  1. Damn, kinda makes clear that UT really had to can him, for those still on the fence.
  2. Tang would be pretty underwhelming for UA, but might also be a sign that the 1994 championship is far enough in the past to not really matter anymore.
  3. My sister moved to Bentonville 20 years ago and it definitely felt like a small rural area near a college town. It's changed a ton since then, in large part to Walmart and the Walton's trying to keep young professionals longer term, and to generally attract more economic development. It's worked, the Bentonville town square is very active these days and feels modern. It's still not a place I'd go out of my way to live, I prefer more centralized cities, but if something arose, I would give it serious consideration. I think the area is a lot like Tulsa on the cr scale, still overwhelmingly conservative, but plenty of pockets of more progressive thinkers, if that's your preference, especially in Fayetteville in and around the university (last time I walked the area lots of rainbow flags and similar political yard signs). I think it's still considered a big time job, their 1994 national championship was a long time ago, but not like their 1960's football championship that feels like ancient history.
  4. Did Petrino really refuse a morality clause? He planning to dip his dick in the company pussy again?
  5. I was in the upper concourse leaving that game when it struck. The exposed metal cross beams were shaking pretty drastically. I was drunk and in super happy mood so it didn't occur to me that it was somewhat serious.
  6. It's the exact same metrics the rights uses when praising their own presidents, and when others add nuance, are called libtards. So fuck the right playing the same game and thinking they're scoring points. Just showing your ass, as usual.
  7. That's fine, and I'm sure there are a dozen legitimate reasons (or no reason, play who you want to play), but "they only allotted our fans 6,000 tickets" is a super weird reason to cite.
  8. Such a weird rant, but okay I guess. I can assure you the athletic department doesn't think that way. I know there are more politics among the Texas schools than in other areas, and that would be a way more prominent reason if UT decides not to schedule in-state schools for a while.
  9. Are you seriously suggesting that Baylor and Tech should be required to allot half their stadium for UT fans? That's not how it works, the closest thing is to move those games to neutral NFL sites. If those schools don't sell out to their own fans, UT fans can eat them up. The University of Tulsa doesn't have to allot OSU fans 25,000 seats for their stadium to be 3/4 orange when we play there. I know you have some serious hatred for everyone who isn't UT, but there are more legitimate gripes than "they should give us more tickets." That one is super weird.
  10. Isn’t a lot of that about Texas being Texas? The big dog, the Jones’, the Yankees, etc? Embrace the hate, it means you’re good enough to be with hating, a tale as old as sports. Al is spot on, Northwestern and Purdue have never faced relegation by Ohio State and Michigan threatening to leave. When ratings based payouts are proposed (and it’s gonna happen) they’ll grumble as fans will do, but when the alternative is “we can just leave and start a new super conference” they’ll accept it as necessary to stay in the club. The ISU and OSU fans that are paying attention know the financial realities, but there will always be factions that aren’t digging into the details and will default to “Texas is so greedy.” It is what it is, you still have better athletes and more money, we just don’t want to be CUSA.
  11. They work for free these days, right?
  12. That sounds about right. That sounds hilariously dumb (the first part).
  13. I can help you out here. In the middle of the state is the capital, Oklahoma City, whose downtown has several midrise buildings surrounding a massive phallic tower in the middle, which makes it look like the city is giving you the finger, or wants you to stare at its boner. Either way, it's quite off putting. About 20 miles south is a town called Moore, where Toby Keith was born, which is almost certainly why god tries to wipe it off the map every few years with tornadoes. Just south of there is Norman, where the University of Oklahoma was founded, and who in all their wisdom decided to reverse the letters in their abbreviation, something that nobody noticed for about a hundred years, because most people down there can barely read. Nevertheless, they cheated and got good at football and that's about all there is to know about that.
  14. In Oklahoma the judge doesn’t respond, the parties in interest respond. I assume it’s the same there. It would be trumps lawyers saying she’s right and smiths team saying she’s wrong. Naming the judge as the respondent is a matter of form because the order would be for her to do or not do something.
  15. I can't say I follow her all that closely, but I got the sense that the hatred for her wasn't about being crazy on the court, but off court stuff, including defending Briles et al. and more recently going full cloak room on her best player of all time, including offering basically a "good for her" comment when her jersey was retired in Waco and not much more. There's also the reports that she encouraged Griner and others to not be so open about being gay. That's my perception of her at least and why I think she's quite cunty. I don't really care all that much if she yells and throws tantrums from the sidelines like Sampson et al.
  16. I'll watch for DAG, but doesn't look particularly funny or interesting tbh. I agree the Key and Peele sketch was probably good enough. I'll hope to be pleasantly surprised. And lol at Whitey McWhiteson getting all butthurt up in here and his movie equivalent of "but how come there no white history month??"
  17. She's alright I guess, a little too horsefaced for my taste though.
  18. Trump just called immigrants "animals." His numbers will go up.
  19. Dumb idea but I’d switch allegiances in a heartbeat if the Chiefs moved to the Cotton Bowl.
  20. Football should have broken off at least 20 years ago, or at least when the questions arose about UCLA having to send its volleyball team to New Jersey for conference matches. It’s like nobody thought that maybe the money making sport that can justify travel costs should be different. Make a billion dollars with Oregon v. Penn State in football, whatever, but don’t make the diving team do that just because. Let everything else play geographically. You would think that two schools from the Pacific Coast joining the Atlantic Coast Conference would finally make people step back and figure out a better way, but nope. Just mind numbingly stupid.
  21. Both. I hope that’s true but I’m not willing to stake the future of this country on these numbers. It’s far more important that a fascist buffoon is defeated in November, whatever it takes.
  22. Is this a sports announcement or a new season of The Bachelor?
  23. I hate it, but if he blocks it, Trump becomes president, I truly believe that to be true with where the people are on Israel.
