  1. I'm gonna own I didn't watch many if the .500 team bowls. But.. I think I'd probably turn this on just to point and laugh, because schadenfreude.
  2. Narrator: It wasn't, and with all the opt outs their defense was substantial worse.
  3. Texas pushed for a Big XII network, it got shit on. Texas offered to create one with Aggie. They declined. Texas finally said fuck it and formed the LHN. We tried multiple ways, they all said no multiple times. So, we did it alone. The option was to get no money after offering various options to share money. Clearly, we should have taken no money, because money can't buy you love. Edit - Hah, found a fairly recent link that details all the shenanigans. https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/rise-and-fall-of-the-longhorn-network/
  4. I must of missed that list of legitimate issues slorch posted. Could someone please let me know where they went? Or, God forbid, did he post them and the over eager, sunshine pumping and super sensitive administration of this website take them down. That must be it right? Dammit!
  5. I actually considered Rhode Island School of Design. I can't even remember why now. Broadly speaking, I like Rhode Island, but I'm part hoodrat. Food was good, people seemed cool. Fuck Texas Tech.
  6. Haven't been around here in a while. Life has been largely fantastic outside of some work bullshit. Got a dog after a long time. Today marks 10 years since I died from a head injury directly related to an overly excessive BAC which precipitated a fall down some stairs. 10 years since I last drank. Doing my best to be grateful for everyday. My work takes me to a lot of happy hours. I no longer explain why I don't drink, just that I choose not to. The world seem to be growing ever more open to making the simple choice NOT to drink. Its nice, and my sober decade has been trying but wonderful. I never stop learning and grow a little everyday. I believe in open communications with words of affirmation and willingness to address issues with kindness. I also focus on listening with an open mind and willingness to align to others needs, within reason. I'm a better human than I was while drinking. I'm more alive and happier. It's a good day to have woken up and I look forward to tomorrow.
  7. You know, after a long, luxurious rest on the aggie dime, I'd love to see Jimbo show up at Pig and basically beat Aggie annually but pretty much nobody else. A man can dream
  8. Way better! I and others pointed out that we had to edge contain and get a pass rush with 4. Our blitz package was always late.
  9. Our DBs were adequate when we got a pass rush, which we never did against Washington. Our game plan and execution both sucked against Washington. It felt that way early in the game. Michigan's game plan and execution was not shitty. And.. the results align to that reality.
  10. At this level of play anyone who truly thinks any game is going to be a cake walk just has glassed too deeply rose tinted. It's okay to sunshine pump, but reality also has to play some part.
  11. This guy gets paid big bucks to say exactly what all the morons here have been saying all game and some of us long before.
  12. Lol well, don't throw with a defender right in front of you with his arms up for one.
  13. "Missed opportunity for Michigan to build on this lead".... Um... okay.
  14. We were definitely in college at the same time. This was like reading my own football diary. It's was a painful and sometimes soggy reminder of the past. Rashan Salam and the Missery rain game. You missed UCLA... me: 50 yard line, end of game, cancer stick in mouth, stretched out on 3 rows of bleachers. - Celebrating when we got the field goal to keep the scoring record alive. Yes, really.
  15. It really is bad across the board. Some league refs seem worse than others (Pac and Big XIi bad, SEC and B1G better) Then there are stupid ass refs groups with motives. (See CFP and Big XII for data points).
