I can answer part of this. Until 1912, a touchdown was only worth 5 points. 

Two safeties to get to 4 points is weird, but was more common back when teams only ran the ball and formations were tighter to the line of scrimmage. 

That's interesting about the TD being worth 5. I didn't know that. I assumed the same as you regarding the reasons for more safeties.

My Dad (Mizzou Class of 1933) attended the Tigers/Longhorn game at Columbia in 1932. 
The Horns pummeled them 65-0.

That's really cool.

If you are talking at the University of Tennessee, you are correct. If you are talking about the state in general, Vanderbilt bids you a fond hello.

JFC. I looked up the Liberty Bowl and Music City Bowl results, looked up Texas vs Memphis (we've never played them) and even MTSU (never played them either) and thought "what am I forgetting?". At no point did Vanderbilt even register in my head and I've walked their freaking campus. 

Texas has, in fact, played 5 times, as far as I can now tell, in the state of Tennessee. Texas is 1-4 in those games, with the 4 losses coming in 1899, 1905, 1906, and 1925. The win, as mentioned, came last year in 2024.

--They played two random games against Missouri in 1907 and 1916, losing both of them with some of the weirdest scores ever - 5-4 and 3-0. How many CFB games have finished with a score of 5-4?

prior to 1912 a touchdown was 5 points so in that 1907 loss in columbia, missouri scored a touchdown, missed the pat, and we had 2 safeties

of note the 1912 ncaa rule changes created the modern end zone - prior to that a forward pass caught in the end zone was a loss of possession

and for completeness, the point after try dates to 1898

there was all kinds of weirdness in point values for scores prior to 1912, and the wikis are poorly researched

this link seems to have the most complete history of scoring:

Texas has never played a football game in Tennessee as far as I can tell, so this will be a first. 2-1 against the vols, all in Dallas. These two haven't played against one another since 1968, so it will have been 58 years by the time they hit the field next year. 

Nashville last year vs Vandy

So throughout all the information blitz yesterday did they give any indication of when the actual ‘26 schedule will be announced?

We civilized folk tend to make plans 1 year or more in advance….

Just buy a refundable ticket to Knoxville every weekend in October (except OU) and the first two weekends of November and then cancel the ones you don’t need. Simple. 

You don’t need one for the third Saturday in October (Oct 17) when Bama will be there.

and the chances of them hosting Bama and us on back to back weeks I’d put at virtually zero, so cross off Oct 24 as well. So take your pick out of Sept 26, Oct 3, 31, Nov 7 or 14.

A Halloween night game in Knoxville would be entertaining.

how’s this:

sept 5 Texas St

sept 12 Ohio St

sept 19 UTSA

sept 26 at LSU

oct 3 Florida

oct 10 Oklahoma (away)

oct 17 Bye

oct 24 Miss St.

oct 31 at Tennessee

nov 7 Arkansas 

nov 14 at Missouri

nov 21 Ole Miss

nov 27 at Texas A&M

Short memories, huh? 

Jeff Lebby, piece of human shit that he is, played a key role in institutionalizing rape enablement for the football program at Baylor. When the daylight started to hit what those motherfuckers were doing, he was one of most aggressive deniers and Art Briles apologists in this entire debacle. Not only is he an okie shittalker from way back, he supports the rape of young women and then threatening them if they dare speak up. Fuck him, fuck Baylor, fuck OU and fuck Mississippi State for hiring him. 

Yeah, I remember. The way I read the note, it sounded like Briles would be coaching at Miss St. next year.

Fuck these pathetic losers. Yeah, we're Darth Vader and the Death Star and Emperor Palpatine all rolled up into one big ass steer with big ass horns. Fucking losers. Everyone one of their AD's had a fucking vote on how this was going to go down. 

Well, technically, I think Sankey made TAMU’s vote for them.

When the Baylor Rape Scandal hit, Texas made a motion at the B12 meeting for Baylor to submit the Pepper Hamilton report (which was supposedly only oral). The league approved the motion. Baylor ignored it. 
 
Texas had a legit reason for the request. Baylor players had an initiation for new players where they would roofie a coed, and run a train on her while she was functionally unconscious. When Texas hosted Baylor For games, Baylor could have had sexual predators in its retinue. 
 
So, yeah, Texas is within its rights to ask questions about Briles and even Lebby. I imagine how MSU receives them depends upon the Bulldog’s record.

I grew up with/played football with Jeff. His dad was our coach in HS. He and his family are exactly the kind of shitty white trash you'd think they are.

For you non-rugger types... Rugby scores five for a try that succesfully is touched down. The conversion kick scores two. Penalty and dropkicks score three. A try and a conversion gets you seven, just like American Football. Conversions are harder in Rugby, because the ball is placed perpendicular to where the touchdown is accomplished, so a TD near the corner means you're kicking from near the sideline, thus 5 is not at all unusual score.

at 1145am on wednesday 21 july 21 bjork found out about the move and called talkiebird, who shit himself and ordered bjork to hold an impromptu presser before the lunch break was over; talkiebird called zwerneman who found bjork and they started a 1:1 presser about 115pm iirc

this is the video where bjork bumblefucks around about aggy wanting their own playpen and basically crying in public that it's not possible and it's their right to stop it and blah blah blah

from that moment until 1045am on saturday 24th, texags was quadding themselves and guzzling every jizz jar in sight

at 1030am on the 24th, snakey called talkiebird and told him the vote was going to be unanimous and to shut the fuck up, which is the only explanation for the 180-degree pivot that looch made at 1045am that morning when he initiated the ministry disaster recovery plan; by 1pm that afternoon the masses were inline and 'yes sir, may i have another'

i know that several of us were on the surl watching those events on the 24th and the immediate unanimous conclusion was snakey told talkiebird how it was going down and to eat a bag of dicks

Kind of.  Although, I have to say, I still don’t know who in the fuck “talkie bird” is. 

That Friday night, ATM announced an emergency board of regents meeting for the following Monday. The topic publicly stated for the meeting was something like “to discuss conference options for Texas ATM athletics”. 

At the time, there was no exit fee in the SEC. So ATM was implying that they might actually consider leaving for greener pastures, which was laughable. 

Sankey called them the following morning and told them “get right or get fucked”. Get to closing or hit the fucking bricks, dummies. ATM, bluff called, sent Liucci and his cronies out to spin from there. 

I had two friends directly involved on the Texas end narrating this shit in real time. I relayed it to this board as it unfolded, with a breakdown of where this was headed that Friday night after those rubes played their perceived ace in the hole.

SEC wanted Texas since Texas was Texas and SEC was the SEC. So basically A&M is the exception to the in state rival handshake agreement, they just happened to get here first and who gives a fuck.

Talkie bird? That’s some authentic frontier gibberish.

not kind of

what i wrote you just confirmed plus you added the friday night events which i didn't include because they were not part of snakey telling sharpe the vote would be unanimous

that part is important to you because you reported it

do you happen to know what page of the aggy thread corresponds to wednesday morning 21 july 21?   in the offseason we should go back to the realtime discussion to ensure you receive accurate attribution in an @aggypedia entry

talkiebird is sharpe

It’s posts like this that make me think, “maybe ignore makes the most sense here”. 

I don’t give one fuck about attribution in some thing no one knows about besides 3-4 people here. “aggypedia”? Who fucking cares or knows about this? That’s randolph duke shit  

“kind of” means you weren’t telling the whole fucking story. 

Your personal nicknames for random shit makes your posts generally indecipherable.

This isn’t the aggie thread. Some of this is becoming bandwidth drain.
