Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

Not my favorite artist, but my list of greatest album of all time starts and ends with Billy Joel's the Stranger.

It had 4 top 40 hits (Only the Good Die Young, She's Always a Woman, Movin' Out, Just the Way You Are), and that doesn't include three of the best songs on the record, Vienna, Scenes from an Italian Restaurant, and its title track, the Stranger, all of which are in the pantheon of songs loved by Billy Joel's fans (not the gospel truth, but example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4). It has two forgettable songs (Get it Right the First Time, and Everybody Has a Dream). So seven of nine tracks are winners, and arguably more than half are in the top 15 fan favorites of songs he ever wrote. I can't think of another record that has that hit rate.

Throw some at me...

Probably my favorite album of all time... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_(Pearl_Jam_album)

Obviously there are some major hits on there, with Once, Even Flow, Alive, and Jeremy. Most of which are still getting played on contemporary rock/alternative radio today (Jeremy probably the only one commonly avoided due to subject matter), despite the album being over 30 years old. 

But it's one of those albums you can just pop in and press play, listen start to finish, and there's not a miss anywhere on it. 

utee says Texas doesn't come close to Oregon

Not exactly.  More like, when it comes to direct competition over a recruit that Oregon wants, nobody can outspend them.  Doesn't always mean they'll get their guy, not every recruit is solely swayed by NIL, but if it's strictly an NIL-based recruitment, then nobody's going to beat them.

Regardless, Oregon is clearly missing from that list, for whatever reason.

Georgia football LB Jalon Walker is the 2024 Butkus Award winner

I guess "they" vote on such things, like the Heisman?  I'm not sure I would know how to vote, I wonder how much effort the voters really attach to their decision for individual awards.

Lots of people watched Georgia lose twice, too.

And just about nobody watched Nebraska lose 6 times.

collective funding = NIL??
or conference revenue?

OK, a bit surprised Iowa is on the list
