  1. I went to the game with a couple of Bama fans and almost everyone was great. I've never seen so many people doing horns down in my life, but to be honest, it just seems like horns down is having a cultural moment. It was always pretty rare at away games in the past (Notre Dame, Cal, Ole Miss, Maryland, WVU). I have not been to the OU game in almost 20 years, but even at the State Fair it didn't seem as prevalent as in Tuscaloosa, where almost everyone did it when I walked by. Other than that, though, no one was mean or intimidating at all - it all seemed like it was in good fun. On a side note, we were on the opposite sideline upperdeck from the two bands, but I think I heard the Texas band more than the Bama band. They were able to be heard all through the stadium for most of the fourth quarter.
  2. I imagine that timing in the program plays a role in that as well. Texas was likely more willing to take a chance last year and especially a couple of years ago then they are now that this thing seems to be rolling and there is less desperation.
  3. I’m sure they are not going to do that, but the bylaws can certainly be changed by a vote of 100% of the membership.
  4. https://www.si.com/.amp/college/2021/11/05/james-madison-athletes-take-biggest-fall-realignment-caa
  5. I’m not sure if Sark needs to give up some of the play calling duties, but he should probably give up the custodial and maintenance staff duties.
  6. My flight was cancelled. Finally got on a flight to Charlotte, but we’re sitting at the gate now. At least I got to meet some nice Texas fans while waiting on standby. John Cornyn (no CR) will be at the game.
  7. I feel bad for the player, but I definitely don't feel bad for the coaches like Mack and the schools who have been complaining about the transfer portal and demanding the NCAA reign it in.
  8. I am assuming that JT Daniels did not need a waiver for his last two transfers because he was a graduate transfer - twice. He graduated from Georgia and then transferred to WVU and then he graduated from WVU and then transferred to Rice.
  9. Anyone staying in Birmingham and considering hitting up one of the Barons' games this weekend?
  10. I'm not going to look it up and do the math, but my guess is that any difference is more than accounted for by the fact that he has played most of his former assistants after he got Bama really humming and a lot of those other losses are in the first few years.
  11. Elko doesn't have any ties to A&M other than working under Jimbo, right? How often do coaches who worked for a school under a coach come back to that school to take the job of the coach that hired them after that coach is fired? It seems like a pretty unusual situation.
  12. I assume you mean Fox, because I'm pretty sure ESPN is not broadcasting the game and Gameday is going to Tuscaloosa.
  13. I think it was announced right after the Alliance was announced because I remember it being one of the first data points that suggested that the Alliance was not worth anything.
  14. I’m sorry, what?
  15. LOL Nebraska - always finding a way to lose.
  16. I'm pretty sure Government, English, History, etc. liberal arts majors are basically just pre-law.
  17. I just booked my flight for next weekend. Still working on getting tickets, but I'll be there one way or another.
  18. Joseph Ossai was still listed as undeclared his final season. https://texassports.com/sports/football/roster/joseph-ossai/9802 According to reports, he wss "looking to major in Arts and Entertainment Technology with a minor in Computer Science"
  19. UT is a branch of the Texas government and thus if the state is racist (which it certainly was), you can bet that the university and football program will be racist as well, whether they want to be or not.
  20. I mean … yeah. Did you not take US History?
  21. “I have always supported states rights when we were talking about things like slavery, but football is serious business.”
  22. I don’t see why anyone would believe that FSU was staying in the ACC a second longer than they have to. If you give FSU and Clemson 20+, that leaves 12 million for the other 14 schools. I cannot imagine UNC and UVA are going to want to be 20 million behind two conference mates when they may be more valuable to other conferences than Clemson. If you include those schools in the extra money, is VaTech and NCState really going to be okay with that?
  23. LHN showed one non-conference game and one conference game every year (basically whichever of ISU/Kansas was a home game for most years).
  24. Sark has done most of those things too, though, right? Sold out season tickets, signed or transferred a large number of highly-recruited players, brought in pretty respected assistant coaches, created momentum that has alums, players, and students excited. The only two he seems to be missing is "chang[ing] the way people will use social media to attract talent forever" and possibly "merchandis[ing] his personal brand.
