    You didn’t catch the real meaning of the post. The list price ain’t getting paid by the smart kids- we go for free. And then Waco is great, if you’re one of us who had to work full time to support yourself through school. My apartment cost $450 per month. I actually saved up a little money while there.

    yes the cost of living is usually cheap in hellholes

    On one hand, if this isn't a negotiating ploy, you have to the commend the kid  for wanting to play football. In this day and age when kids sit out meaningless bowl games (which I don't begrudge, btw) to protect their mid-round draft status, I think it's a little refreshing that he's following his heart and doing what he loves. How could you put a price on the feeling of coming out of the tunnel in Dallas and playing QB in the Red River Rivalry? On the other hand, the adults in this situation including Lincoln Riley are likely doing this kid a disservice if they trot him out on the football field. I guess if it doesn't impact his contract, then it probably ultimately doesn't matter. 

    You couldn't pay me enough to come out of the tunnel playing for those fuckheads.

    His dad actually drove him back after he hungover-ly fucked up his UT trip but it was too late. Iirc there was a guy from Waco who played for Baylor or OU that he badly wanted Parrish to get away from and didn't succeed.

    I'm starting to feel bad for dad

    I clicked on this thread to see what the hell was going on and, holy shit, a sooner appears to be the poster with whom I agree with most closely. You other guys are defending the Big 12 as a conference? The Iowa State guys and Okie State guy, I get, sure, because they're proper fucked when the Big 12 ceases to exist. But Longhorns defending the Big 12? Come the fuck on. This conference sucks and I cannot wait to leave it. I can't wait until 2022 when it starts to become real that we're heading somewhere else, anywhere else. 

    I don't love it, but the conference is good enough that it isn't an issue for us so I don't really care. I  dislike the alternatives as well.

    Per aggy "gunnysacks":

    "You can just see it in our guys' eyes, the rivalry doesnt mean shite to them. none of them know what its like to grow up despising TU, yet every single ballplayer from austin gets sick and tired of hearing about SEC-SEC and how the Ags put one over on them in realignment.  

    When they announced we were playing texas in the selection show, the mood in the longhorn locker room was orgasmic. that clemens kid probly creamed his pants.The hunter has become the hunted. its going to be like this in every sport from now until the foreseeable future and its pathetic that our coach cant instill this motivation into our guys. Parker french, Ben johnson, kody clemens, all sips whose names i will remember for the rest of my life cause they talked loads of shite yet backed it up while we folded. frick that hurt to type."

    Hmmm.  Much of this was well-said.

    That's fine, i am not trying to change your opinion.  But  i have my concerns that elite recruits and nfl scouts arent on the same page with you in regard to that. Tell me you are cool with seeing a garbage pile like aggy getting recruits that should be in austin and norman by carrying the sec flag?

    It will be a fun non-con for sure, and Ou has a chance to win a bunch of games. And hey you never know, this could be the year that the sec has nobody in the playoffs.

     

     

    Most Big 12 teams don't recruit very well but have good/great coaches with consistent systems (Snyder, Gundy, Sweaty Fat Fuck Patterson, Campbell, Holgerson). They're getting the right players for them to win games, but not a lot of guys with the high end physical traits you need to get drafted. The only schools that recruit at a consistently very high level are Texas and OU, so those are the only schools that should be expected to consistently churn out NFL talent. That's why I don't really care much about the NFL statistics regardless of whatever bullshit aggy is spewing to recruits. We haven't produced much lately for obvious reasons, but it looks like we're going to start putting out a lot of NFL guys again now.

    Nope, just a football fan who isn't a blind homer and who wants the Big 12 to be better.   i can recognize a thing for what it is without my  fanhood getting in the way. 

    Conference perception means a hell of a lot to them. Not always for Ou and Texas but the sec has been getting kids that should be on one of our rosters. And if the other 8 teams dont get better, that will make it harder to convince elite nfl bound athletes to come to either of our programs.     After OU and Texas, the next best class in 2018 was TCU at 25.  Sec teams ahead of them: S. carolina, tennessee, aggy, lsu, florida, auburn, georgia and alabama. The f8cking sec has  8 of the top 20 classes in the country. And 4 of them arent good and definitely below TCU for the past few years. The aggy program is a shiny turd of dog shit and they currently have the #2 class in '19.  And guess what? The f8cking sec has 9 of the top 20 in 2019 too! And we have 3, again.   We are battling a perception problem and they are showing these recruits the nfl draft results too.  Winning will help no doubt about it, but we have to change this perception because all the best talent in the country had been overlooking the big 12 for a while.  

    This is why there are 8 sec teams in the top 20:

    Well, that and the stupidity of a CCG in a league that plays a round robin.

    Drop down to 8 conference games and replace it with an FCS opponent for each team towards the end of the season.
