  1. I’m fascinated by the mindset of doubling down so many times after being called a dumbass repeatedly over the course of a few days, then sitting down today and actually deciding it’s time to do some reading and see what this talk about Texas to the SEC is all about. I know this is a message board, talking out of your ass is half of the point, but holy shit. It’s kind of unsettling to see his (weak) mea culpa and realize he wasn’t trolling.
  2. What Sydney said, but also this can’t be right. Even being explicit that we’re leaving the conference at the end of the GoR term doesn’t make us a hostage without a vote or say in anything for the remainder of the term.
  3. When looking up UT's record vs. Ole Miss I got curious and checked the all-time record vs. the rest of the conference. We have a winning record against every school except two, anyone know who those two are? Probably not who you think:
  4. Love it, bring on the shit talk. This is going to be fun. It probably wasn't too hard to choose pictures for that tweet, they only have a single win each against Texas and OU. Although to be fair they've only played OU once apparently.
  5. Doesn't do much of anything to make the Big 12 viable in the long term so I'm skeptical but we'll see. Out of curiosity though, what are the rules for adding teams to the Big 12? Do they need TX/OU 'yes' votes to get them in considering we currently have to posture that we'll be in the conference until the GOR expire in 2025? Is playing ball with adding members something can use to leverage our earlier release at a smaller payout?
  6. I kind of agree and there probably is a universe where things could have worked out. Like people said above, bad leadership as well as a thousand little decisions and mistakes killed it. So it goes.
  7. New nickname alert! Dude is working hard to make "Evil Twins" happen, but I'm not sure it will stick. Doesn't have much punch to it, imo.
  8. Wait, is this a bit that I managed to miss in the flurry of activity?
  9. This is the thing...if you have any value independently you’ll be fine. Things will get reshuffled but you’ll find a landing spot because you bring something to the table. These teams that have been allowed to freeload in a P5 conference for decades and apparently feel like it’s their god given right to free-load indefinitely are hilarious. Get fucked Baylor, you are a net negative to the entire state. If it weren’t for Ann Richards I wouldn’t have thought about you once in the last 20 years, except when driving through Waco. And that thought would be, “god, this is a shithole. oh yeah, Baylor is here”.
  10. I grew up in East Texas, all the SEC fans that I know are the ones from rich families that didn’t have the grades to go to Texas so they went to Miss, Arkansas, or Bama. Good guys, but bro-y as hell and came back with Deep South accents they didn’t have when they left. Texas girls that left for an SEC school were invariably very hot.
  11. By the end of next week it will have actually have been the ags idea all along.
  12. Actually A&M is totally embracing this move, the Monday meeting must just be to talk about how excited they are to show those sips what SEC footbawl is all about.
  13. Looch keeps pushing that narrative hard . "We are a different team than 10 years ago and the horns are going to find out". It's so funny to me, the best SEC team they ever had was their first one where they were most like a Big12 team. Roster full of players recruited to the Big12, Kilff Kingsbury air raid offense and they managed to beat Alabama and smoke OU in the bowl. They had another high water mark last year aided by a joke of a schedule. Aside from those bookends what evidence is there that they are any different at all? They lost to a middle of the road K-State in 2016. Oh, well that was pre-Jimbo. They needed Jimbo to barely beat a short-handed Oke-State (who Texas also beat) team one season ago. The other common opponent that season was LSU who they lost to by 43 points. Deep down they know it's bullshit though, which is why they are fighting this so hard.
  14. Pretty clear posturing that I guess has to be done. Nobody saying it believes it but you go through the motions with these things.
  15. Think the trivial shit that drives you nuts thread is in a different forum. How could you possibly give a shit about this
  16. Weird, no way they would take that pay cut willingly. Doubt there is anything to that (yet).
  17. Athletic article https://theathletic.com/2724083/2021/07/22/sources-oklahoma-and-texas-might-declare-their-intent-to-leave-soon-but-it-could-take-an-awkward-long-time-from-there/?source=user_shared_article Some good info here about timing but it kind ignores the incentive the remaining 8 will have to jump at any chance to join another conference. Sure they want to fuck us but they aren’t going to risk missing out on a chair when the music stops to do so.
  18. Funny that the Big12 admins were apparently blindsided, have no idea why the move is happening, and have been unable to talk to officials at OU or Texas but they do have an opinion on whether a move is imminent or not.
  19. Disagree, but also McMurphy’s source was saying they don’t think it’s a done deal that Texas and OU are leaving the Big12. Immediately after a call about the conference’s future that we didn’t even bother to join.
  20. Ha, I guess Baizer posts here, I didn't realize that. What about Bryan Curtis, you must be lurking around here somewhere. Tap into those old ESPN sources you have and give us something.
