  1. Its honestly kind of amazing that Tech hasn't won an outright conference championship since the Eisenhower administration, and that was the Border Conference against a murders row that included Hardin-Simmons, Texas Western (UTEP), and West Texas State (now West Texas Aggy in Canyon)... Guess we shall see if Joey "Big Britches" Mcguire can deliver one before he gets ran out of Lubbock by Tech Admin/Donors/Craig James (K5H) type
  2. Not sure I'd be bragging too much about only 3 time zones conference when its not even technically true (Mountain West been doing it for years, B1G will be next season, shit think CUSA is/will be 3 time zones too) And especially thinking of future B1G and whatever CUSA will be, 3 time zones not exactly great for conference continuity/unity... Yormark seems sharp but definitely not infallible as some of my Tech fan friends would make him seem...
  3. Lubbock is a great place to spend a weekend in the fall around a football game... as long as you don't mind being called racial epithets, Aggy, and homophobic slurs and don't mind having various objects thrown at you including frozen tortillas, tortillas with batteries in them, stale tortillas, tortillas with bodily fluids on them, tortillas with green eggs and ham, beer bottles, scat, etc...oh and STD's ...hand up...that last one might be on me...
  4. Let's just call the spades spades here: Bedlam is over because OU is leaving the Big 12 is true. You know what is also true? Okie State is gladly taking an opponent with near 80% winning percentage over them off the schedule and replacing it with a softer conference slate plus 1 token P5 OOC game. I wouldn't be in a huge hurry to put that near insta L game back on the schedule either if I was Mike Gundy and Okie State. Side note: Mike Gundy seems to have gone from a spry, clean cut "I'm a man, I'm 40" to "I'm a hobo Santa Claus with great lettuce up top still somehow, I'm 55" very quickly:
  5. So if the ACC is hopping on the CW...where the hell does the PAC think there games are going to get airtime? KUBE 57 out of Baytown?
  6. This but also OU very slyly let Texas take most of the heat for the SEC move, did the yokel "Oh well we just gotta go along with this..." and the media largely ate that shit up. I mean can you really stay mad at cousin cooter?
  7. Not a realignment-ended rivalry but just an example that if theres a will, theres a way to keep playing each other is Florida - Florida State. Nearly took an act of legislature but that game gets played and they have never shared a conference. Maybe in the future Okie State and OU will figure something like that out but clearly not any will to do so presently (Gundy with one less near auto L on the schedule and all)
  8. Obligatory Fuck Bud Adams and his cunt daughter Amy. They are 100% going to wear those against the Texans and its gonna be really hard for me not to advocate for a riot or burning the place down when they do.
  9. Stop profiteering off of a dead man who you screwed out of a job and bunch of money, Texas Tech challenge level: impossible
  10. Thats the newish university President Dr Damphousse, not Dick Nixon. Hey now get outta here with that factual mumbo jumbo. Though I would make the argument that while envious of what UTSA has done in such short span, think they are still just 1 bad football coaching hire and a few lean years away from all that melting away back into the city commuter school whenst they came. Interested to see if Traylor sticks around more than a season or two in the AAC if big money from Power conferences comes a knocking.
  11. I mean if the Big 12 wants to get boots back on the ground in the 512 once Texas is gone I think I know who Yormark should call:
  12. Full disclosure: as a degenerate football fan I'd still watch those games just really don't want a school I actually care about to be playing weeknights. Sucks ass for fans.
  13. Don't think they are in any way related but have actually been all the way across Starr County before. Grandparents wintered in Mission and theres a picture of me as a kid in the 90's with one foot in Mexico and one foot in the USA on top of Falcon Dam. Prob would have been thrown in the Border Patrol Gulag had I tried that today.
  14. Nothing like Texas Tech vs Iowa State live from Aimes at 7:30pm on a Friday night....
  15. Are they really having this big of money problems up in the Bronx?
  16. Mariners fans having trouble coping with getting owned and swept last year, but this is a new twist: literally putting money in Jim Crane's pocket by buying Astros merch.
  17. Could you get us yesterday's lottery numbers while you are at it? Thanks.
  18. Think I've seen enough, Threads is here to stay
  19. Want to echo this, my brother and myself took our Dad on a Drydock tour for Father's Day and it was awesome:
  20. In some alternate timeline theres an executive at GM that was chomping at the bit to rename the C8 the Fiero...god bless that imaginary executive
  21. Had been having some pretty healthy debate with a friend who works in the Lege about why Texas couldn't do more to provide targeted relief for renters as part of this property tax relief boogaloo including what other states without income taxes have done, and incentivizing landlords to provide the documentation needed to give their renters relief as a condition of them getting property tax relief. His standard answer was always "well we don't have an income tax so we don't know who to send money to" and lo and behold when there some political will to do so (keep all the fixed income, old blue hair, rural folk voting red) the state is gonna try and figure out how to do it... who'd have thunk...
