    I think spring football would suck, especially if the NFL did it too. Combining NFL, NBA, NCAAB, and NCAAF all into the same time period would make all the above less entertaining. Plus there's the start-up of MLB to factor in. Too many choices for fans.

    I don't see this as a choice at all

    All I see is college football

    not trolling or anything but what could be the downside? Do you think people would not buy burnt orange or whatever the hell god damn orange we are using nowadays?

    Back in the 90's I had I a dark blue shirt with a burnt orange TEXAS across the front; it looked surprisingly and ridiculously good, but I'm still not sure what marketing expert came up with including a non-school-color

    Still way too many unknowns about the long-term effects of this virus. According to this article, asymptomatic patients still had lung scarring and there is potential for infertility, among many other things. I don’t see how we can expect football this year unless we are all willing to shut down, mask up, and bend the curve to where testing, tracing, and isolation is overwhelmingly effective. So, yeah, I’m not optimistic.

    And for all of you freaking out about Chuba "overreacting", well no shit, he's not "reacting" to the t-shirt at all. The t-shirt is an excuse to go public with a grudge but with Absolute Moral Authority. 

    you seem to be sublimating

    Swandered is being pretty passive aggressive, but he won't come out and say what he's thinking

    Well, universities' football staff, may have a new way to fill holes, err, seats, in an empty stadium.?!

    In just 2 months over 30 percent of the number of Texas who died in the entirety of WW1 have died of covid19. Within a year it's sure to be far more. 

    Can we rename it Covid Memorial Stadium?

    As the actions/inaction of both the US and Texas during this time has been completely shameful and will lead to far more death than any foreign war America has fought (and possibly the civil war) the time for giving thanks is over and the time for feeling shame, anger, and embarrassment is here.

     

    Well, you got one thing right there

    Legally, it would just be easier for everyone to separate from the two private schools and WVU if the other conference just invites over the rest of these teams.

    Nobody cares about Baylor or TCU--not to mention those Pac schools want absolutely nothing to do with religious schools (see BYU forever snub from the Pac). WVU is too far away. KSU or ISU are what's left and ISU provides a whole different state and is an AAU institution.

    It would just be simpler to get the Pac schools to invite over pieces than it would be for the Big XII to get USC/UCLA and others to leave to come here. My guess is that a network (CBS or NBC) will lead the charge here and time this for the GOR expiring over here in 2025. If the Pac just wants 4 programs to not go any higher than 14, I suspect it would be the Texoma 4 or take out Tech for KU with the other three. I could even see a deal to invite over UT, OU, KU, and ISU, just to keep the AAU total higher for those in the academic leadership in the Pac.

    The big12 is the one in a position of power.  Why would they give that up and join a sinking conference.  This makes absolutely no since.  why throw a lifeline to bottom dwellers in another conference?  The big12's 1st&2nd tier rights makes 8 million more per school compared to the pac12's 1st&2nd&3rd tier.  This is freaking laughable.  Again, why would anyone in the big12 do this?

    Next season will be the 50th year in the same seats, so I'm like the Chinese and plan for the long term.

    Problem 1) I would eventually have to lose a bet. Not likely. 

    Problem 2) I would never allow the stakes to be as high as some random guy getting to assign my avatar. 

    Problem 3) @Fud is in deep shit on his Coburn vs Oromo bet. 

     

     

    refresh our memory on #3

     

    what's the bet there?

    You can tell he's well coached, as soon as the ball is snapped he stands straight up (so he can see over the lineman blocking him) and doesn't actually move forward for a few seconds so that he can properly diagnose the play. Then after playing patty cake with the small child trying to block him he kind of lumbers after the ball carrier. 

    I want to be the first to say, "We've missed you, old friend"
