2024 B1G Thread: Conference of Champions

Yes

 

Hill just entered the portal, after starting 9 games in 2023. Looks like it’s Cade McNamara.

 

It was always gonna be McNamara until he gets injured. Hill entering the portal just means they finally decided to move on from him.

 

#Michigan State Spartans seems like a lot of portal activity, in and out.

You’re our first road trip in 2024. What’s the general assessment of the roster moves?

 

Getting rid of players that didn’t get their name called in the spring game.

 

not sure if you’ve heard or not, but we got a new coaching staff

roster turnover was/is expected

most of them prob suck both coming in and going out

 

This John Smith should work out better than the last one.

 

they can all go fuck themselves. Every single player that left was a lazy fat fuck.

 

Idk if he is just a good recruiter/identifier of talent at TE or he is just a top tier TE coach, but the talent he has had to work with at that position is pretty unprecedented.

Fucking one of the worst OCs ever but seemingly an elite TE coach.

 

your part of the world is only capable of producing OL and TEs

Would also really like a Luke Lachey, that and Winfield Jr really bug me. Legacy offers are whatever but those are 2 of our bigger names and passed them over for a bunch of shit

 

They talk about Lachey being the best prospect we have had. May not turn into the best pro, but he is a potential 1st rounder next year.

 

You’ve had plenty of plays like that against Iowa the last few years.

 

ATTN herb.burdette

 

This should solve that whole "night game" problem or "Thursday game" problem or whatever the hell problem it was.

 

Sounds like a trap to catch Ohioans with warrants out for their arrest.

 

they do that in Myrtle beach with free air brushed t shirts

 

I saw PSU’s were -4 at USC, -6.5 at Wisconsin, and +3 home against OSU

 

bullshit, no way the team of the century isn’t favored to win in Eugene

 

You should call Vegas and tell them to fix it

 

We don’t speak to the manager here, that’s a you thing

 

Ive always said the bitcoin buckeye bubble is about to bust!

 

You guys are talking about spreads and here we are worrying about over/under.

 

We should be getting kick times leaking out over the next few days.

 

I'm curious what the format is. I know what it was under the last contract but hopefully we'll get better games in non big noon slots.

 

With the newcomers there is going to be more coveted games in total so it would make sense more find their way to NBC / CBS. I have read FOX has the first 3 weeks of first selection and then CBS / NBC gets a chance but I have no clue if that’s accurate. I’m guessing our west coast friends get alot of NBC night games in November. There are some games you can pencil in… OSU / Michigan - Fox at noon, Texas / Michigan - Fox at noon (almost assuredly a top selection), USC / ND - NBC at night (probably their first selection overall)

 

OSU PSU 330 on CBS would be pretty cool

 

From what I understand of it, the networks draft “weeks” where they get the chance to select their game and time slot first in that particular week. Previously Fox had first selection every week. Now there is some sort of order and NBC / CBS get some weeks where they select their game first. The reason some game times get released early is because that network just makes their game selection way ahead of time and releases it but most times the network will wait until their selection window in season to officially select their game, especially if there are multiple games in a particular week which could be good/attractive when viewing it preseason.

 

Week 1 - Nothing really
Week 2 - Buffs / Nebraska, Texas / Michigan, Iowa State / Iowa
Week 3 - Bama / Wisky, ND / Purdue
Week 4 - USC / Michigan
Week 5 - Oregon / UCLA, Wisconsin / USC, OSU / MSU
Week 6 - Iowa / OSU, Michigan / Washington, MSU / Oregon, UCLA / PSU
Week 7 - Washington / Iowa, OSU / Oregon, PSU / USC
Week 8 - nothing really major at this point
Week 9 - MSU / Michigan, Nebraska / OSU, PSU/Wisconsin
Week 10 - Wisky / Iowa, Oregon / Michigan, OSU / PSU
Week 11 - Washington / PSU
Week 12 - Nebraska / USC, Oregon / Wisconsin
Week 13 - Wisconsin / Nebraska, USC / UCLA
Week 14 - Nebraska / Iowa, Michigan / OSU, Washington / Oregon, ND / USC

just picked out the top TV draw games for B1G home teams of each week from today’s lense.

 

Is LSU-USC B1G property? It's a one-off in Vegas so I figured ESPN likely was involved.

 

Yeah it could be. I didn’t see any network attached to it on quick look and USC was listed as a home game. I have no clue what the deal is there.

 

Mattsarz has it listed as a 7:30 PM kick on ABC. It's the Sunday primetime game apparently.

 

We have been hearing internally #UCLA Bruins will be the white out Daniel Ocean

 

That is a tough environment.

 

Haven’t paid that much attention to the schedule, but the local Portland guy spent last week trying to scare Oregon fans into endless Friday night kicks on peacock. Hopefully he’s as right on that as he was with the Pac 12 saving itself.

 

You’ll have a game or 2 on peacock because everyone does and probably a game on Friday night but the plan for those Friday night games is Fox proper I believe this year and they want it to be a more premier game. I figured it would be alot of b12 games.

 

Correct.

 

Considering Oregon is expected to be the second best team I doubt they will be on Peacock or Friday night any more than UM, OSU, or PSU will be.

UCLA is probably in most danger of getting unfavorable kick times this year at least.

 

fixed week 1.
