    This reminds me of the WTF moment back in the mid-90's when the OU - Corn rivalry wasn't protected.

    Good thinkin' Big 12 B16 (see the 6 kinda looks like a G. Take that, B1G!)

    I think those two schools were a bit more complicit in it.  With UT becoming a conference game, I think OU was just fine not having Nebraska every year.

    Now of course they said that was a reason things went south, but that's exactly like Nebraska leaving for equal revenue after they voted against it forever.

    I’m focused in their statement that it was the other programs that opposed. Why would Utah, OKST, Tech, UCF, etc., be actively opposed to protecting that game? You can’t just say something like that without support.

    My guess is they weren't opposed to Farmageddon specifically - they were opposed to schools having differing numbers of protected rivalries, so the compromise was in-state games only.

  3. I do think it's kinda dumb that people keep saying it's "going away".  It's not going away.  It's just getting played 75% of the time.

    KU/Mizzou went away.  UT/Aggy went away.  Backyard Brawl went away.  This isn't the same.  It's dumb, but it's going to keep getting played on a regular basis as a conference games.

  4. I have no idea.

    If Gene and Jamie want to keep it going, just fucking play it as a non-con game in '27.

    I've heard guys suggesting that we get a bunch of washed up ex-ISU and KSU players to meet up on a high school field somewhere in NW MO or SE NE (to keep it neutral) and keep the streak alive.  Fuck the suits.

  5. He’s just gotten so into blue bloods that I’ve just lost interest.

    The best national shows are ones that cover the entire sport, and have either a great sense of humor or a legitimate curiosity in the weird corners of the sport, or both.

    Solid Verbal, Split Zone Duo, and Shutdown Fullcast are my go to national shows.  All blow Pate out of the water.

    I had to suffer through big12 garbage while I was in school and years after. I went to the 2015 Okie lite game and watched that screw job in person. Their commissioner actively rotted against us and talked shit about us while we were still in the conference donating money to all those leeches. Could probably list 10 more reasons 

    Show me on the doll where the Big 12 touched you.

    Since it's both teams and not just one shitting the bed, I think it's mostly field conditions.

    This.  I’m not going to react strongly to this game either way.  If we win, it’s probably dumb luck.  Same if we lose.

    The B12 and ACC have good media contracts for another seven years. 
     
    What we saw in 2024: B12 games can’t draw media viewers in numbers needed to support those payments, now that the SEC and B1G have a bunch of better matchups. 
     
    That’s why Farmageddon is in Ireland on week 0. That’s why a bunch of B12 games will be played in Thursday and Friday. That’s why ESPN is selling inventory to TNT. That’s why FSU and Clemson believe getting to the SEC or B1G is an existential need. 
     
    Now, there will be a larger and better inventory of SEC games. ESPN really wants that. The next media contracts will increase the gap between SEC/B1G and ACC/B12. 
     
    When we look back on 10-20 years ago, and wonder how this happened, a reflective IR8 fan or booster might wonder, “Is there anything we could have done to keep Texas and OU happy here? To have kept that first domino from falling, or even delayed it?” People tend to be self centered, so they’ll probably just decide, “Naw. Those Longhorns are just big selfish jerks”. 
     
    They’ll never realize what huge strategic errors the coaches’ votes in 2008 were, the hostility against letting Texas really weaponize the LHN was too, that the fun from seeing Deterding screw the Horns in 2015 was self defeating. 
     
    The Lilliputian’s did as they wanted and Gulliver split town. 

    You might have this site’s record for the most posts saying the same fucking thing.

    Which is really pretty impressive
