    That ended with a whimper..

     

    Archie : All right, all right, I apologize.

    Otto : You're really sorry.

    Archie : I'm really really sorry, I apologize unreservedly.

    Otto : You take it back.

    Archie : I do, I offer a complete and utter retraction. The imputation was totally without basis in fact, and was in no way fair comment, and was motivated purely by malice, and I deeply regret any distress that my comments may have caused you, or your family, and I hereby undertake not to repeat any such slander at any time in the future.

    Otto : OK.

    Your'e confusing relevance with on field success. There is no debate that Texas is still one of the most relevant programs in CFB. Texas still leads the nation in revenue almost every year, and has one of the biggest fan bases in the country. We have more social media interactions than any other school in the country. There's endless data showing our program's relevancy. Not only is Nebraska not winning, but their fan base and relevancy numbers have dropped off a cliff and won't come back. 

    not to mention Texas being in the center of one of the best 3 recruiting grounds in country, arguably the best

    These are the presidents of the universities. That’s not how any of this works. They think this whole thing is possible or they’d have folded their cards with the Rose Bowlers. 

    I agree with this; they are starting the season

    It’s not happening dude. Wake up. 

    The BIG12 presidents had plenty of cover to follow the lead of the the PAC12 and the B10; they didn't

    They will at least start the season, it is happening, and you are going to go ballistic -- these are all facts

    Why do I get the feeling the Big 12 is still going to cancel in a few weeks and they're more just kicking the can down the road so they don't look reactionary and following any other conference's lead?

    I think they will play the first game and see how it goes

    I just dont see how anyone can expect college football to carry on in the middle of fucking worldwide pandemic. its insane. i want my Horns to play more than anyone and i miss football BAD. but its just a game and is not worth risking the health of any player. We have to be adults and put their interests above our own. 2020 sucks. 

    well, you immediately disproved this

    This is a pipe dream, but imagine if being the cultural outliers in the Big 10 makes Iowa and Nebraska reconsider conference affiliation?  They're the only Big 10 schools west of the Mississippi (save for like 3 buildings on Minnesota's campus).  Nebraska obviously should be in the Big 12, and Iowa fits completely.

    If you could convince the SEC to swap WVU for Mizzou you could have this:

    Big 12 North:

    Iowa/Iowa State/KU/KSU/Nebraska/Mizzou

    Big 12 South:

    OU/OSU/UT/TTU/TCU/Baylor

    All of a sudden you have returned college football to a place of regional cohesion, with pretty much every major conference being geographically contiguous.

    Fuck Mizzou

    smells like the growth of a long term plan to dissolve memberships from financially struggling athletic departments in a move to consolidate the major conferences. with or without the ncaa.

    if we can divest from Baylor, then I call that a substantial silver lining to the current apocalypse we find ourselves in

    Baseball never recovered from the cancellation of the 1994 world series.  It did finally reach the same average attendance 15 years later, but didn't match the % of population it was reaching.  And it lost a lot of us fans.

    raises hand

    Yeah, I debated whether to use football or soccer. Decided to use soccer because I'm writing for a mostly American audience. Figured I was likely to get a snarky comment either way. 

    Soccer is actually a British term widely used from the late 1800s through the 1970s

    it differentiated Rugby Football (Rugger) from Association Football (Soccer)

    Lots of people have infatuations with Blake. I myself am completely infatuated with the idea of him being violently buttfucked by bear with a sword for a dick, and then given repeated mouthwash enemas. Fuck him. 

    so you're a moderate?

    I was thinking of something more severe

    don't care as long as any of them do much better than GDGG, david ash, case mccoy, and a TE playing QB. my god i'm getting ragey thinking about those years.

    I think Ash out of all of those could have been a damn good QB if not for the concussions, but otherwise, yes, much anger

    p.s. McCoy beating ou and aggy make him a bizzaro legend

    When he's not wetting himself, he's actually a good poster. He uses his 247 account for good and he generally knows his shit (you're not getting Football Board-level gibbering FIRE EVERYONE taeks), which gives the board someone not brain damaged to use as a backboard for arguments.

    Also in his vanishingly rare moments of optimism he brings quality Bollywood gifs to the board, which are a personal inspiration in terms of borderline insane levels of raw overacted emotion.

    the very first post I saw from Satya was a ferociously exuberant victory celebration after a battle

    I thought, "this guy's optimism has no bounds, this is fantastic; what a breath of fresh air"
