    The proper OUsux nomenclature is "we're handling it internally."

    E.G. "We watched a video of Joe Mixon punching out a co-ed. We will be handling his punishment internally."

    ...and, of course, the co-eds punishment will happen internally as well. - ou fan base, probably

    Mar is overweight, in his 50s, has a high stress job and lives in Texas. Average life expectancy for a male in Texas is 77

     

     

    The ravages of old age will deal with him far worse than we ever could. He has 10, maybe 15 years left tops

    And then he gets an in-home nurse to care for him in his declining years? Ball game indeed.

    No need to dive through the aggy dumpsters. It would be easy enough to duplicate at your neighborhood awards store.

    After they fire Jimbo, we should schedule nightly road trips to collie station to go dumpster diving for this. It should then be proudly displayed every time we play aggy to remind them of their perpetual shittiness.

    I'm going have to disagree with you there, amigo. No Longhorn needs to go dumpster diving. Have an exact replica made and bring it out after we beat them at Kyle field, our home away from home. Proclaim to the world that this is the original trophy gifted to Jimbo. Announce that this is the trophy that will not have a date amended until the aggies actually win a game against their big brothers.

    The dipshits will bring out the original, decrying the sips as liars, and that this is proof for all the world to see.

    On this point, I understand why forum regulars react to this kind of approach, myself included, but when new guys arrive, some suck and some are great.

    When I showed up on Shaggy, one of the first things I did was tell Jen Seastrunk that she was full of shit, that her sister was fucking street agent Willie Lyles, and that her nephew had his hand out. Posters were fawning over her and hoping she'd help Lache Seastrunk come to Texas.

    I almost got negged off the board and didn't give one fuck. It sorted itself out, but there were guys in that forum who seem like they're pissed at me to this day over the original nuclear bombing of the environment. How could I call out sweet aunt Jenny, the lying hypocrite, like that?!? Also, Willie Lyles created a handle and threatened to fight me through the Internet. 

    Anywho, what, uh, were we talking about?

    I believe the topic was your eternal friendship with Carl, sir.

    Raise your hand if you can do, basically, whatever the fuck you want at work and have truly shitty performance, and still make 85 million dollars.  

    Well, you had me until you mentioned 85 million dollars

    It’s probably partly true, but the money got behind buying the 2022 in early 2021 due to the excitement from the 2020 season. There were people involved with it all who were saying in January of 2021 that they were tired of fucking around with Bama and Georgia in recruiting. It had nothing to do with Texas at the time, although they were at least leery of Sarkisian as the new flavor. 

    Hey man, what in the fuck are you doing? First, don’t summon that imbecile to the recruiting board - ever. Second, the guy has no fucking clue about the actual program itself. He’ll just devolve into one of his stupid fucking rants about ATM in the 1920s. Finally, he’s in solitary confinement at the nuthouse. His privileges have been revoked for some time. You can’t beat the shit out of two orderlies with a keyboard without repercussions. Go pine for him on the football board. Christ. 

    In Randolf's defense, the orderlies were wearing maroon.

    “They’ve been great,” Fisher said. “We’ve had conversations about (the future). They’re excited about where they’re going, what’s happening and the future of what you’re doing.

    “We talk to them every day about it. As a matter of fact, two of them came up to me today and go, ‘I know we’re short, but man, we’re going to be a good team. We can still be a good team this year. We like where we’re going in the future.’

    “They like each other. They practice together. They spend a lot of time together and unify.”

     

    The only remotely true part of that bullshit is "they practice together".

    I would think, "They're excited about where they're going", is also true, but not in the way they meant it. Ha

    You can’t do this in employment law. As noted above, Jimbo likely has a contractual clause that requires him to be HFBC. Even if he doesn’t, re-assigning a senior executive (or HFBC) to meaningless tasks is called constructive discharge. Employee can sue for damages, which means anything contractually obligated.  In this case, the contract is crystal clear that’s the entire enchilada. 

    The only reasons people accept demotions or reassignments like that is if they don’t have contractual or other legal leverage (Jimbo does) or they have incredible loyalty to the organization (ha!), or they think their prospects on the open market will be hurt if they get fired. Again, in this case, Jimbo has all the leverage and no other reasons to accept reassignment. Either aggy keeps him as HFBC or they pay the full contractual terms. They have absolutely no contractual or other leverage. 

    If Weigman did have a concussion, was forced back in, and transfers out, they may well try to use that for a “for cause” termination. But it’s gonna get hella messy if they do. Jimbo’ll burn the place down. It may get them a discount on the buyout on termination though. 
    The potential concussion for-cause scenario, with a threat of using sovereign immunity (ala Leach) is an interesting one. The big problem with it is that using sovereign immunity (which may well hold up) will absolutely kill their ability to attract another high profile corch. If candidate X (let’s call him Burban) knows that aggy will welch on their contract and not pay contractually-obligated compensation by hiding behind sovereign immunity, he’ll require them to provide other security, like a bond or similar note. Any of those guys are going to be as well represented, or better, as Jimbo, and aggy will have zero negotiating leverage. 

    TLDR:  aggy is screwed. And it’s glorious. 

    I'll have you know that I had a constructive discharge this very afternoon and it was anything but meaningless, sir.

    Just adding another article about FOX

    FOX Blocking Oklahoma-Texas Early Exit From Big 12: Report

    By:  Bryan Clinton     October 14, 2022

    There have been rumors and speculation surrounding the timeline for Oklahoma and Texas’ departure from the Big 12 to the SEC.

    We have heard everything from them joining the league in 2023, to definitely gone by 2024, and both athletic directors pledging to stay until 2025.

    It appears that they might not have as much of a choice in the matter if FOX has anything to say about it. According to CBS Sports’ Dennis Dodd and Chip Patterson, the move isn’t likely to happen prior to 2025 due to FOX losing major inventory in Oklahoma and Texas, since it doesn’t have rights to the SEC brand.

    “Though there was a belief that Texas and Oklahoma may have been attempting to exit the Big 12 one year early in 2024, sources told Dodd that Fox would likely have demanded a return to make its future programming whole, including a top-tier selection of games years into the future given the marquee programs would have left its airwaves early. That’s beyond what would have been a potentially massive early exit fee the programs would have needed to pay the Big 12 directly.“

    This report coincides with a report from Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger that announced the Big 12 is planning to adopt a new scheduling model in 2023 and 2024 that features no divisions and protects rivalries like Oklahoma vs. Texas.

    The Big 12 is expected to continue with nine conference games and a conference championship that includes the top two teams in the league.

    The two-year format is set up for each team to play all others at least once. The Big 12’s best rivalries are expected to be played both in 2023 and 2024. Those matchups are not yet official, according to Dellenger, but are likely to include Oklahoma-Texas, Oklahoma State-Oklahoma, Kansas-Kansas State, TCU-Baylor, and West Virginia-Cincinnati, with the latter being a regional match-up and ties back to the old Big East.

    The Big 12 is expected to then drop to 12 teams for the start of the 2025 football season, although there is speculation the two could be gone in 2024. However, no matter what it looks like both teams will be in the Big 12 in 2023, as the SEC has already released its football schedule and it does not include Oklahoma or Texas.

    The two schools will owe the Big 12 $80 million each when they leave the league, and to leave a year earlier would cost them an extra $100 million.

    Can someone explain why there is still an exit fee when the grant of rights will have expired?

    I wrote something at lunch and then threw in the trash bin. I liked the write-up, but it didn't fit the mudhole ethos. Mudholes are usually appropriate when we realistically can or should win a game and everyone on the boards is gnashing their teeth. It's hard to muster an honest view that Texas has any reason to win on Saturday, so shaming a reader into manning up on their outlook for the game is disingenuous. I don't know, maybe I'll take another crack at it. 

    Someone who has shown himself to be staunchly supportive of the current head coach to the point of proclaiming him SeventeenWinSteve as well as insolently denigrating Alabama under Saban, requesting that they "Gargle your Balls", can do better than this, sir. We're all counting on you.
