Week Five Preview: It Just Means More
Especially if that loss were, for example, early season and close to a great team. Imagine a rolling ball of butcher knives being left out of the playoff so that Texas State could go as the conference champion #5 or #7? Is the sacredness of a conference championship so great that either 11-1 tOSU or 11-1 Bama should sit at home and watch Liberty play for all the marbles? EDIT oh, and remember that meaningless game no one cared about in Ann Arbor. I mean, it didn't materially affect our path to the playoffs so why even play it? Probably no one even watched it. I bet no one tunes in for the game at Pyle field in November if we already have a CCG appearance clinched because the games don't mean anything in the era of the 12TCFP.

Arkansas Pick (slight fav) 4-1 Mizzou Loss 4-2 MSU Win 5-2 LSU Loss 5-3 USCe Loss 5-4 NMSU Win 6-4 Auburn Win 7-4 Texas Mudhole 7-5 Figure they could choke one away against Arkansas or Auburn, luck into a win against USCe or LSU-- should come out in the wash for an O/U of 7 wins before their appearance in the Purina Dog Food Bowl.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2025: The Land of Melk & No Money
Maybe a more controlled environment. Media release of promo video which includes interviews with guys like Ewers about how they looked up to him or some such. Build up the positive image in hard-to-assail formats until the time is more opportune for a live recognition. EDIT maybe interview with guys like Colt. Ha I'm getting old.

Week Five Preview: It Just Means More
There is not going to be a perfect solution. Smaller tournament = undefeated or otherwise "deserving" teams can be left out. Larger tournament = "undeserving" teams get to compete for the title. 12 is a compromise; any team not among the top 5 conference winners or top 7 at-large is unlikely to have a legitimate claim to be the champion. Conversely, one could think about it as our conference alignment is so good now that the potential champions largely get to face each other in exciting regular season games in pool play before the single-elimination phase. At least now the championships aren't mythical. This beats the heck out of our treatment in 2008.

I don't remember calling you out, but early on I sure didn't want to believe you. Your ideas were not popular, but there were a few who saw the writing on the wall.

2024 Season Thread and all the shit in between games
Wow what a misperception on my part. I thought the alumni band was usually big and well-announced. Did I miss the information when I went for food at the beginning of half-time?

Saturday it looked like the ULM band was in the NE corner nosebleeds circa 119, so I figured that was visitor land now.

2024 Season Thread and all the shit in between games
Just realized: every team we play this year is from a different state than every other until we double up on Texas for the aggy game. Unless I am mistaken (always a risk, sadly), this is our first regular season to play teams from 11 different states.

FIFY. He went to West Texas. Aggy put its name on the school after he left.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
It has been long enough that I don't know whether the institutional memory of aggy behavior when we come to town is sufficient to warn Sark/CDC without a little alumni help. Does our AD/team know not to stay anywhere owned by aggy or close to B/CS before this year's game? Does the Surl need to warn them somehow?

One of the self-claimed other 2 roommates from McCoy Sr and Shipley claims still to be a family friend of the McCoys. My conversations with him seem to indicate that it was always Texas.

Would Heupel have been terrible as an OC had he been allowed to pursue the personnel for Air Raid and actually to run Air Raid rather than being redirected based on Stoops' awe (or response to that of boosters) of JFF?- Tennessee @ Oklahoma
The fact that there are three apparent OU fans makes focusing on the two with darker skin seem wrong. It was always going to be a bad idea, regardless. There is a principle called avoiding the appearance of impropriety which is almost always applicable when racism is at issue.- 2024 Random Games thread
