  1. I think you are right to a point and I am not sure that even the officials at Texas where aware of the changes that were about to happen with court ruling in favor of OU and UGA. Among the things that killed the SWC were geography, backward thinking, and then the members turning on each other with the cheating scandals in which over half the conference on probation. Leadership in the SWC offices did not see the potential impact of television with the conferences now having control of the tv contracts and the wiling partner in ESPN which had begun in 1979 and pretty much was lumber jack games, strong men contests, and college basketball. Florida State and Miami were two schools who benefited from the ability to use television as a marketing tools and it seemed like FSU would play anyone, anytime, anywhere, as long as that game was broadcast on national television, often on ESPN. MIami was a small private with no real history of success who used the exposure for winning a surprise NC that was a byproduct of the poll's deciding the title and a bad Osborne decision to garner attention and they used the media coverage to create a brand out of basically nothing. Their facilities were shit, they played in a dump, they didn't always draw or have huge budget, but TV built a brand. The SWC was run by idiot who couldn't changed partnered with the Cotton Bowl run by Hoss Brock who was dumber and more resistant to change. Remember that the the big 4 January 1 bowl games were Sugar, Orange, Rose and Cotton. The Fiesta was bowl played around Christmas with no history and no big conference tie in until that lawsuit and some ambitious progressive thinking people while the Cotton Bowl didn't change and the SWC went to shit. Baylor and SMU were trying at football, TCU didn't try until Wacker and then he blew it all up with the NCAA. Rice, well Rice is Rice so to say the privates were being dead weight isn't completely true. The SWC was going to fail and I don't blame for Texas or anyone else looking for a way out. The one that should have made it was the Big 12 and I will let people debate that one as we were wandering through various conferences during those days. I do suspect the same problem that plagued the SWC killed the Big 12 and that was a lack of future vision.
  2. Burn it all done starting with Lorne.
  3. After Mike Renfro and then Phillip Epps it has been a very long dry spell. Derius was productive last year for San Diego and I think Jack will be productive for Las Vegas, but Quentin was always a body catcher and I suspect Savion will be a bust because he is more of an athlete than a receiver.
  4. Patience, this is just going through steps needed to part ways with Ward and I am curious if this has anything to do with the $2.75M Ward is supposed to be paid this year.
  5. You obviously never saw Jalen's run after the catch on a screen for a touchdown against Baylor. You know what they say about only needing to watch one play on film......it gets your assed fired in the NFL unless you win Super Bowls.
  6. Claiborne was a great defensive back and a phenomenal athlete. I could be wrong, but I thought he ran track as well as played football at Texas, played halfback for a year or so, and had a decent NFL career.
  7. Can we have someone else read it for Rod? I am not sure I could take 20 minutes of that voice.
  8. Who the fuck is John Rooney? Wasn't that the name of Paul Newman's character in Road to Perdition?
  9. Winning? Winning what? Besides, you are blocking me so I guess this is good bye.
  10. So trees protect the earth from meteors?
  11. Show me where I knocked DKR because you can't and if you go back you will see I asked you a question which you decided to answer with a smart arse reply .
  12. Quite a few 2027 kids on that list. Either the offensive line in 2026 isn't very good or there is some damn talent in that 2027 class.
  13. You forgot to mention who Bob Shipley roomed in college. Isn't that a requirement?
  14. TCU switched to lavender in 1971 under Jim Pittman who died on the field in I believe Waco, they kept the lavender under the next coach who almost died in a car crash and only lost a foot. When he had to quit due to the injuries from the car wreck the next coach switched back to the traditional royal purple but that was Shofner who was fucking terrible and he damn near killed TCU football so it isn't the shirts as much as the players in the shirts and the coaches from my perspective.
  15. When you look at his numbers for this year, he was money in May and June. 18 games pitched, just over 20 innings of work. and a 1.35 ERA. Then he fell off the fucking edge of the world, since he came back in August he has gone 5 innings, given up 14 runs and that is a smooth 21+ ERA.
  16. Long. long way from sketch comedy. The football part? This is a remake of Johnny B Good if it were too bizarre for Hitchcock and Del Toro.
  17. You do realize that this is the internet version of Ray thinking about the StaPuff Marshmellow man instead of simply thinking about nothing. You basically just inceptioned Espada.
  18. You are right, Rimbo called DKR a proper traitor which to some is an oxymoron. Additionally, if being a Sooner is bad thing and once a Sooner always a Sooner we once again come back to the DKR conundrum. That is the problem with absolutes. As far as Gabriel, give him time, never know what happens in the future.
  19. Simply tell any Sun Devil to try play defense on 4th down next time. They can bitch all they want, but bottom line is make a fucking play on that one 4th down and none of it matters.
  20. Heck, I am still mindfucked about the continued insistence of playing Melton and not DHing for him.
  21. So they took out AJ why?
  22. Exactly, I also want to know how the fuck Spencer broke a thumb in the outfield of batting practice, but that is more along the lines of how Jeff Kent really got hurt and the real story of Carlos breaking ribs. Berkman already admitted to getting hurt playing flag football and Alou was a dumbarse on that treadmill.
  23. I wasn't the one who said fuck all Okies when the man whose name is on the stadium is an Okie but keep spinning away. Have you ever thought about a career in politics because you seem to be a natural. That or an ESPN studio host.
  24. Why we can't trust AI. Give them 1 which means they have been killing it for those 130 years.
  25. Yea, nice of you to try to turn that back on me when you were the one who said fuck all Okies, I hope for this transgression Jeff Leiding finds you and delivers a season opening kick off against Arkansas hit on you.
