| 14 weeks 4 days ago | I don't know if a B1G championship is in the cards |
But I, for one, am looking forward to a 1st day bye in the conference tourney for once--hopefully that 3-seed. We'll need to make it to Saturday to cement a 4-5 seed I think. |
| 15 weeks 1 day ago | I attended a similar event... |
Except it was at Conor O'Neill's on Main--and I got to see Tara Reid brush elbows with me as she walked by post implants (when she was dating Sergei--for some reason he was there, I think it was for a charity event at Yost). Later in the night, I had the pleasure of using the urinal right next to Kid Rock. I'll just say he was holding a beer in one hand, and standing a good foot or more away... |

| 24 weeks 6 days ago | Some issues and my thoughts |
1) Timing--these are student athletes who have to take finals (so have to be careful going deep into December); going deep into January infringes on NFL playoff turf. 2) How do conference championships play a role? Even if you have a 11 game season--you could end up playing a 15 game schedule (conf championship plus quarters, semis, finals under 8 team playoff). This cannot happen. I'd keep the BCS formula and bowl system generally. I'd implement a 4 team playoff (basically like the +1), and you'd have to be a conference champion to be eligible (we'd take the top 4 ranked champs) OR be top 4 in BCS and 4 champs aren't in top 10 (to exclude weak conf champs). One semi is played in the Rose, the other in the Sugar on NYD. The final played one week later on a rotating site like the Super Bowl (could be any site, like Cowboy Stadium, Miami, LA's new NFL stadium, or one of the standard sites like Tempe). Fiesta and Orange still get to have their bowls, and the Citrus and Cotton Bowl joins them as the new 4 bowl BCS, and are free to pick based on lottery in alternating fashion (remaining big conf champs must be picked) This year would produce: 1) Rose: Oklahoma St. v. Oregon 2) Sugar: LSU v. Va Tech In the new BCS, you'd have to pick from Bama, Stanford, Wisconsin, Michigan, Houston, Boise, etc. for awesome marquee matchups. |
| 36 weeks 6 days ago | Single ND ticket, Sec. 2, Row 47 |
FANTASTIC viewpoint (around 35-40 yard line on ND side)--I posted in another thread as well (can't open the spreadsheet?). Taking best cash offer to meet me in AA tomorrow night or Saturday. Have an early offer for $200, will probably take at least $250 to get. |
| 36 weeks 6 days ago | I have a single ticket to sell |
Going to get a student ticket to sit with a friend instead. Sec 2, Row 47 (ND Sideline, but around the 35-40 yd lines--can't beat the view). I've put up some CL ads but would be happy to sell to an MGoLurker instead. Seeking cash and best offer (I've had one for $200 already). I'm coming in from California so I'll be able to meet either late tomorrow night or Saturday anytime morning/afternoon. |
| 45 weeks 1 day ago | I actually just worked on one of the recent Netflix deals |
I can tell you that some of what's been said is absolutely accurate. Netflix is getting murdered by the studios right now on the one side (which means higher licensing fees) and also getting pressure from the broadband side (like Comcast who is also a content provider, threatening to limit bandwidth or slow down speeds when Netflix is used). You see a lot of changes going on right now with windows for both theatrical and video on demand, and the content providers (whether studio, tv network, etc.) want more of the pie. Couple all that with the fact that everything is moving toward streaming, and you have a breakdown of their model. While they realize this and have moved incrementally towards streaming, their ability to secure premium content is become more difficult by the day. At the very least, they cannot get such content on exclusive terms (to prevent Google-Youtube, or Amazon, or anyone else from also buying such content), or with premium windows when people most want them. HBO Go is actually the wave of the future--you're going to see individual networks and studios controlling their content more and more and streaming it directly, and companies like Netflix will be left to get the last bite of the apple, if there's any apple left. |
