  1. I can't stand him, but Booger McFarland brought up Kentucky and MSU in his analysis as well when discussing Texas year long performance. Fans here argue about the "entire" body of work, but seem to want to gloss over our struggles against every. Single. Team. without a pig, schooner or bearcat mascot. Hell UTEP is 2-10, ahead of only SHSU in conference USA and we beat them by 17 fucking points at home.
  2. Proven winner and problem child loser in the same hat. I get your broader point but think there are better examples. Day would be my first. The OSU fans truly wanted to fire his ass after losing to Michigan last year. That has to stick in his craw. I think a pay improvement at Texas could potentially get him to leave. (I'm using him as a hypothetical here folks) That said, imo, the pressures at Texas are no less dramatic and guard rail to guard rail. So, let's say hypothetical he comes. If the fan nuttiness drove him from OSU what on earth would lean someone to believe Texas wouldn't do the same. I can devil's advocate with the best of them. 😘
  3. I'll never defend OU but fuck the G5 in their ass. Tulane getting in over Texas is the real travesty here.
  4. I don't recall anyone here crying about Alabama or FSU not making it, but maybe I just missed those threads.
  5. Hell, FCS narrows their 129 teams from 13 conferences down to 24 teams for a playoff. I figure with 4 conferences and 67 teams a plan can be squared away pretty easy. Copy and fucking paste.
  6. That's where they want to go
  7. I think Lane was probably just incentivized to go to LSU by the prospect of trolling Mardi Gras with coach Cajun. Hell, there's probably a Surly member involved in the case 4Loko! IYKYK
  8. How dare you suggest Texas take a financial burden off the shoulders of aggie.
  9. I can agree with your broader take on the board, but I've gone on record multiple times saying I never wanted Lane at Texas. Caught a good amount of grief for it, and I personally find LSU's gamble on Lane a bit of a relief.
  10. Oh, we are in agreement. The cluster fuck that is LSU extends to the entire state which could very reasonably and accurately be described at GTA 6 Vice State. Chicago likes to give that region a run on graft, but we all know the real winner.
  11. Are you trying to say escalation of the consistently failing WOD the US has been waging since before Nixon to a international fight with an entire country is pointless?
  12. I wasn't getting snippy dude. I found it humorous that you "predicted" with such confidence that Bama would defeat Auburn. Auburn always finds a way to keep that game close then snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Last night it was a refusal by Auburn players to hold on to the ball. Perhaps they are sponsored by a KY Jelly or Vaseline, dunno but it was definitely a very War Eagle type of problem.
  13. I actually fully agree withe RBG and Immamacs projection potential of Lane at Texas and think it's true for LSU. He could be getting the Tarmac treatment in year 2 or 3, or could go on to win 7 national championships. It's a high risk high reward choice and I really can't think of a better suited school than LSU save perhaps the hot mess that is Auburn.
  14. I can't disagree but my view is a variation on yours. I see him more like the philanering husband/wife who parties a bit too much and doesn't get along well with the in-laws. Yet, despite knowing all that some future husband/wife marries them with the "they've changed" mantra. Or... maybe I'm just projecting based on Texas' HC. I dunno.
  15. I sincerely appreciate the education on the topic. Thanks.
  16. That is a really nice high level encapsulation of the broad aspects of this with some history and the future. It's something you can share with uniformed curious folks with no specific political team bias. Thanks for sharing.
  17. Do you trust the Catholic Church more than Nigerian or Utah MLM, cause I sure as shit don't.
  18. Big XII did it too.
  19. I need to confirm by looking it up, but if Duke wins the ACC can 2 G5 schools make the CFP? Am I understanding that correctly? Surely not!
  20. Virginia is, imo, the most fraudulent team in the top 25. I could see Duke winning very realistically, and maybe convincingly. I don't have the same disdain for the Big XII as the ACC as a fraud, only because I think the ACC and their part time conference mate Notre Dame are a complete house of cards level of fraud. Enron level, MLM fraudulent.
  21. Suck it ponies... Lol Duke playing in the ACC champ game. That conference is comically fucking bad.
  22. How the fuck was that NOT a chop block?!?
  23. I, for one, absolutely appreciate and respect their relentless effort to never give up combined with their ironic need to find a way to lose. It's impressive and honorable.
