  1. Yeah it was the house across the street from me. It messed up my house pretty good but my family is safe.
  2. We never played SMU OOC after the SWC broke up and their pay for play death penalty. We never played UH OOC after the whole Bleachergate debacle. I hope/assume likewise we will never play Baylor OOC due to their many issues including the Briles rape scandal. Texas has no need to play more games in Waco or outside of the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. We would benefit with a Houston game but Rice can checks that box for us. I could see us eventually scheduling a home and home with Tech or TCU. I wouldn’t advocate for it personally as neither will excite our fan base, bring many eyeballs, nor help with recruiting, but I could see it being politically expedient to offer it as a goodwill gesture. That being said if we never play another OOC away game in Texas other than Rice, I won’t lose any sleep over it.
  3. Unclear, I assume the half share would be for the length of their proposed TV deal but most of that hasn’t been released publicly. If it was permanently at a half share then I don’t blame them for turning it down. They also are giving Gonzaga a FULL Football share so I could see how that would rub Texas State the wrong way too. It took a decade+ but yes they pretty much brought back TCU and everyone in the Mountain/Pacific Time Zones other than UTEP. Utah/BYU (now in B12), Colorado State/San Diego St (joining P12), New Mexico, UNLV, Wyoming, and Air Force left the WAC to form the MWC leaving behind… TCU (later invited now in B12) Fresno (later invited now in P12) Hawaii (later invited, still in MWC) SJSU (later invited, still in MWC) UTEP (only recently invited to MWC) SMU (rumored but never officially invited, now in ACC) Rice (rumored but never officially invited, now in AAC) Tulsa (see above) Fresno should feel good about themselves, going from shunned to shunner. Utah State and Boise State weren’t in the original 16 team WAC when the MWC split off but obviously their trajectory is great as well.
  4. Rumor going around that Texas State was offered the final spot in the PAC12 at a 50% share and turned them down. PAC12 has been turned down by everyone in the AAC and MWC so they either will have to take New Mexico State at significantly reduced share or Texas State at a full share. https://nevadasportsnet.com/newsletter-daily/murrays-mailbag-why-is-the-pac-12-struggling-to-find-a-required-eighth-football-school

  6. His kid finished off the original series using Frank Herbert’s notes in Hunters of Dune and Sandworms of Dune. It’s not like Sanderson finishing The Wheel of Time or anything but it does tie up all the loose ends so I’d recommend giving those a read too. I would NOT recommend Al; the prequels his kid did.
  7. aggy just needs to take Corpus, Kingsville and Victoria and just merge them into one regional institution “aggy gulf coast” or whatever. They can’t do much worse than UH.
  8. Who the fuck cares about UH Victoria?
  9. Just had his first at bat against Sam Houston. Struck out, but still cool to see him out there.
  10. Damn would have been a nice story
  11. I will always rep this video. Epitome of aggy logic.
  12. Cal just ahead of Wake and behind Wazzu Rutger and Boston College got a major lol from me.
  13. Crisco Kid was a friend of mine
  14. Calculus changed a little when they added the 4 out West. Before that move I don’t think they would have been gifted that 4th bid. They assume Mich/OSU/Pedo will typically be up there and Oregon/USC/Wash pretty much encompass all the competitive history of the PAC12 save those few years Stanford was competitive and a Utah team or two. If ESPN can get Mich/OSU/Pedo and USC into the CFP they’re good with giving out the occasional spot for Indiana or Iowa for that possibility.
  15. You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is, ‘never get involved in a land war in Asia,’ but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘Never go in against aggy when hypothetical award votes are on the line!’”
  16. https://www.abqjournal.com/sports/article_33e58b30-f63e-11ef-bce1-1fc013f19698.html MWC mediation merger? Probably not but interesting…
  17. Eggs are bad for your cholesterol anyways.

  19. It’ll happen once the Big 12 is able to lock in 2 autobids and not punish them for playing and losing to OU every year…then they’ll find a way to free up their schedule before 2031.
  20. Moar. https://frontofficesports.com/how-viable-is-a-big-east-acc-merger/
  21. Rumor of Big East/ACC merger and/or partnership agreement… https://awfulannouncing.com/college-basketball/big-east-commissioner-acc-merger.html
  22. Don’t believe everything you read. Texas education isn’t trash. It’s a big state with lots of variances between districts so it definitely won’t be anywhere near the best. For every metric that proves it’s great there are two that prove otherwise. Regardless we should absolutely hold our leaders (both state and local) to a higher standard as just being better than states like Mississippi, Alaska, Louisiana, Wyoming, and God forsaken Oklahoma is not good enough.
  23. He covered Hurt too. May not be a popular opinion but I think it’s better than the original.
  24. Washington State wishes…
