  1. I understand Udoh's situation and never begrudged him for leaving. The thing the academies DO have to counter that is the value of their degree and the leadership experience from fulfilling that service commitment. That had to factor in at least a little bit in the original decision to attend, right? My Old Grad son and I were having this exact discussion during the game, and he suggested players might opt for NIL money and ROTC at the civilian schools. I wanted to throw up and start laughing at the same time. ROTC can get you there too, but if you're already at an academy, it would be a complete change of culture, without the equivalent support of athletic obligations being met "halfway" by the other entities at the civilian institutions. I don't see them leaving for NIL if military leadership is also on their heart.
  2. 2 things I would like to see added to the bowl season, and I doubt they are legal- but they damned sure would be justified: 1) Make 25% or more of the NIL money payable to players upon completing the season with the team in good faith. 2) Coaches are not allowed to leave their teams until the season is complete. Tie money into it or whatever. Stop the bullshit before teams are even done playing. IDGAF about their future teams- fulfill your current commitment. Also, this is Godspower Nwawuihe, and you're damned right I had to google his last name. He WAS a Freshman QB for Army who had great potential and speed. On the regular season, he had 9 carries for 25 yards, while having zero passing attempts. In the Fenway Bowl vs UCONN, he played RB, which granted- for Army isn't a huge move- but they gave him reps and he ate, to the tune of 171 yards and 2 TDs on 12 carries with a long of 70 yards with at least 4 broken tackles. It is common to laud the extra practices a team gets for Bowl season; but if you don't think that game gave Army faithful a lot to look forward to after Nwawuihe ran away with the Offensive MVP award, welp, you don't want to see any positives in the Bowl games. Tis but one example, but also an outstanding one.
  3. National Treasure 4: Origins We get King George's shit this time
  4. Their coach left. As a player, if you're gonna have a new regime; get what's best for you. I also embrace the thunderdome. It was already broken before the portal. Now it's just public.
  5. Interesting map. What areas do you see having higher or lower participation in 2026 vs that of 2024?
  6. The video in the article about Cody Campbell is about the birth of the transfer portal. The article is pretty even handed, especially with regard to Campbell's missteps early on, and not being universally liked by Tech faithful. He adjusted. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/47412557/cody-campbell-booster-texas-tech-college-sports
  7. The Bucs/ Panthers on Saturday and the Ravens/ Steelers on Sun night are straight up playoff games in Week 18, winner advances. Loser cleans out the lockers. Then Niners and Seahawks on Saturday for #1 seed? Yeah, that's a great NFL slate for what can sometimes be skeleton crews and teams that have already quit on their coaches. I mean, WGAF about those Sunday daytime slots?
  8. It worked for New England... #1 seed always dominates. It's dumb to even play the games.
  9. You'd love his employer. No layoffs in the history of the company. Still privately owned. Yes, he develops code, as do others on his immediate team.
  10. Discussion with son who does code for a major financial technology company- "What percentage of your work involves AI?" "All of it now. But it lets us focus on the non-redundant bullshit" That being said, IMHO, it's like asking a car manufacturer what percentage of your assemblers use pneumatic/ electric wrenches? Is it different than turning the nuts/ bolts by hand? Yeah. Is in inherently bad? no. Is the productivity increased? Massively. Hell, Santa at our house ain't doing shit without a cordless screwdriver any more.
  11. Many in society can't laugh at themselves any more. Why would we laugh with anyone else? See also: the amount of anti-depressants used by Americans. Combine that with a massive victimhood mentality and there you go.
  12. If Regular Season has "instant classics" that would be a prime candidate. I am entertained, Maximus!
  13. Lol. Hyperbole much. Jiminy Christmas.
  14. Iceman replied to Derka's topic in Basketball
    I'm all about players getting what they can. Love the portal and have from the jump. If they have played as a pro beyond the collegiate level, they should be ineligible for collegiate play, IMHO. Note: they didn't ask me.
  15. They are both Frito Lay products...which is weird, as far as duplication goes. I like these too.
  16. Have a very good friend in St Louis whose daughter just finished 1st Semester at KU. She is Social Welfare major and loves it. Dad says it's a big school with a small town feel

    If they are from Eastern Europe, they are on the Utah teams or Illinois.
  18. on the math team? I can't remember the Pioneers ever doing shit in football. Their alltime PO record is 14-25-1. they made it to the Semis in '77.
  19. I would never have brought booze to my mom's house, but all bets were off when she came to ours. Same goes for my in-laws. It was never a big deal. Respect their wishes. Have what we would normally have at our place. People tended to hang out longer when everyone came to our house, and from that you can draw your own conclusions.
  20. Is Jurassic Park a better draw?
  21. The Big XII started in 1996. Surely all opinions are the same now. Texas has been gone for 2 years, give or take. Good for them. Not gonna dispute your retorts, because they were true enough for some for them to have happened. It's an embarrassment, to be honest. There is still an element in our fanbase that don't give a fuck. And some of us never have or will do the horns down. Be who the fuck you are. Keep strivin every day. That's the very fiber of people insane enough to settle, eek out a living, and dare to prosper in West Texas. Not everyone wants to be there, and that's cool too. Wreck Em!!!
  22. My conspiracy theory is fuck the SEC. You folks thinking the objective is to join you completely miss the mark on assessing Tech mindset. We don't have to be with you or 'belong,' that shit's for the idiots in Brazos County.
  23. Sure. It's worked so far. These issues don't even really exist if nobody owns anything. 'Those folks have too much' is not the road to solving other people's problems.
  24. Definitely want to attend a game at Autzen eventually. Also have a friend who played OL for the Ducks in the late 80's/ early 90's. Like seeing them do well, but not this time in Miamah.
