  1. My lawn's not going to landscape itself.
  2. What do people think goes on in these discussions? This isn't like some band insisting there be a bucket of fried chicken ready when we come off stage. I'm pretty sure the list of demands looked something like: Pay us a obscene amounts of money Provide non-horrible officiating Have a nice day
  3. Ouch. That's gotta sting for the rest of the Big 12 to find out their combined annual worth is less than Texas' third-tier rights.
  4. It's going to be awesome. And fuck you. I'm still pissed off about that Matt Jones game.
  5. If this process has taught us anything, it's that A&M is going to do whatever the fuck it's told to do. As for pods vs divisions and the makeup of either, that will be driven by money. Texas and OU aren't joining the SEC to play regular games against Vandy and Mizzou. Texas vs A&M will draw a shit ton of viewers, which is the point of this whole exercise. I'd be shocked if they don't play every year. If we don't, it's because some alternative generates more viewership overall. It sure as shit won't have anything to do with what A&M wants.
  6. I had the same thought and honestly, I can't tell which one would be funnier.
  7. There's a huge difference between Alabama, LSU, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee vs Tech, TCU, etc. Half of the SEC are (or think they are... cough, aggy, cough) Texas' equals. OU is our only peer in the Big 12. There's no power imbalance like the Big 12 or even the SWC. And before the ISU and TCU fans jump in, this isn't about wins and losses. Despite a crappy decade, Texas is still a massive draw for viewers. OU has won the conference 6 years in a row and yet Texas is still the top draw and the perception is that Texas is calling the shots.
  8. One one hand, there is no logical reason for them to leave. On the other hand, aggy. It's a coin flip whether their stupidity or their impotence wins out.
  9. Texas is coming. Bama doesn't love them. Now we just need LSU to hire away their "championship winning coach" and A&M's entire identity will be shattered.
  10. In their defense, "AD" is their code word for aggy dumbasses. So you're both right.
  11. On the bright side, they can now recruit JUCO players right out of high school and skip the middle man.
  12. Are you suggesting that A&M is willing to embarrass themselves to claim moral victory? Because that would... be totally consistent with their entire existence.
  13. Slightly different topic and it'll never happen, but move to 4 16 conferences, all of them organized by pods. Each conference has a tournament and the four champions get seeded by rank in a 4 team playoff. You could add a "losers" bracket and the highest rated teams from the non-Big 4 to give other conferences a chance. Alternatively, send all pod winners and reserve 4 spots for other conferences/the highest ranked teams that didn't win their pod for a 16 team playoff.
  14. Yes. Both of these statements are true.
  15. I'm sure there are lots of reasonable fans in the SEC. Fuck them. What makes college football fun is pure, unadulterated hatred. I hate everything about OU - the players, the coaches, their stupid band that only plays one song, the morons in the schooner. Everything. I would also murder anyone who suggested we not play them every year. Unfortunately, you can't hate everyone. ISU and WVU are fine. I don't hate them even though they have no business beating Texas. I mostly pity Tech and don't think of TCU unless we're playing them. I could see LSU, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama being really easy to hate, which will just make college football more fun.
  16. For someone who doesn't know anything about WVU, what's wrong with them?
  17. Sure, but I bet more people watch UT's spring game than would watch KState vs half of the Pac 12.
  18. OSU and ISU I get. Maybe Tech, but why KState? Do they bring anything?
  19. If ESPN wants this to happen (and why wouldn't they), the GOR won't be a problem. They own the rights to the ACC, AAC, and PAC 12. Facilitating two moves shouldn't be too difficult.
  20. Doesn't the LHN deal go through 2031? So ESPN is still on the hook for $150 million in payments to Texas plus operating expenses. Anyone know what LHN expenses are?
  21. I'm pretty sure the yearly buttfucking is their favorite part.
  22. Texas Perpetual Destination Thread?
  23. Because you already have this cesspool?
  24. Unless we have a big lead late in the fourth quarter in College Station. Then it would be hilarious.
  25. Without any context, 16 seems like a reasonable ranking for Texas. But no way should A&M, Oregon, or Cincinnati be top 10 teams.
