  1. We were second only to the SEC in our 2025 OOC record: https://topdan.com/college-football-conference-records/2025.html 2025 College Football Conference Records ACC Big 12 Big Ten Pac 12 SEC Overall ACC 1-6 1-2 3-0 4-6 9-14 Big 12 6-1 2-2 2-0 0-3 10-6 Big Ten 2-1 2-2 2-0 1-2 7-5 Pac 12 0-3 0-2 0-2 0-1 0-8 SEC 6-4 3-0 2-1 1-0 12-5
  2. Major (league) props to both of you.
  3. Yet, the same people who in this situation will say common opponents is a fool's errand will then turn around and say it's o.k. to lambast Tech and BYU because Tech got beat by ASU who got beat by MSU (on a last second TD due to broken coverage the 2nd week of the year). Somehow the entire Big 12 gets to be judged on that one loss, but anywhere else transitive properties or common opponents are not viable criteria or metrics. It's like the aggies saying Tech sucks because it lost to ASU who lost to MSU, but then they do not see any correlation at all to them losing to UT who lost to a bad Florida team. We need to get rid of using one game to determine the relative strengths or weaknesses of an entire conference. Sometimes good teams get upset. It happens.
  4. #7 is in the oil business now. His daughter just got admitted to TCU and his son is doing deals with the cartel.
  5. Ah. My bad. Read it too fast.
  6. Boatraced? I was at that game. I would not describe it as being boatraced. Miami had the lead at halftime and SMU won in OT.
  7. Willie Fritz is 137 years old.
  8. The East Coast conference has a lot of suckage going on. It wouldn't be long before people complained that they had a seat at the playoff table. But I am all-in on this concept.
  9. Losing commits to ACC and Big12 schools can't be going over very well in Happy Valley, State College, Pennsylvania, USA.
  10. Yeah, it's called OtherSchoolsNILitis.
  11. Impressive since it appears this is a side hustle to his main career of being a pimp, I mean, manager of an escort agency.
  12. I swear NFL GM's are like those girls who think the bad boy who cheats on every girl he's ever been with and treats them like shit will suddenly change and be a different person with her. Kliff Kingsbury has failed as a head coach not just at Tech, but also with the Arizona Cardinals. He absolutely sucks as a head coach. He is an OC, and that is all he should ever be...but these morons keep Peter Principling guys who are great coordinators but crappy head coaches. I just don't get it.
  13. With no gravy. You give me fried chicken fingers and some Texas toast but no gravy? GTFO with that.
  14. Interesting, because the Mormons I was friends with in high school (late 80's/early 90's) only had 7-up and Sprite and other non-caffeinated drinks at any of their gatherings. Oddly enough, I've seen many Mormons consume amounts of sugar that boggles my mind, yet none of them were ever fat. By and large a very good looking group of people.
  15. Have you seen how fat society has become? Plus, them Mormons are addicted to sugar. Went to Provo two years ago for the Tech-BYU game. They may abstain from alcohol and caffeine, but they've just replaced it with a sugar addiction like I've never seen.
  16. Dammit. I know better than that. All of my old English teachers are rolling over in their graves.
  17. Would BYU hire a non-LDS to lead their football program?
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Yeah, but when everyone else can post a tweet/X/whatever it's called now, and I can't, I feel like Fredo...
  21. ND should have joined the BIG years ago....and then Rutgers could have remained where they rightfully were.
