The new-look Big 12 is going to be awesome for college sports

The Big 12 rocks, the new Big 12 rocks. The fact that we're gonna get like Kansas and Arizona playing basketball every single year, that rocks. Texas Tech and UCF is going to be my game of the year over every single year. Like there are new wrinkles that are awesome.

The Big 12 successfully expanded and remained highly competitive in both football and basketball.

Larry Scott is the primary villain responsible for the death of the Pac-12

Larry Scott is the big villain in all this. Larry Scott, when they brought him in, they were like, 'this guy is a visionary. He understands the future of sports better than anybody.' Basically, his vision was just fucking everything up and making everybody hate 'em.

Larry Scott is almost universally cited by analysts and fans as the key figure whose decisions led to the Pac-12's demise.

Conference realignment is the least appealing part of college football

The conference realignment discussion that we have—and it seems like it's every offseason—it's like the least appealing part of college football to me. I love it, and at it's a bummer, at the end of the day we're gonna watch the games, but it is gonna leave some people out.

The PAC-12 effectively dissolved after this episode, with most teams joining the Big Ten, Big 12, or ACC.

If I were Washington State, I would boycott College GameDay to protest conference realignment

If I was Washington State, I would boycott college game day. I would not have a flag in the background. Silent protest. Get more eyes on the issue right there. Probably won't accomplish anything, but we'll send a message loud and clear.

Washington State fans did not boycott; instead, the 'Ol' Crimson' flag remained a staple on GameDay throughout the season.

Victor Wembanyama is already better than LeBron James

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

Comparing players across eras or at different career stages is inherently subjective.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.

Subjective analysis of fan sentiment regarding a player's style.

The Cavaliers-Knicks series is over after Game 1

Series over, you can't lose that game if you're the Cavs. When it went into overtime, we said the Cavs have to win this. This is must win. You can't give this up. All time choke.

The series has just begun as of the episode date.
