    In what way? They’re all among the 131 Carnegie Classification Institutions of Very High Research Activity. 

     

     

     

     

    I know Texas State isn’t MIT or anything but the difference between “high” and “very high” research activity doesn’t seem to make a shit really unless you are some highfalutin academic snob… have come a very long way since the ol SWT days as far as those same academic snobs would be concerned.

    What’s the worst case scenario for SDSU? Going independent in football/WCC for hoops for a year? 

    Think the worst case scenario is going independent for a year and then not getting an invite to either PAC or Big 12 and then have to come crawling back to the MWC... who at this point may tell them to jump off a bridge...and ending up in the WAC.

    So 0.21 BAC….that’s like shitfaced snot slinging damn near vomiting and passing out level of drunk, right?

    Pretty much

    Read a clipping from the police report on twitter that said he had a blown tire and the police came to help him and when they noticed he couldn't even figure out how to get his car out of the middle of the road thats when they actually pulled him over and started to suspect he was drunk. 

  4. Not fully up to speed on all the details of the Fairfield Lake State Park Issue/Debacle but do find it rather strange that TPWD, who historically was/is fairly cash strapped from the Legislature diverting sporting goods sales tax revenue that was supposed to be going to TPWD to a myriad of other things "cuz the Lege knows best...", would put a bunch of money into that State Park on Leased land without some sort of legit plan/offer in place to buy it given the opportunity.

    The important thing is we're all now free to drive our shitbox cars down to the bare cords in the radial tires. Working brakes, headlights & signals? Fuck 'em--that's for woke soyboys.

     

    As someone who browses R/JustRolledIntoTheShop semi regularly can guarantee this was already happening… so scary to see what some people are driving next to you at 80mph on the highway.

    Not sure I agree with this.  Of course we will never know if Leach would have declined,   but GOBs aside, Leach is still very much beloved and respected by Tech fans.  There’s a significant rift that exists within our fan base to this day because of continued support of TSO.  Mike was absolutely aware of those feelings.

    Mike would likely have quipped something about having to die to get in or whatever.

    Pretty sure I have a good idea what Mike Leach, who was willing to rack up $20k-30k in legal fees a month with Wayne Dolcefino fighting open records lawsuits against Texas Tech, would have said to anyone at Texas Tech about accepting anything other than a big check and an apology:

    Dear WSU:

    spacer.png

    Think more accurately PAC12 has got the ego,  WSU gonna be the one impacting the canopy head first like poor goose...

    goosedeath.gif.bf5a3ef3d1576194ea76030a96024316.gif

    WSU prob should have taken a look at how Mountain West schools operate their athletic departments because thats what they are likely gonna end up looking like soon, none of this intentionally running multi million dollar budget deficit nonsense...

  8. I'm a sucker for the Yeti stainless drink-ware for sure, been drinking my morning coffee in one of their 14oz coffee mugs for years at this point. Got one of the big gulp sized tumblers with a straw that I refill at gas stations when on the road and load up with mixed drinks at the pool. Even got a wine tumbler for drinking some vino while camping. All good shit thats gonna last but this $400 cast iron is really getting out there into "Yuppie stuff" even more than all of the above.

    I DONT WANT TO DO WORK TODAY DAMNIT 

    Absolutely understood the assignment to make this blackout start on a Monday, the day I want to be fucking around on Reddit the most and working the least...

    Those two photos really are pretty close to one of those "Meth: Not even once" PSA's...

    I thought Apple was in bed with FOX on MLS deal. What deal are they in with ABC?

    Hey no judgement, Apple can sloot around with whoever they want...

    But in all seriousness they did have Bob Iger come on stage at the Apple keynote for their new mixed reality headset on Monday to tout all the cool shit that Disney/ESPN/ABC is going to have ready for its release in 2024. Not super farfetched to think they might have further deals being worked on for sports content so long as Disney/ABC owns ESPN (which is a whole other can of worms as they allegedly want to spin off/sell ESPN)

    Did I stumble into the Cloak Room by accident?

     

    My thoughts exactly, came here to see the new and improved ways of how the PAC12 fucked itself over and got smacked in the face with this political nonsense...

    Blink 182 Wtf GIF

    Can we please get back to the high stakes conference realignment nonsense thats tearing apart the fabric of college athletics?

    Wrong! (cue the buzzer sound) – connect2collaborate

    While Tech and OSU can certainly make a strong case, they are no match for aggy when it comes mental deficiency shenanigans. At least Tech and OSU have some skins on the wall.

    I mean if we are playing Family Feud I'm dead ass telling Steve Harvey all the answers on the board are Aggy...just there might be a few others at the tail end of the survey...

    I challenge any other school in the country to come up with an in-state little brother that is more entertaining, misguided, foolish and what ever other descriptors you can come up with than our own little Texas A&M. I dare you.

    While most of the Okie State posters around here seem perfectly reasonable, a few of the ones I know in real life get pretty close to Aggy levels of delusion/misguided homerism especially when it comes to OU vs Okie State matters. Same for couple friends/acquaintance I know that went to Tech who think Texas Tech deserves all the PUF money because they built a school in the shit hole that is Lubbock years after the fact that just happens to have oil in their backyard...
