  1. Or we just assumed you would be smarter than to very strongly assert a completely incorrect statement for no other reason than "it just sounded right" to you, as doing so makes you look like a moron. Spoiler alert: you weren't.
  2. Richards did not care. At all. A Texas politician (Bullock) lobbied for Baylor and Tech. Otherwise the deal was just UT and A&M joining the Big 8. There was a pretty comprehensive article on it all a few years back, but I'm blanking on what magazine it was from.
  3. No "have no clue what you're talking about" comment has been passed around sports message boards more than this one. Ann gave no shits what happened to Baylor, and has been quoted saying as much. Bullock was the one who helped Baylor (and Tech) during the formation of the Big XII.
  4. screaming like banshees
  5. K State "insider" is saying we'll hear something about PAC deal within a couple days and that it's 25/ team/ year with ESPN and Amazon. Some unequal sharing (maybe postseason?). Expects Arizona and Colorado to apply for Big XII. Take it FWIW.
  6. Arctodus simus
  7. They definitely would, but if I was creating pods, that's still how I'd do it. I really am 100% cool with adding another Texas school and old SWC foe, but OSU has been an annual game for the entirety of my football watching life. And quite a few games the past decades have been great, high-stakes matchups.
  8. Personally I like that format too, except that eastern pod is nuts. Makes more sense to me to do protected rivals + rotate all others.

  10. Awesome! Glad y'all like them/ hope they came out as you expected.
  11. Yep. I'm curious if Oregon and a couple others are pushing for unequal sharing of post season revenues. Would be a way to keep them whole with the ballooning playoff payouts.
  12. I think some schools (like Oregon) definitely care about less money and less exposure.
  13. Holy shit
  14. Order submitted to the lab for printing, my friend. Thank you again for your support.
  15. Forgot to ever update y'all, but someone's recent like made me remember this post. I won - my first award for my photography (been doing it two years now). Really appreciate you all.
  16. I appreciate you! Saw your order come through and will get that processed as soon as I'm done with the day job today.
  17. If serious, I greatly appreciate you. My website is montanawildphoto.com. if you get something, put your screen name from here in order notes as you checkout and I'll upgrade you to rush delivery for free as a small thank you.
  18. Tripod, the old coyote that broke a leg two years ago. Still kicking ass.
  19. 🤣🤣 In all seriousness when I was at Cal I'd bet that 99% of my peers couldn't have named all of the other members of the PAC, and maybe half couldn't name the conference itself.
  20. Someone did earlier in this thread, yes
  21. No, but you should be embarrassed by said did-nothing-of-consequence with their lives fans puffing out their chest, calling the UT athletics programs "daddy" and bragging as though they individually actually have any tangible effect on UT athletics. It's so deeply aggy-esque. In case you mention it: yes, every sports programs has similar fans. And they're worth mocking every time.
  22. 1) Ya, This thread has really opened my eyes to how many Texas fans apparently put a lot of their self worth into how the UT football program (that they have zero to do with) is performing (but not actually performing on the field, just how much money they make). Sure sign that said individuals have nothing in their personal lives to really hang their self esteem on. Glad you got what you should out of UT - a fantastic education/ research dollars/ publications. It's a place that can absolutely open tremendous doors, but also one where you can skate by and do more or less nothing with it (like most big universities). 2) I did my PhD at Berkeley and am torn on this. I can attest to the fact that for the most part, no one gives a damn about any football game except for Cal vs Stanford, with a little secondary care about the USC game, and it's true on both campuses (I was at Stanford for a year on fellowship and went to every home game). On the other hand, when the team is doing well (those rare, elusive times), some pretty big crowds do appear. But the campus admin just isn't there to support big-time football (at both, but at Cal especially).
  23. PAC is becoming the living embodiment of that "this is fine" meme.
