  1. Brilliant clock management there, Ole Miss.
  2. The University of California system has 6 universities rated higher than UT-Austin. UCLA, Berkeley, Davis, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Irvine. There is no reason the state of Texas cannot produce a public university as good as the 6th best public in California. It is pathetic.
  3. LJ is just a baller, forget about practice, that play shows everything that makes him a special WR. I'm really hoping he can keep getting chances in the other preseason games and end up on the roster in NOLA or somewhere else.

    Economy Thread

    With business investment at its lowest rate in years, it seems like the only thing keeping this economy afloat is Trump's big increase in deficit spending.
  5. Got 20% off a $200 carseat that we've needed for our 2nd car for a while.
  6. Getting Jaqwondis Burns and Ja'Quinden Jackson together would be a game changer.
  7. Florio is floating a roughly $50 million settlement amount.
  8. But I had assurances from Gil Brandt he is going back to OU out of love for the game and his passion for all things Sooners.

    THE EXCUSE

    For everyone talking about how the #5 team always loses in the CFP era and Georgia had no motivation, I just ask them how many millions they made betting against Georgia -13 in Vegas. It is a totally after-the-fact rationalization.
  10. TIL that bulldogs are called bulldogs because they were used in England to fight bulls in the 1600's: From wikipedia The designation "bull" was applied because of the dog's use in the sport of bull baiting. This entailed the setting of dogs (after placing wagers on each dog) onto a tethered bull. The dog that grabbed the bull by the nose and pinned it to the ground would be the victor. It was common for a bull to maim or kill several dogs at such an event, either by goring, tossing, or trampling. Over the centuries, dogs used for bull-baiting developed the stocky bodies and massive heads and jaws that typify the breed as well as a ferocious and savage temperament Basically this is a rivalry that goes much deeper than we thought.
  11. 3rd-5th? Based on which bowl they were slotted into, I believe they are considered the 7th best team in the SEC this year.
  12. Night game on NYE means nobody will see or care about the game. That is probably a plus for aggy.
  13. I thought it would be worse with Bama -14.5 against OU. Transitive property and all that.
  14. Losing to NC State is right up there with losing to Wake Forest in that there will be no way in hell to spin it as a positive.
  15. Cheez-it bowl still an option?
  16. My head says to cheer for OU since we already beat them on a neutral field, and it wasn't nearly as close as the final score says, while we lost to WVU at home. But I just can't do it, too satisfying for OU to be sitting at home watching the Big XII championship between two teams they lost to.
