    I'm surprised UT isn't in the Top 10 and that TCU is in the Top 25.

    7 SEC teams - it must mean more

    USC is low too, same with Miami.  OF course all three programs have been dogshit and all three locations are full of transplants in locations with a lot of shit to do.

    Yep. I’d argue we are more diverse here, but the other side is muted.  That silencing is exacerbated by its embarrassing actors that most recently occupied the White House and currently occupy Congress. I don’t care to comment because I have nothing to say.

    This one is pretty close but on the other side of the fence. 

    It's a hodge podge of a shit show for sure.  And if you judged us based on the CD, yea, we're pretty much Berkeley, which I know is far from true.  I'd say UT football fans are pretty evenly split in fact I know more on the right than the left.

    The PAC 12 commissioner meeting with Bowlsby feels like a professional courtesy. Feel him out, confirm he’s a an empty suit and move on. If the PAC 12 can work out a “scheduling alliance” with the Big Ten, there’s no need to associate with the Irate 8. They’d get better games and EST and CST games. 
     

    Tech needs to cut Baylor and TCU loose and do what’s best for Tech.
     

    Ditto for Oklahoma State. They owe the old Big 8 teams nothing. 

    Kansas too.  They actually bring something to the table for the B1G.  The St. Louis  and KC market.

    ESPN buried Texas 10 to 11 years ago when they got them to agree to the Longhorn Network and broke up the original BIG 12 to let the SEC get a bigger footprint in Texas recruiting..

    Texas and OU joining the SEC is just the final outcome of the plan ESPN put in motion back then.  You are right, they did not have much choice except to join the SEC or ACC because of ESPN... Texas (powers that be back then) was playing checkers while ESPN was playing chess.  

    ESPN was all about ESPN.  ESPN stopping our move to the Pac prevented Fox from having a strong foothold.  B1G blew it this go around by thumbing their nose at ou.  Now, the SEC is Thanos.  This imbalance is because of ESPN and the B1g's actions/inactions. 

     

    I wanted to leave last go round, but could I blame DD for wanting his own network?  Guess not.

    Orgeron will not be the coach at LSU this time next year. Why walk into that kind of uncertainty?

    Ask Sterlin Gilbert about that, lol. I suppose they know at the end of the day they can easily get a job elsewhere, and LSU goes on the overall resume.

    I mean ask everyone that jumped on the Herm train last year as well.  Just blame it on the HC shit show.

    It also leaves out those who tear down goalposts after beating #1. You are losing against all odds victories in generally less than thrilling seasons for those type of teams.

    And the whole discussion as to who is or is not rivals. Texas fans may not consider Tech, TCU or BU rivals, but they treat us that way. That brings about intense, season altering moments.

    It’s interesting about the toothless NCAA point comes up as it largely the SEC that exploits that. In my mind, no doubt they want to control it all. They forced Texas and OUs hand. Join us or we’ll bury you.

    I don't want anything to do with these schools.  Fuck em.

    Yeah.  I think the benefit of a scheduling alliance is primarily financial.  The Big 12 could probably help WVU's recruiting efforts when it eventually expands.  Cincinnati is a pretty obvious addition for them.  UCF would plant a flag in the state of Florida.  

    West:  Tech, TCU, Baylor, Houston, OSU, KU
    East:  Memphis, WVU, UCF, Cincy, ISU, KSU

    Something like that wouldn't be terrible competitively or with respect to recruiting footprint.

    The SEC dropped the hammer with OU and Texas. Any conference scrambling to react to that is foolish, the SEC has all the cards trying to raise the stakes only plays into the SEC hands. The push back on the playoff is a perfect example, Sankey firing back the current status quo is fine and the SEC benefits either way but trying to torpedo the playoff expansion only hurts the other conferences.

    Yep.  B1G could've stopped this but they thumbed their nose at ou.  There's nobody else to blame.  Us and ou were willing to talk.

    Tech, Baylor, and TCU are best friends because it might be the smart play if none of the P4 come calling. Any of the 3 would piss on the other 2 if given the opportunity by a P4 league. They/We just haven't been given that opportunity yet. 

    It’s like the four ugly band geeks hanging with each other.   One will bail as soon as Cindy Mancini comes long. Leaving the remaining three on the sidelines while you’re teaching the jocks and cheerleaders the African anteater ritual

    "One unsurprising dynamic has emerged from Texas’ defection: The leaders at Baylor, TCU and Texas Tech are talking on a daily basis and working closely together to figure out what’s next."

     

    What in the ever-loving fuck is Texas Tech thinking?   Let the tiny private schools die on their own vine.  Holy shit that's stupid.

    subterfuge and espionage.
