    My dearly departed Mom lived in Brazil in the 1950s, both in Rio de Janeiro (since it overlooks Rio) and Sao Paulo, and had even visited the Christ the redeemer statue at least once.

    She remembers hearing it mentioned in the news, even back then, that the Christ the redeemer statue would get struck by lightning.

    Things struck by lightning are always incredible pictures, but the hysteria is unwarranted.

    The Christ the redeemer statue gets struck regularly by lightning.

    This is not new.

    It's hit by lightning up to 6 times per year, per OGlobo, the largest news and media outlet in Brazil:

    https://oglobo.globo.com/rio/noticia/2023/02/numero-de-raios-que-caem-no-estado-do-rio-aumentou-33percent.ghtml

    And it goes on to say that the Rio de Janeiro state that the city of Rio de Janeiro is in, gets a ton of lightning strikes.

    Who cares? 

    As long as it's not the SEC logo front and center, it's really nothing. 

    The shit 12 logo on the sleeve or something would make me never buy the shirt or hat though, that's a deal breaker.

    I would have used Groundskeeper Willie, Fry, Bender (Futurama), and Roger (American Dad!) for some of these..... maybe we can for the new-look SEC.  Lulz.

    Happy about all of this, but can someone explain why UT and ou don't receive full SEC share the first year in the league?  The fuck does that have to do with paying off the Big 12?

    Smells like the "rookies carry the bags" BS that no one else in the SEC had to do..... piggy, aggy, misery.

    I mean clearly they were in the same hemisphere since we failed to beat them generally in either football or Men's Basketball.

    Are we A&M now? Pretending we are superior to schools we lose to? If we are better then why aren't we better? 

    Anyway hopefully we take these last few Big 12 titles on the way out.

    Because Bellmont wasn't committed to WINNING, that's why we haven't been better.

    Yep, and fan engagement should improve playing BU, Tech, and TCU on a regular basis. Not to mention KU and others in hoops. Big 12 hype and exposure will help their athletic department in all facets. 

    Nah. They played Rapelor/Tech/pussy-frogs in the SWC already, you younger people forget, and there was never any draw, never any "excitement" other than those fast-break cougar-high teams that never won titles because everyone figured out that they couldn't shoot free-throws. Reid Gettys could, but everyone knew not to foul him.

    Their "fans" will continue to do what cougar-high fans always do..... not show up for anything unless they're playing TEXAS.

    Being in the Big12 won't mean shit to attendance for football/basketball, putting your life on the line getting robbed or worse (and/or getting your car stolen or stripped) in that horrific warzone campus area (Greater Third Ward). It's never been worth it, not in the 70s, and not now.

    Same as it ever was.

    Why would SDS propose an 18-team SEC with no OU? While adding BU, Memphis, and UH? Very odd. He must be a morning drinker.

    Who wants to throw yet another lifeline to Raeplor, cougar High, and add Memphis State?

    Nope! You LOSE! Welcome to Oblivion!

    I just love the replies…

     

    Too much filler and Botox I am guessing. She got roasted on Twitter for her appearance at the Grammies (that same picture) and claimed people are attacking her because they are ageist.

    Whenever I see this space-alien look, from whatever reasons, I think of Shirley MacLaine, who got the space-alien look way before she got to 88.

    The number 7 is what is weird to me.  So unless that is max number of picks Fox gets from the B12, they have to have the schedule. If they do not have the schedule and then is just the max potential picks FOX has first dibs on, it is a massive slap in the face for all the other schools in the B12 and a signal how big of a deal losing Texas and OU is and how fucked the future media rights are for the B12 in Fox's eyes.

    This.

    It's sunshine-pumping to even claim that Big12 will be "SO marketable!" after Texas leaves. Fuck Mobilehoma! 

    After Texas leaves, the Big12 might as well be a glorified-WAC, or worse another SWAC. Lulz.

    BUT no one wants to say any of this now, because it will hurt all the left-behinds' feelings!  They can all GO TO HELL! 

    They face Oblivion, and I wouldn't be surprised if any of them drop football in the next 20 years because they can't gravy-train off TEXAS anymore.

    Friend-of-a-friend when we were all on The 40 Acres, shook his hand, seemed a down-to-Earth good guy, German major.

    I'll be that guy.  I was at that game.  I hope we beat them so bad their permanent stands fall down.

    20 years ago tonight, the Houston vs. Texas football game - Cougar Football  - Coogfans

    They'll rebuild the rickety-dangerous-bleachers JUST for the Texas game, "declare them unsafe" an hour before game time so no one can sit in them AGAIN, and then those cougar high pussies will have cops enforcing that no Texas fans are allowed to sit in the permanent stadium seating -- just like the shit they always pulled in the Dome to force Texas fans to sit in the endzone seats, the worst in the place, while the best seats sat empty for the ENTIRE GAME with ushers guarding them for the entire game to make sure the Texas fans didn't move down into them. I'm certain you olds remember that shit also.

    THAT is how Petty that black-hole-POS commuter-high-school is!
