  1. to complete the list of fbs in the State of Texas..... north texas, rice, sam houston, texas state, utep and utsa we haven't played smu in 30 years, and i don't ever remember them blaming us for their problems or acting like dicks, which would decisively put them in a different category than rape, roach,cougar high and tceh who can all call us in the year 2100, and we might pick up years we need an extra home game: state, utep, utsa years we can afford an extra away game, alternate between nrg/samhouston/rice and deathstar/smu/unt, straight 1-offs, no 2-1, it's really our home game just played in dallas or houston no louisiana directionals at all also, we've played new mexico 3 times, last in 2012; and they should be on our rotation utep and utsa and only utep and utsa is going to get boring fast
  2. a proper baseline for pairing discussions would include a thorough calculationof drive times from every campus to every other campus i also choose to rank the football 'strength' of each school based on that school's rank in all time wins, compared only to current FBS teams thus, i present you with: the Official Drive-sydney-carton-Crazy SEC pairing model TM 2025 The Legion of Dynamic Discord, Malabo, Equatorial Guinea round 1: take out the immovable objects Texas/0u bama/barn klan/klan aggy florida/georgia that leaves: aggy kentucky lsu missouri pig south carolina tennessee vandy use geography for the other 4 pairings to match the immovable objects: aggy/lsu kentucky/south carolina (because reasons) missouri/pig tennessee/vandy round 2: continue with geography - it doesn't have to be absolute on time/distance - but it must be regional this round the top half of the conference (listed based on all-time wins) picks who they 'want' from teams 9-16 in all-time wins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_Division_I_FBS_football_win–loss_records all time wins 1-8 3 alabama 5 Texas 6 0u 9 georgia 11 tennessee 12 lsu 14 barn 16 aggy all-time wins 9-16 20 florida 25 pig 33 missouri 40 klan 51 kentucky 54 south carolina 63 vandy 76 klan aggy top 8 choose in order: bama takes klan Texas takes pig (we should choose lsu but there is no way the league will let us have 3 pairings in the all-time top 8 with both 0u and lsu, so pig is the next 'makes most sense' choice) 0u takes missouri georgia takes (or is made to take) south carolina (because reasons) tennessee takes kentucky lsu takes florida barn takes vandy and they should thank the football gods for it aggy gets klan aggy and they should thank the football gods for it round 3 is a clusterfuck combination of league decisions, best geo, and reasons 5 Texas (paired w/ 6 0u & 25 pig), has to take 16 aggy by consolation and parasitic viral inhabitation, like breast larvae 20 florida (already paired w/ 9 georgia & 12 lsu) gets 54 south carolina (best geo, competitive balance, logical geo 25 pig (already paired w/ 33 missouri & 5 texas) gets 6 0u (best geo, and fixes competitive balance, tough 3rd pairing too bad so sad) 33 missouri (already paired w/ 25 pig & 6 0u) gets 51 kentucky (tied for next best geo w/ vandy, so has to be kentucky on competitive balance) so to recap the following 8 are set (lower composite = more difficult) 5 Texas 6/16/25 (composite: 47) 6 0u 5/25/33 (composite: 63) 16 aggy 5/12/76 (composite: 93) 20 florida 9/12/54 (composite: 75) 25 pig 5/6/33 (composite: 44) 33 missouri 6/25/51 (composite: 82) 51 kentucky 11/33/54 (composite: 98) 54 south carolina 9/20/51 (composite: 80) note that the median composite for the 8 that are sorted is 73 to this point 44 of 48 pairings make sense within the context of this model the last 4 pairings .... are likely contentious, but it's easy to see the outside/in method is needed last 8 teams remaining to assign their 3rd pairing & remaining geos ordered by distance: 3 alabama paired w/ 14 & 40 (54), geos: 76, 63, 9, 11, 12 9 georgia paired w/ 20 & 54 (64), geos: 11, 3, 63, 76 11 tennessee paired w/ 51 & 63 (104), going to have a very strong 3rd pairing, geos: 9, 3, 14, 76, 40, 12 12 lsu paired w/ 16 & 20 (36), geos: 76, 40, 3, 14, 63, 9, 11 14 barn paired w/ 3 & 63 (66), geos: 9, 76, 11, 63, 63, 40, 12 40 klan paired w/ 3 & 76 (79), geos: 63, 14, 12, 9, 11 63 vandy paired w/ 11 & 14 (25), needs a weaker 3rd pairing, geos: calcs probably not needed 76 klan aggy paired w/ 16 & 40 (36), geos: calcs probably not needed so composites at this stage are 54, 64, 104, 36, 66, 79, 25 and 36 sorted ascending we get 25, 36, 36, 54, 64, 66, 79 and 104 recall the composite average for the sorted 8 is 73 outside/in method of addressing the last pairings would thus go in this order: 104, 25, 36, 36, 54, 64, 79 and 66 11 tennessee 104: it's pretty clear that tennessee is going to have to play 3 bama or 9 georgia (for a final composite of 107 or 113) 63 vandy 25: they are going to have to play 40 klan or 76 klan aggy (for a final composite of 103 or 139) 12 lsu 36 and 76 klan aggy 36: let's see if one has to be taken to solve for geo or composite 3 bama 54: last 4? 9 georgia 64: last 4? 40 klan 79: last 4? 14 barn 66: last 4? so let's channel snakey.... 11 tennessee pairs with 9 georgia (best geo that's required for competitive balance + tv wants it) 12 lsu pairs with 40 klan (2nd best geo, + tv wants it) we are down to 3 bama 14 barn 63 vandy 76 klan aggy bama and barn already paired vandy already paired with barn klan aggy only one not paired with other 3 by default, these last 2 pairings are unavoidable: 3 bama pairs 63 vandy 14 barn pairs 76 klan aggy SO this model produces the following: 5 Texas 6/16/25 (47) 6 0u 5/25/33 (63) 16 aggy 5/12/76 (93) 20 florida 9/12/54 (75) 25 pig 5/6/33 (44) 33 missouri 6/25/51 (82) 51 kentucky 11/33/54 (98) 54 south carolina 9/20/51 (80) 3 alabama 14/40/63 (117) 9 georgia 11/20/54 (88) 11 tennessee 9/51/63 (123) 12 lsu 16/20/40 (76) 14 barn 3/63/76 (142) 40 klan 3/12/76 (91) 63 vandy 3/11/14 (28) 76 klan aggy 14/16/40 (70) sorted by (composite SoS), lower = harder, with pairings 63 Vanderbilt 3/11/14 (28): Alabama, Tennessee, Auburn 25 Arkansas 5/6/33 (44): Texas, 0u, Missouri 5 Texas 6/16/25 (48): 0u, aggy, pig 6 0u 5/25/33 (63): Texas, pig, Missouri 76 Mississippi State 14/16/40 (70): Auburn, aggy, MIssissippi 20 Florida 9/12/54 (75): Georgia, LSU, South Carolina 12 LSU 16/20/40 (76): aggy, Florida, Mississippi 54 South Carolina 9/20/51 (80): Georgia, Florida, Kentucky 33 Missouri 6/25/51 (82): 0u, pig, Kentuckee average = 82.375, 9 above, 7 below 9 Georgia 11/20/54 (88): Tennessee, Florida, South Carolina 40 Mississippi 3/12/76 (91): Alabama, LSU, Mississippi State 16 aggy 5/12/76 (93): Texas, LSU, Mississippi State 51 Kentucky 11/33/54 (98): Tennessee, Missouri, South Carolina 3 Alabama 14/40/63 (117): Auburn, Mississippi, Vanderbilt 11 Tennessee 9/51/63 (123): Georgia, Kentucky, Vanderbilt 14 Auburn 3/63/76 (142): Alabama, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State conclusions georgia, aggy, bama and tennessee can just shut the fuck up about anything for the next 10 years sorry vandy someone is going to end up as the punching bag in the first iteration and you're the private school - anchor down! dear pig: welcome to the pleasuredome to our friends from across the river: you'll figure out the new landscape and do justice to your history (snicker snicker) dear corndog: wanna go halves on bribing the b1g to take aggy so we can fuck on the reg? the one thing this model did not produce that will be bitched about is barn-georgia; vandy / south carolina, or tennessee / klan aggy would have to agree to a switch; i don't see tennessee agreeing to this as georgia is their only marquee game in this model; i suppose vandy and south carolina could agree to this, maybe? but it puts barn's feels ahead of rational geography; georgia and south carolina make sense; on the flip side columbia to nashville is only 7 hours; in this case vandy still has tenneessee and south carolina still has florida, so if it must be so.....
  3. undefeated champions in games not played is not a new rationale but they are having to use it more and more as the rest of the sec and national media are circling for the kill shot
  4. if they cancel, fox and 0u owe disney a metric fuckton
  5. i just posted this over in the aggy 995 thread but posting here too...... just thought of another 'big evil texas destroyer of worlds' moment coming when snakey tells the fcs addicts that they have to move those games to september to clear the table for the tv discussion disney ain't forkin' over $80m to have their hands tied by tier 3 content
  6. oh what will they do? snakey is going to have to tell the fcs addicts that they have to move those games to september to clear the table for the tv discussion disney ain't forkin' over $80m to have their hands tied by tier 3 content
  7. @RomaVicta get the missiles in the silo pressurized and steaming...... big evil texas is LAYING WASTE to their beloved conference..... here is a quick overview of their outstanding contracts 26: missouri state saved their bacon and moved up to d1 this year so they won't have to redo anything 27: if they want a fcs game they will have to buy out Texas State or New Mexico 28: they already have their fcs so this one will be easy 29: comedy value awaits - what will they do?
  8. Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #34: War is good for business Ferengi Rule of Acquisition #35: Peace is good for business

  14. from 1826 to 1869 the land that would become the territory of wyoming was center-stage in the non-coastal history of the trans-mississippi 9 of the 15 mountain man rendezvous were held in what would become wyoming south pass on the continental divide was the common point for 90% of the land traffic heading west before the golden spike fort bridger during the utah war was the largest us army encampment between 1815 and 1861
  15. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46020555/college-football-vince-young-rise-texas-legend-began-ohio-state When Young spoke candidly, everyone listened and responded. The season before, in 2004, the Longhorns trailed Oklahoma State 35-14. Brown opened the locker room doors and was about to give a halftime speech. "'You ain't got to say s---, we know what the f--- we got to do," Griffin remembered Young saying as he cut off Brown. "It's hilarious now, but in the moment, you're like, 'Did he really just say that?'" In the second half, Texas outscored the Cowboys 42-0.
  16. indiana had no top 25 wins and were not competitive against domer domer went up 27-3 with 5 minutes to go 126 of indiana's 278 yards were in the last 5 minutes it was a jimbo fisher masterclass is late cosmetic points indiana's possessions (plays/yards) in the first 55 minutes of the game: 3/-3/punt 4/24/pick 8/38/punt - 2 first downs! 6/25/punt - 2 first downs! 9/48/field goal - 2 first downs! 1/6/half 3/-9/punt 3/2/punt 5/12/punt - 1 first down! that's 143 yards of offense and 7 first downs in the first 55 minutes of the game
  17. both of those fanbases would be po'ed michigan has never been to austin tosu only once (06) ann arbor last year and columbus this year were part of the fox/year-early negotiation disney would be rightly po'ed if either or both backed out - the money to pay 0u's early r1g exit penalty gets reimbursed from these 2 games in 26 and 27 both of these games are much bigger than just canceling the contract
  18. the risk/reward for rape is worth it a win over a bottom-barrel sec team keeps them in the conversation UNTIL that 3rd loss a loss to barn and they are out of the conversation until november *if* that is their only loss halfway through league play at 7-1 or 8-1 not playing the game they are not in the conversation until november if they get there with only 1 loss not being in the conversation is status quo for them now this game has nothing but upside and besides BARN SUX if rape can't win this game at home they shouldn't be in the conversation anyway
  19. subconsciously they know the receipts for their behavior over the past 17 years are going to be cashiered on 28 november
  20. #1 is 0u #2 is 0u #3 is 0u #4 uga #5 tosu #6 gatahh #7 pig aggy is never on any list beating aggy is meaningless 78-0 over aggy is the minimum acceptable pleasing result

  22. the below klatt piece is dated 4 august same day as start of this thread i went back and scanned first 3 pages / 3 days of this thread to confirm the klatt article was not posted here i think the majority of us like and respect klatt foro actually dong homework, watches games, etc. sooooo......... +++ https://sports.yahoo.com/article/joel-klatt-explains-why-texas-172409213.html Joel Klatt explains why Texas A&M is a sleeping giant in college football Grant Grubbs Joel Klatt ranked Texas A&M No. 16 in his official preseason college football rankings. On Monday, the FOX Sports analyst explained why he has high hopes for the Aggies in 2025. “I believe in their head coach. I think that this fan base deserves it because they’ve supported this program at a top-10 level, and have not gotten top-10 results from their team,” Klatt said. “They’ve got the right guy now, and he can bring this thing to fruition. I’m talking about Texas A&M. “Texas A&M is a sleeping giant, folks. They’re absolutely a sleeping giant. And the more that I looked at A&M over the offseason, the more that I liked them.” Head coach Mike Elko and Texas A&M burst out of the starting gates last season, beginning the 2024 campaign with a 7-1 record. However, the team stumbled in the home stretch, losing four of its final five games of the season. Nonetheless, the Aggies finished the year with an 8-5 record, the program’s best since 2021. Moreover, players began to step up for Texas A&M and carve out a role for the future. Klatt believes those standouts will play significant roles in the Aggies’ success this fall. “The offense has a lot coming back,” Klatt said. “Marcel Reed took over during last year and showed, I think, he’s a dynamic athlete. They bring back their entire offensive line. They’ve got running backs back, including Le’Veon Moss, after he missed the last month of last season. “… I believe Elko will get the defense going. That’s his history. The schedule then becomes the difficult part,” Klatt said. “… I’m a huge, huge bet on the future guy with A&M. I think Elko is going to turn it around. I think that Texas A&M, again, is a bit of a sleeping giant. I think they can, and will, be a top 10 team here in the next couple of seasons.” Texas A&M is returning a jaw-dropping 15 combined starters on offense and defense. Most notably, quarterback Marcel Reed is back in College Station after stepping into a starting role last season. Reed showed flashes of greatness last season, but will need to be consistent this year for the Aggies to make a run at the College Football Playoff. Texas A&M’s returning players aren’t the only notable names on the roster. The team also reeled in several key transfers, including former NC State wide receiver KC Concepcion.
