  1. Past hour
  2. Yep. Having the Florida game in Atlanta this fall is essentially a home game for them. Just eyeballing the conference schedule in one of the above post, it appears they are one of five teams that also doesn’t have consecutive road games, but get consecutive home games. Pushing one of cupcakes later in the season helps some schools it appears.

  4. Sent a lot of text messages, tho. Or at least Allred and Hager did. Lupe Valdez didn’t even do that much.

  6. Do y'all really want to win games at this point? I mean you need a QB.

  8. OpenAI steals shitloads of stuff, and they're investing in that machine (to make a profit). Ok for me, not for thee. https://variety.com/2025/digital/news/wga-disney-openai-deal-theft-of-our-work-1236606872/
  9. Paul Wadlington made an interesting observation on his latest EGAT podcast. (He apparently wrote an article about it on IT if you have a subscription). His point was that not only was Notre Dame not in the top 10 programs of viewership for their games (where Texas was #2) but of the top 50 rated games this year, Notre Dame played in 2 of them. Even their game against Pitt where Gameday went to the Pitt campus didn’t crack the top 50, and neither did their traditional blue blood game against USC. If the Big 10 and SEC stop scheduling them, what value do they bring to networks and at what point does NBC cancel/fail to renew that exclusive contract?
  10. On the reveal show last night, they discussed how the league office used AI with input from the individual AD’s from each school. I’m trying to figure out what CDC might have told the league office that would cause AI to spit out essentially what is the same thing we did this year with the long stretches on the road and not having our off week later in the season. Here’s hoping in 2027 that kind of gets evened out and we get to have the conference opener at home which for the second year we are on the road. IF we can’t have our off week later in the season, perhaps moving one our cupcakes would accomplish the same thing. aggy kind of has a good deal with having one of their cupcakes in the middle of the season and right after a road trip to Mizzou and before their road trip to Bama.
  11. Georgia gets 8 home games. fucking wild
  12. Interesting point. Trademark registrations have to be renewed every 10 years and part of the renewal is alleging and proving that the Trademark is still in use. Use in the Trademark sense means, for goods (if goods are what is recited in the registration) selling product bearing the mark in interstate commerce. For services, it means advertising the services in interstate commerce while being ready willing and able to deliver the services. The basic registration for the Oilers is this one. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=73104154&caseSearchType=US_APPLICATION&caseType=DEFAULT&searchType=statusSearch The mark is "Houston Oilers," words only, no logos, for the following services: EDUCATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES IN THE FORM OF PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL GAMES AND EXHIBITIONS That's pretty standard for a football team registration. Or any sports teams, sub out "football." So, the last time the registration was renewed, this was submitted as a specimen, that is proof that "Houston Oilers" is in use. https://tsdr.uspto.gov/documentviewer?caseId=sn73104154&docId=SPE20180105155702&linkId=2#docIndex=1&page=1 It's a page from the 2017 Tennessee Titans Media Guide showing the logo history of the Oilers. That ain't advertising football games and no one is ready willing and able to provide an Oilers football game. That's pretty much not trademark use, even for the loosey-goosey standard for service marks. So, if someone were so inclined, I think they could cancel this base registration pretty easily because it's not used on the services and therefore abandoned. What you also notice, though, is that the attorney is not for the Titans, it's for "NFL Properties." That tells you that the league really controls the trademarks and team names and they're not about to let the Texans or anyone else revive the Oilers name, whether the registration could be cancelled or not. Note also that there are registrations for "collateral goods," like team apparel. The Titans/NFL still sell Oilers gear, so the mark is actually in use there and not abandoned.

  14. MN Longhorn, you ready?
  15. CK is Creatine Kinase. CPK is Creatine Phosphokinase and is an inflammation biomarker. It may indicate injured tissue.
  16. Ditto on milk with pizza. I drink milk with damn near anything. LOVE milk.
  17. Hardly a revelation. Friggen' Tesla has a great plan. Build an aspirational, tent pole EV brand, then let everyone else draft off you. And sell them parts. Great the charging format standard, license that too. Woulda printed money.
  18. Should be as no other team has a game that would get the attention for a that night slot on ABC. Michigan/OU although will be less attractive now thanks to the chaos at Michigan will probably be on CBS or Fox since it’s a home game for Michigan. We should probably have the Gameday crew on campus too.
  19. Unwritten rule is you get one chance to clean house right?
  20. CNN reporting that the FDA is going to issue a black label warning on COVID vaccines packaging. The label is reserved for the most dangerous drugs that carry a high risk like opioids.
