@trojanfan12 smoked duck pastrami?

Holy shit, I need that like I need air to breathe.

It's going to be interesting to see what UCLA does. Through their history they have been a mid-levelish team in the PAC for football choosing to focus more on basketball.

The move to the B1G is going to put more money in their coffers than they've ever had before. Will they dump a bunch of money into football and try to turn themselves into a football power? Or will they choose to use it bolster basketball since Cronin has them back to being a top program again?

Yes sir.

We could be like Rutgers....SMH.

Yes sir.

With Chip as coach, I would expect that they will commit more to football than they typically do, so they won't be Rutgers. But Cronin has them close to being in with Duke, UNC and Kansas at the top of cbb every year...so they may choose to really lean into that.

I know USC will spend a sizeable chunk on football and I expect basketball as well since Enfield has got them making the tourney. But I'm hoping they'll use some to build the baseball program back up. They used to have one of the best baseball programs in the country, but I don't think they've even made the baseball playoffs in about 10 years.

I can't imagine USC not putting more money into football. The first step was prying Riley from OU. The commitment is there and it shows.

Oh, I have no doubt that football will get the biggest slice of the pie...I'm just hoping enough is spent on basketball and baseball to build those programs up.

Talk about bad timing. How bout dem Cowboys?

The Dallas Cowboys drew criticism after announcing a new corporate partnership with a firearm-themed coffee company less than 24 hours after are a series of gun violence incidents.

Cowherd was in the middle of a rant about there being 8 possible landing spots for Baker when Ian Rappaport anounced that Baker has been traded to Carolina.

yep...heard they split the financials. wonder if this means the Browns were told a shorter suspension is coming?

I forget who he cited, but Cowherd said that he's hearing that it doesn't look like Watson will be getting a long suspension.

Seems to be the way it's looking but who the hell knows?
