  1. Well, you're kind of making our point as well and I don't think you realize it. TCU won a playoff game...that's it. They brought home no hardware. Now, if their coaches hadn't gotten stupid, they could've won the Big 12 championship game. Don't you think they wish they had won that game? Big 12 Championship trophy in the case, Big 12 champs billboards all over DFW, put it on the stadium, etc.? Do you think they really wish there hadn't been a Big 12 championship game?? That game didn't prevent them from winning their semi-final playoff game, and it sure as heck had no bearing on them getting their asses whooped by Georgia. You could make the case that the Big 12 championship game screwed them because they went undefeated...and in the past (SWC), doing that would win you the conference. But when you get to 12 teams, you have to have a championship game, and there will always need to be one going forward.
  2. Well, my comment may have been a bit too flippant for the context. I'm just saying it could be any number of things related to athletic contracts and legal issues. Odds are it's probably conference realignment, but when you have a high profile coach like Sanders who may tend to act first and think later, who knows?
  3. Yeah for all we know it could be something involving Deion running off a scholarship player or something.
  4. If you are going to get rid of crowing a conference champion, then what's the point of even having conferences? TV slots? College football regular season intensity is already taking a bit of a hit with the expanded playoff (which I'm fine with, don't misread what I'm saying). But if you take away the conference championship variable, then you take away even more of the appeal and fervor towards the college football season. At that point, might as well just start the 64 team bracket in September and turn the entire season into one big tournament bracket. Conferences matter for more than just TV and revenue. That championship means something.
  5. Most normal boards. I've decided the CU Board of Regents is a different breed of cat. Like Hurtlocker says, they meet a lot. Way more than I've ever seen a Board meet. So either CU has a lot of real estate, legal, and employment issues to discuss that can't wait for the quarterly board meetings, or this Board is much more hands-on than a normal BOR.
  6. Longhorn Bob... Is he still living in a converted school bus somewhere between Austin and Stillwater? (Wasn't that his last known whereabouts?) Just curious how many of you Horns contributed to said school bus.
  7. Me too. My “so long” was in lament.
  8. Lower tier games on MeTV. So long Andy Griffith and Hogans Heroes reruns on Fri and Sat nights.
  9. Multiple sources = reading the same Twitter tweets that all of the rest of us have read.
  10. Yeah, it makes me think he reached out to Dodds to do this story precisely because he now realizes April 15 ain't happening, and he wanted to get out of his pickle as soon as he could.
  11. I was there. I was a junior in high school, and the last time Tech beat UT in Austin my dad was a junior at Tech and had made that roadtrip.
  12. Wait, according to PAC loyalists, Dodd is a Big12 mouthpiece?
  13. This thread once again proving the off-season sucks.
  14. Meh. I hope Goodman is wrong (again). Grant has been a good coach at UNT, but in six years, I would not say he has lit the world on fire (as compared to what Beard did at Arkansas-Little Rock, a comparable position.) One NCAA appearance and two NIT appearances in six years. He has a career HC win% of .697 and a current win% at UNT of .667. His previous HC jobs were at Midwestern St. and Arkansas St. UNT this year was #1 in scoring defense, but #326 in scoring offense. I'm sorry, but that just isn't going to cut it (as evidenced by the fact they are in the NIT right now and not the Big Dance). I feel like Tech is settling with the "safe" hire.
  15. I find this latest from Wilner absolutely hilarious. First, he provides ZERO new information, but rather finally admits to what everyone else can see. Second, he's trying to give himself an out from the many months of his stance that the Pac 12 won't fold, it's better than the Big 12, it will get a great TV deal, yada yada yada. And to be honest, it still may...but it's just funny to finally see Wilner admit there's a possibility GK fucked this whole thing up.
  16. You have to buy it digitally ahead of time. Tickemaster. It's a damn racket. Hmm...what you sellin? Maybe I can be one of your potential clients.
  17. From what I read, yes. However, I would imagine it will be a giant pain in the ass to get the return Uber. Going Friday and Saturday. I just said "fuck it" and bought the outrageously overpriced parking passes for Barton Creek Mall with the shuttle...mostly because a round-trip Uber from Round Rock and back would exceed that amount, and because of the aforementioned pain to get an Uber at the end of the day. And as a client of enterprise software, I can assure you that your client probably would rather talk golf than software as well.
  18. I'm going next year (2024). Can't wait.
  19. No. I think he's either referring to back in 2010(?) when PAC-10 could have had UT, TT, OU, & OSU when A&M decided to throw their little tantrum, and/or then again back in 2021 when UT and OU announced leaving to SEC, the PAC decided they didn't want the likes of Tech, OSU, TCU et al in their treehouse.
