  1. In both those cases, I remember being mad as hell about one of them (Mackovic) because he kept his salary. I'm sure that McWilliams did too, but I wasn't as mad about that one. If they pay you the same and just give you different job responsibilities that's like making them work for their buyout, which neither of those coaches had, because Dodds didn't believe in including a buyout in his coaches' contracts.
  2. If memory serves, we did this for 2 coaches in a row. David McWilliams moved over to support the Texas Exes and we reassigned Mackovic to something facilities related I think. McWilliams ended up thriving and stayed for a long time and provided great service to the university. I think they did it for Mackovic to soften the landing. I don't think he stuck around very long afterwards, but my memory is hazy.
  3. Daily conversation in my house (we are YTTV subscribers): Him - there's absolutely nothing on TV Me - (switches over to Youtube) - oh look here's that guy that goes to various Japanese hot springs towns that has fantastic cinematography. Let's watch that. Him - yeah that's way better. He wants to watch the news on KVUE every night. I figure I could get by with Apple TV, Netflix, Amazon and Youtube just fine, but I have to solve for the "I don't want to change modes on the TV to watch the news" challenge before I can drop YTTV completely. I also don't have enough time in my day anymore to sit around and watch football, except the Horns game, but my blood pressure appreciates that I typically will only watch the Horns game after we win. If I look up the score and we lost, ain't nobody got time for that. If I see we won, I'll watch it Sunday morning. For a game like this weekend's game, I might go to a bar to watch it live. Oh, and if we are doing nothing on a Saturday and the Horns aren't playing, I usually will have the Youtube 4 team stream going just to have it on in the background.
  4. Oh look at the big brain on aggy! It takes real intellect to make gay jokes, and we are all finally put in our place because we are shamed that you accused us all of being gay. In reality, leave the jokes to the funny people, aggy. Y'all aren't comedians, as your cheerleaders make clear every week during football season. Y'all are funny though, as your continued ineptitude in all things makes clear on a regular basis. Go back to what you are good at, being a failure.
  5. I've read that part of this is that Google isn't just trying to negotiate a better price on the channels, but also to get more access to some of the ESPN+ content and other content from Disney that they can seemlessly integrate into the YTTV experience. Apparently they were able to make something like that happen with Comcast and NBC which apparently got YTTV subscribers access to something that was heretofore only available on the various apps, but I don't know, we mostly use YTTV for local news, sports and then we're on Youtube or Netflix or Amazon or Apple TV+ for everything else. If that's what's actually going on here, then Google kind of is the good guy in this particular instance, even though they are the bad guy in a lot of instances.
  6. Fuck Bud Adams. Rest in Piss, Bud.
  7. God damn, thats fucked up. Aggy dad and sooner son. Don't ever let anyone tell you that bad decision making can't be hereditary.
  8. Which should have taught any of you morons rooting for OU that you never root for OU. I don't know why anyone would argue with that. Never root for OU. Never.
  9. If we are ever in a position where I have to root for OU to win anything, I'll go ahead and say "my team should've been a little better. Oh well, there's always next year" and then I will hope that OU is involved in an asteroid strike. Failing that, I'll root for them to lose in a humiliating fashion. Fuck them.
  10. Well, our secret's out. At least he hasn't figured out what we're really trying to keep under wraps, that we have Bigfoot sitting up in the box stealing signals.
  11. With Mateer - OU Sucks. Without Mateer - OU Sucks. Same same either way.
  12. Since they are all missing their teeth, I guess Mateer's cock is as good a sub as anything else.
  13. To be fair, I didn't like Tech (except the band) growing up because I grew up an hour south of their campus and Tech bullshit was shoved down my throat my entire childhood. I begrudgingly became a mini-Tech fan because of Leach, and then was proven that I was right to hate Tech with the way they fucked him over. Until they apologize for that, Tech doesn't really deserve any respect. They'll drum up excuses to fire someone to avoid paying them a well earned bonus and then hide behind state immunity to avoid the consequences. Fuck them with whatever is the most uncomfortable and least fun for them possible.
  14. God Dammit, Bolverk. You made me think about the one thing about Tech that I was always a little jealous of as a Texas fan, and that was the band. Y'all say what you want, IMO their band is the best in Texas.
  15. I'm breaking my Cloak Room hiatus due to the breaking news that James Dobson is finally dead. I feel a little bit better about the world now that he's not in it.
  16. As its understood by a 35 year old virgin. So that tracks.
  17. I remember when Shane Dronett drilled the shit out of whatever QB was playing for Tech back then. I made a cursory search of the google machine but couldn't find a picture or video. It was great. Pretty sure the QB saw that one coming too.
  18. I'm going to say much the same thing that Alot said. I grew up in Brownfield, about 50 miles south of Lubbock. Everyone I knew that had ambition and drive was ready to leave town by the time we were in middle school. We scattered as quickly as we were legally allowed to. Before my parents moved away to Midland, I only had 2 friends to visit when I'd go back home. Everyone else was gone. And most of them in the "I'm not coming back unless I have to" kind of way. I went back once since my parents moved, and that was for my dad's funeral. I'll go back one more time whenever it's time to bury my stepmother. Otherwise, I'll never ever be back in that town again. I did like the South Plains Mall, though. At least the 80's version of it was fun. For what it's worth, Midland is even worse than Lubbock if you want to talk about a desolate setting.
  19. I, for one, will only feel better about the state of OU once we've reeled off 100 or so wins in a row.
  20. The color combo sounded hideous, then the picture is indeed terrible on the helmet, but I don't hate the orange jersey with yellow letters. Kind of surprised how well that combo works.
  21. Imagine my surprise when I clicked on this thread and I saw no masturbation pictures. Did see some dicks, though.
