  1. That's not completely true. AB 1887 prevents state government entities from using taxpayer funds to travel to prohibited states. I believe Cal, UCLA, SDSU, Fresno State, and others get around this by paying for travel to prohibited states for games directly out of their athletic budgets.
  2. In addition to the various outs that Texas has, as people already pointed out here, I'm sure Texas's lawyers would have absolutely no problem with tying this up in discovery and pretrial motions until the year 2100 or so. You got that long to wait, Bowlsby?
  3. I wonder if ESPN would propose this as a Big XII-AAC merger to Bowlsby, perhaps with some $$$ thrown in to ease the transition, so to speak.
  4. I think it was the 21-21 tie against Syracuse in 1993 at DKR. At least, that's the first one I remember. Rough times - Rice actually finished with a better record than we did that year.
  5. I'm dead. Amazing work. Put this in the Louvre.
  6. Burger King is hiring. Seen it all over the news lately.
  7. Also not terribly impressed with Champaign, Iowa City, Bloomington, or West Lafayette, either. But Evanston is pretty rad...especially since you can just hop on the El and party in Chicago.
  8. I now fully understand @SydneyCarton's salty post while ago. Just saying.
  9. Amateur hour adventures such as exactly this should be Exhibit A for why we are leaving this dump of a conference behind.
  10. Maybe it will play out like this: Chair: "Do we have a motion to accept Texas and Oklahoma into the SEC unanimously?" Unnamed SEC School Prez: "So moved." Chair: "Can we get a second?" Another SEC School Prez: "Seconded." Chair: "All right. All those in favor?" [almost everyone says "Aye"] Chair: "All opposed? Texas A&M, you keep your damn mouth shut."
  11. My vote: Open with Arky Keep Texas-OU exactly where it is, has been, and forever shall be Play aggy on Turkey day I know, I get it...aggy is insufferable and a lot of you want to punish them for their asshattery. But dammit, Turkey day/weekend just hasn't been the same for the last 10 years. Bring 'em on.
  12. That's a strange hill to die on, Pac-12 - but if you want to go the way of the Big XII, be our guest.
  13. I remember it well - used TEX all four years I was at Texas to register for classes. You young'uns will never know the agony of Dr. Livingston's voice telling you: "MATH 408D ... WAS NOT ADDED" The old-timer upperclassmen used to tell us horror stories of actually having to stand in line at the Frank Erwin Center and manually register, pre-TEX.
  14. I came in with a bunch of credits from AP exams and community college, which helped. Plus my hometown was pretty shit, so I hung around Austin for a couple of summers and took summer school. No regrets, but maybe I could have dragged it out a bit more...LOL.
  15. I can confirm. In addition to my undergrad from Texas, I have a graduate degree from a university in the midwest which is generally not known for fielding competitive sports teams. I have a token amount of gear from that school, and I do wear it on occasion. But over 90% of the time, I wear my Texas gear. I look back on my four years in Austin very fondly, they went by way too quickly.
  16. Then fine, the SEC will just fill all four spots, and no playoffs for you. Somehow I don't think the other conferences will like that very much.
  17. I would say this guy is a moron, but his Twitter handle already did that for me.
  18. More like Texas is the rich dad who is tired of footing the bill for all of his trust fund children, and he just told them all that it's time move out and get an apartment.
  19. SWC, Big XII, and ??? Reminds me of an old joke: the "N" on the Nebraska players' football helmets stands for "Nowledge."
  20. I wanted Texas in the Pac at one time for purely selfish reasons, as I live out on the west coast and would love to see the Longhorns come out here from time to time. But I think the move to the SEC now makes perfect sense, and I am 100% behind it.
  21. Hmmm, guess he forgot about the part where FSU finished 5-6 in Jimbo's final season there, were set to go off a cliff, and A&M bailed him out with a massive contract. I'll give Looch one thing, though - he is good at the grift. He knows how to spin takes that the aggy faithful will slop right up like pigs at a trough.
  22. I blame the Big XII more for this smooth buttfucking by the officials, Oklahoma State was just the lucky beneficiary. It honestly would not surprise me if it were to come out one day that somebody in the Big XII office had money on Oklahoma State for this game.
