  1. Crazy, right? @RomaVicta I did a cursory search on the internet and there seems to be some indication that this actually happened, which is kind of incredible. This site is called "The History of Longhorn Sports: "Coach Royal teaches OU head coach Chuck Fairbanks the intricacies of the wishbone against the advice of Emory Bellard." https://www.texaslsn.org/dkr-1971-1976#:~:text=Coach Royal teaches OU head,the advice of Emory Bellard. The following is from an interview w Emory Ballard: https://blog.kir.com/?p=4829 And finally, on legendary UT head coach Darrell Royal’s decision to teach the Wishbone to other programs, including arch-rival Oklahoma. OU refined the formation during the late 1970’s and 80’s to win National Championships and to dominate Texas after UT abandoned the Wishbone when Royal retired in 1975:
  2. Haha. Just wanted to share it cause if true, it's got to be the strangest coaching decisions of all time and I had never heard it before this year.
  3. Seems like it is pretty well documented with quotes from Emory Ballard
  4. Is that the same Darrell Royal who willingly taught his entire Wishbone offense to the Oklahoma coaching staff, who then used it against him, and then beat him in every game (except for year one), which ultimately spelled his demise? I'm not sure if a worse coaching decision was ever made.
  5. Totally. Stay tuned. I just shared your comment with my office. Everyone agrees this is exactly what will happen.
  6. I'm devastated. First, my fave coaching clown of ALL TIME, Jimbo, is canned. I'm still not over it. Now, the AD who had presided over the most hopelessly inept sports program is hired away. This is going to take some time for me.
  7. Now do a well-researched post about the National Championship trophy Aggy gave Jimbo
  8. "Public Ivy" Haha, okay. Over the years we've hired so many lazy, entitled dumbasses from there. Now that I think about it, when I worked in NY, we hired lots of dumbasses who graduated from Ivy League schools, as well, haha.
  9. As I'm not a Cowboy's fan, I have to give them a giant thank you for providing us three of the funniest playoff losses of all time, and they occurred three years in a row! Two years ago: The infamous, "who spots the ball/time waits for no one/Marx Brothers ending collapse" One year ago: The "Immaculate deception/trick play/Ezekiel Elliott/butt dumble ending tragi-comedy" This year: The "Apocalypse Wow/Extinction Level Event massacre"
  10. From Sports Illustrated: Poor Mike Tirico was forced to utter the words, “Congratulations to our Comcast and NBCUniversal teammates, thanks to commissioner Roger Goodell and our partners at the NFL and all of the fans on this record-setting collaboration. A milestone moment in media and sports history.” A milestone moment? History? Here’s the real version of what Tirico should’ve said in that embarrassing video: “Roger Goodell sold an NFL playoff game to Peacock for $110 million, and NFL fans subscribed to Peacock to watch the game. We knew this would happen because Americans love the NFL more than anything, so thank you for going along with our plan of holding you hostage. And you might as well make sure you’re subscribed to Paramount+ and ESPN+ now because the NFL will be selling playoff games to those streaming services, too.”
  11. The biggest losers this weekend were the poor fans who forked out $$ for a Peacock subscription and were still forced to sit through the same bad commercials. Peacock then posted about hosting the largest-streamed event of all time. Congrats, I guess, but they failed to mention that Peacock lost $2 billion in 2023.
  12. My Fanduel bet for the Rams to win the Super Bowl is very happy with this game.
  13. ROSS BJORK ON HEAD COACH HIRING CRITERIA IN SEC: "We analyzed the type of coach that has had the most success in the SEC. Defensive minded head coach, right. I mean, just look in our league, who are the two best programs right now?"
  14. The day I caught a punt from Jordan Love. Micah was there, too. (Not me in the Micah pic) Me and wife with Kyle Pitts
  15. Metro areas in America seeing the biggest outflow of people according to LinkedIn.
  16. We did a 5-mile one there in a state park. Yeah, truth-be-told, it was actually the most beautiful hike I've ever been on. But it's fun to trash them.
  17. I hope they're crying today in stupid Leavenworth, Washington. Last summer, which we visited that fake, bizarrely kitschy, German-styled alpine town. It's a cross between Disneyland's, "It's a Small World" and Twin Peaks, with Blue Velvet thrown in for freak-show effect. All the poor store staff and food servers are forced to wear lederhosen, haha. Unlike Fredericksburg, there is no direct German tie-in. It was a marketing decision made in the 60's to make the town a German tourist attraction. The mountains are pretty, though. I hope they set up a big screen in the weird town center for the championship game, and drank their sorrows away with their bad German beer.
  18. Okay, I bet $40 for the Rams to win the Super Bowl on Fanduel The payout is $2,000 if they win. Where are we celebrating?
  19. That's not enough. He needs a contract that will pay him in the range of $78-80 million if we fire him in the next three years. The number can decrease slightly each year, until we don't have to pay him anything by 2034. Also, the contract should not lock him in. It should allow him to take a new job without suffering any financial loss. Additionally, he should be allowed to spend weekends with @immamac at the Surly mansion.
