  1. I could take Perun’s excellent presentation on “How lies destroys armies” and replace Russia with Texas A&M and military with football and the presentation would still make prefect sense. A good program should not be whiplashing between dominant defense and offensive that’s just not how football works, either someone is lying or coaching staff is actively stacking practice in ones sides favor which doesn’t tell you anything.

    Now that’s a name I haven’t heard…

    Looks like as of last year he was still keeping the dream alive (and still somehow has eligibility). 
     

    He went JUCO after OU and then committed to UTSA but looks like he never enrolled and hasn’t played since. What a bust.

    God so many of those Tom Herman era recruits where just complete busts, falling all the way down to JUCOs and D2 schools.

    Agree, the B1G looks ridiculous right now.   I'd take quality over quantity.    

    They’re just recreating the OG Big 12 on steroids. Slamming two very different conferences together with larges egotistical programs at the top and a bunch of dead weight check cashers at the bottom.

  4. Will you stupid fucks quit regurgitating the FSU fraud theory. If that dumb message board crap is was credible I would have been able to sue Penny Mac for fraud when interest rates went lower than the rates of my fixed rate mortgage.

    I don't think it's panic, because the BIG would take FSU in a heartbeat, just like the B12 would take UW and UO, even if it means they go to 18. 

    FSU supposedly is on the verge of becoming AAU, but they would get in without it, since the BIG wanted ND for years, and they just got AAU last month.

    No other school besides ND brings more value to the BIG than FSU- another big brand, BTN $$$ increase, recruiting access, alum engagement in FL.

    If the BIG brings in FSU, Miami, Clemson, UNC and UVA, ND will be coming also, and the BIG now has a Southeast wing.

    It could also be that FSU has deal in hand with the BIG but is trying to get the SEC to take them by making a public show of the fact that they're leaving.

     

     

     

    Neither the SEC or B1G are going to touch FSU unless they know for a fact that FSU has it’s media rights free and clear. Neither conference is going to be dragged into massive legal dispute with the ACC and its media partners.

    Their lawyers apparently think they have a fraud case against the ACC due to Swofford and the conference knowingly misleading them with false statements and revenue projections.

    If they really announce a 2024 departure from the ACC in the next two weeks, we're going into realignment overdrive.

    2024 already has USC/UCLA and UT/OU on the move.  IF FSU and a bunch of other ACC schools go BIG/SEC also, combined with the first year of the 12 team playoff and the WAC10 potentially disintegrating, CFB is going to look like an entirely different world.

    Wild times.

    No a bunch of rando dumbassess on the Internet think the have a case, FSU’s lawyers know very clearly they don’t have a case.

  7. Look I am holding out hope that we are near the end of our decade long nightmare and we will soon be posting screen shots of other boards melting down about how they let some some white jag receiver go for 15 catches 230 yards and 2 td’s. Because god knows how many times Texas has made some opponents jag look like and All American with a career performance.

  8. Goddam, I fucking hate the Holier-than-thou be the bigger person bullshit that the Texas admin loves to jerk itself to. I already know that we are going to get so much shit and be mercilessly fucked with by this poverty club this season and our Admin is just going to sit there and take it because they think there is a single motherfucker in all of college football who will respect Texas for taking the high road.

    Lots of aggy getting drafted recently to spur the opposite effect?

    Mensa’s recruiting classes were abortions on a historic level, back to back #3 classes that  produce a single 1-3 round draft pick in Overshown in the late 3rd. Media narratives matter and Texas was able to out recruit A&M for the first few years of Jimbo, but more importantly when it comes to A&M shitting the bed Jimbo’s stupid fucking contract is what ends up stealing the lime light. Everyone focuses on the 90 million dollars for 5-7 narrative, the 2022 class has been put center stage but even that’s morphed into a do or die total program meltdown situation. A&M had double and tripled down so many times that while people look at Texas and see a terrible gambler, they look at A&M and say “If this dude loses this hand, he’s going home and pouring gasoline in his kitchen and suck starting a shotgun”. In an incredibly aggy way they have managed to dodge some serious criticism by making the situation so much worse that everyone is holding their breath to see what happens.

    They already clinched the SEC West, but a playoff berth was very much on the table. Beat aggy and Georgia and they would have been in. 

    LSU already had two losses with one of those being an absolute fucking beat down by Tennessee, before both A&M and Georgia both piled on the ass kickings, LSU was an average teams getting over hyped for beating a weak Bama. If LSU had managed to beat Georgia and that’s a big fucking if just like TCU getting in over KSU, UGA would have gone to the CFP over LSU.

    That shit is coming from someone on the aggie end. 

    ATM doesn’t have deeper pockets this go round and Jimbo doesn’t have any goodwill or buy-in left. 

    Simmons is mostly NIL, but he’s not going to be interested in playing for a loser program going nowhere. Shit would have to go sideways for Texas and perfectly for ATM and that still might not matter. 

    Now, will Simmons make sure he’s getting what he can even if there’s an idiot stalking horse, sure. 

    ATM is still fucking lost with the new landscape. You can be mad all you want. You are no longer the only group spending money and the SEC advantage has been nuked. On top of that, you have no corporate value to sell. Dumbfucks. 

    Texas views Simmons as a linchpin recruitment.  I’m so fucking scared that Billdo and Ritz Bitz have their feelings hurt. 

    “Now I have a machine gun. Ho. Ho. Ho.”

    Maybe it’s just that I notice it more with A&M but it seems that they do have an knack for identifying useful idiots and getting them to parrot what ever grievance A&M is currently wallowing in. Is it a case of they are the equivalent of the CFB FSB in that they are so good at producing bullshit that they can inject it into common discourse even though they fall victim to their own propaganda. Or is it simply that they are insecure enough that they compulsively seek out anyone who will give them a sympathetic take and shower them with appreciation, where as less insecure programs wouldn’t waste the effort.

    Jesus fucking christ I can't take it any more.

    Nobody gives a fuck about projected rivals.

    Nobody gives a fuck about mandated rivals.

    Would Texas EVER consider TCU a rival, projected, mandated or otherwise?

    Fuck all, Arkansas is a rival to the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. It makes no sense. Win. Lose. Compete. The hatred grows. That's how Rivalries happen.

    This mandated rivals shit is dumber than mud. You can't legislate rivals.

     

    Fuck me. Fuck you. Fuck the SEC for ever creating this NSACAR junior high crap.

    Fight me. 

    Fighting the mentally handicapped is frowned upon.

    Is Tarp an aggy alum? Wondering because it seems like he’s giving off vibes he’s had about enough sometimes. I can see him putting up with it if he’s a cult member. Either that or he hasn’t been able to get a bite on another job.

    Tarp is as redass as they come, but he is the Alfred Jodl of the Aggie general staff.

  14. Utah is just OSU, KSU or TCU in the mountains, they have a really good gig right now and I can see why they cling to it. They are a school that actually gives a shit, puts efforts towards its program with fan support and resources and gets to play the plucky underdog while the beating the shit out of programs that don’t care and only need to knock off an overrated USC or Oregon once every other year. They join the Big 12 and all of a sudden every week is a dog fight and their now everyone’s target instead of being the plucky little team trying to pull the upset.

    The Athletic recently put out a puff piece praising BV's no-visit policy.

    Ari Wasserman: How Brent Venables changed my view on Oklahoma’s ‘no-visit’ policy

     

    Ari Wasserman is a window licking troglodyte that regularly gets played into willing pushing narratives for other actors. He straight up gets conned into saying  pure uncut Texags copium because Loch and his ilk give him some access, I have no doubt that Venables just having a conversation with Ari and firing off a bunch of empty coaching platitudes was an out of body experience for Ari.

    I get why you don't care about playing us or the Kansas schools.  I don't understand not wanting to play schools that whose fans you interact with on a daily basis and have played for 100 years.

    I would love to be playing a more regional schedule against schools I dislike for old petty reasons and whose fans annoy me.  That's what make college sports fun.  I don't understand college sports fans who don't want more of that in their schedule.

    Drunk?  I made that post stone sober.  I was in perfectly fine spirits until that dickweed with an extremely similar handle to you came flying in guns blazing.

    We fucking hate playing those schools because it’s a lose-lose for Texas and OU, we beat the absolute fuck out of them and their fans are “ wow a bunch of a 5* stars beat a bunch of nobodies, Texas should always beat us, who cares.” If we but if we lose it’s “wow a bunch of 5* at blue blood lost to a bunch of nobodies.” UT/OU get zero credit for beating the shit out of big 12 and get clowned when we lose. Of course ISU/KU/Tech/ loves this arrangement because nobody gives a shit when y’all suck shit through a straw  for decades with but y’all milk the fuck out of the 1 in 10 times you manage to beat a bad OU or Texas. Both Texas and OU fans have grown to hate this arrangement because we can’t enjoy the season when we are playing not to lose instead or playing to win.

    Honestly, Meyer needs to fuck off. I think he's still salty about how we treated Herman. Him and the media want to hype Texas up to an impossible degree so they can shit all over us for falling short of the ridiculous standards they set.  

    You realize Urban Meyer fucking hates Tom Herman right? Texas unceremoniously tossing Herman into the gutter and then trying hire Meyer probably tickled his taint with joy.
