  1. I thought about this, but $150 seems a bit steep, no? Also, the turnaround time is kinda long.
  2. Does that also mean no Big 12 tourney for the Pokes?
  3. My Tecovas need to be re-soled. I've used Roma in the past, but wasn't too impressed the last time. Is that still the best option in town, or does anyone like somewhere better?
  4. Texas State seems to be a loser in this round of realignment as well. Them and UTEP need to find themselves in the same conference at the very least. Maybe New Mexico State, too.
  5. I remember him being unpopular when running Austin PD, but can someone give me the Cliff's Notes why?
  6. The TV rights and recruiting field may be stronger in the AAC, but the product on the field is far superior in the MWC, especially after these next defections.
  7. Has that worked for anyone in the past five years though? I feel like they've tightened down on that by hiring scared kids with pit bosses watching instead of indifferent neighborhood folks.
  8. Negative. A game ticket gets you inside the Fair for free.
  9. If I were the Mountain West, I'd go on the offensive and try to poach SMU and Tulsa from a weakened American.
  10. I get that having the service academies would be cool, but I don't see why a rump American Conference is more attractive than the current Mountain West.
  11. Because selfishly, I have elementary-aged kids, and there's no way I can make it to the game when their games stretch from the morning to early afternoon.
  12. [CSB]I went to HS in Dallas, and my senior football season, a non-district opponent canceled on us at the last minute, so our school looked for a replacement... any replacement. The closest willing opponent we could find was Beaver High School in the Oklahoma Panhandle, and, unfortunately, we had to play up there. There is nothing there but sandy pasture; however, the town's claim to fame is being the "cow chip-tossing capital of the world." Their stadium is a dump, and every time they got a first down, their band of a half-dozen students played the saddest version of "Boomer Sooner" I'd ever heard. We kicked their ass.[/CSB]
  13. I don't see this happening, at least not anytime soon. The Big East kept its status as a power conference several years after Miami and VaTech left and continued to do so until the ACC picked off the best of the rest. I suspect the same thing will occur here when "The Alliance" finally decides to partition the best of the new Big 12 in the next five or so years.
  14. I *really* don't think we'll be in the Big 12 at the same time as these newbies, but if we are for a short time, this is how I see the divisions broken up: WEST: Texas OU Baylor Tech TCU OSU BYU EAST: WV UCF Cincy ISU KU K-State Houston When we and OU leave, shift Houston to the West.
  15. No doubt, but unfortunately this isn't exactly a new phenomenon.
  16. What in the fuck?? Anyone know a bar in East Dallas that has Paramount+?
  17. This looks good to me. Here's my pick for the non-pod permanent opponents: Pod A Georgia - Auburn Florida - Alabama Kentucky - Tennessee South Carolina - Vanderbilt Pod B Alabama - Florida Auburn - Georgia Tennessee - Kentucky Vanderbilt - South Carolina Pod C LSU - Arkansas Miss. St. - Missouri Ole Miss - Oklahoma A&M - Texas Pod D Arkansas - LSU Missouri - Miss St. Oklahoma - Ole Miss Texas - A&M
