Yeah, but most of these jokers won't be able to haul much.

Does the B12 have value? We’ll find out how much in the next media contract. Until then, Cody Campbell will try to drive national media revenue sharing. 😂
If any Left Behind wants to play a non-con game in Austin, or maybe even a 2-1 split, I suggest they begin their call with CDC’s assistant with, “Thank you for carrying us for all those decades”.UT's home games are all sold out, correct?
We'll see how the actual gate and revenue get hit with the 3 spares we have lined up: SJSU, UTEP, and Sam. Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to a 2 for 1 with Tech or Okie St. UH, TCU, and Baylor can rightfully fuck off, though.

I've gone back and watched the game twice now, because I hate myself. I am in complete agreement with you. Sark started off with a somewhat vanilla game plan, although not nearly as vanilla as people have been saying. The more I watch, the more I see open pass catchers that Arch didn't even try to hit. And that's on top of the times he made the right reads but fucked up the throw.
Why do this to yourself? I must say I admire your intestinal fortitude, though.

Capulin?
IDK where there's an active volcano in NM. Yes, there are plenty of extinct ones. Geez...reading is fundamental.

A few of my fellow Alum friends aren't big fans of them pushing the Star logo this year but I think its cool, we pretty much wear a different helmet every game so next time we wear white they will be happy to have the Super Cat or Script Cats back...
Do your fellow alums think it makes y'all look like Cowboys' wannabes? TSU has always had the Star in its seal, right? FWIW, I like the SuperCat logo too.

Clean look for the Bobcats @ beepbeeps
I like the helmets with the TSU star.

I think the House settlement also had a "clearinghouse" for NIL to evaluate whether the payments constitute legitimate NIL value and aren't just booster payments. It sounded really dumb and would almost certainly never even attempt to cancel an NIL deal. Even if it did, the name Manning itself would make his deals essentially limitless.
I don't know how you can accurately assess the "NIL value" of a player endorsement. That will always be a subjective, more opinion-based valuation. I mean, if Vuori is overpaying for Manning advertisement it will adversely affect their business. I've never heard of that brand. Apparently, they're based in CA.
Companies measure ROI for marketing differently, too.

I think all P4 programs are limited to $20M in rev share to players (for now at least). NIL is still the difference maker and I have no idea how Neby is doing in that regard. I assume nothing special since they still stink.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there's no cap on NIL earnings for players, right?
I've seen and heard that Arch is earning $6.5 MM this year, but I don't know if it's accurate. I mean, it's feasible with Red Bull, eyewear, clothing, and other individual endorsements from a car dealer, right? The NCAA can't crack down on these commercial opportunities according to the new law(s), correct? No, I haven't looked at this closely.

Volcano Vista? That’s a school?
Apparently, this is a real school. IDK where there's an active volcano in New Mexico, though.

The future is not going to have even media distributions.
Nope
The bluebloods and ratings-drivers will want a commensurate piece of the overall pie. This is why we broke away from the NCAA for TV contracts in the first place. OU, among others, was dissatisfied with its share.

Some guy who is full of shit
Well, yes, that's implied if he's an aggy mouthpiece. And who gives a fuck what they think?
I had some mouthy, dipshit aggy tell me how overrated Manning was last Friday night. I reminded him, "If talking were a sport, A&M would have 20 national championships and win the Director's Cup damn near every year". Sumbitch was right against tOSU, though.

Didn't you guys win natties in the SWC? And your '05 Big 12 schedule looks pretty much identical in terms of strength to what you had in your last decade of Big 12 play. The North sucked ass that year and OU and Aggy were both shitty. Baylor was old Baylor and OK State was also dog shit.
I don't think Texas is winning because the competition is better. It probably has more to do with Sark being a damn good coach who doesn't tolerate the shitty culture that had set in (see the bus rant after we beat your ass in '21).
Don't get me wrong, the SEC move is a clear success for Texas, but (pure outsider perspective) I think that has less to do with the SEC and more to do with Texas.
This whole "playing to the level of competition" narrative is tiresome, bc you're right. 3 outta 4 (or 8 of 9 using SEC methodology) national championships came while UT was a member of the SWC. The "jihad" argument is somewhat true, but look at our records against SWC foes historically. Did it matter overall? Not really.
Great teams beat whoever they're matched up against. UT has been far from great for a while, until the past 2 years. We've done well against everybody but UGA and tOSU.

Had an aggy send me the Ryan Clark video this morning as proof that Arch is overrated and sucks. I had to walk him through why Ryan Clark is full of shit. That said, Arch needs to calm his nerves and improve.
Who is Ryan Clark?

It’s not gonna happen for a ton of reasons, but wouldn’t Texas be expected to dominate that division, and then have 5 non-con/non-division games to play other bluebloods?
UT would if the media partners get their way. TV money is running the show now.

Yeah, that truly limited the out of state skill positions they would bring in and the massive funnel of OL that were essentially brought raised since PeeWee in the Corn system. Iirc, all residents of Nebraska used to be accepted to NU, grades and scores aside or maybe it was just the OL "walk ons". It's been a long time but I recall some absolute bullshit in that regard.
Good SI article on it from 2023
Tom Osborne thought of himself as a saint for bringing those guys to Lincoln and keeping them off the street.
That was mighty white of him. (no pun intended 😉)

You gotta give Corn some credit for improvisation and pragmatism. They were one of the first programs to invest heavily in first-rate facilities and strength & conditioning (plus "supplements" for their walk-on OL). Those farm boys didn't gain all of their size from baling hay and alfalfa.

God help us if we end up back with a SWC redux of Tech, Baylor, UH, TCU, A&M, and SMU.
Don't leave out Arky and Rice!

I think the expectation was that OU-NU would be a common matchup in the Big XII title game. It’s Nebys fault for sucking shit since ‘99.
Well, it became harder for them to win without Prop 48's on the roster

It's a good thing Boise State decided to join the new Pac and not the American.

This is how Tech should look for home games. Yours is the only beveled logo I like, @Iceman.
What's your opinion of the red helmets?

On the one hand, thrilled "Wazzu" is back as a name. The admin thinking it wasn't serious enough for Washington State as an institution was a joke.
On the other... not the most attractive helmet
The script helmets have proliferated across CFB and TXHSFB. I'm not a fan of them, especially if the school already has a well-known and attractive logo. Wazzu's was cutting-edge for its time and is timeless, IMO.
Their old-school Cougars script looks better than the WAZZU helmet

Oregon definitely makes the most out of green & gold. But, the kids love their black unis too much to get rid of 'em. Uncle Phil takes care of his Ducks.

No, unless Tech season ticket holders are unloading their seats for a premium on the secondary market.
