  1. Utah is just OSU, KSU or TCU in the mountains, they have a really good gig right now and I can see why they cling to it. They are a school that actually gives a shit, puts efforts towards its program with fan support and resources and gets to play the plucky underdog while the beating the shit out of programs that don’t care and only need to knock off an overrated USC or Oregon once every other year. They join the Big 12 and all of a sudden every week is a dog fight and their now everyone’s target instead of being the plucky little team trying to pull the upset.
  2. Ari Wasserman is a window licking troglodyte that regularly gets played into willing pushing narratives for other actors. He straight up gets conned into saying pure uncut Texags copium because Loch and his ilk give him some access, I have no doubt that Venables just having a conversation with Ari and firing off a bunch of empty coaching platitudes was an out of body experience for Ari.
  3. We fucking hate playing those schools because it’s a lose-lose for Texas and OU, we beat the absolute fuck out of them and their fans are “ wow a bunch of a 5* stars beat a bunch of nobodies, Texas should always beat us, who cares.” If we but if we lose it’s “wow a bunch of 5* at blue blood lost to a bunch of nobodies.” UT/OU get zero credit for beating the shit out of big 12 and get clowned when we lose. Of course ISU/KU/Tech/ loves this arrangement because nobody gives a shit when y’all suck shit through a straw for decades with but y’all milk the fuck out of the 1 in 10 times you manage to beat a bad OU or Texas. Both Texas and OU fans have grown to hate this arrangement because we can’t enjoy the season when we are playing not to lose instead or playing to win.
  4. While Dabo and Clemson have the results to back up their methods but everyone who has tried to replicate their methods somewhere else have been absolute disasters, so come on Brett double down.
  5. You realize Urban Meyer fucking hates Tom Herman right? Texas unceremoniously tossing Herman into the gutter and then trying hire Meyer probably tickled his taint with joy.
  6. Ari is a 247, Rivals tier team beat writer that managed to get hired by a national outlet. He is very vocal in his dumb opinion of stars trump everything and when people point out how dumb this opinion is and use Texas as an example he doubles down and says Texas is a special case and he’s still right. That’s also why he has thrown in with A&M, Jimbo’s elite recruiting was going to turn A&M into an elite program and prove his thesis right, and we now see how that’s going. Most coaching staffs and ADs don’t want to talk about recruiting in general and they certainly aren’t going to sit down with a national write who is a “recruiting/NIL” guy so Ari can only talk to handlers and bagmen or programs that are insecure enough that they desperately seek any sort of media approval. Which is how you end up with the Cook A&M NIL bullshit, the Texas side ignored him so he ran with what ever bullshit damage control A&M fed him. It also doesn’t help that he is also thin skinned as fuck and gets upset when people call him out, and he seeks out the approval of takes. In short Ari Wasserman is basically just a national writer version of Billy Liucci.
  7. Bruh what the fuck are those scores? Not even peak Lincoln and a Heisman QB could win this spring game as an offense, like I get stacking board in favor of one side, but does Brett have such low faith in his Defense that he has to actively buff the defense scoring.
  8. I highly doubt this, in order for Petrino to pull off a coup he would need to be wooing some power players at A&M and thus we would be hearing some buzz around Petrino with shotS being taken at Jimbo from the Aggie media. As @closetojumping pointed out the silence from the propaganda ministry is deafening and it looks more like it’s March 1945 for the Jimbo regime and the Aggie faithful.
  9. Bruh what part of A&M athletics compares to the greatness of Chili’s southwest egg rolls and big mouth bites?
  10. I dream of an iPod loaded full of Nickleback, Halo 3 with 630,000 players in matchmaking and Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley lead Texas playing on a 75 inch projector TV.
  11. I fucking love Creed and Nickleback and all the other focus group rock bands of the 2000’s. Us baby millennials got a pretty damn good thing going for us right now and are enjoying our nostalgia kick.
  12. Is it just me or is there a lot of fans, media and even administrators who based on some of the things they say have talked themselves into the belief that the B1G and SEC aren’t sustainable and that they will be a reckoning and they big 2 will collapse and UT,OU, A&M, USC, UCLA will come crawling back and Networks will have lost their investments? Like I definitely understand that belief for college athletics as a whole, but the idea that the Pac 12, ACC will put last the B1G/SEC even in a meager form is just laughable able to me.
  13. Utah uses the Big 12 program blueprint to beat the shit out of PAC 12 programs that don’t give a shit with only UO, UW and USC being programs they need to actively try to knock off. They are a high floor low ceiling program just like all the programs in the Big 12, they are afraid of having a week in week our dog fight against teams like, OSU, TCU, Baylor, K state, UC, UCF etc instead of having 5 free wins from dead beat Pac 12 programs like Cal, Stanford, UCLA, Colorado, Arizona etc.
  14. You don’t make noise if you have the leverage. Remember how the Big 12 and Bowlsby howled to the media and anyone who would listen while Texas/OU/SEC sat silently.
  15. I mean they are right about Texas ruining the SEC, if Texas wasn’t joining the SEC A&M wouldn’t have had to leak the move to the press and completely blow up the SEC well laid plans of playoff expansion, media deals and conference realignment and pissoff the SEC main office and all the other conferences members. If Texas wasn’t joining the SEC they wouldn’t need to massively overpay for the 2022 recruiting class and spit in the face of every coaching staff in the SEC. If Texas wasn’t joining the SEC, A&M wouldn’t be throwing a bitch fit and trying to duck Texas with advocating for a 1-8 conference schedule that is opposed by all the power programs and ESPN, and they wouldn’t be openly talking about hosting a home game for a conference schedule that’s hasn’t been decided yet. If it wasn’t for Texas, A&M wouldn’t be the insane person making a complete ass of themselves and becoming universally despised by everyone involved.
  16. So it’s very clear that A&M is trying to speak Texas @ A&M into existence considering nobody but them have said anything about it.
  17. We leave in 2025, we forfeit 2 years of conference payouts and leave with out an exit penalty. We leave in 2024, we forfeit 2023 conference payouts, we owe the Big 12 our conference payouts for 2024z
  18. Aggy royally fucked up a master play by Sankey and the SEC. The original plan was to expand and renew the playoffs in 2021-2022 with ESPN and announce UT OU to the SEC in 2023 for a clean break in 2025 from the big 12. Aggy blew the plan up by leaking OUT early hoping to kill the move and now we have been left scrambling.
  19. The Big 12 still owns Texas’s media rights, that’s what all the negotiations are about and are worth way way way more than what the conference pays out.
  20. That’s Michigan’s and Fox problem, not Texas’s and the powers that be absolutely want OUT in the SEC/ESPN in 2024, to counter USC/UCLA in the Big 10/FOX. If you think there is some honesty and good sportsmanship here I got some ocean front property to sell you.
  21. We still don’t get it, the exit penalty for leaving the Big 12 is the loss of 2 years of conference payouts, Texas must inform the Big 12 that they intended to leave which they will do this summer if they can’t come to an early exit agreement, at which point the Big12 will with hold conference payouts.
  22. Texas and OU get none, that’s the exit penalty.
  23. No, all Texas and OU do is spoil the Big12 at this point. Imagine a UT vs OU Big 12 title game the entire narrative is going to be solely about OUT and the SEC the big 12 will be an afterthought.
  24. What are the penalties on canceling a home and home? Texas could really fuck Fox, play UM at DKR on ABC and then cancel the return trip to UM in 2026 so Fox gets nothing.
  25. I wonder if the UM and OSU games are now under threat, Texas at the Big House and Horse Shoe are worth 10x shitty non cons vs Tech and KSU I wonder if UT and OU are threatening to basically never schedule a Fox program again.
