    Has one football program been singularly responsible for another football program's demise like Texas has been for Nebraska?

    Well, to hear some of them tell it, SMU's death penalty was due to them getting too uppity and stealing recruits from UT, leading to the BOMC and others turning in SMU for its cheating.  So that's two programs UT's killed.

    I've been thinking this too...why do they get an at large just for being ND...if they had another helmet they'd barely be top 15 or so.

    They're 11-1 in the SECX3.  Any team with that record is getting an at-large bid.  It doesn't matter that they're TAMU, that they feasted on the bottom half of the conference, or that they needed significant help from the stripes to get that record.

    I know that there was a  lot to comment on, but I can't believe that it took until the very last comment for someone to mention her fivehead

    And no one mentioned her Eugene Levy caterpillar eyebrows

    We have a lazy susan on our dining table (how asian of us).

    My son spun it real quick and a glass container flew off shattering on the floor. He said he wanted to see what would happen if he did that. *dumbass*

     

    He already felt bad so I didn't give him any more grief. I did however take the opportunity to teach him about centrifugal forces. I may talk about about rotational velocity during dinner tonight.

    Sounds like he was teaching himself about centrifugal forces.  Good for him.  Smart kid, figuring things out.

    I would like to punch two men in the face. Although I have no proof, I’m confident both are TAMU engineers. 

    First, the guy who designed the Christmas light strings in which a tiny wire is required to contact another tiny wire in an insert to complete a circuit, which is required to make all the lights on the string work. If just one of the lights on the tree gets slightly twisted, or disturbed, or looked at in a cruel manner, the circuit is interrupted and the whole string is dead, until you go light-by-light, pulling the damn things out, figuring out which filament isn’t making contact. I would like to punch that guy in the face. 

    I’m no electrical engineer, but it seems to me that it would be incredibly easy to design a string of lights in which the circuit functions regardless of whether any individual light is functional, is seated correctly, or is even present in its seat  

    Second, the guy who decided to use that design of light strings to tie into pre-lit artificial Christmas trees. Inevitably one or more of the strings on the tree will go bad. Then the user is required to go light-by-light on a light string that’s tightly wrapped around the branches in a completely random way. Doing so means getting one’s hands and wrists repeatedly abraded by the artificial branches and needles, and it’s almost impossible to find the offending light because the lights are all tucked in among the branches. 
     

    Screw those guys.

    Why would the QB not finish the season? The portal window opens Jan 2-16. If UNT makes the playoff, they'll get bounced in the first game mostly likely which is December 19-20. If they somehow win their first game, he still has plenty of time to make his decision to go to Oklahoma State. 

    He'll have better options than OkSU.  Even with his HFC going there.
