  1. Even though I still have PTSD from Baker's games vs Westlake, I feel bad for him in one regard. Both VY and Baker are similar in that they both were screwed financially by relatives. SIAP, but Baker is currently suing his father's company which has somehow lost (stole) $12 million of his money. Baker's dad and his uncle are partners in two financial companies and can't explain what happened to the money. It's not suspicious at all. Vince got taken to the cleaners by his idiot uncle and some dodgy investors. As you know, VY somehow lost $27 million in guaranteed money. How is that even possible? It got so bad that creditors would wait for Vince to get on the Buffalo Bill's practice field and then try to speak to him about his debt. The Bills decided he was too much of a distraction and cut him.
  2. Who remembers that Surly Horns Magazine featured Lily, the AT&T girl, before she was the AT&T girl? #trailblazer #surlyhornshistory
  3. Best comment from TikTok: Is the Bills stadium built on an Indian graveyard?
  4. The irony is that any normal institution wouldn't be continually bragging about their operating budget and supposed revenue when they had SO LITTLE athletic success to show for it!! Aren't they embarrassed to have wasted so much money? And when did I wake up to a world where Ohio State just hired away the athletic director who presided over the most embarrassing contract fiasco in the history of athletics business?
  5. "Hey, Rachel, thanks so much for the interview. We're going to need a very long, head-shot of you looking at camera while a voice-over reads all the charges against you. There's a lot of charges so it will have to be at least 12 seconds long, and then we're done."
  6. 50% of this playoff loss was on the players, 50% was on Dak, and 50% was on the coaches.
  7. Now do the similarities between Lincoln’s and Kennedy’s assassinations.
  8. I don't know if he should worry about being convicted, but he should definitely be worried about facing Gloria Allread in the Hutchin's family civil suit. Guess his little PR campaign to finish the movie and pay off the Hutchin's family didn't go so well.
  9. For me, nothing will ever top the thrill of riding our bikes to 7-11 and picking up the Surly Horns Season Preview issue. We read it cover-to-cover, and always looked forward to the Awesome JUGGS spread. Having the readers write all the content was so ahead of its time.
  10. Sorry to sidetrack the thread. Here is a post to get things back on track:
  11. Crazy, right? @RomaVicta I did a cursory search on the internet and there seems to be some indication that this actually happened, which is kind of incredible. This site is called "The History of Longhorn Sports: "Coach Royal teaches OU head coach Chuck Fairbanks the intricacies of the wishbone against the advice of Emory Bellard." https://www.texaslsn.org/dkr-1971-1976#:~:text=Coach Royal teaches OU head,the advice of Emory Bellard. The following is from an interview w Emory Ballard: https://blog.kir.com/?p=4829 And finally, on legendary UT head coach Darrell Royal’s decision to teach the Wishbone to other programs, including arch-rival Oklahoma. OU refined the formation during the late 1970’s and 80’s to win National Championships and to dominate Texas after UT abandoned the Wishbone when Royal retired in 1975:
  12. Haha. Just wanted to share it cause if true, it's got to be the strangest coaching decisions of all time and I had never heard it before this year.
  13. Seems like it is pretty well documented with quotes from Emory Ballard
  14. Is that the same Darrell Royal who willingly taught his entire Wishbone offense to the Oklahoma coaching staff, who then used it against him, and then beat him in every game (except for year one), which ultimately spelled his demise? I'm not sure if a worse coaching decision was ever made.
  15. Totally. Stay tuned. I just shared your comment with my office. Everyone agrees this is exactly what will happen.
  16. I'm devastated. First, my fave coaching clown of ALL TIME, Jimbo, is canned. I'm still not over it. Now, the AD who had presided over the most hopelessly inept sports program is hired away. This is going to take some time for me.
  17. Now do a well-researched post about the National Championship trophy Aggy gave Jimbo
  18. "Public Ivy" Haha, okay. Over the years we've hired so many lazy, entitled dumbasses from there. Now that I think about it, when I worked in NY, we hired lots of dumbasses who graduated from Ivy League schools, as well, haha.
  19. As I'm not a Cowboy's fan, I have to give them a giant thank you for providing us three of the funniest playoff losses of all time, and they occurred three years in a row! Two years ago: The infamous, "who spots the ball/time waits for no one/Marx Brothers ending collapse" One year ago: The "Immaculate deception/trick play/Ezekiel Elliott/butt dumble ending tragi-comedy" This year: The "Apocalypse Wow/Extinction Level Event massacre"
  20. From Sports Illustrated: Poor Mike Tirico was forced to utter the words, “Congratulations to our Comcast and NBCUniversal teammates, thanks to commissioner Roger Goodell and our partners at the NFL and all of the fans on this record-setting collaboration. A milestone moment in media and sports history.” A milestone moment? History? Here’s the real version of what Tirico should’ve said in that embarrassing video: “Roger Goodell sold an NFL playoff game to Peacock for $110 million, and NFL fans subscribed to Peacock to watch the game. We knew this would happen because Americans love the NFL more than anything, so thank you for going along with our plan of holding you hostage. And you might as well make sure you’re subscribed to Paramount+ and ESPN+ now because the NFL will be selling playoff games to those streaming services, too.”
  21. The biggest losers this weekend were the poor fans who forked out $$ for a Peacock subscription and were still forced to sit through the same bad commercials. Peacock then posted about hosting the largest-streamed event of all time. Congrats, I guess, but they failed to mention that Peacock lost $2 billion in 2023.
  22. My Fanduel bet for the Rams to win the Super Bowl is very happy with this game.
