Oklahoma vs Nebraska
Texas vs Texas A&M
Penn State vs Pitt
Florida vs Miami
Kansas vs Missouri
Pitt vs West Virginia
BYU vs Utah
Of course, these games have nothing to do with Covid or rescheduling, they're games we've lost over the years from realignment.
Is there a realistic way to get these games back?
-
OU and Nebraska have two home-and-home series lined up.
-
Get them back annually? Nope. Get them back every so often? Sure.
I guess one could reallign conferences and get them back, seems unlikely to me, but I'm saying there is a chance.
-
Pitt and WVU have games scheduled for the near future. WVU also has games with Penn St and VT coming up. All those games make me happy.
-
If the Big Ten had to expand geographically VT/WVU certainly made sense.Specially since ND/Mizzou didn't come in for various reasons
-
EWU at Florida
-
Eastern Michigan at Georgia.
-
Eastern Washington?
Well then Wofford At Texas

annually, not very realistic
but, I'm not in charge, yet
-
Getting pointers from Dr Tom in the Athl.Dept. - not on the course
-
Dr. Tom is a fisherman, not a golfer
-
Texas and Texas A&M will eventually play again. It won't be annual, it'll be an occasional home-and-home, two games every 10-15 years I'd expect.

Git'r Done!

Our "marquee" non-con slot is filled through 2032 I think, so it would have to be after that.
-
you're really not giving the Aggies the respect of being Marquee???
-

Great minds think alike,just had some walleye last week end...and a Yuengling+1+1+1....
-
golfing certainly doesn't reap the same rewards as fishin
-

No, I am. I'm saying that the way we currently schedule, we've got one slot for a "marquee" non-con team, and 2 slots for other things. Usually one of those two extra slots is a warm-up creampuff, and the other is scheduled for regional recruiting purposes and/or appeasing local alumni (games in Houston or Dallas).
The ags fit in that first bracket, so they'd be scheduled as the "marquee" game and we're all full up on those through 2032 or something like that.

is your wife standing behind you? ;)

I think Missouri Illinois had some good games back in the day... always felt that should have been a bigger rivalry.
-

Ha! No, she works for a living.
The kids are constantly around though, thanks to the rona.

and Missouri/Iowa
and Missouri/Kansas
who doesn't hate Missouri?
-
I learned a lot about Mizzou's rival during my first connection in the St. Louis airport. KU/Mizzou stuff everywhere. I had no idea it was a whole big thing at all. Then you add in the real-life history and it's legit.

and the Horn's favorite

Yup that's a long-lost rivalry. We've played as a home-and-home a couple of times in the ensuing decades, which is about what I expect with the ags as well, eventually.

Correct Budweiser originated there
-
Beer has been brewed in Budweis (now České Budějovice, Czech Republic) since it was founded in 1245. In 1876, German-born Adolphus Busch and his friend Carl Conrad developed a "Bohemian-style" lager in the United States, inspired after a trip to Bohemia and produced it in their brewery in St. Louis, Missouri.
-
I'm talking creation of the saki they brew in St Lew,not the the Bohemian original.

The original pre-prohibition American pilsners were very reminiscent of their European counterparts. It's entirely possible that American Budweiser might have actually once been a beer that wasn't disgusting rice-krispy-flavored macro-swill.
-
I only like lagers and ales of the beer types.

Exactly i think it's Brooklyn Brewing Company Co states "return to pre-prohibition brewing" or sum such.Not real catchy but accurate.Watched the History of Brewing years ago and after WWII Miller,Bud,Schlitz,Pabst and the rest of them kept selling the thinned out,rationed suds they were selling during the War.Because when the GIs returned it was flying off the shelf.I remember Yuengling said they almost went out of business because they returned to putting all the grains called for - the heavier batches they were making yrs before which of course is more costly
-
Yeah, when I was up in Oregon last month I bought a 4-pack of "pre-prohibition lager" from some local brewery. Definitely not one of these heavily adjunct-laden macro lagers.
I understand why the macros use corn or rice to lighten the flavor--it sells well. But I don't brew that way.
-
The BY-Ute game has been back on the annual for some time now. It took only a two year hiatus when Utah joined the Pac 12; and they met in a Bowl Game one of those two years.
-
I don't think they were playing this year, looking at the original schedules.

Miss Mizzou wanted into the club in the worst way. She flashed all her pretty parts at you guys--what went wrong?
-
She's....homely.
-

The series will continue through 2021, after which a 2-year hiatus will take place. The series will then resume until at least 2028.

Harry Truman (of Missouri) didn't like his successor Dwight Eisenhower very much. One of the reasons was that Ike had been raised in Kansas.

compared to UNL

I personally don't miss these matchups. If they occur every so often, fine with me.
I'm more interested in unusual matchups where teams from across the country play a series.
-
that's just crazy talk

I'm known for crazy talk.
-
probably how they do it in Sweden
-
I missed my trip to Sweden this year, maybe next year.
-
I'm glad you didn't go....you might not have come back.

At the first sign of a Swedish winter, he'd be on a plane :57:
Winter would be the the biggest reason I wouldn't want to live in Sweden, though. It would actually be one of the easier countries to live in as an American expat--there are so many UK expats there that English is spoken basically everywhere.

I meant that he'd be dead from Covid.
-
I think Sweden had something like 542 deaths per million people, so my chances of being one of them during a one week trip would have been pretty low (about the same as in the US).. We also would be staying on an island most of the time where they might have had zero cases. Our friend and her family did not contract the disease.
I was more worried about the flight and the 10 day cruise we had scheduled.
I like visiting places I've never been before, generally. I did not enjoy Brazil much, for various reasons, but it looks like we may be going back there in November.
We'd be very isolated there, but the plane ride is a concern. I saw I could get Delta One seats for pretty reasonable.
-

Yes, it is instant death if you get it. Worst plague in human history.

It can aid discussion if we use actual facts in lieu of massive hyperbole.
This is a serious pandemic, especially for the elderly (duh), but one's individual chances of dying from it are quite low. Your chance of contracting it is quite low, even medical professionals are not dropping like flies, which was a fear I had in March.
I just had my post op appointment with the doc and two assistants, they wore masks, as did I, but the doc had to touch me. I'm sure he washed his hands etc. Had I sneezed, he could have caught whatever I had of course. I tested negative early August.
Obviously, being on a cruise ship would be high risk. Being on an 8 hour plane flight would be fairly high risk. Being on an island in Sweden, very low risk.

Do you even internet argue, bro?

Never. Argument on the Internet is futile. Resistance is futile.

Do you think had I visited Sweden I'd be dead from the virus, literally? Is the risk there different from the risk in the US?
I'm amazed, but not surprised, at how humans are wont to exaggerate either way. I suppose one minimization on line leads to a maximization in response.
Georgia has had fewer deaths than Sweden on a slightly larger population, so perhaps I am slightly safer here.
