Good thing we are getting rid of standard time after this winter.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
Heck, listening to Tirico & Collingsworth, it doesn't even sound like a Rams town. They were talking about noise level of Bills fans tonight and 49er fans last season.
When they had their run in the 2000s they were the THING in L.A. with celebrities being shown at the games etc. and the media ate it up.
Even if they regain football dominance that kind of brandimg will be hard to reach.
You may be right. My wife's cousins went to USC and what they've told us is that if USC is in the national hunt, the town will be all in.
It would be interesting to see (and I hope in some ways it does to regain a semblence of balance).
Pete Carroll was also very charasmatic and had a way of drawing attention and excitement.
People figured out there are beaches nearby.
If the Rams and Chargers leave town and they start out recruiting Bama, Georgia, and Ohio State for a few years to become a generational collection of CFB talent they could achieve that again.
You mean the networks. I couldn’t list one team that they have either lost to or beat since Vince Young beat them.
He sure did!
FSU was good in the '60s with a couple of Gator Bowl wins. Then, Coach Pete left to go to Tice (different era). They slipped and went 0-11 in 1973, 1-10 in 1974 and 3-8 in 1975 before Bosden was hired from West Virginia.
In 1976 FSU went 5-6 (hot at the end of the year) in Bowden's first season.
In 1977, they went 10-2 and won the Tangerine Bowl over Texas Tech (I went to that game).
In 1978, they were 8-3, but they didn't get a Bowl Bid. Ironically, they were in contention for the 1978 Hall fo Fame Classic, but they chose Iowa State instead to play Texas A&M (I went to that game too).
1979 and 1980 were Orange Bowl years.
By the time, the ACC invited them, they were in Dynasty Mode and a National Title contender every year for 14 straight seasons starting with their 1987 team (11-1 Fiesta Bowl Champions).
When they start playing Michigan, tOSU, Penn St., etc., along with ND, the lights are going to be a lot brighter on their regular season than they've been.
So they will get beat more and lose fan interest. “It’s Hollywood, to be expected.”
Maybe, will have to see what Riley can do. They'll continue to get elite recruiting classes.
God damn it Gonzo, let me dream. Don’t you have rivalry game to pay attention to.
Lol, this is the least stressful rivalry week/game for me in a long time. I'm fully expecting an ISU win. It's all about expectations.
Honest question. When did you last have a stressful rivalry week? I’m guessing based on your posts and what I perceive to be your priorities (family, and ISU connections) it’s been a while.
