  1. I finally watched that Depends commercial through the end (wasn't ready to get out of my seat yet). Always assumed they were saying "No" to a pizza or donut shop but nope, it was to a tattoo parlor.
  2. Also, there used to be a phone app that let you tune in the audio for a TV channel on your phone. And it would let you adjust the audio synch so the audio was pretty close to the TV, so that lips moving matched words spoken , as closely as possible. I used to use it for listening to some games. Been awhile though and don't remember the app name.
  3. Did you ask them to turn on the TV sound closest to you? Most sports bars will do that for ya.
  4. Is that the second person tonight who's first catch of the season ended in a touchdown?!
  5. These announcers suck pretty bad So does the audio that keeps cutting out all day long
  6. Thought he had another year. Nope, already a three-year player, okay thanks guys. Would it be smarter for him to come back another year under a high-powered offensive team and prove that last year wasn't a fluke?
  7. Is anyone surprised that Ollie Gordon II isn't in the portal? https://247sports.com/player/ollie-gordon-ii-46096695/high-school-244833/
  8. Thanks - I sort of figured it had something to do with concussions. But it doesn't really look all that much more protective, so I wasn't totally sure.
  9. What's that weird helmet that Roschon is wearing? I've seen a few of them lately. They look like a "wrap" or something.
  10. Those are some gas station $0.99 cent looking hats
  11. That's a nice looking building. Fancier than the average building found in Texas and most other places in the US. It does look like someone bricked a bunch of sonotube though.
  12. My prediction/hope We play tOSU and Georgia next year, so those will be revenge games for one team or the other. Hopefully for them! Would be crazy to play Georgia three times in one year. And potentially six times in two years?! I've got a feeling they're primed to be our next "big" rivalry and I'd love to see that happen.
  13. Is it a new dog or one he's had for awhile? The game day where he talked about his dog dying, that was a rough one for me. My 100lb big boy is going on 13 y/o now.
  14. Fuckit, we can't bring ours, then ban Uga too (because we'll play Georgia again). That, or let's just bring a slightly smaller Bevo XVI.
  15. Well, that's a random ten year old video that just got bumped into a 2025 recruiting thread
  16. Jerryworld should be the site for the National Championship game, with it being more of a central location to the rest of the 48 states. I wonder why that isn't already a thing. I asked the AI about it. ------------ Jerryworld, or as it's officially known, AT&T Stadium, is a spectacular venue, but it's not used for the College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship game for a few key reasons: * **Bidding Process and Rotation:** The CFP National Championship game location is determined through a competitive bidding process, much like the Super Bowl. Cities and stadiums across the country put together proposals to host the game. The CFP then selects a site based on a variety of factors, including stadium quality, infrastructure, hotel availability, transportation, and the overall experience offered to fans and teams. The goal is to rotate the game among different regions and high-quality venues. * **Desire for Neutrality and Variety:** The CFP aims to provide a neutral site for the championship game, similar to the Super Bowl. This ensures that neither team has a home-field advantage. Rotating the game among different cities and regions also allows more fans across the country to potentially experience the event. AT&T Stadium would give the Dallas-Fort Worth area more championship games than the CFP would like in its rotation, as the stadium frequently hosts the Cotton Bowl. * **Other Major Events at AT&T Stadium:** Jerryworld already hosts numerous major events throughout the year, including Dallas Cowboys games, the Cotton Bowl Classic, major concerts, and other sporting events. Adding the CFP National Championship to its schedule could pose logistical challenges. * **Financial Considerations:** The financial arrangements and revenue-sharing agreements between the CFP and the host city/stadium are crucial factors in the selection process. The CFP likely seeks the most favorable financial terms that benefit the organization and its member conferences. * **Indoor vs. Outdoor Preference:** While not a hard and fast rule, the CFP has shown a slight preference toward playing the game outdoors if weather conditions permit. This is a nod to the traditional aspects of football, although the practical benefits of indoor stadiums are undeniable. * **Date Availability:** AT&T Stadium would have to have the date of the championship game available. Due to the large amount of events held there each year, scheduling is quite complex. **In summary,** while AT&T Stadium is certainly capable of hosting the CFP National Championship, the game's rotation policy, desire for geographic diversity, bidding process, and logistical considerations mean that it's just one of many potential venues considered each year. It did, however, host the first CFP National Championship in 2015.

  19. We're about to give the SKAT bus a flat tire
  20. Just to add a little perspective, the first two games were on ABC (free TV) and ESPN. The second two were on TNT/MAX ($).
  21. Well, that'll bring a guy down for sure
  22. "Locked on Big 12" are big time Texas haters.
  23. Their QB and o-line are better Beating UT would change their program trajectory Enough good ones to give it a listen
