  1. hahaha a trick play against dallas can be a run up the middle
  2. Shipleys! (especially the Colt McCoy owned ones)
  3. that was a dumb ass penalty there
  4. damn Andy must have eaten Travis' nuggies
  5. https://www.usatoday.com/videos/sports/ncaaf/2013/04/16/2088997/ Texas A&M uses DJ at football practice
  6. maybe these teams need some body positivity to keep them going
  7. that was not what happened 1. the AAU places a value on "competitively awarded" research.....land grant universities get statutorily awarded research dollars from the feds based on being a "land grant" university with those dollars awarded based in a large part on the agricultural productivity of the state the university is in......a very very very large number of AAU members are also land grant universities and the AAU has never considered their statutorily awarded dollars as part of the evaluation criteria.....because getting those dollars has nothing to do with the quality of research of the university and also because other universities that are not land grant do not have the ability to compete for those dollars......that was simply an argument that Nebraska used to cover their ineptitude....and more so their inability to take those land grant dollars and use them to build out infrastructure that can then gain large amounts of competitively awarded life sciences grant money......with the AAU placing a high emphasis in life sciences grants because they feel those often have national and international benefits (along with engineering and medicine) 2. Nebraska made the claim that not having a medical school hurt them (something similar to what Iowa State just claimed).....but there were issues with this false claim as well.....Nebraska - Lincoln is one of only 2 major public universities in Nebraska with the other being Omaha and the other public schools in the state minor players of under 7,000 enrollment......there is the one medical school as well.....there was NOTHING that stopped that medical school from being merged in with the Lincoln campus (similar to how aggy has all of their medical components across the state all under college station since about 2012)......but the state never saw fit to do that.....and the reason for that is because that medical school is not a major producer or research it is more of a teaching facility......and more importantly the AAU evaluates universities against "peer universities" (both inside and outside of the AAU) in part based on having a medical school or not having a medical school so in the past prior to the Dell Medical School opening up Texas would be evaluated against PUBLIC universities like Berkeley (that does not have a medical school), or against aggy (that in the past did not have their medical schools under the college station campus) or against Iowa State, Oregon, or Colorado (that do not have a medical schools).....in the case of Texas the medical school is new so that plays a part and more so Texas has plenty of other factors in their favor to remain well within the AAU even now being evaluated against "peers" with medical schools or in the case of private schools Rice is not evaluated against Vanderbilt or Duke or Tulane because they all have medical schools....they would be evaluated against any AAU members that are private without a medical school (Cal Tech) or outside of the AAU schools like SMU, Baylor, Tulsa, or similar private universities in the case of NU because they were already being told to improve or face removal and because their medical school they COULD have merged was not very research productive the only thing that would have happened if they had merged it would have been a new set of schools to evaluate NU against especially in the AAU and all of those schools and their medical component would have been an even harsher comparison for NU....thus they were out the AAU of course uses many other evaluation criteria that are not based solely on research and are not based on total research, but the end result was NU had ab out a decade warning to improve and they did nothing and they were out
  8. I feel bad for Jr he has been a good guy his whole career and I really do not see his wife as that big of a bitch either....his little brother is a giant bitch though and him and more so his wife taking up for that fuckhead is stupid and does add to his wife being looked at poorly it sucks his dad had to pull this bullshit a week before the game though....and that is a hard looking 53 he has "been around the block" and he looks like he needs some help....his last DWI was in 2019 and you would think he could try and control his shit better before the big game, but clearly not
  9. ESPN/Disney is in a bad spot they have an older demographic for ESPN that are sports rabid, might have some that are "technologically challenged", and others (like me and a lot I know) that are not at all technologically challenged, but generally see the streaming aspect of things as kind of a pain in the ass relative to TV......and at the same time if I am going to stream then I am going to use one of the 200 free bootleg streaming sites out there and not pay shit (and get a 1,000% better quality stream that the shit ESPN currently puts out) on the other hand Disney has a younger demographic with kids or some slightly older kids that are "screen addicted" and probably can't even use cable TV and might not own a TV (or it collects dust) and that thinks streaming is everything some of the older and more rabid ESPN sports fans live in some rural areas that have shitty internet even today or some live in older (and still nice) built out places that still have shitty internet because it cost so much to come in and upgrade.....these people can still get cable TV or they can get sat coverage and that works just fine for their sports addiction.....most of them do not give a shit about Disney content the Disney people are probably in newer developments that were built out with internet or at least internet in mind or a lot are in very high density places that have been upgraded......but a lot of them don't give a shit about ESPN....and of course they are used to ditching streaming services at the drop of a hat, signing up and binge watching then dropping, being offered all kinds of incentives to switch or to stay a customer and they are loyal to jack shit all while being combined that ESPN/Disney infrastructure and revenues are predicated on forcing masses of people to pay a lot of money for a large amount of shit they do not want AND cable and sat companies rolling over and going along with it now cable and say companies (horribly shitty run companies which is why somehow as near monopolies several have gone BK in the past) have finally figured out that people are dumping them because of the cost of paying for shit they do not want and they are pushing back.....far too late though.....and then there is ESPN making it clear as day they are going to go around "cable companies".....but through ass backwards luck "cable companies" are not internet companies in most areas and doing half ass well at it.....so ESPN/Disney still needs them or more so needs their future streaming subs to have good service from them but ESPN/Disney and the cable (and even more so sat companies that are NOT internet providers) are now clearly at odds and ESPN/Disney need to navigate all of this while getting their massively shit filled inflated cost structure under control and trying to figure out how to still fuck people into paying lots of money for shit they do not want in a long term basis.....while clearly moving to fuck over those they still need to depend on for revenue some in the short term and others long into the future really the ramifications of being assholes for 20+ years and just not giving a shit other than tossing out shit and forcing people to take it
  10. here he is 80 pounds, 800 chin pubes, 30 years, and no National Championships since 1939 later
  11. that is the "NCAA"......that is not including conference media deals, bowl game revenues, playoff revenues ect that $1.2 billion would be better compared to only what the NBA brings in for their playoffs not even the regular season
  12. yea I don't think this will work out how people think it will Charter and ESPN just went through a long negotiation about cramming channels on lower tier cable packages like the ACCn and the SEC SEC SECn and there have been other pushes against it before.....several systems took the BTN off their lower tiers several years back the ACC is sitting there thinking they are going to get $1.23 per sub per month for all of California, and Texas based on Cal, Stanford, and SMU now being "in state" and there is no chance that cable companies are going to let that go on forever even if current contracts call for it now I am seeing a lot of reports that all the magical "streaming" is going to shit too because companies are doing the exact same shit....putting 400 channels no one wants and no one gives a fuck about in their packages and streaming charges are getting as high or higher than cable bills.....and ESPN still sucks complete cocks at streaming they are probably the worst of the worst and they think they are just going to bypass cable companies, cram all their shit in a package and either offer it themselves for $20+ a month or make streaming companies take all of their shit people are dropping streaming left and right already and even more are going with the periodic sign up when there are sports seasons they are interested on or others are signing up and binge watching the good shows and then dropping it a couple of months later and doing other shit with their money if you cut out 88 plus D1-A teams from D1-A you can count on a very high % of people just not signing up for anything ESPN at all and their revenues will go to shit....of course some will say "well those 40 in the highest division will just take the bulk of the money", but as it is now with "cramming" of channels the bulk of the money for ESPN is people that do not give a fuck about sports at all....start losing rabid fans from 88 teams and it is going to be an issue college sports is not like major leagues and really a lot of things about major league sports are pretty shitty and getting shittier....not really something to emulate especially with ESPN in the lead of making it happen
  13. ButtFumble

    I'm sorry guys

    I missed what happened.....probably thankfully.....but I think you take prozac orally not anally
  14. so this is a camp to help them get more fat right?
  15. we probably need to go ahead and reserve this kid a screen name on here and being Australian perhaps start a gofundme to get him some punting training so he can come be a punter at Texas
  16. https://texags.com/forums/5/topics/3438030 I present one of the dumbest takes in sports history Unpopular opinion re: Bama They're not that great a program, it's not a destination job, and with Saban leaving they will fall into relative mediocrity for the next decade. Pre-NIL, Saban could have taken a lot of programs to the success he has brought Bama. He was arguably on his way at LSU before bolting to the NFL. He just so happened to land at a school in Bama who had historically been great a few generations before he got there, but if he had ended up at Georgia or Tennessee or Texas or even here he could have replicated the success he's had for the past 16 years. Now Bama has to compete with everyone else having the same advantages and opportunities that they do, and without their legendary coach. Meanwhile, Smart has Georgia on their way to becoming the next dynasty and they've already shown they can adapt to the new landscape in college football. I think Bama's run at the top is over, and the rise of the next era of college greatness will be achieved by schools who have not traditionally been the blue bloods and perennial favorites.
  17. these fools have been doing this long before Deion coached and pretty much before he was even a pro......his whole college career was predicated on flash and getting to the NFL to do more of it cRappers, ballas, playas.....they have been going fucking broke for 4 decades now they just do it "bigger" and go more broke and in bigger debt I am not saying that pro sports is run by saints (other than Jerry 🤣 ), but they have tried time and again to get programs in place to teach these dumb fucks how to manage money and they even have the "retirement" now.....but their shitty friends and relatives fuck them over as much or more than anyone with their dumb ass clothing brands, wing restaurants, bars and clubs, and other shitty investments and then there is the fact that many of them cannot keep their dick out of anything that moves and insist on raw dogging all of them and have no concept of fertility.....and their pullout game is oppositely as shitty as their on the field/court/studio game....and of course the popping bottles and making it rain hell some fashion brands have come under fire for trying to distance from some associations with flaunted wealth and buffoonish consumption of their products
  18. I was hoping for Andy Kaufman even though he is dead
  19. the worst part is these sluts will get $10,000 a month or whatever and will be broke AND in debt about time the kids turn 7 and he gets out of pro sports and is also broke they will not out a damn dime away, will spend it all, and will run up credit cards, car loans, and mortgages they can never afford.....and will of course have no education and no job skills either
