Ha, yeah, doxing your own players is not so wise. Especially since with not much effort and a little local familiarity, you can figure out which apartment complex it is.

This seems fine, besides being on the road 2 seasons in a row. I was prepared to be ok with any non-SCar/LSU opponent.
Tennessee playing Cuse 3 years in a row is funny (only the last season was related to the challenge).

Better damn well get two home games in a row now. That said, like the match up, if for no other reason then it is new and exciting against a big state school. Anyone have a read on how they should be this season?

This makes Chris Grahams recently article partly correct I think? But I think he mentioned Texas as a 2 game series rather than conference challenge. Hoping that maybe he ended up with some sort of info about De Ridder after all
I donāt mind them deviating from a strict home-away rotation from year-to-year in order to mix up the matchups more. Though then again, thereās a couple of matchups that have already happened in the course of the challenge (Clemson-Bama, FSU-UGA, Cuse-Tenn), so maybe thatās not actually working out. I appreciate that the ACC-SEC challenge has yet to acknowledge Stanford as a member of the ACC, probably a good year to politely pretend they donāt exist.
Who knows, but Iām not taking anything away from this to apply towards the De Ridder situation. A couple of folks on the message board threw out Texas as a possible matchup just based on intuition and logic around the pairings.
The old sabre basketball board was the source of most of Chris Grahamās āinsider informationā back in its day. Iām fairly sure he essentially copy pasted one of my educated guesses as a source in an article towards the end of the Leitao era or early in Tonyās tenure.
Either that or my diction and speculation were eerily on point.

Oh I read it as him not understanding what little information he had and not knowing what he was talking about

Iām looking at Texasās roster and Iām like āI know a bunch of those names but I donāt associate them with each other or with Texas or with Sean Miller and tbh what is Sean Miller doing at Texas?ā
But welcome to college hoops in 2025.
Exceptions: Jordan Pope played for Texas last year and Dailyn Swain played for X

Itās interesting how Stanford and Cal were left out. I wonder if thatās going to be the case going forward to save on travel and maybe they can play a west coast P4 team instead.
