  1. I sure as hell hope so.
  2. Riffing (borrowing your term) off of your #4, and taking into consideration the ACC's experiment with allowing viewers to listen in on the on-field ref's conversations with the replay officials, how about televising the CFP Committee's deliberations? Let's let everybody hear the reasoning and the debate. I realize, of course that that can't happen for obvious reasons (not the least of which is the time said deliberations take), but wouldn't it be kind of nice to listen in, to see the sausage being made, as it were?
  3. I've always said that whether you go out of Texas to the east or to the south, the only real difference is the language.
  4. Actually, there are four: Notrefuckindame, UConn, Sacramento State, and Merrimack. ND is probably working hard behind the scenes to schedule all three of them for 2026--you know, birds of a feather, and like that.
  5. It's the same now as it always has been: You watch and hope that ou, aggy, and ND get boat-raced. I mean, they get their shit pushed in in supremely embarrassing fashion on national TV. I don't ever want to see any one of those cocksuckers ever win another game. Ever.
  6. In the NIL era, you have to manage your roster and make hard decisions. You pay NIL money for performance and there's just so much NIL money available at a given time. Loyalty to the maxed-out 3-star "good kid from a good family who bleeds orange and gives us 100% every time" is a luxury you can no longer afford. NIL has made it a two-way street now: If you perform, here's a check; if you don't/can't perform, hit the door, kid, we'll bring in somebody who can. Cold and harsh? You bet. Necessary? You bet.
  7. Yeah, they constipate me too.
  8. Naw, as I recall, we got fucked by a couple of Big-12 opponent-coaches' calculated, intentional, let's-fuck-UT poll votes. (Lookin' at you, Art Briles, you cocksucker. Texas #5?! Bullshit.)
  9. This today from The Mercury, Manhattan's daily fishwrap: "Klein, 36, is currently the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M, where he has been the past two seasons. Prior to that he was the offensive coordinator under Klieman. He’s a K-State icon, having led the Wildcats to a Big 12 title as quarterback in 201." I love exploring history's backstories--you learn something new every day, like the fact that Klein's hiring in 201 A.D. ranks right up there with Lucius Annius Fabianus and Marcus Nonius Arrius Mucianus serving as consuls in the Roman Empire, while in the Hellenistic world, Philip V of Macedon was defeated by a coalition of Greek states at the Battle of Chios after his failed siege of the city. Heavy-duty stuff indeed.
  10. There's precedent, all the way back to the 1500s. Only back then they called them Crusaders. Kasper Gutman: "What do you know, sir, about the Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem, later known as the Knights of Rhodes and other things?" Sam Spade: "Crusaders or something, weren't they?"
  11. BOMC, full-throated and doin' work.
  12. Late to the WTF party. Never mind.
  13. If Jimbo can't get hired this cycle, he may be unemployable. (Or, maybe there's just nobody left out there as stupid as aggy . . .)
  14. Latest word is it's a 50-50 chance: He either will or he won't.
  15. Maybe he can help us by telling Sark all he learned from playing aggy earlier this year. Or was it last year? . . . I forget.
  16. In Texas, it's "Ten dollars and other good and valuable consideration."
  17. Reminds me of that old Henny Youngman line: Guy catches his wife and his best friend in bed. He says, "Bernie, I have to; but you?"
  18. Three pretty good restaurants have gone tits-up in this location, but I can make one work here.
  19. The jokes write themselves . . .
