    No shit, Sherlock, but I'm not the one posting through the thread shitting on schools, nor are you or David Dennison

    "remember that one time when we had a legendary talent named VY and 38 guys who were future NFL players who overcame Mack Brown's coaching?  Well that's the reason we're better than Iowa State."

    Yeah.  Color me unconvinced of that particular line of fart smelling.

    Yeah whatever.  I replied to you outside the context of the larger conversation because a lifetime of dealing with aggies has trained me to bristle when fans of schools that have never passed within so much as whiffing distance of a championship dare to belittle the, admittedly few and far between, national titles that my school has won.  But I do thank you for the reminder that I should not feel pity for Tech's relegation.  I sometimes find myself wavering, and thinking that throwing you a seasonal OOC bone is the right thing to do, but then along you come and reassure me of the right course of action.  So, thank you, and good day.

    It’s not necessarily what I want but you have to recognize that fox and the b1g just went national and are going to look to add brands that they can sell nationally

    I'm sure they'll look.  If we were to actually agree to it and change plans, we'd deserve exactly what we get.  ESPN is just better at this than Fox.

    If the Big12 were to merge with the Pac12 (as opposed to adding a few members), that seems like the sorta thing that could release Texas from their anchor to this clownshow conference.

    And an even more idiotic idea emerges!  There's a very real possibility that we might have all three of our historic rivals on the schedule every season, while at the same time playing in the conference that ESPN has brainwashed America's youth into believing is the best football conference in the history of the universe.  Quit looking for ways to fuck that up.

    Fox and b1g should bag nd and then do whatever it takes to steal TX and the gooners before the sec ink dries.

    Fuck. That.  Christ!  It's like some of you spend your free time examining all available opportunities to fuck up a very good thing.

    The Texas brain trusts should have waited a year before counting the new money. Could have been a member of the higher brow B1G instead of the Clampett Conference.

    Fuck that.  HS kids think the SEC is the place to be, so we're good where we're going.  Until Bama comes back down to Earth the B1G is gonna continue sucking hind tit.

    This may be the most idiotic idea on this thread, which is saying a lot.

    How committed are the horns and ou to the sec? If the big whatever gets Notre Dame, what if we and the land thieves joined? Maybe add in UVA or some other school that gave a shit about schooling. That’s five to six elite traditional powerhouses. Make a west pod with UT, OU, USC, UCLA and Nebraska (just to fuck with them) and that could be some fun fucking football. Add in ND as a “permanent rival” and I’d be down. 
     

    I’m know this will never happen and UT would be blamed for ruining something, something integrity but I’m buzzed and a man can dream.

    I am but a humble caveman, but by my read of the landscape the image of the SEC in the minds of today's yutes as THE place to be if you want to make it to the NFL is unshakeable.  Changing tack now and joining the Big10 would be a tremendous mistake.

    I was working at a global EPC company with more than 50,000 people. Nearly everyone in the office had bachelors or masters degrees. A couple of the Louisiana guys (LSU grads) had no problem dropping the n word. The old religious psycho (can’t recall where he was from) would refer to Obama as a monkey and people from the Middle East as towl heads.

    O&G is chock full of very conservative people. Some really hateful people.

    My friend is HR at a manufacturing company and they went to Pride Night for the Astros game (that was the game that was picked prior to being pride night, not because of the night) and god damn did she have a lot to say about how people reacted.  Not just homophobic slurs in general, but worse towards gays of color. 

    Sucks that y'all have to deal with that.  Maybe you should look into IT.  We're the United Nations of professions.
