    Fuck it Herman and the team are just going to show in Baton Rouge on a Tuesday and challenge LSU.

    Hope they bring the portable air conditioner to keep LSU defensive players from cramping up after the half.

    Heh. You know the reasoning changes and evolves for each season. Like one year Miami was voted over Notre Dame because Miami won the head-to-head despite having the same record. Then just a few years later Florida State was voted over Notre Dame even though Notre Dame won the head-to-head and they had the same record, for reasons. Because one year everybody agreed head-to-head was really important and a few years later they agreed it wasn't.

    So it's a subjective beauty contest and everyone is gonna argue about it? 2020 ain't ALL different.

    No but the explanations given in the past don't matter because each year they are going to do what brings in the bux and explain it however. Some years head to head will matter, some years conference, some years "body of work" some years came on strong late. Whatever explains away any criticisms. Joel Klatt bless his heart explained the bias through statistical analysis last year.

    BIG sucks their own dick just as much maybe even more than the SEC. They wanted to lead the charge for canceling fall sports and thought everyone else besides their Pac 12 lackeys would follow suit. Now they’re running back tail tucked. Pac 12 will wait a few days to pretend they think for themselves but they dont

    Yup. Look at Kevin Warren as well, he didn't do this for player safety. Their idea about player safety makes no sense, they wanted their players to play two seasons next year? Also the games indoors in the winter/spring?

    This seems like forever ago — the night the Captain had a hat trick the night we had my firm’s tickets and the wife and I went with my best buddy from college and his wife.

    Winter Classic was so cool.

    Awesome!

    My son's first game, second to last game in American Airlines before the bubble.

    Probably not worth another thread, so I'll say it. I dont like the design of the "We Are One" patch. It looks like an advertisement. Maybe the real issue is how much bullshit we have on the front of the jersey to begin with. Look at Sterns who has a captain patch, too. It's starting to look like a goddamn NASCAR car. 

    Optimally I would put the "We Are One" where the B12 logo is, because why the fuck do we need that on there, and ditch the Horns on the collar. 

    And before anyone gets their briefs in a tizzy, I have NO issue with the message and think the players are well within their rights to ask for it on the jersey, it just seems like it was kind of rushed from a design standpoint and that we can do better. 

     

    This is my issue as well. 6 (six) fucking different patches above the number. Logo AND Texas. Ok I get it. Nike swoosh, big 12 patch, statement patch, captions patch... Just find an excuse to go back to the "retro" throwback jersey every game from here on. Shit looked sweet.

    Well no shit if an elite team plays against Kansas instead of Alabama it makes it easier to go undefeated.  But it’s harder to be an elite team in a conference with a second rate reputation.  We sucked in part because of the league we were in.  Neither Texas nor OU recruited the number of NFL players in the 2010s that they did in the 2000s.  We still should have done much better on the field, especially relative to teams like Baylor, Okie State and TCU, but we weren’t in the big leagues and that put a ceiling on recruiting on top of all our other issues.  And not having talent was the ultimate problem.

    By your logic, we would have been better off in the SWC.  Why exactly do you think our football and basketball programs became markedly better on a national level after joining the Big 12 than they were in the last years of the SWC?  I guess you think we would have been even more relevant in the SWC.  Think of how much easier it would have been for us to win national championships by playing all our games against Rice and SMU!

    Go independent, play whoever the fuck we want, stop sharing money with Baylor. Problem solved. 

    Aggy isn't getting any better going to the SEC as far as I can tell, they had that one magical Jonnie football year then it's been shit. Jumbo shrimp Fisher is the perfect coach for them though.

    Watch yourself, PLH. Don’t get personal about this. My kids, one of whom is severely autistic, would say I’m a great dad, but one who makes mistakes. Like everyone else. 

    You went too far, brother.  

    Quit being a pussy.

    Sure. But that’s not what happened. It was end of the game with everything to be decided and the refs made a terrible call that was not needed that decided the game. Your point is not a good one. 

    Yeah, in the NBA the end of game used to be "swallow the whistle". In hockey OT they let em play, don't wanna have it end on a ticky tack power play. In the NFL it's the opposite, they take the game over.
