    Update. New ovens delivered and installed, 9 days after the self-cleaning self-destruction.spacer.png Same as the old ovens. Successfully cooked a birthday cake. A $5,000 birthday cake. But you can’t put a price on happiness. 

    So how long before the next appliance gets murdered?

    JD has been pretty good at picking up value veterans that outperform out expectations. He's had some good prospects. My main beef with him is he tends to repeatedly produce the same kind of player, big power, shitty defense, terrible plate discipline. You need guys who play defense and get on base a lot and don't kill rallies with strikeouts. And you need some talented starting pitchers under the age of 45.

    Those kinds of players cost money. 

  3. If I’m reading correctly, then big 10 payout now is 54 million for full share. 
     

    big 12 payout is 38.8 million for tier 1/2.  Texas gets something like 15 million for tier 3, for a total of 53.8 million.

    so what’s this about Nebraska making a lot more money than Texas?

    not sure how much Nebraska lost while getting a partial share from b10 or how much their t3 rights would be worth on the open market.

    It wasn't quite that bad, but close.  Texas had three big second half comebacks in 4 years:

    • 2004 (Austin) - Les Miles' last year. OSU up 35-14 at half. Texas outscores us 42-0 in second half and wins 56-35
    • 2005 (Stillwater) - Gundy's first year. Bad OSU team. Gundy's only losing team. OSU up 28-12 at half before Texas' national champ team decides to stop dicking around. Texas wins 47-28. This one really wasn't that bad because OSU had ZERO business ever even being in this game. Texas was just disinterested for a half.
    • 2006 (Austin) - Texas won 36-10. OSU never in the game.
    • 2007 (Stillwater) - This one was the real killer. OSU finally had it rolling under Gundy; this was the first Zac Robinson/Kendall Hunter/Brandon Pettigrew/Dez Bryant team. OSU was ahead 35-14 going into the fourth quarter and then Jamal Charles went all destroyer mode. Texas wins 38-35 on a FG as time expires.

    2008 was a super close game in Austin when Texas was #1 and we were like #15 or so (Texas won 28-24) and then 2009 the Texas team that would have won the title if not for Colt's injury rolled us in Stillwater.

     

    If it helps, that was probably Charles’ second best 4th quarter that season. But you can argue that point with Nebraska if you want to be number one.
