Or have the stadium play clips of "they'd rather lose to Alabama and Georgia than KSU and ISU" and "Take care of business in Austin" on a loop to a highlight reel of us beating Bama, ISU, KSU, and some Sugar Bowl vs UGA.

Rape and murder U the others

The relegation model would not necessarily have to have a major impact on either the $ going to each school or to the teams available for the media contract if the relegation is internal to the PacWC or the B12. You arrange the schedule so that both the upper and lower divisions play complete round robins at their respective levels. Unless/until those leagues get more members, you probably have some cross-division games. You might protect a rivalry or two. If two conferences introduced the model, they could arrange inter-conference play between select upper and lower division teams from each. You make the lower level teams ineligible for the CCG (if you have one) and CFP autobid. All the teams are still technically part of the same conference snd same TV deal with the networks.

Fourth quarter teams tend to win tough games. We have looked like a serious fourth quarter team this year. One will never be able to assess the present without accounting for the past, but things change and the present is never the past. Are we going to the CFP? I don't know. Will we win the b12 this year? I don't know. Am I concerned about our ability to win b12 road games this year? No. As stated elsewhere, statistics almost demand that even very good teams lose occasionally, and losses are more likely on the road than at home, so a road loss is a strong possibility. But 2 would surprise me. Many people who never expected us to beat Bama will be hard to convince that beating them soundly is a reason to change their paradigm for evaluating Texas under Sark.

I’m not sure whether this is meant to imply any culpability on Sanders’ part. We have a non-CU player taking a terrible cheap shot on a CU player, and you have other people who don’t play for CU reacting inappropriately to the cheap shot. This. The death threats are wrong, they’re a big deal, and that guy should have thought about it more instead of trying wrongfully to injure a human.

It has been 700 days since aggy won a true road game

It is still extremely early in his career, but through 2 games he is averaging just over 6 YPC rushing. This would, if continued, break the previous record for NFL RBs held by some dude name J Charles 🤘

Saban win Steve living up to his nickname

I would never. My guess is that you would never. I hesitate, after all the things they've done publicly and proudly, confidently to rule out anything foolish or unethical aggy might do. Even Tech was dumb enough.

I'm not sure which US stadiums have it yet, but hybrid turf seems like the best solution to me. It is grass reinforced by synthetic fibers through the root level to minimize tearing up of the field with use. It requires water, of course, but that can be done with reclaimed water and minimal evap if the field is designed properly. Also, to the extent it uses water, a large percentage of that water goes to fixing carbon out of the atmosphere. Please no CR replies arguing about climate change. I'm not taking a position on that with this post.

If you live long enough, your knees will eventually wear out and you will need them replaced. Major factors that affect just how long that is include your genes, your BMI, and whether you spend your days inflicting high impacts on your knees.

A night like tonight does not happen by accident. It doesn't even happen easily for a good coach. Sark walked into Texas during our seemingly interminable age of mediocrity, hired good assistants, recruited good players, developed the team, self-scouted, went into Alabama, and won convincingly. The same man has coached both our biggest MOV ever over OU and all of CFB's biggest MOV ever at Saban. If and when he has a bad game in the future, people need to remember the magnitude of what he has done in less than 3 years here. The future is bright and burnt orange. Thanks to Coach Sark, thanks to Quinn and all the guys, and HOOKEM!

1. Love him, hate him, whatever. Call him Prime or whatever. Sanders was the reason for that result. When the line was set at 4 TDs, everyone knew who Briles was, who Dykes was, who left TCU, how last season ended against UGA. They knew about TCU’s close wins. And no one outside the CU locker room gave the Buffs a chance. TCU may have lucked into the NCG last year. They may be bad this year. To deny, however, that yesterday’s result was not a dramatic vindication of what Sanders is building is daft. 2. Of course better coaches have a better chance of winning by more and of winning close games. The problem is that even great coaches can’t prevent the enormity of chance from hitting them with the one event that drags them down to a loss when playing in one-score games. Even Nick Saban can’t keep the best player in CFB from uncharacteristically coughing up the ball in OT. Better coaches may only regress toward .550 instead of to .500 in close games, but they are governed by the law of averages as well.

I think one question (to which we obviously can't have an answer until at least 2024) is to what degree the audience that has interest in Texas and OU has a secondary viewing interest in teams that are in a league with them. Does, e.g., a tOSU fan have more interest in watching Northwestern than he would Georgia Tech? The numbers for the B12 contract are based on, among other factors, viewership to date of the remnants. They do not account for the potential decline in secondary interest after the departures. This is one reason why some say that the next contract will be the one that establishes how the 12 can do longer term without Texas and OU.

A difference between our team today and our team this time years past is that our “talent” is showing up to a much greater degree. We haven’t played a real down yet, but our roster to me appears to have far fewer of “unlikely to see the field” and “unfortunately will have to play this season.” We have OL that look promising and are developing. We have speed on both sides of the ball. We are cycling recruiting misses out the portal in exchange for apparent difference makers. To question whether this team is more talented than the Herman/strong ones is borderline complete inattention.

What would more amazing than a one-to-two win improvement would be putting the Sark Talk in the Sark Talk thread. Please!

I can help explain why Texas is such a ‘First Class’ and well-funded university. This is from Article 7 of an obscure document known as the Constitution of the State of Texas. Funny thing, though. None of that money goes to football.

Of the 4 schools that left before Texas and OU, 2 have had the chance to vote to approve having Texas as a conference mate, and both did. One other went to a conference that fell apart, among other reasons because they ran off their own blue blood. The last one has a stable meal ticket at the B1G table worth far more than it could make in the 12. It is the same reason the new teams came. Their old digs were lousier. P2 > Next 2 > the rest. This is a story about more desirable conferences, not about teams fleeing big mean old Texas (except perhaps in part NU, whose lunch money we took on the field again and again). But carry on.

I certainly hope that those saying there is no reason to get excited about Yormark's comments are correct. That would seem extremely Pollyanna-ish to me, however. I challenge anyone with a brain to evaluate the penalty statistics of the crew that called the Baylor and OSU games last year and tell me with a straight face that bias against Texas played no significant role in those games. I repeat the question asked above: when has any commissioner of any serious sports league (let alone two senior officials) ever actively cheered publicly against member in good standing? This is how powerful men get their henchman to do bad things while maintaining plausible deniability. He doesn't need a conspiracy: he has already made his Henry II plea. It is a breach of his fiduciary duty, if not in law, at least in decency; there are literally millions of dollars on the line in multiple ways associated with success on the football field. Hospitals that do things like this regarding disfavored physicians in good standing on their staff lose or settle big suits. I'm no lawyer nor am I advocating suing the B12. I am saying that there is statistical evidence that Texas needs to watch its corn hole, and there is public oral testimony by the commish against himself.
