  1. Has there been a bigger disaster for any teams looking for greener pastures?  Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Arkansas and aggy?  No way Colorado even followed the money.  They lost money.  Nebraska, Missouri and Arkansas added funds but at what price?

    Yep, nothing between O Canada and the Gulf except bob waar so when it blows sometimes it gets a little crazy.

    The contemplation. I dig that. Was spending some time running along a gravel road in flyover country and the nearest town (population 200) was many miles away from the farm. Nothing but me and dried corn stubble and beyond that grassland. Any trace I might leave on the planet will be small and insignificant in the overwhelming bigness of the planet's life, however much longer that will be. That is okay, it is enough to have lived and known what I have known.

    Going back to your comments about the suitability of the land. My late FIL rode a horse to hs and was in college before electricity was available to his family farm. His mother passed away when my oldest was a baby and I lament that I never recorded her stories which were many and memorable. She actually lived in a sod house as a child. She grew up to become a school teacher and taught immigrant children who lived on remote farms to bring in extra money while her husband managed their own farm.

    Something in common.  My mother rode her horse from the farm in Missouri to the only school available to them in 1919.  My paternal grandparents lived in a sod house in the Texas Panhandle near the Oklahoma line.  I still remember the party line telephone.  Two longs and a short lol.  My grandparents thought they had it made when the phone company reached the farm.

    Nebraska is not a blue blood in college football. They used to be a blue blood but have been speeding down the path of irrelevance. Coming back to the Big 12 wont change that for them or the conference. 

    Let's remember what happened to Big Red.  Diploma check at the door upon entrance to the Big 12 began their slide to the bottom.  You had to have a HS diploma and some sort of academic "enrollment" to play.  They ran away and the final touches to an also ran was finished by the B1G.

    You're asking the right questions.  My first build here in Houston was 1969/spring 1970.  Two story, 2200 Sq Ft.  Moved in early April 1970.  Imagine my surprise when I found upstairs bedrooms hot as hell already in April.  Only one unit was placed for the entire home.  Of course we were only worried about the jacked up prices of wood shingles.  Was $10/sq and became $12/sq.  LOL.  It was a great neighborhood.  Sad to see it flooded in Harvey.

    I know I've been giving more sunny perspectives about CFB than most, although personally I never gave it even a 50 percent chance of happening in fall. I admit I was up to like 40 percent when teams were practicing last week. But I'm below 20 percent after reading the OU news below. Riley has been a leader on the virus front all year, and for them to just quietly announce practice is paused, Mo State game is pushed back into September despite only one positive out of 205 tests recently...notice the nod to "conversations across the country."

     

    You fell for it.  Riley just got his team a lot of extra practice no one else was getting lol.
