OU: win
@ TCU: loss
@ UGA: win
KU: loss
@ ISU: loss
Baylor: win
@ WVU: win
KSU: win
Ok St: win

@ OU: loss
@ Baylor: loss
<this is approximately when greggym and Cameltoe's next account will go quiet again>
vs ISU: win
@ Tech: loss
vs TCU: win
That leaves us at 18-13, 9-9 in the conference. Flip one of those road Ls to a W-- TCU, maybe-- and then win a game in the Big 12 tournament, and we have 20 wins and a winning record in a very tough conference. That's an NCAA resume-- low seed, of course, but we'd likely be in. yay Shaka

we also finished ranked in 1996 with five losses, two by > 20 points
even if we do get some weird poll benefit of the doubt because We's Texas, maybe we should stop losing so many fucking games

The Big 12 wants $20m for the TV rights to its stupid conference championship game. FOX is basically saying, "our best case scenario is a TX-OU rematch, and in two of the three years you've had this stupid game, the program with 70% of the conference's TV sets in its state didn't make it. Pass".
I know people want to say ZOMG CATASTROPHE!!!!! on the Internet, in response to everything, because we have to behave ourselves in all of the other aspects of our life, but this shouldn't surprise anyone. In terms of national interest and therefore marketability, the Big 12 is mostly Texas and partly Oklahoma. If the TV networks cut Division I to 32 teams, those are the only programs from this conference that would be included.
This is a two-team conference in terms of what TV networks are willing to pay for and casual fans want to watch. It has less than a decade to live. If you don't like realignment talk, you should probably prepare to fuck off to the NFL, because we are about to be front and center.

Funny how everyone gets on the CR for being a cesspool (it is), but damn it seems so many of the really racist POS hang in the football room. Ya just don't seem to see the shit y'all are rightly calling out there with the frequency of other rooms. Just my opinion of course, your results may vary.
Don't be a bitch, if there are racist posts in the football "room", point them out.

Recruiting?
What is the quid pro quo there? "I gave a kid from this neighborhood a $200,000 scholarship to play football at a university whose name he could barely spell, but I feel like I owe a debt to those of you from the area who don't play football good, so. Yeah. Yay me."

Maybe things were much scarier in 1970 than they were in 1948.
Yeah it must have been a real quick spike, cause it wasn't too scary in 1948 and it wasn't too scary for Ernie Davis or the black players on integrated teams that played there in the 60s, and then it wasn't too scary in 1972 when Texas had two losses and Penn State had four years of film study of the wishbone offense to go through (and the wishbone was no longer undefeated). But in 1969, boy howdy, you couldn't take a roster with a half dozen black players to Dallas, hell no, you had to go some place safe and racially harmonious like Miami.
1968 Miami riot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia1968 Miami Riot Date August 7–8, 1968 Location Caused by Deplorable housing conditions
Racial discrimination
Poor economic conditions
Poor police-community relations
Economic competition with Cuban refugeesGoals Economic opportunities for African Americans. Methods Protests, unorganized vandalism of white-owned businesses in Liberty City. Status Suppressed Parties to the civil conflict Lead figures Ralph Abernathy, President of SCLCCasualties Death(s) 3 Injuries 29 Arrested 200 A group of black organizations in Miami called for “a mass rally of concerned Black people,” to take place on August 7, 1968, at the Vote Power building in Liberty City, a black neighborhood. Sponsors were the Vote Power League, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), and numerous smaller organizations. The protest was not provoked by a specific incident, but was intended “to show their frustration with the nation’s unfair political, social, and economic systems.”[1] Another scholar described the root causes as “discrimination, proscription, and segregation.”[2] A more extensive statement from the same scholar says the “major grievances... included deplorable housing conditions, economic exploitation, bleak employment prospects, racial discrimination, poor police-community relations, and economic competition with Cuban refugees.”[3]:iv The date was chosen to coincide (because of the publicity opportunity) with the Republican National Convention being held in Miami Beach.[3]:202
Riots[edit]
After a white reporter was forcibly ejected from the “Blacks Only” rally, Miami police responded with five cars and a carbine unit, which exacerbated tensions.[3]:203–204 A white man in a car brandishing a “Wallace for President” bumper sticker attempted to drive through the vicinity. As he passed the Vote Power building, his automobile was met with a barrage of stones and bottles and crashed into another car. The driver fled on foot, and his car was overturned and set on fire. Vandals ransacked white-owned businesses in Liberty City’s commercial district. Police eventually quelled the outbreak with tear gas.[3]:205
Florida governor Claude Kirk, and SCLC president Ralph Abernathy, both attending the Republican National Convention, and Metro-Dade County mayor Chuck Hall arrived and held a meeting with community spokesmen. No actions to resolve the black communities’ issues were agreed on. The Governor suggested that they continue the discussion at 11 AM the following morning.[3]:206–207
When, the following day, Kirk and local authorities only sent emissaries and did not appear themselves, larger-scale violence broke out. Rioters stoned police, fire-bombed area markets, and looted white-owned shops. Miami officials requested assistance from the Florida Highway Patrol, which used a cloud of tear gas dispensed by a modified version of an insect-control machine to restore order. That afternoon Miami police, responding to what they thought was sniper fire, killed two residents and left a fourteen-year-old boy with a bullet through his chest. No weapons were found in the vicinity. Police, apparently afraid that the unrest would spread to the Overtown neighborhood, shot and killed an unarmed man there as well.[3]:207–208
The Florida National Guard was called out, and a dusk-to-dawn curfew was imposed. 800 National Guard and 200 sheriff deputies restored order, and heavy rains the next day ended the riot.[3]:209–210

The press did not work well at all last night. Kansas' athletes were too good and too well-coached.
You misunderstand. The team played loose last night; there was no reason to try to shake them out of overthinking and tentative play because it wasn't there last night. That's why I said IF I saw a team playing like that, THEN I would change things up.

you barely have competent coaching, more to the point, but I'm trying to figure out how it could be done more than "whether"
