Oh, never mind. I thought they were calling the entanglement with Chatfield

That was a dog shit call. Sorry ‘stache. I guess they’re paying us back for the one against us Saturday or something. IDK

You wanna bet on that? We turn it over more than we get shots on the basket right now.

Getting blown out by a sub .500 team in front of friends and family. Yeesh.

CFP expansion discussion
The way you'd get relegation/promotion to be embraced by enough schools is to give the blue bloods more money than they're getting now. If Texas and Mississippi State were being paid on the basis of the value they bring to the SEC contract, as opposed to being paid the equally, Texas would be making a shit load more money. So what you end up with is the death of conferences as separate bargaining entities, and schools pay outs are based on their ratings. The blue bloods in the SEC and Big 10 would have something to gain in terms of more money, the Big 12 and ACC shools would no longer be at a disadvantage to the SEC/Big 10 freeloaders/grandfathered in class, and those schools are the only ones who would oppose it. And I don't think there would be enough of them to overcome the combined energy of the blue bloods and the Big 12/ACC schools, as well as those G5 schools that have a realistic chance at playing their way in. The only ones who stand to lose anything in this scenario are the ones being most unjustly enriched by the current situation, and I don't think there are enough of those schools to stop it if push came to shove.

This is pretty much the same boat we were in on Saturday. I’d bet this ends up close.

Realignment talk not going away
I would murder someone to take a vacation to 2005.

I'm starting to think the auto bids is less about guaranteeing their spot in the playoffs, and more about generating the new revenue stream of play-in games on what used to be CCG weekend.

Non-Texas weather. The all-encompassing thread
In the car. We never got rid of the damn box elder bugs this winter. My daughter finds them dead on the floor and will pick them up look at them and go "bugs? bugs?" while my wife screams.

Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Chris Stapleton, and Other Good Stuff
There are some Isbell/DBT parallels with Lenderman and Wednesday, but it seems like they're much more cordial than that situation got. His solo career is too big at this point to be doing that AND a devoted member of Wednesday. Plus being on the road with your ex has to be weird even if you're cool with each other. Speaking of Wednesday, this rips.

UT's next basketball coach - discussion/debate [Sean Miller Hired]
DeVries younger brother is Hawkeye royalty. I’m not sure Iowa is a step up from WVU in hoops though. McCollum is a savant. We’re actually going to the Drake/Northern Iowa game today. My wife is a UNI alum/former athlete and I went to grad school at Drake

Pretty good effort going on the road without our two best players. We really need to be healthy in March.

That's going to be a phenomenal show, but it absolutely grinds my gears when people say "CCR" for Cross Canadian Ragweed. There's only one CCR, and they aren't from Oklahoma.

Tell me about Nebraska
I saw someone say "this must mean there's a Big 10/SEC challenge being set up" like they didn't realize that it was already a Big 10/SEC match up, and one that's only being canceled because Nebraska's a bitch.

You're fairly obsessed with trying to make this claim, but all evidence suggests ESPN and Fox have gotten exactly what they expected (and paid for) from the Big 12.

Big 12 CCG beat the ACC by a million viewers. It has less viewers than the SEC and Big 10. It has more than everyone else. 2/14 bids reflects that accurately
-

The Big 10 doesn’t historically deserve 4 bids either. The Big 12 and ACC will get a few spots because losing their viewers will cost the SEC and Big 10 viewers too. Same logic with guaranteeing the G5 a spot. This isn’t clemency. It’s good business.

I assume it's kinda up to ESPN at the end of the day.

I'd honestly like to see that. I'd much rather you guys be a force in the league than say, Houston.
