  1. Late night Rutgers...
  2. If Texas ends up in Charlottesville, I'm going to have to drive down for that one. That would be fun.
  3. That's the genius of David Pierce. Make sure we do not get a number 1 seed to avoid the possibility of playing a Q4 team in the tourney.
  4. Who is O'Neale? The roster has Robert Sweeney as number 64.
  5. I mean... it was thrilling for me as a Texas fan at the game, but it was not actually that close for most of it, if I recall correctly.
  6. Michigan is going to start selling booze in the Big House:
  7. UVA and NC State are playing a non-conference home and home in 2025 and 2026. Probably not realignment related, but you never know.
  8. Texas posted the tweet below and then deleted it - seems likely that Quinn is on the cover. https://x.com/TexasLonghorns/status/1790774870055309628
  9. My understanding is that ESPN/ABC is maintaining the A rights package, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. TNT's package appears to be going to NBC and Amazon.
  10. It looks like Texas-USC, A&M-Arkansas, OU-Mizzou, Tenn-LSU, Auburn-Miss St, Ole Miss-Vandy, Bama-Florida, and UGA-Kentucky are the home-home "rivalries." Not sure what the reasoning is other than vaguely matching up the better teams.
  11. Obviously if they were winning championships it probably wouldn't matter, but El Paso is the 91st ranked media market (behind places like Champaign, Shreveport, Charleston, etc.) and not close to any others that El Paso would probably draw from. No one in Houston/Dallas/San Antonio probably watch them, even when they are good. They would be outside of the conference maps for both the Sun Belt and the MWC, especially the Sun Belt: They're not that far from UNM, but the MWC already left UTEP behind once (along with SMU, TCU, etc.), so I doubt they would want them back.
  12. Bama gets the night game against their cupcake opener while the team that beat them last year (and higher ranked pre-season) gets to pan sear in the August afternoon sun? Help it make sense.. They weren't going to put the Texas game on ESPN up against the A&M-Notre Dame game on ABC because they think those games will likely have a lot of overlap in viewership. They gave Texas the "better" TV time slot for viewership, but it is obviously not better for people going to the game in person.
  13. It's weird that they seem to be doing three home-home rivalries in men's bball and just one non-rival in women's bball. Is the women's season generally shorter than the men's?
  14. College Station Week 1 - Notre Dame on ESPN/ABC is too big a draw.
  15. The problem is their location. They left the WAC for CUSA before it collapsed (or left Division 1) and their location is just not good enough to get an invite anywhere else (and their athletics aren't good enough to make up for that).
  16. I wonder if rivalries will eventually match permanent opponents in football or if that will be separate. Texas - Arkansas, OU, A&M A&M - LSU, OU, Texas OU - Texas, A&M, Mizzou Mizzou - Arkansas, OU, Vandy LSU - Arkansas, A&M, Ole Miss Arkansas - Texas, Mizzou, LSU Ole Miss - LSU, Miss State, Auburn Miss State - Ole Miss, Bama, South Carolina Bama - Auburn, Miss State, Kentucky Auburn - Bama, Ole Miss, UGA Kentucky - Bama, Tennessee, Vanderbilt Vanderbilt - Tennessee, Kentucky, Mizzou Tennessee - Kentucky, Florida, Vanderbilt USC - UGA, Auburn, Florida UGA - Auburn, Florida, USC Florida - UGA, USC, Tennessee
  17. SEC announced home/away bball games (no dates yet): https://www.secsports.com/news/2024/05/2024-25-sec-mens-basketball-conference-opponents-announced We play Arkansas, A&M, and OU home and home and the rest are either home or away. Barnes comes to Texas, we go to Beard.
  18. Not a great trajectory from a program standpoint: Kentucky to Texas to Cal to Long Beach State.
  19. Crazy that Mitchell didn’t get drafted with so many WRs going.
