  1. here are 3 articles on the topic from yesterday and today: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/45363617/texas-ad-chris-del-conte-clarifies-ohio-state-game-change-proposal-refutes-nil-football-roster-payout-report https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2025/05/156333/texas-athletic-director-chris-del-conte-had-no-interest-in-moving-ohio-state-vs-texas-to-sunday-i-ve-got-to-go-to https://frontofficesports.com/fox-was-willing-to-move-ohio-state-texas-from-noon-to-primetime-texas-said-no/ the articles are consistent: - each headline blames Texas for refusing a night game - each article then corrects itself to correctly state Texas refused to change the day from saturday to sunday, but then carries forward with the narrative that Texas has refused a night game - each article downplays or does not mention at all how a move from saturday to sunday would 1) impact the week 1 / week 2 competitive cadence for the Texas football team, 2) impact the operations and logistics for the Texas football program and 3) the impact on the logistics and travel arrangements for Texas fans less than 100 days out - each article does not mention fox's baseball contract which prevents a move to a night game on the day the game is contractually scheduled - each article does not mention the early-exit negotiation with fox that moved the michigan game to pay 0u's early exit fees to fox, and that the subject of moving the previously contracted day of this year's ohio state game was not discussed during that early-exit negotiation (narrator: why not?) - each article does not mention our night game win at the shoe in 2005, nor is their mention of the zombie townies attack on Texas fans 3 and 4 times older than said zombie scum in summary, as far as all other parties are concerned, any viewpoint or statement of fact regarding the agency of Texas in these matters is not necessary to support the narrative (attack) they are attempting to portray in the national media, so.... FUCK THEM ALL not our problem and i still maintain CDC should call a presser and put it on fox and bjork to agree to move the game forward 18 hours and kick at 7pm eastern the day before on Friday night
  2. constant reminder: it's been 32 years since the habs and pat roy beat the gretzkyings prior to 1993 us teams won 26 of the prior 65 prior to 1928 every winner was canadian since 1993 every winner has been usian 41% of nhl players are canadian the hockey hall of fame is in downtown toronto (it's extremely cool) the league office is yyz replays are yyz today, king charles gave the throne speech to the canadian parliament, the first by the monarch in person in 50 years the orange man has united an entire country, just not ours winning this series is a sisyphean task oh, one last stat, almost forgot 90% of nhl zebras are canadian
  3. since 2000, fosu have played following games in september...... out west: cal, ucla, usc; didn't look up kick times for ocean weather games, also didn't look up box scores for temp at kick, doubtful any of the 3 were 'warm' south of 36th parallel: austin 06, miami 11, norman 16, arlington 18; austin/miami/norman all night games, arlington (roach) indoors in this century at a minimum, they have never played a game in what we would consider warm conditions, and have not played in direct sun at any temp above 80 degrees
  4. the canes have given life to oil with last night's result very low expectations tonight
  5. one thing is certain 95% of the tickets to us matches will go to people who do not deserve them group (exhibition) games for big names will be accessible for $1000 r32 and r16 with big names will be $2-3k on the secondary market with no face value access for the unconnected quarters and beyond basically forget about it unless you have walkaway money AND connections, otherwise secondary market will be $5k just to get in, decent seats $7-10k
  6. welp, if i were stuck there i would go nose around the airport and ask the fbo if there are any remnants of the usaf 477th still on the field to pay homage to the world's first, and last, C-130 demonstration team, the thunder weasels: https://avgeekery.com/four-horsemen-these-showmen-flew-airlifters-instead-of-fighters/ the field was decommissioned the 2nd time in '59 just after the 477th became the first squadron to get the new c-130 american used to house a training base at this field - runway 13/31 is 9000' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardmore_Municipal_Airport 2025 satview shows a few oddities scattered around; a couple of 732s (why they haven't been scrapped is .... odd) and a 722 sans power the irrelevance of the field is told by the date of the last (and probably only) google street view imagery from 2008, which shows an L1011, which at that date was probably one of the last remaining airworthy on the planet
  7. if we resist we go to the box it's clear they're not going to the box no matter what they do the league is DESPERATE for a canadian winner advantage florida in size, speed, strength, skating, skill, everything they are the best team on the planet by far they may defend their title but they will not get to do so playing oil straight up some but not all of their advantages will be negated by zebras
  8. please don't quote him if he is quoting me thank you
  9. i never thought the nhl would get an nba-feel to it........
  10. the refs called game 1 straight up and the league witnessed the result they are desperate for a canadian team to win a title and the only way to give oil any hope of competing with mean machine (i.e., cats) is to flip this series 180 degrees to a track meet where the wind draws whistles so they can end the series as fast as possible if today's calls happen back here in game 5 i'm concerned how our crowd will behave regardless they are better than us 5 on 5 straight up no fuckery or shenanigans we are going to have to get faster on lines 3 and 4 if we want to go all the way it's been a great season, and a great run for 5 years, and it will continue
  11. condolences ramjet
  12. the people making the decisions live in a black and white universe - apparently none of the accessible platforms felt compelled to pay for the rights - and i wouldn't either - this is a stupid fifa attempt to squeeze more money out of assets they don't own
  13. it's easier than going to find a message board also, i don't do social, only other than clicking through links posted here so online article comments are the quickest way to survey a given cohort if the discussion is not here, on the rant or in the ministry
  14. and just to make sure it's not lost in the shuffle, CDC should call their bluff and propose friday night 29 august 7pm eastern we'll take your night game you want so bad, and fox will pay espn 50% of fox's profit from our game in ann arbor last year, our game in columbus this year, and then espn will gladly split the profits with fox from tosu's trip to austin in '26 and michigan's trip to austin in '27 advantage: jort townies abracadabra see, aggy, we're all about the league!
  15. oh no - they want the big noon kick next year "to punish us"..... we, who have been subjected to the fox fuckery of "big noon" kicks at 11am local for the past 15 years.....
  16. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football/2025/05/156272/texas-reportedly-blocked-ohio-states-attempt-to-move-the-buckeyes-premier-week-1-matchup-to-primetime-on-sunday-aug#comments this is glorious the article is bordering on aggy delusion of agency when they have none 5%, only FIVE PERCENT understand there are no night games on fox on saturdays until the world series is over about 20% of the comments understand the tv contract with their league fucks them on the reg because of the fox big noon bullshit about 40% are blaming fox, and that includes the 20% who understand the base contract subject and the fox/mlb contract the other 60% are mouth-breathers calling us pussies and cowards and like the article itself FAIL to recall we've already won at the shoe at night NONE OF THEM have any clue about the negotiation between us, 0u, yormark, snakey, fox and disney, that resulted in the flip with michigan and the payoff to fox that made 0u's early exit possible if tosu wanted a night game on a friday or sunday those negotiations would have been the time to do it - we could have worked something out with san jose state and the sec to move bye weeks and other games so we would not have a short week if it was sunday, and hell yeah to a friday night game oh, and 30% are threatening RETRIBUTION by insisting on an 11am kick in austin next year!!!!!!!! bbbwwwwaaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa this series has had 3 schedule changes that i can find, the last change having something to do with having a game with washington that was contracted before the pac collapse https://texaslonghorns.com/news/2012/10/10/101012aaa_41 https://www.landgrantholyland.com/2018/5/16/17360884/ohio-state-football-future-schedule-changes-updates https://theozone.net/2020/01/ohio-state-texas-football-series/ tl/dr: they are a bunch of ignorant townies and if they win this first game i can see them trying to cancel the return game in austin
  17. i like the blades, but the prem is better when the tyne-wear derby is on, so no preference
  18. they are better than us 5 on 5
  19. i for one like these developments there must be a sense of competition for place i have ignored mls for 16 years until poch just gave me a reason to pay attention i would much rather go to war with a band of brothers and let the chips fall where they may sa kennedy (paywall)
  20. exactly - unpossible to move a september austin game to primetime, but certainly possible to give the zombie horde columbus townies an extra 6 hours to attack and harass our fanbase
  21. of note, the number of 11am kicks they've dealt with is zero we are conditioned to the "BIG NOON" kick being 11am local, central time i am extremely pleased we told them to fuck off we had to give these 2 games to the b1g to pay off 0u's early exit and the financials were specifically negotiated around fox's NOON EASTERN economics if a night game was a better deal for fox, then it should have been negotiated that way, so it was also a better deal for us OH AND FUCK FOX AND THE RIG12 AND YORMARK AND ALL THE ANKLE BITERS AND MOST ESPECIALLY, FUCK TIM BRANDO AND FUCK YOU KEVIN MAR YOU BIASED SON OF A BITCH! happy memorial day everyone
  22. congrats to you son - it's a hell of a time to enter the scrum deboer dialing up the right deployment to stifle oil's big 2 is key for us; the lede on the espn nhl home page right now is the flip side of this..... How Kris Knoblauch became master of the midseries adjustment https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/45270808/nhl-2025-playoffs-stanley-cup-edmonton-oilers-kris-knoblauch-coach-lines-goalies-philosophy
  23. you forgot to add the bomc esipn snakey conspiracy controversy that MUST be part of the collapse preceding the walk-off.... a weird strike zone, disputed outs, hits, bases, whatever there MUST be something that will account for the 8-run collapse with 2 outs
