  1. Ari is a 247, Rivals tier team beat writer that managed to get hired by a national outlet. He is very vocal in his dumb opinion of stars trump everything and when people point out how dumb this opinion is and use Texas as an example he doubles down and says Texas is a special case and he’s still right. That’s also why he has thrown in with A&M, Jimbo’s elite recruiting was going to turn A&M into an elite program and prove his thesis right, and we now see how that’s going. Most coaching staffs and ADs don’t want to talk about recruiting in general and they certainly aren’t going to sit down with a national write who is a “recruiting/NIL” guy so Ari can only talk to handlers and bagmen or programs that are insecure enough that they desperately seek any sort of media approval. Which is how you end up with the Cook A&M NIL bullshit, the Texas side ignored him so he ran with what ever bullshit damage control A&M fed him. It also doesn’t help that he is also thin skinned as fuck and gets upset when people call him out, and he seeks out the approval of takes. In short Ari Wasserman is basically just a national writer version of Billy Liucci.
  2. Bruh what the fuck are those scores? Not even peak Lincoln and a Heisman QB could win this spring game as an offense, like I get stacking board in favor of one side, but does Brett have such low faith in his Defense that he has to actively buff the defense scoring.
  3. I highly doubt this, in order for Petrino to pull off a coup he would need to be wooing some power players at A&M and thus we would be hearing some buzz around Petrino with shotS being taken at Jimbo from the Aggie media. As @closetojumping pointed out the silence from the propaganda ministry is deafening and it looks more like it’s March 1945 for the Jimbo regime and the Aggie faithful.
  4. Bruh what part of A&M athletics compares to the greatness of Chili’s southwest egg rolls and big mouth bites?
  5. I dream of an iPod loaded full of Nickleback, Halo 3 with 630,000 players in matchmaking and Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley lead Texas playing on a 75 inch projector TV.
  6. I fucking love Creed and Nickleback and all the other focus group rock bands of the 2000’s. Us baby millennials got a pretty damn good thing going for us right now and are enjoying our nostalgia kick.
  7. Is it just me or is there a lot of fans, media and even administrators who based on some of the things they say have talked themselves into the belief that the B1G and SEC aren’t sustainable and that they will be a reckoning and they big 2 will collapse and UT,OU, A&M, USC, UCLA will come crawling back and Networks will have lost their investments? Like I definitely understand that belief for college athletics as a whole, but the idea that the Pac 12, ACC will put last the B1G/SEC even in a meager form is just laughable able to me.
  8. Utah uses the Big 12 program blueprint to beat the shit out of PAC 12 programs that don’t give a shit with only UO, UW and USC being programs they need to actively try to knock off. They are a high floor low ceiling program just like all the programs in the Big 12, they are afraid of having a week in week our dog fight against teams like, OSU, TCU, Baylor, K state, UC, UCF etc instead of having 5 free wins from dead beat Pac 12 programs like Cal, Stanford, UCLA, Colorado, Arizona etc.
  9. You don’t make noise if you have the leverage. Remember how the Big 12 and Bowlsby howled to the media and anyone who would listen while Texas/OU/SEC sat silently.
  10. I mean they are right about Texas ruining the SEC, if Texas wasn’t joining the SEC A&M wouldn’t have had to leak the move to the press and completely blow up the SEC well laid plans of playoff expansion, media deals and conference realignment and pissoff the SEC main office and all the other conferences members. If Texas wasn’t joining the SEC they wouldn’t need to massively overpay for the 2022 recruiting class and spit in the face of every coaching staff in the SEC. If Texas wasn’t joining the SEC, A&M wouldn’t be throwing a bitch fit and trying to duck Texas with advocating for a 1-8 conference schedule that is opposed by all the power programs and ESPN, and they wouldn’t be openly talking about hosting a home game for a conference schedule that’s hasn’t been decided yet. If it wasn’t for Texas, A&M wouldn’t be the insane person making a complete ass of themselves and becoming universally despised by everyone involved.
  11. So it’s very clear that A&M is trying to speak Texas @ A&M into existence considering nobody but them have said anything about it.
  12. We leave in 2025, we forfeit 2 years of conference payouts and leave with out an exit penalty. We leave in 2024, we forfeit 2023 conference payouts, we owe the Big 12 our conference payouts for 2024z
  13. Aggy royally fucked up a master play by Sankey and the SEC. The original plan was to expand and renew the playoffs in 2021-2022 with ESPN and announce UT OU to the SEC in 2023 for a clean break in 2025 from the big 12. Aggy blew the plan up by leaking OUT early hoping to kill the move and now we have been left scrambling.
  14. The Big 12 still owns Texas’s media rights, that’s what all the negotiations are about and are worth way way way more than what the conference pays out.
  15. That’s Michigan’s and Fox problem, not Texas’s and the powers that be absolutely want OUT in the SEC/ESPN in 2024, to counter USC/UCLA in the Big 10/FOX. If you think there is some honesty and good sportsmanship here I got some ocean front property to sell you.
  16. We still don’t get it, the exit penalty for leaving the Big 12 is the loss of 2 years of conference payouts, Texas must inform the Big 12 that they intended to leave which they will do this summer if they can’t come to an early exit agreement, at which point the Big12 will with hold conference payouts.
  17. Texas and OU get none, that’s the exit penalty.
  18. No, all Texas and OU do is spoil the Big12 at this point. Imagine a UT vs OU Big 12 title game the entire narrative is going to be solely about OUT and the SEC the big 12 will be an afterthought.
  19. What are the penalties on canceling a home and home? Texas could really fuck Fox, play UM at DKR on ABC and then cancel the return trip to UM in 2026 so Fox gets nothing.
  20. I wonder if the UM and OSU games are now under threat, Texas at the Big House and Horse Shoe are worth 10x shitty non cons vs Tech and KSU I wonder if UT and OU are threatening to basically never schedule a Fox program again.
  21. They do realize that this makes both Jimbo and Owens look incredibly fucking dumb? Of course not.
  22. That absolute fuck load of money Texas would owe and the legal limbo Texas’s media rights would go into which would be a problem for the SEC and ESPN.
  23. In middle school a kid fell out of the drop ceiling on to my English teachers desk in the middle of class, turns out the drug dogs had showed up and he threw his baggy in the ceiling in the bathroom next door and fell through trying to get it back later. Then there was the infamous emo girl chicken burger incident.
  24. Getting stabbed and being witness to a homicide would have me trying to retire early too.
