  1. This is a bullshit story that a "reporter" came up with because instead of actually covering something that's happening, they could sit in a Starbucks and surf the web for a story. That's where all these bullshit "Selena Gomez unfollowed Justin Bieber on Instagram stories come from. I kinda understand the point of the article. Although Ohio State women's basketball is NEVER going to get the same amount of total tweets or fan interest that the football team gets (most sports tweets are not from the schools, but from the fans and reporters,) from the school perspective, it's like having two kids. One is an A student starting quarterback and the other is locked in their room playing World of Warcraft and whacking off to xHamster. You've still gotta give them both a birthday party. If the schools decide they need to address this, the easiest way is to X on an overall athletics account and assign each program an intern with a minimum number of tweets during the season. The football program has fifteen tweets in a week with 50,000 impressions; the women's rowing team has fifteen tweets with 35 impressions.
  2. FWIW, I thought Briles should have been fired after the Ukwuachu deal. Guy left Boise State under sketchy circumstances and there was a rape accusation against him less than a month after he hit the Baylor campus. I watched him multiple times practicing with no jersey number. Asked Briles and Phil Bennett about it, and both said there were just some eligibility things to clear up. Regularly checked the arrest and court records, but apparently everything was sealed, cause I never found anything out until months later, when all the rest the press knew about it. On the Chafin thing (the plaintiff was his girlfriend) I interviewed him, then he asked me not to use it. The court reporting backed up his story, so I guess my agreement not to talk about it is moot. She was his girlfriend. Got pregnant. Her dad was pissed and told her to get an abortion. She did. Went to Chafin's apartment and started screaming at him about not standing up to her dad. Claims that's when he assaulted her, but I think every time she accused him of assaulting her, it was after she'd gone to his apartment, so...most of it is he said, she said as to what actually happened. He claims he never hit her and only grabbed her arms to keep her from hitting him. She claims otherwise. I thought Ukwuachu was a psycho rapist, and Chafin was a dumb fuck that got mixed up with a psycho chick. The jury threw out the claims against Briles and Ian McCaw. My take has always been that Briles did a lot of stuff he shouldn't have done, but the school tried to use him as their judas goat for all institutional failings. That's why they gave him a multi-million dollar settlement in exchange for a non-disclosure instead of firing him for cause.
  3. Taylor Swift vs Jennifer Lawrence Jello Rasslin. They had some awesome shit back on Wide World of Sports.
  4. Agree that Manziel had limited skills, but what destroyed his NFL shot was his immaturity, refusal to learn, and the fact that he treated his body like shit, with the drugs, alcohol and partying. Williams may or may not be a successful NFL QB, but he's got a shot in part because he doesn't appear to be a total dumbass like Manziel.
  5. God bless you. I buried my mom last year, dad died years ago. You never see them as they are, now. You see the people who taught you how to use a spoon.
  6. Both Texas and Oklahoma had hangovers, and barely beat teams they should have destroyed. But the Horns are 5-1, and still in the driver's seat to be in the conference championship. As a wise old man told me:
  7. PSA: If you call your dad a motherfucker, you're probably right. Can't believe some of you motherfuckers don't want to watch a senile alzheimer's patient put on a mascot head.
  8. Yeah, that was worse than the TCU call me maybe and the Red Raider style videos combined.
  9. This is what I thought when I saw the photo. Mangino is one of those guys that gets eaten up by coaching. The stories of his raging are rampant, and he was obviously a stress eater. That raging was a stress release. So was the overeating. Better to watch games on TV and live a longer life than grab your chest on the sidelines one game.
  10. Belichick is good at X's and O's. He is also a prick, and players don't like him. Brady was the glue that held the team together. Heard an interview with a player, and the interviewer asked him about Brady. He said he had just come from a team where when the QB walked down the hall, everyone else was supposed to get out of the way. Said the first time he met Brady, Brady walked up to him, introduced himself, already knew his name, and welcomed him to the Patriots. Belichick's move on Brady before Brady went to the Buccaneers was classic Belichick. After Brady had taken middle of the road contracts for the good of the team his entire career, Belichick gave him an offer typical for a back up quarterback. Brady made his teammates feel important. That's why they came out of retirement to make one last run with him with the Buccaneers. Brady was a better quarterback than Belichick was as a coach. People took pay cuts to play for Brady. They wouldn't take a piss to play for Belichick.
  11. If you go to: https://www.espn.com/nfl/scoreboard on the right hand side, they have NFL highlight videos. Some of the Toy Story versions are on there.
  12. The Packers just scored and made the two point conversion, then forced a three and out.
  13. No clue. I know the buyout went up substantially when they extended the contract in 2021. Aranda's gone from the penthouse to the shithouse faster than any coach I've seen that didn't pull a Briles or Tucker.
  14. He is. Not an evil guy, but one of those, "what color is the sky in your world" types. In 2021, when Baylor was wrecking shop, I just figured he'd found a way to communicate with players that I didn't get. Berenstain Bears references, came off as a bald Mr. Rogers without the sweater. The last game where they showed any fire was 2022 TCU. After they lost that game on a walk off field goal, they mailed in the rest of the season. I started getting in trouble with, not so much my publisher, but our readers, cause I said Baylor was going to be bad this year. When others were picking eight wins, I said the Bears would be fortunate to get to a bowl game. On a podcast, my publisher asked why I picked that (not aggressively, just out of curiosity) and I said they finished the season on a four game losing streak and nobody could name one position where they'd gotten better. Aranda doesn't run the program. The program runs around him. After Saturday, it won't make a shit to anyone on this site, but Mack Rhoades is also starting to feel the heat. Aranda's going to have to go, it's just when.
  15. Autocorrect knows what it's doing. Leave autocorrect alone.
  16. It's a whole differnt level of dumb to get mixed up with someone who's made a career like she has, but my God, he had a picture taken with him pointing at her boobs.
  17. I wanted to wait until the game was over, so I wouldn't jinx it. We didn't fold in the second half, and got better as the game went on. I did the cheering, but it's a calm feeling of relief, also. We played like Longhorns tonight, and kicked Bama's ass AT BAMA.
  18. Nothing is over until @GreenspointTexas says it is. I am so happy at this moment. Please, Horns, close these fuckers out.
  19. I'm not predicting a score, but we'd better beat those motherfuckers. Sick of hearing about Bama.
  20. I was offered a renewal of my contract to cover Baylor when it expired in June, and I declined. The subscribers were getting irritated with me, anyway, cause I kept saying Baylor was going to be bad this year. Until Aranda goes, they may be the new Kansas. He's a nice guy, but he doesn't run the program. The program runs around him. Thank God I won't have to cover this presser.
