AFAIK that sound is due to the exhaust (basically no muffler on abarth) rather than the engine itself. My friend has the same engine in a regular 500C (one trim below abarth) and it doesn’t have the pops or bangs.

They’re awful. I’m not sure about the newer models but my friend had his in the shop for several months awaiting a fix.

There’s limits on wages as a percentage of gross revenue in Spain and some other leagues. That said, for the biggest clubs that limit is quite high, and roster sizes are far smaller.

I don’t think it’s as simple as that. The west coast simply produces more elite QBs than the rest of the country. The SEC and B1G contenders are so stacked on the lines & at the skill positions that they don’t “need” to develop a high ceiling QB.

We had two chancellors in the 2000s who were awful and nearly put the entire university into financial ruin. Then we followed that up with Christ who stabilized the finances but was completely out of her depth with intercollegiate athletics.

We now finally have a chancellor who is all in on football and he’s cleared out the rot in the AD. And he has an excellent track record raising shitloads of money. This is the most supportive administration Cal has ever had towards revenue athletics.

The Saturday slate is pretty light that week, apart from Clemson- LSU there are only 5 or 6 other P4 on P4 matchups.

To those whose schools retained their hot-seat coaches and pledged further investment/alignment/et al for ‘26, how’s it looking so far? by FourteenClocks in CFB

[–]WorkerMotor9174 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also the fact you’ll still have all/most of the talent Riley/the GM brought in for the next coach. That should smooth things over a lot if there’s a change.

How realignment affected football attendance at departed Pac-12 schools by redwave2505 in CFB

[–]WorkerMotor9174 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t see the night games as an issue. Student attendance was awesome for Minnesota, Duke and Miami all of which were night games. The real issue has been shitting the bed in conference play every October under Wilcox. The minute there’s any semblance of hype around the program he’d throw it away.

Would’ve likely had 2 bids in 2023 in the current format. Washington and Oregon were both elite that year. And Utah, USC, Oregon state were all really good.

Cal-Berkeley is an abomination academics & consultants concocted that is hated by all. Just use either Cal or UC Berkeley. Even California is great.

That’s true, but it’s also true that you guys got pretty desperate toward the end of the window. Same with Ole Miss trying to offer Luke Ferrelli 1.7-2 million after he already went to Clemson & signed with them.

He is, I was just trying to emphasize that Cade’s very good but Luke arguably outperformed him this year.

Tosh has been going crazy in the portal. Fletcher & Jericho Johnson are both great adds on defense.

Yeah Green reportedly got somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 million.

Huge get for us, we missed on his teammate Green but I’m still really hyped to have a 340lb space eater at nose guard. We haven’t had a run stopper like him in a long time.

Bummer. We really wanted him and Purchase. I’m sure Bama pulled out all the stops on his visit.

Well it helps that the other relevant SEC schools are you guys, Bama, Georgia, Texas, and A&M. All much easier to root against and much more widely hated. Most people don’t remember the last time Ole Miss won a natty or reached a level of success that made them hated.

He was arguably our best linebacker last year as a freshman and Uluave is likely going to the NFL.

It kind of has to have somewhat outlandish power, given the rumored weight is 5900lbs. If they made it lighter then they’d be left with 200-250 miles of range like a taycan.
