  1. Yeah subjective holding and PI calls that only go against us and never for us is just because Sark has a “mentality” weak team.
  2. He’s talking out of both sides of his mouth. aggy is the best job because of money and resources. It’s such a great job/money huge names are in play that you wouldn’t figure similar to Brian Kelly>LSU or Reilly>USC aggy can hire Traylor or Elko if they are the best candidate aggy doesn’t have to pay $11.5m/yr to get the right candidate So if aggy hires a big name, he was right. If aggy hires a 2nd:3rd tier candidate, he was right and it doesn’t mean it not a huge job. There is literally no way he can be wrong, and he’s setting it up so that aggy looks good no matter what they do. Dude drank the maroon Koolaid Looch keeps serving him.
  3. What were the 27 different mechanisms in the “construction and infrastructure” of the SWC/B12 conference that gave Texas a “leg up” over aggy?
  4. Ohio State and Michigan are a class onto themselves. They can play Rutgers and pull 4 million OTA almost without fail. Cowherd acting like Oregon, Washington, or even USC will do that now just because they are Big Ten is dumb. Yes, the big games will get bigger but ultimately nobody watches bad West Coast football and that not going to change because they swap Arizona schools for Indiana ones not named Notre Dame. If they Big Ten truly schedules OSU/USC, Michigan/UCLA, Penn State/Oregon, and Nebraska/Washington all on a single day they absolutely would dominate that day in the ratings, but you can’t pull that off every week. The goal of setting the schedule will be to get 2-3 quality matchups for their OTA partners FOX/CBS/NBC but that’s not going to be possible every week. Someone will get stuck with Iowa/Michigan State or Wisconsin/Purdue. Until the Big Ten gets Notre Dame, the SEC still has the advantage. Adding ND would give them 3 bonafide bluebloods that can draw in a every window every week plus plenty of second tier options that could fill a 4th OTA spot and a late night kick. Still I think the quality will hold up well enough for the SEC. The SEC has 8 teams that have won BCS/CFP titles, the Big Ten even with 18 doesn’t even have 8 different teams that have made the CFP/BCSNCG. Adding Texas/OU is also going to have a compounding effect on SEC ratings, Far more of our fans will now watch a game like UGA/Mizzou or Bama/UK than ever have before. They got a taste of the Texas market with aggy/LSU/Arkansas, but now they’ll get a lot more (and Texas/OU’s rating will likely see a bump as well). The Big Ten may be better positioned with OTA slots and media markets, but the SEC has the better recruiting and football success. I don’t think either conference will fail so I think Cowherd’s take is relatively meaningless.
  5. I just dropped by to say my kids and I got on the Jumbotron when they played we will rock you. Great job ladies. Big 12 Champs! Taking it fucking with us on our way out.
  6. If Jimbo stayed, they would play through next season likely losing 4 games and end up with a team with poor morale, a dead coach walking, and having players sit out their administration’s Super Bowl against Texas. Now, while yes they have a built in excuse (1st year head coach) they also can tell them (similar to what UH told coach redbull) you can go 1-11 next year as long as that 1 win is against Texas. The next coach will design their offensive and defensive identity around creating the optimal base scheme that will most effective against Texas. Spring ball, fall camp, and every bye week will be focused on Texas. The coaches will watch and analyze film on Texas all season long and will have the team prepared to play spoiler. Their best chance at beating us is letting the mercenary players go back to New Jersey or Tennessee, and build a roster full of true believers in a coach (like Traylor, who imo would be the worst hire for us since he can leverage his Wast Texas roots and THSFB coaching connections, but aggy is hopefully too proud to go after a UTSA coach) who are in it for the long haul. They could only do this with a new coach with proper expectations set in advance of hiring. No way you could do that with a year seven Jimbo.
  7. FUCK! HUGE IF TRUE. I’ll call them up right away. Thanks for the heads up. You are a true friend of the program.
  8. Yes, the State gave UTIMCO control over aggy’s portion of the PUF/AUF because they regularly fucked up so much with the State’s money.
  9. Might have been the most balanced called game this year both sides got some freebie and some bad calls but I think nothing was intentional, just everyday incompetence (which is a welcome change of pace for Texas fans). Sark calling them out likely had something to do with it…
  10. That was bad. They pointed and drew him offsides. Also he got back so they should have just picked up the flag.
  11. Didn’t take long, but I was off on the breakdown. https://awfulannouncing.com/ncaa/big-12s-pro-rata-clause-reportedly-applies-only-to-power-five-schools-espns-part-of-media-rights-deal.html This original data for this analysis came from Sports Business Journal https://sportsbusinessjournal.com/SB-Blogs/Newsletter-College/2022/11/01.aspx
  12. I believe it was $23mil from ESPN and $9mil from FOX. I’ll be sitting in the Denver airport later today, will see if I can find a source.
  13. It’s not a contractual dedicated or exclusive afternoon slot. They can put on figure skating, NASCAR, or Big Ten volleyball if they want but if they want a college football game it’s either the Big 12 (which they pay $9mil/yr per school) or the MWC (which they pay $2mil/yr per school).
  14. Bingo, if you’ve driven on I35 in the last decade you know they’ve been expanding the fucking highway from Laredo to Denton. It’s one of the busiest highways in the country which all bottlenecks in downtown Austin. Billions or dollars in state and federal money is not going to go to waste for some idealistic pie in the sky vision. The 130 was the opportunity of a lifetime but the City and CTRMA was too stupid or too corrupt to see it. They’ve had years to see this coming, the highway literally North and South of downtown have been expanded or are expanding. The time to fight this was YEARS ago, now they’re just wasting effort.
  15. I call 100% bullshit, on them “adding” a 4th lane. Most of that road already had 4 lanes save a 2 mile stretch between Braker and Anderson Mill, but they didn’t build anything they just restriped the mother fucking lanes. Not only that but they restriped the lanes in places where it has 4 lanes already and took road away from the free lanes. These fuckers absolutely will piss on your leg and tell you it’s raining and nobody ever fucking calls them on it.
  16. Seriously these things are stupid as fuck. They narrow the roads hundreds of cars take an hour for fucking weekend road warriors. I never see anyone fucking using these mother fucking bike lanes during rush hour. Multiple road I frequent have had the ability to right turn completely fucked up leading to more congestion and even more dangerous traffic situations for these fucking bike pylons. Such a great “mobility” project. I hope anyone who supported these gets an infected hemorrhoid that pops while riding their ten speed.
  17. We don’t pay anything. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/big12/2023/09/22/texas-oklahoma-big-12-sec-espn-role-realignment/70910157007/
  18. Incorrect, we are not paying them a penny. Texas/OU “gave up” revenue from 2024 (when we will not be playing in this conference) and agreed to take the same revenue hair cut as the other 8 for the addition of the 4 noobs. Other than that we paid $0 to leave.
  19. I don’t think that is correct. The SEC’s spot are set, they just don’t know which game goes where: 230 CBS (99% chance it’s UGA/OleMiss) 6 ESPN (likely TN/Mizzou but could be UF/LSU) 730 SECN (likely UF/LSU but could be TN/Mizzou) 11 ESPN is Bama/UK 630 ESPN2 is MSU/aggy 11 SECN is Vandy/SC 3 SECN is Aub/Ark So if you’re saying ESPN is strategically waiting for CBS to state the obvious then maybe you’re right, but I don’t see how it makes a big difference here. I’m predicting it’s 230 by the way.
  20. The guys at FBschedules.com update their stuff fairly quickly. https://fbschedules.com/college-football-tv-schedule/ It’s between our game and Miami/FSU for the 230/prime spot on ABC. 230 seems most likely based on the competition.
