  1. I’m not a network executive, but why would anyone make that choice? Put Baylor-Utah against Texas and no one would notice. I’d actually like to watch the Oklahoma State game, but it’s not happening in that time slot. Is it contractually driven somehow?
  2. The “Dancing Potato?” I don’t even know what these things are called anymore.
  3. When you have the best uniform in organized sports, I don’t care what they call it.
  4. If I had to choose, I’d keep the Texas on the chest rather than bring back stripes on the pants
  5. I’d like them, and Texas, to lose the names on the chest, but that’s a keeper.
  6. I like ASU the best of the three, but they should know what they need to go back to on their helmets. Tech stripe is pedestrian. Unfortunately for WVU, their state doesn’t have a cool outline and the WV is also to small, imo.
  7. The bonus, at least in the short term, is that they brought in a guy who clearly wants his QB to run while their QB makes Ash look like Cal Ripken. I’ll be beyond shocked if Weigman is their QB by the time Texas curb stomps them in November.
  8. Wait, it was an IROC? He made it sound like a base model.
  9. Aggies made the sign. It’s very meta.
  10. JFC, let it go. Went to Lincoln and won, when that still meant something, getting a dislocated finger pulled back into place on the sideline. Went to Manhattan and won, when that wasn’t something Texas did well
  11. Well, I think where the wheels come off for him is that, inevitably, his team will benefit from questionable calls and then it’s all a question of whose ox is gored. Everyone is going to tell everyone else “it all evens out” while being certain their particular team gets uniquely fucked in a way that doesn’t even out. Well, that and his conspiracy theory bullshit than ESPN is fucking them and the only way they can be elite is by exposing the grand conspiracy. The funny part of that is the implicit recognition that no one gives a fuck about them and everyone wants to see ND and the sips do well instead.
  12. Incoming guests who are fans of the team a guy’s son plays for, on top of that. I don’t have any idea how much that influenced the decision, rather than straight up marketing, but still.
  13. If I were a coach and wanted to dig up every advantage, I’d love to know which guys did or didn’t call holding as much. Or which guys did or didn’t tend to call PI as much. And even which might be more susceptible to real-time feedback. Or whatever. And I’d be really surprised if teams don’t make some issues known to the conference.
  14. I’m way too superficial to speak to any of that. When I was growing up and getting into football, Woody Hayes seemed like kind of a douche. And in 1969 Ohio State was ranked #1 all season. Until Michigan beat them. Without that loss, Texas doesn’t have a national championship that year. (Yes, I’m old, but in my defense I started liking Texas and college football freakishly early in life.) So, Michigan has always been one of my go-tos for wanting a team to win. That said, I’m looking for Texas to administer the kind of beatdown that gets brought up in hushed tones whenever Wolverine fans look back on their worst experiences.
  15. Two Longhorn caps, zero Wolverine caps. Seems like a sign. Another sign. TEXAS!
  16. Watch a game sometime. “We watched them run that play in practice this week.” It’s not uncommon for them to point out new formations, how a team intends to address certain situations, or whatever. And that doesn’t even get into whatever they don’t share directly on the air. Tom Brady’s access as a broadcaster will be restricted compared to other broadcasters if the Raiders thing happens. For multiple reasons, yeah, but partly because he’d have potentially beneficial access. It’s a conflict of interest. Or at least it has the appearance of one Better, imo, just not to have them making predictions partially based on that kind of info.
  17. I don’t think anyone would claim info is perfectly siloed, but I think most people could agree that the guys calling the game get access to more info than most, sometimes very specific stuff, and it’s not a good look to have them making predictions when people know this.
  18. He has access the general public doesn’t.
  19. As my GF would say, “It’s like you’ve never talked to a woman before.”
  20. It’s times like this when I wish I more social intelligence and could discern sarcasm from honest questions. But, yeah, there’s less bait in lakeside stores.
  21. Those refs and their ND bias.
  22. Kids these days with no taste for the classics.
