  1. The coldest I have ever been was stuck on a ski lift at Ski Santa Fe with 60 mph winds at -10 degrees F. The second coldest was 2000 OU wearing shorts and a tee shirt. Absolutely miserable.
  2. Gametime kickoff temp is now forecast to be 70 degrees.
  3. I'm not SURE I would rather have Dame than Jrue Holiday. Jrue is a 1st team all-defensive player and great teammate. He also only commands 25% usage vs. Lillard's 34%. Dude is underrated AF. But this tells Giannis you are serious about winning, regardless of how it turns out on the court.
  4. Why not both? FSU may actually be in the SEC by then.
  5. That's fair. Regardless, I'm not saying they will ever get the viewership of the SEC and BIG 10. But I think they are in a great spot relative to the ACC and (defunct) PAC 10. A lot of the viewership will depend on whether the champion is still in the mix or not. If by some chance Colorado runs the table next year all the way to the conference title game and they end up playing a 1 loss Big 12 school (ideally a Texas school), the game will pull huge numbers. Maybe even more than the SEC and Big 10 title games given the Deion hype.
  6. I think the Big 12 will be fine long term. Yes, the SEC and Big 10 will be the premier conferences and will be overrepresented in the playoffs. But the Big 12 will survive because the fanbases care enough to make them survive. And because they don't have any remaining blue bloods, they will have stability while the ACC is on constant poach alert. Last year's Big 12 Title Game drew almost as many viewers as the Big 10 and SEC title games - and didn't feature UT or OU. Once the PAC 12 is gone, they will get a share a solid share of the corner school eyeballs as well. It is hard to predict who will be the dominant Big 12 team over the next 20 years. Colorado looks like a good choice, but who knows how long Prime stays there. Utah has had success in the Pac 10. It could be them. Tech seems committed to the NIL game and seems better positioned than the smaller private schools over the long term. And Kansas is on an up-swing and has the added stability of their basketball program. Honestly, if their football has a decade of success, they would be prime to get poached by the Big 10. It will be interesting to watch. In the meantime, I hope we mud hole every one of them on our F you tour.
  7. Big 12 needs a new media manager if that tweet is the best they can do. Both confusing and stupid.
  8. Ced could turn a 2 yard run into a 5 yard run with regularity. Dude gets criminally underrated as time passes. He was an absolute hoss. Plus he has at least a claim as the best high school player in Texas state history. If he wasn’t such an ass, he would have been a lot more celebrated.
  9. I have Jamaal Charles as #2 on my list of best UT RBs that I have personally watched play. The list goes: Ricky Williams Jamaal Charles Cedric Benson Bijan Robinson Ramonce Taylor D'Onta Foreman
  10. That was me. Thinking about it a little more, if it was my job, I would take the current top 20 hip-hop songs each week... find the 10 with the most suitable or recognizable beats... and then that would be my ambient music when the band wasn't playing. Take the instrumental version and put it on loop. Something CURRENT. And turn up the bass and turn down that shrill ass treble. Damn. Just looking at the spotify current rap top chart, there are a ton of good options. You could play the instrumental version of WAP and I guarantee the student section and players would get fired up. Or Going Bad. Or First Class. Whatever. I don't love any of these songs, but that isn't the point. The players do. And the students do. It has to be better than playing tired AF "Jump" by Van Halen.
  11. After going to the Bama game, our experience seems so amateur in many ways. The Jumbotron is just too loud, the sound quality is TRASH. Also Bama figured out how to do the LED lights. Not stupid strobe crap. Take down the white lights and just bathe the stadium in orange. Done. Bama also would just play ambient hip hop beats that would keep the crowd bumping. NOT 40 year old metal that hurts the ears and kills all the energy. Play something recruits will actually like. Damn it, it isn’t hard. The atmosphere seems designed for 65 yr old grandparents. Bob Cole is horrid. I mean HORRID. He has to go. I found myself wondering what it would be like with someone like Rod Babers doing the stadium commentating. Overall most of what we were doing looked like something Texas Tech would do, but with us just spending more money on it. Seems like we are trying too hard. Amateur hour.
  12. Oh look it's the thread with the stupidest title in the history of Surly back at the top of the basketball board.
  13. One altercation outside the stadium involved a group of college girls running up to us. The lead girl yelling “HORNS DOWN CUNT!!!!!!” said with as much anger as you can imagine. I thought it was hysterical. My friend walked with his horns raised high for at least an hour and a half after the game.
  14. After the game as we were walking around, I put my arm up to my face like an elephant trunk and started telling Tide fans “Trunks down”. They responded by losing their minds. “Horns down fucker!!! HORNS DOWN!!!!!!” I might have been drunk.
  15. Any word from the tailgate? Our group is taking over a Waffle House preparing to head down in a bit.
  16. Disu is critical for this team to have a chance at a deep tourney run. And we need him all year to get a high seed.
  17. CSB Alert: Reminds me of a similar story with my mother-in-law. One time we caught a bunch of catfish at my in-laws. My MIL (GREAT cook) decided to fry them up for us. She was out of cornmeal so decided to improvise with some boxed cornbread mix. Big mistake. It was absolutely disgusting. Sweet cornbread and catfish are not flavors and textures that mix well. At all. \CSB
  18. We fly into Atlanta at ~2 PM. Any tips on places to stop between Atlanta and Tuscaloosa for food?
  19. We are flying in and out of Atlanta for the Alabama game. As such we are now planning to hit the Atlanta game to watch Bijan's start. Should be fun.
  20. We can migrate to the 50 yard line after those people leave in the 4th quarter when we are blowing them out.
  21. Hey immamac - It looks like we are only going to need 5 tickets after all. If there aren't any takers for the 6th ticket from Surly, let us know and we will try to find another person to go. Or sell it in the worst case.
  22. The 2 for $5 chopped beef sandwich at Rubys down by campus used to be the best sandwich in Austin in my opinion. Their smoked chicken jambalaya also slapped. Damnit making my mouth water thinking about it. Skillet potatoes were also strong to quite strong.
  23. Some of those Big 10 teams would be a much better fit in the Big 12. Minnesota and Iowa could compete much better with Colorado, Arizona and West Virginia than with Michigan and USC.
