    If Texas loses ... 

    Texas losing to Texas Tech might open Pandora's box, though the Longhorns wouldn't be mathematically eliminated. Texas could still clinch a berth if two of the three other two-loss teams (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Kansas State) lose in Week 13. In that scenario, Texas would face the team that didn't lose. 

    If Texas loses and at least two of the other two-loss teams win, it creates a convoluted situation with as many as four teams being tied for first place. Without delving too much into that realm of possibility, the most likely outcome is a rematch of the Bedlam rivalry between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. 

    Here's how that would play out: 

    • Texas loses to Texas Tech; Oklahoma and Oklahoma State both win.
    • Oklahoma holds a tiebreaker over Texas, giving it the No. 1 spot in the conference standings.
    • That would set up a tiebreaker between Texas and Oklahoma State, dependent upon their record against a common opponent highest in the standings. Oklahoma State and Texas both played Oklahoma. The Cowboys won, the Longhorns didn't. Thus, the Cowboys would secure a spot over Texas and advance to Arlington. 

    Other possibilities exist, but they are better left explored if they even fall into place. 

    So as long as we win and osu wins, we are good?

    We don't need another shot at OU. We will play them for all eternity. If we win today, we want oSu for the final nail in the Big 12 revenge tour coffin.

    The only coach I would trust in a got-to-have-it game against those bastards is Royal.

    elsbeth was one of the better recurring characters on the good wife.

    bunk was a paramedic in "the money pit" and a beat cop in "it could happen to you", before becoming a murder police in the wire, and then whatever this ^^ is.  i'm a big fan of people getting promoted across different projects.

    john amos ran a burger franchise before getting into the military in die hard 2 and eventually became chairman of the joint chiefs in the west wing.  real success story.

    Don't forget John left a widow and 3 kids behind when he faked his death to move up in the world.

    Almost forgot about the time of the State of Texas Sesquicentennial festivities in 1986 when the Prince of Wales dropped by Austin for a short visit. 
    He met local celebrities including Lady Bird Johnson, Walter Cronkite, & Willie Nelson. 
    He even was asked to cut the giant Texas birthday cake which was on a platform that filled an entire basketball court downtown.
    Afterwards, the Austin Mayor invited the public to come on down an take as much cake as they wanted. 
    So the wife & I plus our 3 sons drove downtown in her Chevy station wagon, parked, then went into the arena and carried out big sheets of the cake that filled the back end of the car.
    Of course when we got home, the boys pigged out on the cake which surprisingly was really good. 
    The next morning I drove wife’s car to school and drafted some of my students in each class to bring in a couple of cake sections and serve it to all their classmates on paper towels. We had plenty for all 150 kids in each of the six class periods.

    That's crazy. Today half the kids wouldn't eat it because it's not on the approved food list. The other half couldn't eat it because of their allergies. There is actually a kid in my son's class who is allergic to buttercream. Poor girl has to eat plain cake. And then only a tiny slice. No way to live for a kid.

  5. It's bullshit that major grocery stores are open today. If you really gave a damn about your employees you would give them the whole day off. Instead, you make them work a full day because some jackass, who would drown in a cup of water, forgot to buy the shitty rolls. The only thing worse than that is having to work in the evening for the ridiculous black Friday sales. 

     

    And while I'm on my real early Festivus speech; Duroc pork scam is BS. Just like the Black Angus scam. 99% of the people eating couldn't tell the difference between duroc and sheetrock pork.
