His ex-wife doesn't have a punchable face, that's good to know.

If only UT had the money to buy anything they wanted.

The fact that CAL & Stanford get ZERO mentions on this page is hilarious. Forgetting them isn't on us. It's on CalFord. They weren't even a serious contender for the BIG12 and for some reason the ACC thought they'd turn the attic into a room for them. And they are letting SMU sleep in the yard. It just illustrates at how, not only did CalFordSmu not add value, but they damaged the brand.

Soooo. Mark Adams was pushed out the door after the 2023 season at Texas Tech. There were accusations that he used racially insensitive metaphors around his players. Lets just say he was kinda racist. (Even by Tech standards) Well, Chris Beard just hired Mark Adams to be his sidekick at Ole Miss. Fired from Tech for being racist, Ole Miss rolls out the red carpet.

When one uses the word, 'influential' it would mean that for years to come, everybody copies you. And to this day almost every teams quarterback is expected to be able to execute the zone read. Did MB and VY invent the zone read? NO. But everybody runs at least some form of it, solely because of how UT won a National Championship with the zone read as a key piece. So I think the 2005 UT team belongs. I also think Leach being at #5 for the 2008 season is dead on. Influential, heck yes. To this day you'll see plays that he popularized being run by every NFL team and every college team.

The 7-11 Twelve

Pretty sure the SEC is watching. Waiting for the Allstate Conference to set the bar, knowing full well that the SEC asking price will be at least triple what they get. I'm betting on Coca-Cola stepping up to buy the SEC rights.

If I were ranking how well the Big12 travels I'd definitely put OSt in the top three. 1. BYU 2. TECH 3. OkieLite 4. Tie BU & TCU & All the Old BIG8 schools. (ISU, KST, KU & CU) 10. UA, AST & UU 13. WVU, They have a great fanbase, but having to go of state just to get to the airport hurts their travel. Having a rival 6 hours away is really going to help. 14. UH 15. UCF 16. CINCY

The local gumment knows all to well about the pending financial loss. You just can't come out and say publicly what lame replacements Cincy, UCF & UH are.

Though it is quiet a haul from Norman and Austin to Georgia, SC or Florida, the SEC will certainly have the fewest miles of any conference. They are the only remaining regional conference. I found this info about Cal & Stanford: Cal's travel for Football=10,334, Stanfords=8,954. That's insane.

You're not right about Lubbock. Tech has more fans there. (I live in Lubbock). Nonetheless, UT always brought an army with them. They always bought their ticket allotment. And they bought up as many "single" game tickets as they could. (There were never very many to be had) They'd pay a premium for whatever seats were on the resale sights. On top of that (and this is NO exaggeration) UT always brought at least 10,000 fans who knew they weren't going to get into the game. The parking lots around the stadium were filled with burnt orange fans watching the game on big screens in pick up beds or next to million dollar RV's etc. The bars were packed in every part of the city, the restaurants were packed and the hotels were charging triple rate with a two night minimum. I would dare say that the financial impact in Lubbock of the UT game every other year was $50,000,000. The A&M game in Lubbock was nearly as good and the OU game wasn't far behind. BYU will indeed have a lot of fans at all away games. Tech probably will be the second best traveling fan base. Colorado is looking forward to having visiting fans again. The west of the rockies schools didn't travel to Boulder. KST, KU, OSU & Tech always sold out their allotment in Boulder. (As did Nebraska, OU & UT). All is not lost here in Lubbock, we have replaced the UT home game with the mighty Bearcats of Cincinnati and replaced the Oklahoma Sooners with the Arizona State Sundevils. So the economic impact loss prolly won't be more than $80-$90 million.

The teams on the outer rim gonna wrack up some air miles.

It can be really hard for a team to spend the salary cap max. When you consider the length of the contracts, a team may be underspending this season because multiple contracts will be paying more next year and then you'd be over the cap in 2025. Therefore you couldn't sign CeeDee or Barkley or Henry to a good contract in 2024. That said, several different pundits rank the Cowboys offseason at #32.

The art deco version looks like he's pulling anal beads out of his mouth.

Since some sort of pay for play model is on the horizon, wouldn't players in bowl games get an extra 1/13th of their salary? Where would this extra pay come from? Half the bowl games make no money. On top of that half the time the teams/schools often lose money on a bowl game. Over the years I've seen numerous articles on how UT or Tech or OkSt lost money on a trip to the Holiday Bowl or Citrus Bowl etc. So how will there be money for the extra salary? Asking for a friend.

IIRC About 15 years ago an Aggie football player was arrested at a playground while exposing himself. I had to tell AI that he's holding a baseball bat.

This is nitpicking but I hate the fact that amongst the conference flags that are flown at the Big12 baseball tournament, there waves the ISU flag.

It's hard to get it right because AI has been designed to ignore the kind of prompts it takes get it right. Example: Fat ugly Aggie butch bitch...
