  1. I'm sorry, are you under the impression, despite multiple posts on the topic, that Ohio State is located in the city of Cleveland? As has been broken down in several subsequent posts from the one you've quoted, they're comparably sized cities and MSAs and at some point youre being a fucking pedant for the sake of being a fucking pedant. Sources differ. Wiki has a difference of 200k. The real answer is WhoGivesAShit.gif you fucking pedant. It's irrelevant to the initial point. But it's a destination paycheck.
  2. Listen dude, you google this shit and it's all over the place depending on the source or the year/census data being used. I'm not researching a disertation here. They're comparably sized cities, which was my point. If you want to split some hairs in the other direction, well ok. Enjoy yourself, I guess. They're both citiies of 900k or so, and they're both MSA's of slightly over 2 million.
  3. Wait, he did let him talk? FUcking why?
  4. Columbus, OH, is as big or bigger than Austin, TX, from a population perspective. It's the biggest city in the state by far and fucking dwarfs cities with pro teams like Cincinatti and Cleveland. I'm not super familiar with the kind of business and industry in Columbus, but I'm betting it's fairly decent.
  5. Auburn fucking counts. They've won a recent national title, gone undefeated again, and been fucking relevant. This is a bad fucking take. Ok. Tell me about the *real* journalists that are the ones driving the UT program into the dust from 2009 - 2022. We'll all wait. You brought it up as a major contributing factor, so lets fucking have it. Pretty easily. They've never won anything, of note, in 3 major sports, in almost 100 years. I can substitite Vanderbilt and GA Tech into that list, some of the numbers shift, but it would be almost as compelling an argument. But if I overaly Michigan State to your graph, it's pretty identical as well. Are they in your top 5? Notre Dame isn't completely independant anymore, they're partially in the ACC. And there's usually more than 2 games, dude. THey played 4 ranked teams (at the time of playing) plus Clemson this year. I don't think kids give a fuck about being independant either way if the program is wininng and competitive in big games. Me. Feel free to bring us some super substantive open coaching position news or discussion if you're so inclined. You've got some Sark scoop that isn't just manufactured clickbait bullshit, feel free to fucking share about it. Otherwise, get fucked.
  6. I would list Notre Dame's largest outstanding issue at this point to be a combination of higher academic standards, as well as a reduced ability to recruit nationally becuase they've been on a down streak. That is reversible. If you wanted to throw in a general decline in interest in organized religion for young people, I wouldn't argue. Bama's recruiting ground is fertile if you're calling it the entire southeast, including Florida. But that is a high level of competition, and it's not entirely the same as the advantage Texas has, or Florida schools, when they have programs chugging in the right direction. And if they're sharing a footprint for recruitng with schools that have greater alumni resources, like say Georgia, or say the Gators, I'm not seeing your clear cut advantage at all. I find the idea that the players have a target on their backs by cops or local journalists as being a huge detriment to a program like UT to be laughably dismissable. You think Kirk Bohls has an outized influence on why we've sucked balls the last decade? He's an irritant to superfans like us. Meanwhile, lets look at the arrest records of UT football players the last decade versus, say, College Station. WE look real good. When was the last time we showed up as a contender on the Fulmer Cup?
  7. A&M appearing in the top 10, but also being tied with 'Bama.
  8. Have they not been price constrained? Or have they been able to operate at a discount because of Saban's name and reputation of putting dudes into the pros? Texas A&M hasn't been price constraned until about 3 months ago, that's a fact. How's that working out for them?
  9. Against my better judgement, but knowing it's better than cheese puns or some other painful swerve into a topic like, oh, lets say debating the implications of using NTTIAWRT on a message board, how would some of you folks define what makes a "top 5 program" in the year of our Lord, 2024? Because "it's always been one as far as I've been watching" doesn't really do it for me. The top things on my list would be, in no particularly order, fertile recruiting region, how big a city and how many busineses, financial wherewithal and number of living alumni, confererence, facilities, and existing brand and history, academic restrictions. I sure as fuck wouldn't have put Michigan in that list over Ohio State until maybe this year when Michigan showed themselves to not be interested in ethics or of the high morality they claim. And I still wouldn't becuase I think Ohio State has a more rabid alumni base geared towards football, and Columbus offers more NIL opportunities than Ann Arbor. Bama has an alumni and net money net worth problem. Are they top 5? Maybe. But I hardly think it's a slam dunk, it's a fucking argument.
  10. That's not entirely true. Tuscaloosa has a small airport. How do I know this? Because of the reports that came out of Alabama when we played them this season of everyone bitching about the private airport being too full to receive planes becuase the Texas private jets took up all the slots.
  11. Why don't you fucking ask anwar, you coruplent waste of bandwidth?
  12. We've had some success with an in between step, which is taking them out, rinsing an drying, and then storing in a jar in the fridge. I'd say most make it about a week.
  13. He writes it on his mirror in lipstick every single day. It started out just so his wife would fuck him, but odds are that he now believes it.
  14. About what, the crossfit guys? Here, these are the guys she fucked. Grab your astroglide and enjor yourself, chooch:
  15. Well, why would you know she's connected to Ogg? She's the general counsul of the texas republican party or some shit, and her husband is some psycho right wing blogger. I mean, what obvious connection would they have to Democratic Kim Ogg? Oh wait, it's because Kim Ogg is a piece of fucking shit.
  16. Everyone, and I mean everyone, hates Kim Ogg.
  17. Why bother? You know she has them all already printed out and probably bound in a fine leather scrap book that she takes everywhere with her along with her pipe bombs.
  18. Yeah, it looks like they’re hiring internally if it happens anyway. But who they think they are and who they’ve demonstrated themselves to be at this point are Aggie-esque. In the past two hours? Sure.
  19. You mean as in an alum? Or an amoral piece of shit who’d cheat or kill a kid to win games? Because he’s certainly the latter.
  20. You guys are looking at this all wrong. Outside of the intrigue, the "Of course Saban retires before the 'Sips first year in the SEC" post on Texags are going to be deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious.
  21. Seriously, are eating paste at every meal? We've had a great fucking off-season to date, note our team not being decimiated from the fucking portal compared to other schools. Jesus fucking christ. Shit, there are legit posters here who will pine for that shit.
