  1. Opposite for me so go KSU.
  2. ISU fans showed the fuck up.
  3. Digging the "Cyclones" script helmet.
  4. This thread left me wondering about something. What are some schools that have traditional college experiences (including P4ish football), but are extremely easy to get into (>83%)? There were plenty more than I expected and something for everyone. Michigan State - 84% acceptance rate Iowa - 85% Arizona - 86% Oregon - 85% Arizona State - 90% Iowa State - 89% Utah - 87% Colorado State - 90% Cincinnati - 88% Kansas - 88% Kentucky - 92% Ole Miss - 98% (!!!) West Virginia - 88%
  5. Did A&M counter by adding another 10,000?
  6. If we're talking about UTSA and TxSt rising then it's fair to mention that UH has improved their academic profile a ton in the last 20 years. They're all the way up to #144 now in US News (flawed, I know) which is higher than all of Arkansas, LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State, & Ole Miss that get a ton of Texas kids. Of course, your atmosphere and experience at those schools are going to be vastly different from UH, though I hear they're improving there too. US News on Texas: #18 Rice #31 UT #51 A&M #91(t) Baylor #91(t) SMU #105 TCU #109 UT-Dallas #144 Houston #214 Texas Tech #220(t) UT-RGV #220(t) UNT #231(t) Sam Houston #231(t) UT-Arlington #231(t) UTSA #273 Texas State
  7. Is he one of those that in the last 4 or 5 years started talking about how great Hungary and Serbia are when he takes his break from reading Roman history books written by tv newstainment anchors?
  8. The obvious truth is that Americans can be described as a Venn Diagram of idiots, assholes, and pussies and it's becoming closer and closer to being a single circle every day.
  9. The schedule for tomorrow is annoying. ISU/KSU at 11? Great that feels like a good 11AM game. The other three FBS vs FBS games? Oh, we're going to put them all on at relatively the same time. I don't hate watching FCS games in the afternoon, but come on get it together networks. Fresno State/Kansas 5:30 Sam Houston/Western Kentucky 6:00 Stanford/Hawaii 6:30 Can't even give us a late start for a game in Hawaii.
  10. I remember I was floating the Guadalupe one weekend when all of this was going down and some UT guy saw my BU gear and I remember telling him how we were 100% sure that BU was going to pick the MWC over CUSA if the Big East wasn't interested. Was it only going to be BU left out or was there something about KSU/ISU being out too? I don't remember.
  11. I don't see how we could have; we weren't going to suddenly be bigger name football schools than the SEC. We currently have 0 70k+ seat stadiums to the 11 in the SEC now. There was no logical reason for OU and UT to stay in the B12 with us.
  12. It would work really well for us too or hell you could even do 4 protected and cycle the rest even slower in the Big 12. That would be incredibly uneven and you wouldn't see some schools for a really long time, but who really cares if they're not getting more Arizona @ West Virginia? Tech's schedule this year is a self-inflicted disaster by the conference. Games against schools from Texas and states that border Texas: 2008: SMU, @ Texas A&M, Texas, Oklahoma State, @ Oklahoma, Baylor 2025: Arkansas Pine-Bluff, @ Houston, Oklahoma State Now OU, A&M, and UT aren't an option of course, but there is no reason to have them skipping TCU and Baylor in the same season. I'm beating a dead horse at this point, but hey it's 23 hours until football.
  13. I'm on Chapter 5 and really digging it.
  14. I think we have more talent than ever before, but how much of our perceived uptick was due to Mexico being really bad for a few years?
  15. Lol oh yeah the end of Abbott and Trump here...sure.
  16. Helo is obviously self-aware and trolling us at this point. But hell man you don't have to enter 410 to enjoy highbrow Spurs culture. The Monster Mini Golf out by the airport has you covered.
  17. These go well on any frozen pizza and have some solid protein numbers. Hell sometimes I'll just throw them in the oven by themselves.
  18. Ordering as fast as possible.
  19. Oh, he's a public fornicator. Yes, he's a fine boy...
  20. As someone that thinks that Chongqing Chicken is probably the best single dish on the planet, these were really disappointing.
  21. Would the Black Hand in this case be some frostbitten Canadian or a Mexican that's been making mole? You know what, don't tell me I'll wait and see what happens.
  22. Season 2 already with a shitty callback episode.
