    That's right.  The Big XII in the late 90s until the defections started was the best in the country.  They rolled in the SEC a couple of years after joining, even though they were midtable in the Big XII.

    That, and one of our RBs blew out a knee on their shitty turf.  And that "secure the bag" douche.

    Several RBs did.

    They got it started by lifting their skirts to the Big 10 while bad-mouthing the rest of the conference (see last paragraph).

    And then while their president was head of the conference board of directors, he was negotiating with the SEC.

    When they left every conference in the country was asking them to defer for one year (they announced in late September or October).  The Big 12 was going to give them a deal that save them millions.  But they gave a middle finger to everyone.  Big 12 had to rush WVU out of Big East and pay a penalty.  It messed up the Big East schedule.  Messed with just about every conference.  FSU even had to schedule a 2nd FCS school to fill the hole left by WVU having to change their schedule.

    And then they hired bowtie as their chancellor.

    They do have a high opinion of themselves as an AAU school.  But I looked at admissions this year since I have a senior.  They were no different to get into than the bottom half of the SEC and easier than Auburn, South Carolina and Georgia, let alone Florida, Vandy and aggy.

    Man, none of the teams in Kingsville's district were even on their schedule, let alone in their district, when I was there. Fuck, I'm old.

    5A looks about like the top division when I was in school (4A-there was B to 4A at that time).  All those city schools have moved down.  Districts 1-4, 7, most of 10, 11 & 12,  14-17, most of 21-24, most of 27-29.  Of course there are some new schools.  There are 10 Frisco schools when there was one tiny Frisco High when I was in school.

    According to Matt Stepp the last time they werent in district together was 1997

    Plano was with the Richardson schools for many years once they first made the top division in the late 70s.

    and the agros have gotten such a small roi on that cheating is what makes it amusing.

    although, an argument could be made that our four major infractions were pretty incompetent as well.  the only institutional control slap we got was in 87 when we were really, really shitty.

    2002 improper volunteer baseball coach seemed to pay off with a national championship.

    1982 improper ticket/recruiting inducement would have been for recruits that made an impact after 83 while wandering in the desert for a decade.

    1965 was pretty low hanging fruit.  one of our better decades though.

     

    Dickerson was funny on that ESPN 30/30 on SMU.  Said another school did the same thing as SMU but wasn't nearly as successful.  Story is A&M gave him a Trans Am and he kept it despite going to SMU.

    There was a hit on a run by Sunshine in the second half last night that looked real close to targeting to me. He lunged for a first down and some LSU dude - presumable a linebacker - took a running start and hit him helmet to helmet right on the hedge of the helmet opening and turned his head sideways. Didn't look pleasant. 

    I guess the differentiating element was the lack of the "launch" component which is why it wasn't called, but it sure looked close. 

    Laurence is pretty damn tough, I have to say. 

    No.  It was a Pac 12 crew.  There were probably two targetings by LSU that didn't get called or even reviewed.  The one on Clemson didn't get called until the review.

    Best single season for a QB I've ever seen. Obliterated a ridiculously tough schedule. Could have put up 49 on Clemson's D. Destroyed Bama. Put up over 500 yards on Auburn. Another 40 burger on Florida. Another 40 burger on us back before we decided it would be best to jump off a cliff. Set record after record. Vince has the best game of any QB though imo in terms of legacy. Hyped as one man against what was supposed to be the greatest team ever and he won. He was in-Vince-ible. He won what anyone with a brain will accept as the greatest game of all time. When this list is redone in 25 years or whenever they get bored next Vince will be in the top 10 as will Burrow once the anti-recency bias wears off (please tell me more about how Roger Staubach was the best QB of all time).

    Burrow really only played 2 years and one was mediocre.

    Those guys would have helped, but you have to have some pretty amazing corners on top of that, like 3 legit lockdown corners to be able to hold up against that WR corps.  Clemson is loaded, and they still had 42 hung on them.  The stars aligned with Brady coming in and having Burrow and this group of receivers, and 22 to hand the ball off to. That little fucker is such a major factor and he never gets enough credit. Critical first downs, huge momentum shifting runs, absolute beast at killing clock.
     

    LSU will be more mortal next year with Burrow gone, kind of like Clemson came back down to earth a little with the group that left them last year. Not sure of it was a case of the big head or just forgetting how young a Lawrence is, but I expect him to assert himself next year and have a Clemson right back in it. They have just stockpiled too much talent to have a big drop off. 

    With a mortal QB, Texas beats LSU.  Burrow is great.  Had a rough 1Q tonight, but settled in.
