  1. Going to be a tough week of practice for special teams this week
  2. Well in fairness that hasn’t been much of a issue in the past
  3. Texas 34 Alabama 21 The gloves come off of Ewers The defense introduces itself to the country
  4. I think if what people are assuming is true and the big ten is done now that Warren is gone then you have to go aggressively after the best assets left from the PAC. The Big 12 would have to sell Oregon and Washington on the fact that with there being no Big ten option now, they will most likely be capped at making in the low 30’s for a tv deal that last longer than they want and will lead to less exposure on Amazon hurting their brands overall. By joining the 12 and adding two to four other schools, the Big 12 teams could negotiate a deal for the add on teams and eventually get to 40-50 a year payouts which would narrow the gap between the Sec and B1G making them the unquestioned 3 of the big 3. Add Arizona, Colorado for sure and then 2 more from Utah, ASU and San Diego state if you think getting them will bring in the souther California market.
  5. Thanks a lot for coordinating this every year. You can donate my winnings to Burnt Endz.
  6. At this point, if it’s feasible schedule wise, we should just pay the money and leave without ousux. They can join when they’re ready but it’s obvious this league is going to do everything they possibly can to hurt the Texas brand. It’s just amazing to me that so many programs that benefited greatly from being associated with Texas and ousux are the same people that complain the loudest about each program. Both schools could have left 20+ years ago and relegated the remaining schools to G5 status but instead chose to stay and build up the Big12 brand. So were the other schools grateful? No. They just spent the last two decade’s complaining about us and Ousux. Pay the money and let’s go. We are getting zero benefit from staying in a conference that is actively setting out to hurt our athletic program in anyway they can.
  7. We need to get out of this conference yesterday. It’s pretty clear what’s going on and it’s a shame that the players are getting snubbed because a bunch of grown men are being petty. Texas needs to do whatever they can to move on or it’s going to be a long two years
  8. Texas 44 Kansas 21 130 yards punting
  9. What no has explained yet is why is everyone so confident that the PAC 10 will get a contract at or larger than the Big 12. When they opened negotiations with ESPN and Fox their reported offer was 24 million a year per team. Since then, Fox dropped its bid completely and supposedly ESPN's only competition is Amazon whose actions lead one to believe that they are positioning themselves for the NBA not a Pac 10 that just lost it's two most valuable brands. We are suppose to believe that Espn is willing to pay for a shared PAC 10 at top dollar when they have plenty of inventory and adding PAC 10 schools would just be icing on the cake? And why does Amazon feel so generous that they will offer the PAC 10 a higher contract when by all accounts they have next to no competition. They could offer 25 million a year per team for all three tiers and there would be no one to outbid them. Does Amazon want to get into college football so bad that they are willing to overpay for a mediocre league that barely fills its stadiums every week. They would be better off bidding for the Mountain West at a way cheaper price with less financial risk. Also, has Oregon and Washington just decided that they have given up on the Big10 dream and they are willing to make less than their Big12 counterparts for the next 5 to 6 years hoping that less money and exposure is going to make their schools more valuable when the new contracts come up? Unless these schools are just really that delusional, I would expect that after the contract terms are shared with Pac 10 schools we will see a lot of movement. I think there's a real chance that Oregon, Washington, Arizona and Utah all make the move. Oregon and Washington would go with the assumption that they will still be waiting for a Big10 invite but they can't let their brands decrease over the next 5-6 years when at that time they may be competing with ACC teams for BIG 10 spots. Maybe I'm missing something but it just seems like If you're a fan of any Pac 10 team you should be emailing school presidents and shouting from the roof tops that you want to join the BIG 12. Staying in the PAC 10 at this point is sentencing your school to irrelevance.
  10. Texas 45 TCU 28 588 total pass yards
  11. This is the answer. The offense isn’t perfect but it’s very explosive with all the talented players we have. While the defense has definitely improved this year, the giving up 3rd and fourth down plays so consistently is hurting the flow of the offense. Tech is an easy win if we don’t give up 50 4th down conversions. Same with OSU. People keep finding a soft spot in the middle of our zone coverage every third down and that is on the coaches. Make adjustments or move on and let’s get someone in here who is capable of stopping a 3rd down. We could be so much better changing out one coach
  12. Awesome. Finally got one of these right
  13. Texas 35 Kittens 28 72 plays 27 yards
