  1. At least they are trying. More power to them.
  2. Add Texas St. and that would be the Party in the USA conference
  3. Between West/South Texas and North/East I'd take the W/S all day long everyday. There are plenty of fine people on all sides but if i'm honest there is something about West Texas folks and many of those small towns that i find endearing. At least imo. That is the only reason i am not overjoyed at the possible impact this move will have on them. That said they will manage and live to fight another day. They are survivors. The Tech tards that want to make this personal can pull their pants down and go sit on a cactus.
  4. Fk you Jay, you magnificent nerd bastard! CDC is a salesman and every sales guy knows that the best time to make a sale is when you just made a sale. Ride that wave CDC! Get back to work!!!
  5. I didn't even know Spurrier was still alive. Up yours Steve.
  6. Per this article Ole Miss and Vandy didn't vote or against ags. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/839029-the-real-reason-texas-am-is-moving-to-the-sec-pride

  8. No, just you. Also that is not our opinion its that of ESPN and Fox.
  9. Yes. Don't be simple minded. Just because your team is needed doesn't mean they aren't overpaid. Willingness to pay your team 39 million instead of their worth, 9 million, makes TX/ou gracious and your school subsidized out of necessity, hence a freeloader. Its another reason Nebraska left. The wanted even more freeloading than TX/ou were willing to afford them. So they decided to get some other dumb cuck, B10, to pay their welfare. The gall. Lastly, you don't know shit about fuck about Texas' business dealings with SEC so crawl back under your rock.
  10. They are all mad because all the schools of the ir8te hover at break even or are at a loss. Imagine having to find another 20-30 million on the fly. Realizing you were living above your means and took on major debt, Baylor/Tech, makes people do crazy things.
  11. If this is true, stated differently, UT/ou by remaining in the B12 over the last 10 years afforded all the schools in the B12 2.4 billion dollars in tv contract money, outside our own cut, and 5 billion dollars to the Waco, Lubbock and Ft Worth economies and jobs. Were they grateful? No, they bitched then and enjoyed mocking us at every turn. I'd prefer that they just said thank you...
  12. I was on a business trip to Chicago mid winter once. After the trip i decided to treat myself as I rarely fly 1st, alone, on domestic. So I upgraded, upon my return home. As most know the flight was delayed, i hate O'hare, and we finally board only to get told they have to take extra time to de ice again. The fa gives me a hot coffee and then offers a hot towel. It was freezing inside so i know outside must have been on the cusp of grounding planes. As i put the cup of brew on my lips and pad my face with the hot towel i turn to look out my window seat only to find a guy staring right at me. He was obviously freezing his ass off and looking at me like i'm the biggest douche on earth for padding my face with a hot towel inside the plane. It wasn't a glance. It was a full on gaze whereby the juxtaposition sent him into a full on daydream. You know the image. Where the person is standing there with a cigarette with an unclosed mouth hanging from their lips. It was awkward but I couldn't help but chuckle at all the choice words he probably had for me in his head. Even I called myself a dick, put the coffee down and returned the towel. I was reminded to be thankful and kind to others and flew home.
  13. If he is enrolled at osu then he isn't a HS student. Why couldn't he do that in Texas also. Makes little sense. I thought NIL was college students only.
  14. Some of these dumb bastards left in the ir8te probably think Bowlsby is actually helping.
  15. The movie The Insider hit on this topic. To this day that movie has one of my favorite lawyer scenes of all time...by fellow TX alum Bruce McGill no less. "Wipe that smirk off yo face!" Love it!
  16. I think i understand your points but help fill in the gaps, if i don't, as to why its personal. Is it just that TX/ou left the conference for more money or is it that your school stands to be negatively impacted by the loss of money? Serious question. You keep stating the first but i think it is more the latter. If the first, then i would argue that good partners would have treated TX and OU more fairly, as defined by them. In other words not equal revenue sharing which occurred but not to the degree that was needed. More than that Fox refusing to up/renew the contract in May certainly made it glaringly apparent that TX/ou were no longer in the same category as UM/OSU in B10 or Bama/SEC only because of the company they keep, irate 8. So what does one do when your job is to compete at the highest levels? If the latter than please note that Fox now values the remaining 8 tv deal worth 9million per school. Quck math says 39-9= 30 m *8 240 million. So Texas and OU provided to the other 8 schools like ISU 300 million richer over the last ten years. Also Baylor, TCU etc.... So i ask again. Are you mad that we left you behind for more money or that you no longer participate in what TX/ou afforded you? I think i know the answer. We still have to share equally in the SEC. I think it would have been wise for the 8 to be more pragmatic years agao. It may have helped them, maybe not.
  17. Which one of you magnificent bastards is going to post this over on Texfags.
  18. Not buying it. The first and most logical response to your argument is that UM and OSU already make the most money. B12 TX/OU were a distant third. That will never sit well with any school that strives to be at the top especially that arguably is more valuable than a UM. Furthermore, you really don't know that UM and OSU aren't thinking as you detest. Someone else posted another article on another thread that there was more UM and OSU smoke to the SEC than Texas. Values has little to do with it. Michigan men molest people also.
