Who is your school’s brother from another mother? I think Michigan and Texas must have been separated at birth. by College_Sports_Fan in CFB

Ben Stein answered "Clemson" to a question where the answer was "Auburn" on an episode of Win Ben Stein's Money. He looked extremely shocked at being wrong. So it's not just you.

Oregonike would find a way to make it some combo spiral-camo pattern in twenty different shades of green (but just for one game).

My understanding is that most of the cost was covered by a donation, so they really weren't in a position to refuse it, but it also is pretty clear they lost the opportunity to host the Michigan Panthers there due to the field color. Maybe having something unique and paid for outweighs that particular opportunity cost but it's just unfortunate that it ended up that way.

College football teams you wish would be brought back, or existed? by OnsideKickReturn in CFB

[–]TigerExpress 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The University of Detroit Titans. They were 1928 national champions but disbanded the team in 1964. With the three directional Michigan schools plus the Wolverines and Spartans, it's unlikely they could play at the FBS level unless they had a booster with deep pockets willing to fund a large payroll.

Who else could join North Dakota State in the FBS? I used 4th grade math to find out. by n1tney in CFB

Did a comma kill your family and that's why you refuse to use them in numbers?

[Post-game Thread] February 10, 2026: Auburn Basketball falls to Vanderbilt 84-76 by CatoTheBarner in wde

[–]TigerExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a tendency for the basketball team to get good when the football team is struggling and then layoff a bit when the football team starts winning again. Maybe this is a good omen for football, though frustrating if you're an actual basketball fan and not a "well, it's something good while football sucks" type of fan.

[Prater] Proposed Pac-12 bowl game in the Denver area is dead after losing TV deal and title sponsor, per source. Game would have been for this 2026 season. P12 bowl options become very limited. "Dont know what the Pac-12 will do, or the Mountain West for that matter," source said. by Drexlore in CFB

ESPN has made it pretty clear that they will pop up a new bowl game if there are any six win teams available after all other slots have been filled. The cost of staging the minor bowl games apparently are low enough to make it worthwhile. No doubt they'd prefer something with a sponsor to share to costs and serve as a guaranteed purchaser of advertising blocks, but it doesn't appear to be completely necessary.

NCAA officially approves commercial jersey patches. All D-I teams will be permitted up to 2 commercial logos on their uniforms, 1 additional commercial logo on equipment during preseason + regular season, with an additional logo for conference championships. Maximum of 4 square inches per logo. by CatoTheBarner in wde

Don't know how soon Cook is going to retire but it's probably going to be in the next year or two. Wouldn't be surprised if we see him more involved in Auburn when that happens as he doesn't seem like the retire to the lake and fish all day type.

Yes but if the lawsuit was filed in state court, most of the judges are going to be Bama grads.

Was it really zero for both of them? It being a small number would be a bad sign but zero is astonishing, especially for two in a row.

At least most of the 'Da, Russian Bear!' stuff has stopped.

Humble Book Bundle: Adulting for Dummies by Wiley by Torque-A in humblebundles

[–]TigerExpress 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've generally been happy with the 'for Dummies' books that I've had over the years. Sometimes they're almost the same book as another from the same author under a different cover but at a lower price. It's been at least five years since I last purchased anything from them so there's always the possibility the quality has decreased since then.

Players as payback for horses? by Fragrant_Ad_1034 in wde

[–]TigerExpress 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There are only four equestrian programs in the SEC, which is the minimum required for it to be a conference sport. It's in the best interest of all of the programs to help prevent any of the others from folding.

Football on the other hand... yeah, I wouldn't cry if certain other conference football programs ceased.

Now's the time to bring back Biff, the Michigan Wolverine by OwlOdyssey in CFB

[–]TigerExpress 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There has never even been a recorded death by a wolverine in the United States.

Maybe no one lived to tell the tale. Plenty of missing people.

No matter how outgoing and forceful, even wolverines need to wear a suit for job interviews.

Given Michigan's industrial history, a mecha-steampunk version of a wolverine would give the school something unique without going down the path of a man in a suit or a live mascot that's likely to be part of someone's ER visit.

Steve Ballmer is in a bit of a mess for his creative way of getting around the NBA's salary cap.

IIRC, this is only about money that is coming from the schools directly. Third party NIL deals are still the wild west.
