I think the value of having your school attend a meaningless bowl game is slipping below the drawbacks. More and more marquee teams will opt out. More and more recognizable players will opt out. The college playoffs will continue to expand. Since the bowls have passed their relevancy, they will die, just as the runner-up game for the NFL championship game died in the late sixties.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
TreatyOak replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Three ways Texas can still make the 2025 College Football playoffs: 1. Form an alliance with Diego Pavia and play a game vs Vandy on Thursday. Win with such an impressive margin that the committee convenes an emergency meeting and bumps Miami out of their slot. 2. Book the James Madison team and coaches on Southern Airways Flight 932 from Stallings Field in Kinston, North Carolina, to Huntington Tri-State Airport/Milton J. Ferguson Field near Kenova and Ceredo. Tragically, the flight, once again, ends in a horrific crash and Texas is nominated to replace them in their game. Observe a moment of silence before kickoff. Submit a movie script to Netflix with all proceeds going to a survivor fund. 3. Simply declare that we are participating in the playoff and play a game vs Notre Dame. If we win, we 'advance' ourselves to another game vs another overlooked team, and finally play in an unsanctioned national championship game. If we win, we add another championship. Many teams throughout college football history have declared themselves national champions, so this wouldn't be too unusual of a development. 4. Pressure the Texas legislature to pass an emergency bill that requires Texas to participate in the playoffs or Tech and A&M are barred from participating. -

I think that makes sense from a players and coaches perspective, but I contend that giving a half-hearted effort in a meaningless game in front of a small group of fans with a lot of unknown players actually degrades the Texas brand. I admire Notre Dame's point-of-view. -
One of my favorite Longhorn players I've been fortunate enough to hang with. Really, really nice guy and I hope he finds success in football and post-football with his apparel brand. You can see his brand here:

Maybe time to remove ‘dipshits’ from the title thread. I am in the minority that w nothing to gain from it but risking injuries that could affect next season, Texas should boycott the meaningless bowel game. -
Post of the year. Everyone should email this post to CDC.

Great post. You are nailing it. Ignore those losers. Keep up the good work and congrats on getting yourself back on track.

No, people are mad cause in our biggest games, the team hasn’t played their best, or looks bad for one half, then makes a late run to save or almost win the game. Cignetti’s team played consistently well vs Ohio State and Oregon. They aren't flashy five stars but they play hard and smart.

We aren’t in cause we scheduled Ohio State. We aren’t in cause we scheduled Florida. -
If only Sark had the resources or the time Cignetti has had to build a program. We could be champions.
-
Best and most accurate summation of the season. Only thing I would add is that the horrible Florida game somehow came off a bye week. Sark had a golden opportunity this season and let it slip away. Maybe next year will be better.

Okay, you people are not taking this seriously. PLEASE stop re-posting gratuitous images like the one below with its inappropriate word-play. We are trying to get funding and they are damaging our credibility.
-
Or like the guy who rage-quits his job thinking he is a top industry talent and then one month later, calls back and begs to return after no one offers him a job. And can people stop posting gratuitous images like this? It's not appropriate and hurts our attempt to be become a legitimate site.

1,000%. Sums it up very succinctly.
-
True, but I already mentioned that I experienced the same level of college greatness at a Purdue game. They're hardly top-tier, yet they haven't debased their game experience the way other schools including Texas have, where it's sell, sell, sell.
-
I recently went to a Duke basketball game. It was a pure college sports experience. There wasn't a cacophony of promos, giveaways, sponsorships, shitty popular songs, etc. It was all about the students, the game, the school, the traditions, etc. So I guess someone should inform them that they need to lower their experience to a cheap, generic, gimmicky shlock of marketing crap to attract the kids.
-
Okay, but how come other major programs, like OU and Notre Dame haven't turned their game experience into Hannah Montana and somehow, they manage to keep the seats full year after year? Could it be that true fans of all ages don't need to be entertained like they are watching Disney+? I know lots of 20's Longhorn fans through my daughters and my interns, (no pics for you degenerate bastards) and I have yet to hear one of them ask for more mariachi music or more 'find the ball' games on the scoreboard.
-
This 1,000%. In the fourth quarter of the Clemson game, when the momentum has swung to them, nothing fires up our defense like playing the "Which horse will win the race? game on the Jumbotron. The Portland Trailblazers used to employ an actually very funny use of music. Whenever their team was hit by a questionable call or foul, they would play the theme from "The Twilight Zone," haha. This is genius, hahah.

"How A&M's loss is GOOD news." I won't bother posting the video, which is unwatchable. His premise is that Ohio State's loss last year propelled them to the championship and A&M can do the same. Right. Yeah, cause A&M and Ohio State programs have so much in common.
-
The loudest game I've ever been to was when Texas visited Purdue in basketball. The deafening volume of noise was generated by the Purdue band and the fans, who did chants in unison throughout the game. They're currently ranked #1, so it works for them. Edit: Apologies for derailing the thread. I'll get it back on track. You have to give A&M a break. They've been playing all season with a QB, who was the backup to Weigman, who was a backup to Max Johnson, who was a backup to Haynes King, who was a backup to Zach Calzada.
-
Yes, it sucks. There is a cretin level of endless promotional crap being directed at the poor fans. Bits of popular songs are blasted throughout the timeouts. Plus, as mentioned, there is the dreaded mariachi band, giveaways, fun facts, quizzes and hated Bob Cole. It’s painful and they do the same shit during the basketball games. I’ve been to college games at other major schools and no one else I’ve seen piles on the crap the way UT does.
-
I do actually agree with this comment: The whole game day experience there is very cartoonish and carnival-like. It seemed like a circus with a football game interspersed the commercial breaks. There were multiple cutesy-like events going on at the same time…a mariachi band playing…all very made up. x

At least his father wasn't arrested this time so that's progress: College Football Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia’s brother arrested for public intoxication during game for second time this season

Honestly, I don't even have to create any Aggie content. I can't possibly top what they create: 5342 days since A&M beat tu This appeared on the DKR big screen during the game. Neglects to mention that tu refused to play us from 2012 to and incuding 2023, which accounts for about 4400 of those days. The slime ball AD at tu, DeLoser Dodds, refused to play us and even told the other Big 12 schools not to play us.. They were afraid of JFF. I look at this as typical tu butt hurt chicken **** caused by our failure to ask them for permission to join the SEC.
