  1. What the hell is your problem? I gave you a like, so why don't you remain silent like you were doing? I am sorry that I didnt know there were so many emotionally invested Dodds defenders, and conference realignment revisionist cocksuckers in here. If you do not share an opinion, it would be bigger of you to at least comment as to why you want to silently hate someone else's. Or better yet, maybe you should simply state your opinion without finger-fucking mine.
  2. I mean, if you want the definition of a troll post, just look at your own. You categorically dismissed and trashed a message board poster and a bunch of schools for no real reason, except for the fact that it makes you feel better about yourself to do so. I guess that we can all sit here and continue to pretend that it was not a better Big 12 when they were members, that it does not suck now, and that we have great prospects for member expansion going into the future. That makes the current situation absolutely perfect, and absolves Deloss of any fault in the matter completely.
  3. Compared to TCU, WVU, UH, UC, BYU, or whatever expansion candidates have been thrown out there?
  4. Again, this idea is either tremendously naive, or fantastically disingenuous.
  5. That is an overly simplistic characterization, only employed to avoid the obvious topic of discussion. He negotiated harshly with other members of the conference, to the effect that they thought their best option was to leave. Why not simply confess that the conference was pretty damn awsome, as was configured, and it would have been best to work with our business partners?
  6. I just gave you what you are dishing out. No need to cry about it.
  7. You can keep telling yourself this over and over while we continue to evaluate our shitty conference affiliation options. It does not make things any better for anyone, and does not align with, or reconcile, the observable evidence. What would have been better is an intact Big 12 conference.
  8. You need to take your orange glasses off once in a while, and take a realistic look at the situation.
  9. Do you think four universities just left the conference in a span of two years because of their own stupidity, or whimsical disillusionment? The Big 12 was a very entertaining conference, and could have been extremely marketable. Why would four prestigious universities just suddenly cut bait and head to situations that are not as ideal in the long run? You are blinded by your fandom, but I will not hold that against you. I just wish we could have handled things differently, because now the conference sucks and our conference options suck as well.
  10. Yeah, that is exactly what happened.
  11. They tried negotiating, then they left when they realized negotiating with Dodds was impossible. Dodds also should have realized that he was a member of a partnership of universities who were trying to market themselves as a conference. If he could not realize that, then that it is on him.
  12. I simply do not believe this, and it seems very disingenuous at best. The fact was that he often negotiated with conference members harshly behind closed doors, and then would publicly announce through the media that he gave them all a fair shot.
  13. This is probably a polarizing opinion, but to be fair, it was the shrewd negotiating and leveraging of conference members by Deloss Dodds that initiated the implosion of a conference that was, at the time, very marketable and entertaining. I will never understand why the AD's could not work together to make some money.
  14. 20 more years and they may sniff 1000. It is too bad they had to ride off into the sunset to never be heard of again.
  15. Obviously, Rebuplican backers and Russian bots (e.g. Bad_Teamate), who fund and enable the propagation of this story, were saving the story for the past 27 years in hopes that they could unleash it on the public at the appropriate time.
  16. Who says you cannot recruit OOS in a dead period while there is a global pandemic? All you need is a smile, some effort, and a can-do attitude, and you can make anything happen.
  17. Don't worry. My son says he will be flipping back to the good guys any day now. Deep down in the depths of his gym bag he has a three year old pair of Texas socks, and he really loves the Horns.
  18. In addendum: Adeleyoegie (aka my son's best friend at Katy Taylor/IMG) who now lives in florida sometimes, and the runningback (Henderson) from Virginia.
  19. For some reason the 'Rona has not really affected some OOS recruiting efforts. OSU is pulling kids in from all over the map. Real. Recruiting.
  20. With all due respect to the football recruiting genius of Ryan Day and Co., is there really any doubt that they are cheating in some form or fashion? I mean, really?
  21. So, will we have another poll that asks who we will vote for in the event that Bernie Sanders spontaneously dies? I think that would be a useful mental excersise.
  22. From Rivals https://247sports.com/Player/TreVeyon-Henderson-46049087/
  23. This. Of course, if there are people dumb enough to vote for Trump, then there are also people dumb enough to vote for the likes of Sanders, Warren, and Bloomberg.
  24. Anwar also mentioned that Okam and Lupoi were the two names he's heard regarding the defensive tackle opening. He went over Lupoi's resume in great detail in the article. Partridge out of contention for personal reasons.
