  1. More our peers than big 12, certainly. I read peers as "equals" regarding national influence but if you mean kinda sorta in the same neighborhood and they really care about football, then ok. I was thinking bama, OU, Georgia, fla. Your point remains though that Texas is not going to have to be one of 2 bellcows carrying a bunch of slap dicks on our back.
  2. Not sure I agree with your detective work there.
  3. If this actually happens I'm going to also need some powerball numbers from you. I'll put half of winnings into Texas NIL, I promise.
  4. This. Same thing with professions. Like roughly 75% of this board I'm a lawyer and growing up I assumed lawyers were brilliant people who were never wrong. Fast forward to law school and I realized it's just a bunch of idiots that couldn't find a decent job upon graduating from undergrad.
  5. Someday someone is going to create one of more websites that will connect older wealthy men and women seeking older men with money. That's an arrangement many are seeking...
  6. That's a shame. Maybe the big 12 can advance them some of the 2024 TV money?
  7. Watched Beckham doc and as an American non soccer fan, I had no idea that he was hated by pretty much the whole country after getting booted out of the world cup final. I'm trying to think of anything in America even remotely close to the vitriol over something that purely happened on the playing field (ie not sandusky stuff) and am coming up blank. Take Gideon in 2008 and multiply it by 100. Tldr-limeys really, really care about soccer and make the most ardent college football fans appear sane.
  8. Germany once had the world's best wine, cheeses and bread. It was only for the early 1940s, and really just far western part of Germany, but still.
  9. There's another one of those big ass blimp hangers near Tillamook, OR. Or at least there was 20 years ago when I was there.
  10. Colonel Stalion, did you order the sign stealing? Son, we live in a world that has buckeye receivers, and those receivers have to be guarded by men with signs. Who's gonna do it? You? You, 89horn? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Purdue, and you curse the wolverines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that Ohio states elimination from the playoffs, while tragic, probably saved wins; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves wins.
  11. I appreciate the self deprecation, but 3 still seems high.
  12. Assaulting the CFO? Was it an intense discussion on depreciation that just got out of hand? There's got to be some backstory to this.
  13. Who has Thanksgiving in December? Is this a farmer thing?
  14. This is not the thread to point out the good things that happened because of rig 12 officiating.
  15. Watching the Oregon st/CU game last night I laughed when OSU accepted an encroachment penalty on a made xp, went for 2 from the one and promptly gave up 2 points to cu on a turnover on the attempt. I can just imagine this board exploding if that happened to us. Does 1 yard really shift the analytics that much? Im of the school of thought that if you really thought 2 points was worth it, go for it the first time from the 2, but perhaps the analytics say there's a 47% chance from the 2 and a 70% chance from the 1 (keep in mind we're discussing the average red zone team and not Texas which would be roughly 15% and 20%, respectively). Based on that, it makes sense, depending on the situation. You'd never go for 2 in a tied game late in the 4tg quarter unless your kicker's leg fell off.
  16. And also teams that don't benefit all the time from bullshit calls ...
  17. Thank you! My dogs are getting sick of me yelling this at the screen during games, though much less eloquently. If I had 10 million dollars, and someone offered me a coin flip where I win 15 mm if it's heads and lose 10 mm if it's tails, analytics tells me that's a good bet. But you'd be stupid to take it, given the context.
  18. So if Washington, Ohio st, FSU, bama and Texas win out, who goes? Obviously the three undefeated, but I have a feeling that bama gets in ahead of us. Early season loss, playing better now, SEC champ, yada yada. I'm not saying that's right just that will be the language the committee uses as they fuck us- see 2008 (albeit absent a conference championship in 2008, but I can still see it happening). Will be interesting if Michigan wins out instead- that'll be 3 blue bloods fighting for 2 spots, and one has pissed off a lot of people lately.
  19. Are you saying his Hawaiian girlfriend he never met is dying? Caleb doesn't seem like the type to keep that private, I'll just leave it at that. I'm gonna stick with spoiled Mama's boy until I see otherwise.
  20. Or, roughly 430k in each schools pocket. Plus that doesn't even consider that a non playoff Texas would still go to a good bowl that pays something, do the marginal benefits even less. Now go interview each AD and ask them if 430k would be worth Texas losing. I think I know the answer
  21. Crying after a loss, within reason, shows you care. Going to the stands and crying in your mom's lap? Yeah, we'd have laughed at that shit in high school, forget about college.
