  1. I don't disagree. I'm just pushing back on everyone talking about how bad our schedule was and that if we were in the SEC or BIG we wouldn't be in the playoffs. You are right...we haven't proven a thing yet. This season is all for not if we don't win the Big12 and win at least one playoff game.
  2. Nebraska is responsible for Nebraska's demise. Had they stayed in the Big 12 and not help to break it up, they would still have exposure to Texas recruits. When they left the Big 12, their ability to recruit anyone out of the Lone Star State pretty much dried up over night. They got uppity and didn't realize they were cutting off their nose to spite their face. Tech went to the CWS a couple of years later, and my group decided to stay in Lincoln to use points for a free hotel room. We were in walking distance to that little restaurant/bar district just southwest of the UNL campus, and found ourselves talking to some Nebraska fans in one of the local bars. They were in full regret mode on leaving the Big 12. Said they hated the BIG, that tOSU and Michigan were way worse than UT, that they no longer had any natural rivals, no recruiting pipeline, etc. Totally had buyer's remorse on the move to the BIG.
  3. Yeah, but when everyone else can post a tweet/X/whatever it's called now, and I can't, I feel like Fredo...
  4. ND should have joined the BIG years ago....and then Rutgers could have remained where they rightfully were.
  5. I never thought he would leave BYU. So I don't know if this is positioning for a better raise/extension, raise for assistants, moving some NIL from MBB to FB, or a combination of all of the above. I just can't see him in State College, PA, USA.
  6. https://x.com/FootballScoop/status/1995558715978908155?s=20 I still don't know how to post an X link here.
  7. I miss the old, original Big 12, especially the 2008 version when the Big 12 South was as tough of a league as anywhere you would find. I would like to have seen the old Big 12 paired with the modern 12 or 16 playoff and just see what would happen.
  8. How do we know? We'll never know...unless Tech beats the SEC team(s) it faces in the CFP. Otherwise, it's all hypothetical.
  9. It's not laughable. I know for a fact Tech has tried to schedule upper end SEC teams and they won't take the call. So until I see A&M, UT, Alabama, Georgia, LSU, etc. on Tech's future OOC schedule, I'll continue to make my case. UT and A&M will not even pick up the phone, which is fine. But then don't turn around and tell us we don't play anybody when you are unwilling to play us. You can't have it both ways.
  10. Shouldn't be in the CFP? You're an idiot.
  11. Here's the thing... Tech would love to schedule these teams in OOC, but they can't get any buyers (I would bet BYU and others would say the same thing). So if BIG and SEC refuse to schedule the other P2 schools, then how can they then say the other P2 schools should be excluded because they "don't play anybody"? If BIG & SEC are so confident that they are so much superior top to bottom than Big12 and ACC, why won't they schedule them with reciprocal home games? Oregon at least did with Tech, so I'll give UO credit for stepping up to the plate when most in their conference and SEC won't. What really pisses me off is the 8 game conference schedule in the SEC to boot. Yes, I now that changes next year (thankfully), but this year SEC teams played 8 conference games to everyone else playing 9. So it's a damn racket. (1) Criticize B12 and ACC for not having as strong a schedule, but (2) won't schedule B12 and ACC, (3) only playing 8 conference games to everyone else playing 9, and then (4) demand more teams in the CFP because SEC is obviously superior to everyone else. Forgive me if I refuse to concede that SEC is just that much better of a conference. It's more of a self-fulfilling prophesy conference.
  12. I was starting to feel bad for Marty Smith. The longer it went on, it kind of have that Geraldo opening Al Capone's vault feeling to it.
  13. Agreed. But the SEC SEC SEC folks seem to think that the CFP is supposed to be an SEC Invitational Tournament. I really hope they go 0-fer in the playoffs...and I really, really hope it's Tech that sends aTm packing.
  14. Exactly. It’s absurd that anyone would try to make the argument that Alabama is not a destination program. It’s the quintessential destination program, if you can handle the pressure and the complete absence of any semblance of a private life.
