With Texas and Oklahoma scheduled to leave the B12, what are your predictions for the future for them in the SEC?

I think Texas will be okay, should be in the upper half to third. Their affiliation with the SEC may actually help them, but acquisition of talent has never been an issue, it's the execution.

Before Lincoln Riley left for USC, I thought Oklahoma would probably be just fine. But with that loss, I honestly think they turn into the Nebraska of the SEC. Once powerful, but now mediocre at best.

When I look at it, what would attract athletes to Oklahoma? Winning history? Nice facilities? Dime a dozen in the SEC. It will be interesting to see how they do now without Riley. If they fall back this year, i'd look for them to slip even farther once they hit the SEC. There are some cupcakes in the SEC for sure, but the top is usually crowded. The more I look at it I think they played themselves and I could see them in the middle to bottom of the league in 5 to 10 years.

What are your thoughts and predictions? Do they remain a powerhouse?

Football Preview Series Thread?

Okay, I admit that I’m blind, but what happened to the Football Preview Series thread? I thought it was pinned. Am I just missing it, or did it get closed or archived or moved to Premium or something? I was going to comment on the new segment.

A Notre Dame/Big 12 connection?

Anyone heard about this? Sorry if already posted.

Transmission repair central Iowa

I got some awesome news that my car will need a new transmission, and the quote was more than I thought it would be. Can anyone recommend a mechanic in the area that does good work at a fair price on a transmission replacement? I'm assuming a smaller town mechanic would be cheaper than someone in the metro, but I could be way off on this.

Iowa Speedway IndyCar Weekend

@Connor_Ferguson

OK, Connor, I listened to you on "Emory Plus One" and you sold me on going to Iowa Speedway this weekend. However, I need help from you and/or others in the know.

1. If I can only go to one race, which one should it be?
2. What are the differences between the various races of the weekend?
3. Where should I sit?
4. Is the Garage Pass worth it? How about the Fan Walk?
5. How early do I need to get there to navigate parking, etc.?
6. Anything else?

Here is the link for anyone else considering it. https://www.hyveeindycarweekend.com/en/buy-tickets
