  1. The inside of his house literally looks like 75% of the cabins in Broken Bow. Weird.
  2. Get it straight. They WERE bdf trash before, when they were in the bdf. Now that they have been vetted and approved by the elk, they're sec ready.
  3. That's what I was thinking. I read one of their spring practice updates and DE was the position mentioned where they felt loaded. Naturally they went out and used a portal spot on another DE.
  4. I appreciate your sentiment here and believe that you believe it, but as a fan of the school most commonly villainized by smaller brand schools for acting in our own interest and wanting to maximize our value, this is false.
  5. This makes sense. It especially makes sense because immediately after everyone happily agrees to this value-based revenue sharing model that brings more teams into the "big league" of cfb, those same teams can immediately turn around and blame Texas and our greed for ruining the sport through demanding uneven revenue distribution.
  6. It hinges on two things, I think. First, how do you sell it to members of the big 10 and sec, where fans really are fanatical about their conference affiliation. This idea only works if members of those two conferences get onboard, and that feels like a big task. Second, and directly tied to point one, the idea only works if members of the big 10 and sec can make more money under this model. Likely considerably more. That will help them get over their conference pride issues pretty quickly. I'm just not sure that's possible when those two conferences already own most of the programs who add value in media negotiations.
  7. Just wait until the end when they reveal that Mike Elko and Jimbo Fisher were the same person the whole time.
  8. Agree, let's get back on topic here. What does everyone think our safety rotation will look like this season?
  9. Is there any possible context that would make this less fucking weird?
  10. I'm squarely on team "tunnels are worse than bridges," but this bridge immediately came to mind when reading this thread. I've driven over quite a few discussed here, and this is one of the only ones that had me mentally saying nope, nope, nope as I approached it. Happy never to drive over this one again if I can avoid it, even though that area of the coast is stunning.
  11. Wow, they actually put a rainbow longhorn on a Bud light just to show the lib sips. What a burn.
  12. Ruining the sport for who? I'm quite enjoying it, personally.
  13. It's easy. aggy will never win anything meaningful. They've all been watching long enough to know it, even if they won't admit it. As we all know, unfortunately, Texas has lost in infuriating fashion all too often over the last 13 years. So, they've given up hoping for the impossible thing they really want in favor of the possible thing that makes them feel better about never being relevant. It's dumb and pathetic, so pretty much on brand.
  14. Not just any young QB. Definite flashes of Garrett Gilbert on the decision making front last night. Yikes.
  15. 100% serious question. If you made a list of the 10 most impressive aggy wins since joining the sec, what % would be moral victory losses? 30-40% feels likely. Off the top of my head, they've beaten Bama a couple of times, lsu a couple of times, the bowl against OU...maybe the NC bowl, but the opt outs hurt that one. I can't think of more than 5-6 wins that would be notable, but they sure as hell are proud of their "didn't lose by more" games to Clemson, Bama, etc. No one celebrates not getting blown out quite like aggy.
  16. Uh, try again, tsip: Transfer additions for Texas A&M. Howard-diamond in the rough Bailey-diamond in the rough Jones-diamond in the rough Miller-diamond in the rough Wright-diamond in the rough Lee-diamond in the rough Allen-diamond in the rough Texas transfer additions. Moore-nil overpaid diva who elko wisely avoided and will never pan out Mukuba-etc Golden-etc
  17. As long as he's chasing aggy's money, he's all good. When they have to spend $90M to change coaching staffs so the well is running a little dry, he's a disloyal mercenary for looking elsewhere. What's worse is I'm not sure they can even see it for what it obviously is.
  18. There is nothing more ironic than a school that has tried to brute force solve all of their problems through willingness to spend more than everyone else lecturing someone on the receiving end of those efforts about chasing money. That's hilarious.
