The Big 12 will compete just like it, and its predecessors, and every other conference has always done - on their own merits. Â Some of you kids don't remember decades ago when the payouts were not even close to 2019, and yet somehow, conferences were doing what they always did.
No kid is going to turn us down because of what another conference is making every year, they are going to turn us down because we have a shit program headed by a shit coach.

So that's the fucking answer?  Run away?  Aggy and Nebraska, those are teams that run away.  We're Texas, we don't do that kind of shit.
And because we are Texas, we know that aggy, as always, is benefitting from their big brothers and riding their coattails - Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Auburn, etc. are the reasons the SEC is getting paid more. Â
Aggy coulnd't even win their fucking division with their greatest QB of all time, let alone compete for a conference title.  Nobody gives a fuck about a team that hasn't won a national title since Hitler was in power.  If Alabama, LSU, Auburn, and Georgia bailed on the SEC tomorrow, nobody is going to be like "Why good sirs of Texas Agricultural and Mechanical Institution, we would like to give you all the moneys for your Southeastern Conference of Athletics, because we believe your team is why the SEC is the SEC".

Fuck that and fuck that shitty conference.
We will get paid just fine if we do well - Amazon and Apple have entered the chat, and have a shit-ton of money to throw around on sports, and that's a part of why CBS/Viacom are shedding some deals.  Amazon and Apple are sitting on a shit-ton more money than the Redstone family can even comprehend, and they know it's one of the few ways that they can compete with Disney+/Hulu/ESPN, and AT&T/Time Warner/HBO/whatever.
But if we don't get paid, it's because we are fielding a shit program led by a shit coach, and that is 100% on us. Â Unlike aggy who blames everybody else for their problems, and blames their conference and runs away from their conference, our problems have nothing to do with our conference at all, and everything to do with the shit-show we've been running since our MNC run-in with Alabama.
Everybody needs to stop with this bullshit "aggy gonna get paid more and I'm scared" bullshit, because they are sucking on Daddy Saban's teat.  Aggy ain't making more because they went 6-2 in the SEC back in 2012, or because they won a MNC back in the 1930s.
We will get paid just fine as long as we get our house in order.

I dunno man, Shapiro is a massive idiot, but  leave the small kids out of it.  Fuentes seems like a douchebag as well.
Why do you think Shapiro had his wife and kids there? Â That whole thing was staged.

I watched the new Wonder Woman trailer, and when they started the music and flashed "1984" on the screen, I was like "yeah, okay, my childhood, this is going to be cool."
I left YouTube running while I was mucking around in the kitchen, and they had some reaction videos that followed, and the first YouTuber, when 1984 flashed on the screen said "Oh my gosh, I wish I was alive in the '80s", followed by somebody who said "1984, oh wow, that was just a few years before I was born".  And  I shut it off.  And realized that the second YouTube, even though they were born in the late 80s, is in their 30s.

I'm interested in seeing how the extremely vulnerable GOP senators handle an impeachment trial. They usually run from reporters today when Trump's name comes up. They won't have that option when it comes to voting at the trial.
Take Gardner (R-CO) for example. By all accounts, he's losing badly in the polls. He can continue this path, vote to acquit, and be out of a job in 12 months. If Trump is still President maybe he can get an admin role. Or he vote to convict, face a tough crowd back at home, suffer thru Trump attacks, but maintain a small chance of winning. Is it better to have a 5% chance or 0%?
52 minutes ago, CO Horn said:If you want to make that argument, why did none of the retiring GOP representatives vote to impeach? They have nothing to lose. Gardner would likely not benefit by supporting impeachment. Not sure if there would be a chance of him being primaried, but many GOP voters would not vote for him if he voted to impeach Trump.
Are there enough moderates in Colorado? Â Are Trumpkins willing to vote D or leave it blank and give it up to the Democrats?
As for the retiring Republicans, most of them probably don’t want to be harassed by Trumpkins.  If they were to hang up their shingle somewhere, they are going to catch hell from Trumpkins. Â

I don’t think you can really judge the guy based on his twitter activity, clearly he thinks and acts differently than most everyone else on social media.
Actually, I think I can, since it reflects how he acts at his rallies and at some of his press conferences when he goes off-script.   That, and he and various press secretaries/spokespeople have said that his twitter account is him unfiltered. Â

That’s one way of looking at it.
Another would be that perhaps Nancy knows it’s going to result in a dismissal or acquittal in the Senate because the case for impeachment on both articles is so weak. Confirms this is a political sham in many eyes because if they really believed in it, they would send it on.
Trump and his defenders are not acting like this is a weak case at all. Â He simply does not radiate the confidence of somebody who believes they are truly innocent - every single fucking day, his twitter is that of somebody who is scared shitless. Â His defenders in Congress during the hearings could not defend his actions, so they simply shouted about how unfair the process was, how mean Democrats were.
If you are a strong individual who is fully confident you are innocent, you do not attack the political process, you attack the evidence.  Instead, Trump and Team R whine and whine and whine about how unfair the process is, and then turn around and proclaim before the Senate trial even starts, that they are going to make sure it's over as quickly as possible, and that the Senate Republicans are coordinating with Trump.
I guess it doesn't help when Devin Nunes' name turns up as a contact of Rudy's Eastern European buddies.

More info about Nunes is going to come out also along with Rudy eventually getting indicted. Let Mitch continue to loudly proclaim that he will work hand in hand with the White House and see how well it goes over with the 60% of the country who aren't Trump loving morons.
They should hold off on Rudy, and let him continue traveling around Eastern Europe and giving interviews and admitting to forcing state department employees out.
Although I do look forward to Nunes eventually having his name dragged through the court system, even if it's not him directly.

80,000 votes over three states is not a big deal to overcome. Â Particularly when looking at the voting patterns in those three states since 2016.
And Hillary('s emails) are not on the ballot next year.

What's to stop McConnell from changing the rules of the trial after she sends over the articles of impeachment?
Oh, I'm sure he will, but he's going to look really bad when he does it.
The diehard Trumpkins don't give a shit, they will support him to the end, but there's going to be plenty of moderates and others who stayed home in 2016, who are paying attention, and Trump didn't win by much in a few states.
Which takes us back to why Republicans are freaking out and want the trial over quickly. Â Plus, Trump might start some shit militarily to distract people, and the closer into the election season this goes, the worse it will be for Rs.

I am not sure triggering Trump is the measure of any success. He was going to be on full blown tweet explosion post impeachment vote no matter what.
As stated above the Democratic Senators running for the Presidency need this over ASAP as well.
Interesting strategy for sure.
Assuming there are only the two articles that were voted on yesterday (and that's a big assumption), if they push February/March, it becomes a serious problem for the GOP, because the GOP's rapid defense of Trump will remain in the minds of a lot of voters much longer, and it's going to continue causing Trump to have all kinds of shit-fits.  And you know he won't be able to help himself ,and will constantly be shouting in all caps "WHY WON'T THEY SEND THE IMPEACHMENT STUFF TO THE SENATE SO THE SENATE CAN PROTECT ME AND BIAL ME OUT!!#$@"
Plus, it gives Rudy more time for fact-finding trips to Ukraine and Russia. Â That's not helpful to Trump at all.

It is power. Â Look at how triggered Trump, Turtle, Linda, etc. are over this - all but foaming at the mouth in front of the microphones.
Nancy is going to make Turtle and Co. go on the record about how things are handled, and there is nothing they can do about it other than not give her the information - otherwise, they risk the first two articles pushing into election season.
There is a reason why Dotard and Turtle and Co. need this impeachment over within a few weeks.Â

You're leaving out Amazon and Apple, both of which are sitting on more cash than ESPN and The Mouse, and both of which really want to bolster their services, and one, Amazon, has already been dipping their toes in sports streaming/partnerships. Â As well, AT&T didn't spend $85 billion dollars on Time Warner just to sit on it and do nothing.
The people in the other companies (Amazon, Apple, AT&T/Warner/etc.) who are making these actual decisions are not necessarily looking at things like OOC games and the like, the bean counters are looking at overall footprints and markets, and while they would like the conferences to have good OOC games, their first priority is getting their foot in the door and getting some of the pie.
