's price of Gold. 

I was told there would be realignment rumors and tweets here. 

Good. We don't need to settle for the first thing that comes along. 

How the HELL did we let another team wear green jersey's on our home field???

It is still my hope that OSU and WSU keep the Pac alive  and then add Boise State, Air Force, San Diego State, Fresno State, USF, Army, Navy, Tulane, Memphis, and ECU.

 

South Florida which is not in South Florida will be in the Pacific AC, and couldn't be further away from the Pacific. Great. 

The St. Pete Lies strikes again.

USF is typically tight lipped about this stuff. We got into the Big East right out of the blue. 

The Big 10 took Rutgers. They can take us and we can actually deliver interesting games.

Miami doesn't really fit the mold of a SEC or B1G school.  Miami is a private university with a small enrollment. In addition, they haven't exactly been lighting it up in quite a while. I believe USF has more appeal long term that Miami. Especially if we get AAU status.

The bolded part is completely delusional, sorry.

You pay for the athletic?

Its a quality production. Good, old fashioned sports news stories. I don't like paying for stuff but it's worth it, IMHO.

We have a Linebacker whose name is Amer Amer . . . and a Wide receiver with name of Ajou Ajou.

They are very likely informally termed tautonyms or linguistically called reduplicants.

 

Say, Say.

I got the entire section chanting "Mangiiiiiiiiinooooo" throughout the game. 

DeSantis Announces Ban on Big 12 Games Unless USF is Admitted

The line went from -6 to -9.5. Guess Vegas doesn't think Timmy is playing.

Odds this thread postcount goes past the Conference Realignment  "Rumors" "tweets" "etc" thread...?

ESPN has now made The SEC such a nice package, that Amazon is ready to swoop in and grab the rights.

I have terrible knees. Never had had a problem. This works your quads, calves and hamstrings when you push and pull so it can only strengthen your knee joint. Its a pretty stable motion, no twisting or turning or whatever. 

The machine itself is just a rower. There is a digital display that does all sorts of recordings. You can play games on it, races, some fishing games, but I just row. I hook it up to a Polar heart monitor which shows up onscreen and keep my HR between 150 and 155. That way I don't burn out or put too little effort in. The resistance is adjustable. It is a full body workout, all cardio.

There is no tv on it. I just youtube some scenery (there's a lotta stuff available) and stream it to my tv, and put some jams on my speakers. 

Attached is the readout. You can see as you work out or get a summary at the end. Can even upload data to your phone.

I have a Concept2 Model D (I was a collegiate rower) - do about 3-4 pulls a week

Yeah I have the Concept 2 as well. I put some Scandinavian scenic rowing videos on and pump out some Doom Metal on my mains and ITS ON.

Also been biking everywhere and we have some serious hills here. 

But as fervent sports fans, I think we should officially play this off as, "Well, we would have kicked Texas's ass but..." 

Kettlebells. Lots of Kettlebells.

Also got a rowing Erg.

@Bullschmutz, you messing with the wrong guy....   

 

That has to count as 31.5 downvotes. 

College football has 105 active players on a team. We already have to do number substitutions in game. I clearly remember us getting a penalty for a number infraction, two people with the same number on the field in the same play. Let's not shoot ourselves in the foot here. 

I am up early on the west coast

Ouch! Turn them off!
