  1. They were and still are upset because it is another reminder of who they are. A middling to good team that will always be passed over for someone like ND. That's why they desperately wanted to ride SEC coattails. Thus their "the conference didn't do anything for us in 2020" narrative.
  2. Mills deserves a chance with a real coaching staff to at least see if he is a viable back up. He has shown some promise, and its hard to know how good or bad he might be considering the coaches he has had for the last two years. I like all the moves so far, it seems like we might actually have adults running the place now.
  3. The idea that Slive wouldn't have welcomed UT into the conference might be my favorite little article of faith they believe and hold onto so tightly. Blocking Texas as commissioner would be grounds for dismissal. It's not 1955 anymore aggy. I know that upsets you in any number of ways (conference congeniality, water fountains, school demographics etc etc).
  4. What is the alternative coach? If it is just "fire Terry and find a new guy", then he probably has the job more or less baring a collapse this weekend. Tell me who CDC has on his phone and i can make a better call.
  5. It’s about damn time. We get a good draw.
  6. “I bet such a game could raise $10mm for nil or the ad and would give us something to look forward to” Still don’t understand NIL. Hell why stop there aggy? Just add 20 dollars to all home game tickets, make that go towards NIL and make it a 501c3 charitable contribution. 100,000 x 20 =2,000,000 x 6 home games = $12,000,000 towards NIL. its so simple you would think someone else would have thought of it before.
  7. I know a certain fan base that was highly annoyed with the last hour of the combine.
  8. A good upward projection for the Texans would be 6-11 this year 9-8 the next year then the playoffs. You don't waste 2 years of a running back's career on non-playoff years. You take BRobinson when you were a wildcard team ready to compete for a super bowl for the next 2-5 years. It has nothing to do with his talent. It has everything to do with a running backs standard shelf life.
  9. Tex/aggy was always a rivalry but it was never very important in the big scheme of college football. Its like my rivalry with fire ants in my back yard, i hate them and they hate me, but no one really gives a shit.
  10. I met Jeanne Tripplehorn at a bbq at a friends house while she was filming a movie, which I found out later was Basic instinct. She was cool. /CSB
  11. Mr. Drummond

    Four Sale

    I'll pay 1/2 of whatever G650 is foolishly going to offer.
  12. Its going to be 9 games. No way does the SEC make Bama choose between auburn and Tenn, They aren't going to make georgia choose between florida and Auburn. They arent going to make texas choose between OUsux and aggy. ESPN is going to write a big fat check to go to 9 games with the 3+6 format and everyone is going to be rich. Anything else is worrying about something that is never ever going to happen.
  13. There probably will be a push for a national reshuffling of conference affiliations and jump on that as a way to get away from sip when they realize exactly why satan was responsible for not one but two conferences blowing up.. So now when the inevitable super league type rearrangement happens in 10+ years it will be our fault as well. Sweet. We are so powerful, you would think with all our power we would have won more.
  14. I don't expect fans of message boards to all behave rationally or be correct about anything, hell we have plenty of idiots on the football board too. Aggy's biggest problem is their school and their AD operates like it is run by Texags. Is there not one professional there at all? This latest "the game better be played first in CS" is such a strange hill to die on. Who cares where it is played first, it literally does not matter, not even 2%. Sure fans on message boards can care, but when the AD is so far out over his skis about it, it just makes no sense at all. I honestly don't get how they don't see it.
  15. Games stretch to almost 4 hours all the time. I haven't made it through a non UT football game in years. Anything that gets it to 3 hours i am for. Number 3 being the most obvious.
  16. Yes I consider the regular season championship as the real one. But in my comparison, I didn't count any of our tournament championships either. So it is apples to apples.
  17. i couldn't find Florida's SEC championships in the 2 min on google i was going to devote to the topic, but they have 17 national championships since Aggy joined in 2012.
  18. So i did a quick dive on this. They have 18 SEC Championships since joining (of course aggy being aggy, they listed SEC west championships and end of season tourneys that I had to back out of what they have listed). Over the same amount of time we have 83. However lets assume SEC is harder to win championships (Florida always in top 5 of Directors cup as an example). Aggy still only avg'd about 2.8/yr conference championships over their last 10 years of Big 12 play. They have always been under achievers. And 1/3 of their SEC championships are in Swimming/Diving and volleyball, and well.... we know how that is going to go.
  19. Damn, David Nuno, used to be on TV in houston, and 790 sports talk - now works for texags. His wife is/was a trainer at orange theory back in the day.
  20. Boom $5000. Now both teams can go ahead and score 10 this quarter and we get the big number.
  21. Have 7 and 1 on a 250 per square grid… come on clock
  22. Re: bye week after OU. 3 times in the last 22 years. All they have to do is google.
  23. They know we are walking in day one with more power than they have been able to garner and it pisses them off. Will we run the conference? Of course not. But we will be at the big boy table immediately. That’s not arrogance Billie, it’s just the way the world works.
