  1. Not quite. Two white chicks and a couple Cholas... Missing the black girl catfight.
  2. Not much chatter on here about us going back to natural grass in a few years. Is that an SEC thing? I can't recall if any of the existing members have turf. But how is that going to work out at DKR? We went from the old AstroTurf to grass in the 90's and early 2k's to the new generation of turfs we have today and I recall toward the last transition, DKR was like playing in a mud pit even when the weather was somewhat dry.
  3. This is ALOT of it. These new rules MIGHT shave a few minutes off a game if the long reviews are not addressed as part of a fix.
  4. Rig 12 games have to be the longest in College football. We've become accustomed to this thanks the incompetence of the officials on the field and the booth.
  5. I'll agree with one thing about HEB. The curbside/personal shopper thing is getting on my nerves at least at my local HEB. It's a smaller store compared to your Plus type stores meaning the isles are smaller and those huge blue carts they use make it a chore to get around especially when the same isle has Olds using the electric carts and regular shoppers chit chatting on their phones. I understand the curbside thing took off as a necessity during the Covid chaos, but it needs to be looked at by retailers. I don't know if you can get that cat back in the bag though... If someone is reported to go full Karen at a Corpus HEB, it might be me.....
  6. Wait a minute. Lowell is calling XFL games? Can we beg the XFL to keep him?
  7. This. Fuck playing Tech every year. Screw playing Tech voluntarily ever again after this year. Beat them 50 to nothing and make the scoreboard pic a permanent memorial to McGuire and his arrogance.
  8. It's more along the lines the SEC wants the cupcake game week in November before the the last games of the season in order to buffer their poll slots. If the SEC played three non conference games like the rest of the P5's, then the opportunities for the SEC West/East teams to meet more often would've been there. But still I don't get why the gap with aggy playing UGA is there while they've played Florida and South Carolina several times.
  9. Thank goodness Tech will be our last game in the Rig 12 next season and it will be in Austin. After this last season and the way McGuire and the rest of them have carried on about their Super Bowl like victory against us in Lubbock, I hope we kick their ass and then some.
  10. After a couple of years of playing Arky, you will find out why it was a rivalry back in the day. Starting off with their fans which might rival OUSux as far as class or lack of.
  11. Typical Lowell. He sounds depressed we are blowing out the other team.
  12. Tuscaloosa game weekend hotel prices make Knoxville look like a bargain. Aggy friends of mine always stay in Birmingham.
  13. I can’t wait for the first Texas vs Florida game hopefully at DKR. UF has always been my fav in the SEC too.
  14. Sankey is a heck of a lot more likable than the current and former douche bags who lead the Rig 12.
  15. Point taken. Mine was more along the lines the NFL wasn't as focused on the bling with stadium like they are now. Unless the stadium doesn't have some deep historic roots like KC or Green Bay. Look how they are holding a gun to Nashville and Buffalo's head to make them build a new stadium.
  16. Compared to the Hemisphere Arena, the Alamodome was a great place to watch basketball if you got seats closer to the court. The Hemisphere was relatively small and had like hundreds of obstructed view seats on the lower level. It was a cheap ticket if you wanted to be there and look at a column most of the game.
  17. If San Antonio had a best case scenario regarding their stadiums and potential pro franchises, this is what they should do. 1) If they had an iron clad guarantee an MLB team was going to move or start from scratch in San Antonio, they should tear down the Alamodome and locate an MLB Park in it's place. See Petco Field in San Diego for something that would work there. 2) The Alamodome replacement could go out towards UTSA around the La Cantera / Fiesta Texas area. Nothing wrong with NFL quality stadiums being built away from city centers as we see with a number of pro teams. I'm not certain I'd go all in with a domed stadium though. Does this get SA an NFL team? Who knows? But it gives them a better shot than they have right now. Plus it's closer to UTSA and the student fan base and a good chunk of SA that has disposable income for entertainment.
  18. It was built in the early 90's (planning probably started earlier than that) way before Jerry built AT&T and it became the standard for NFL stadiums. I wouldn't say it was dated as soon as it was completed. Plenty of NFL teams played in much older venues and non football friendly ones at that until the 2000's and later. See the Oakland Coliseum, Metrodome, the former dump in Philly, etc for examples. I don't think the NFL became such a big advocate or demanded bling for stadiums until Goodell became Commish and like so many things he's touched it ends up being a screw job for someone else. That's not to say the road for these taxpayer funded gifts to NFL billionaires and the such would not be a thing right now. But who knows it might not have forced some teams to try to move the populations of NFL cites to finance a new one or lose their teams via a threat.
  19. Officials are going to screw us bad this season. There will be some Okie State 2015/2022 like crap I’m certain in at least one game. Especially if it’s a game where we find ourselves on a roll and real possibility to make the Big 12 title game.
