  1. 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.
  2. Wait, is this a bit that I managed to miss in the flurry of activity?
  3. 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”.
  4. 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.
  5. By the end of next week it will have actually have been the ags idea all along.
  6. 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.
  7. This killed me
  8. 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.
  9. Pretty clear posturing that I guess has to be done. Nobody saying it believes it but you go through the motions with these things.
  10. Think the trivial shit that drives you nuts thread is in a different forum. How could you possibly give a shit about this
  11. Weird, no way they would take that pay cut willingly. Doubt there is anything to that (yet).
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. He's probably just taking in all of the same data points as we are but it's becoming pretty clear which way the wind is blowing.
  17. If this happens quickly one lame duck season will be more than enough. I don't expect to get a call all season in conference play, it's gonna be a free-for-all out there. Can you imagine how funny it would be if we made the conference championship game and played OU? The Big12 half heartedly hyping a game between the teams that killed it, basically paying for a showcase for another conference? Bowlsby gritting his teeth while (good willing) handing the trophy to Sark? It would be fucking incredible.
  18. Haha, yeah sure. Everything about their behavior in the last 24 hours just screams their confidence in the ability to squash this whenever they please.
  19. There is a lot of truth here, but with aggy that's not enough and never has been. They want to badly to be the Texas flagship and one of the college football blue bloods. Sleeping giant and all that. In their heads they always have been, they just didn't have any of those pesky results to back it up. The mean media refused to acknowledge just how super special they are. They thought being the lone SEC school from Texas was their ticket. That conference continued to take a bigger piece of the pie (money and attention) in the college landscape while they naively thought Texas would slowly slide into obscurity because of the Big 12. You heard Bjork say it yesterday, they want their own identity and to them that only comes if they are the state of Texas' SEC school. Once Texas has that magic patch on their shoulder as well all of a sudden they lose the entirety of what they convinced themselves was their ticket to the big-time.
  20. I'm sure the SEC will allow the Ags to advocate for their own interests to a certain extent, but I wonder how much public fuckery they will have the patience for if the majority of the schools feel like this is a big win for them. I thought a big thing for the SEC was presenting a unified alliance on things. Also curious just how far the ags will push things if they are looking at long odds of blocking the move.
  21. We've blown through "Denial" and "Anger" and, now we're entered "Bargaining" I guess. I just hope they don't rush "Depression".
  22. So if this is real, the absolute earliest it would go into effect (and most likely time?) would be the 2023-2024 season, right? So you are pitching Stewart/Perkins et al on starting SEC play after their first season on campus. Arch headlines the '23 class that would go right into the new conference schedule.
