  1. That's probably what's gonna happen - except swap out develop some hobbies with do 2 of my 15 minutes of real actual work.
  2. Trophies are already awarded at the individual sport level. No need to sum them up for a total sports level award.
  3. The problem is lack of consistency. The Big 12 does round robin but no other P5 conference does (or can with current sizes). Take away the Big 12 CCC and everyone else still has a CCC. It's stupid and hurts the members of the Big 12 to be so different. It's easier to change the Big 12 than two or three of the other P5 conferences so that's why fans want to change the Big 12.
  4. https://sports.yahoo.com/tampa-bay-rays-tyler-glasnow-suffered-partial-ucl-tear-will-try-avoid-tommy-john-surgery-injured-192809527.html So Glasnow is mad that he cheats and now his profession sports organization cares enough to punish for that? Okay....
  5. Had to google that one. What a stupid trophy.
  6. That wouldn't be your natural reaction? What's wrong with you? You are not Michigan quality.
  7. That's exactly what the conference wants. Why increase the odds of your best team losing?
  8. I hope they add the Alabama rule - if there is an expanded playoff, Alabama will be in it.
  9. More proof that the Astros are cheating! How nice of the home teams to give the visitors access to their live stadium camera feeds. /s
  10. Does this go here? Can't wait to read a book entitled Cheated: The Inside Story of the Astros Scandal and a Colorful History of Sign Stealing 🙄 https://www.si.com/mlb/2021/06/09/astros-sign-stealing-scheme-continued-2019-playoffs
  11. You answered your own question. The conference title game becomes a play in for the team from a poor division. Every conference has that possibility except the Big 12 with the #1 vs #2 game. There it just hurts.
  12. Surprised it isn't a lifetime contract.
  13. So 12 teams it is ... https://sports.yahoo.com/college-football-playoff-expansion-plan-043900023.html
  14. How odd with the XFL and AAF recently trying and failing. +1 for Gunslingers. Also, might want to consider a mascot named Redskins for publicity.
  15. I'd find in more valuable to see how other coaches fared in games decided by 3 points are less.
  16. I think we all know that. The points are 1) There's a downside. In this example, a very smart Westlake student doesn't get accepted to UT. 2) Those smart kids go elsewhere. In this example, it was Auburn, which was to combat the statement (not from you) "Are you saying UT should be taking kids who are at Auburn's level academically?" NO! It's the opposite. UT worthy kids are going to Auburn due to the top 10% rule.
  17. Certainly there is a upside to the rule, and it's as you state for the rural kids. However, no one should believe the top 10% rule is all positive with no drawbacks.
  18. I hope you understand or learn the down side of the top 10% rule (or whatever it's at). Kids outside the top 10% at great performing high schools schools lose a spot at UT to kids in the top 10% from poor performing high schools. For example, the kid who's top 12% at Westlake is probably better educated than the kid who's top 7% at Manor yet the Manor kid is guaranteed a spot. That forces the Westlake kid to go to say, Auburn.
  19. The university is already making changes related to the song. See: Previously called “the Guides of Texas,” intended to sound similar to “The Eyes of Texas,” the admissions office decided to separate itself from the name last July..."
  20. texas / aggy texas / arky ou / nu cu / nu ttu / aggy pitt / wvu ku / mizzou are the ones I miss

    I'm ready to apply. I may be the oldest intern in the history of LHN, but I'll focus on this preferred qualification "Historical knowledge of UT sports". Will have to sneak my kids in to perform "editing, screening and/or logging video".
  22. I'm down for 8. It's one more game for 16 teams out of 130ish.
  23. Oh, nice. Hi, @kyleumlang!
  24. I stumbled across this book by Mr. Umlang. I've ordered it for an aggy sister-in-law's birthday present. https://www.amazon.com/101-Aggie-Facts-Things-Longhorn/dp/1658685474/
  25. It could go another way. The leaders and members of the other band begin complaining loudly that they are not allowed to play enough at big events like football while the LHB gets all the glory such that the news reporters won't let the LHB vs other band idea go.
