    The thing about the SEC is that there are more teams like Texas that get everyone's extra attention.Β  Maybe not rivals, but any time OU or Texas or 'Bama or Georgia or LSU come to town, the faithful will be extra amped. The benefit to there being so many top targets is that you won't always get their best shot, because it's impossible/exhausting to get "up" that often during the season.

    In the Big XII it was Texas and OU and that was all. Maybe Nebraska back when they were still Nebraska, but we slayed that giant.

    Except for aggy and Piggie, it will be unusual for a team to play even 3 of those 5 in a single year.Β

    True on that. Β But for most SEC teams, they have other teams they care about more. Β Besides Okie, Ags and Arky. Β 

    LSU is going to care more about Bama. Β Bama has several others they care about more. Β Same with every other school. Β 
    Β 

    They won’t be preparing for us in the summer. Β Or holding out questionable players the week before so they’re healthy for us. Β They won’t make their season by beating us. Β We are currently a jihad game for the other 9 of 9 teams in the Big 12. Β We won’t be for 12 of the other 15 teams in the new SEC. Β 

    I’d bet that even before we play all the SEC teams, we’ll be in every team’s top 2 or 3 hated opponents. It won’t get a whole lot easier for Texas in that regard.Β

    Christmas is for kids. Β I don’t give or receive gifts from other adults. Β In my family everyone has a charity of choice and we all donate to each other’s charities whatever you would have spent on a gift. Β Before we came up with that system a few years ago I told them all that if they buy me anything they are going to have to take ownership of some random item from my house to make room for whatever item they gave me that I would never bought for myself. Β  Give me another bbq thermometer and I’m giving you my old used spatula. Β Give me a coffee table book and I’m sending your ass home with that lamp I regret buying a few years ago.

    From my own kids I only ask for experiences, even something simple and cheap like movie tickets for us to see something together or a gift card to a nice restaurant for us to all use together. Β Β 
    Β 

    My wife and I (mostly I) tried to push the charitable gifts between adults thing about a decade ago. It didn’t catch on, so we started making donations to our kids’ (age 24-30) charity of choice in addition to gifts. It still hasn’t replaced regular gifts. We’re about ready to ditch the whole concept and donate the whole amount to the charity of our choice.Β 

  4. One (of several) problems I see with wind turbines is that once they wear out in 25-30 years, the operators will declare bankruptcy unless they receive free federal money to replace/refurbish them.

    I won’t take the sustainability movement seriously until they embrace new nuclear power technologies. And I’m a guy who has recycled seriously for 35 years, composts everything I can, practices β€œalmost” 100% organic lawn care and gardening, and only bathes weekly.Β

    Might have been the most balanced called game this year both sides got some freebie and some bad calls but I think nothing was intentional, just everyday incompetence (which is a welcome change of pace for Texas fans).

    The mere fact that they called penalties against Texas’ opponents for a change creates that illusion.Β
