Weeding out the religiously bigoted comments here will be a long process.

Correct. I was referring to cougar high and Baylor but wanted to be sure to mention the rapists by name.

Just think: there exists a non-zero probability that, as early as the season after next, we will be in a conference that 1. pays us $40M or more extra per year in TV money than we would have here 2. forced aggy to vote to take us after clem swore we'd never be allowed 3. does not have a pool of officials conditioned to penalize us 14-0 against our conference mates 4. does not include Baylor or any Houston-metro schools infamous for their crappy stadium/bleachers (B/CS isn't metro, is it?) 5. will retain the OU game and not make us use an OOC date for it 6. already has its bogeymen well established 7. will never feature ISU in the CCG 8. will never require us to play in Manhattan, KS or the state of West Virginia 9. like the rest of NCAA, now lets us actually spend in the open rather than surrender to money bags, and 10. Was not cooked up by DD in a toxic stew of Texas politician interference in an otherwise already doomed marriage of convenience to the dying schools of yesterday's midwest.

Correction: boss

The candy lei jokes will not die out soon

As he makes millions for being on the sideline, he is shocked to see players getting their thousands for making and taking the hits. His innocence is now lost forever.

If the rumor that Iger is under pressure to sell off ABC and ESPN is true, I wonder how that may affect negotiations for Texas/OU to SEC for '24.

It used to be so cool to be named for cheaters and thieves, to have success built on the ethics of the likes of Switzer, and summarized so well by their own university ----ing president (G. Cross) as trying to have a university the football team could be proud of. But now the principal activity that gave them their entree into the world of winning at college football, paying players openly, is available to all the teams that worked for years to be as clean as they could. Dang how the game has been corrupted! Cry me a river!

You've got a guy who has been accustomed to calling the shots for years, looks to be just shy of 5 and a half feet tall, is well into middle age, doesn't exactly have a successful marriage to boost his self-esteem, and is locked into a guaranteed contract running into 9 figures. The word on the street was that he "had" to hire an OC, that he had been "forced" into it. For some little men, trying to prove (to themselves or whomever) that they are "the man" is more important than it might be to you or to me, even all-important. The longer this OC shenanigan runs, the more it looks like JF showing whomever that no one forces his hand-- no one. Whatever ending the OC "search" finally has will be something JF can spin as something he desired from soup to nuts (or his departure).

Not to argue, but maybe they plan to money-whip a CFP team waterboy or something to go along with the enticement of the promotion to OC for a SITTING CHAMPIONSHIP COACH.

Complaining about tampering is like reserving your outrage that your girlfriend cheats on you for the guy who asked her out.

A large percentage of labral repair patients are never able to compete again. The time frame for hitting the field is surgeon and patient dependent but works out to 3 months — never.

Aggy 2024 Mercs for jerks

It’s the football equivalent to the old joke: Q why are divorces so expensive? A Because they’re worth it. (disclaimer I am happily married and am not advocating divorce)

It must be painful for aggy to realize that they aren’t even eligible to forfeit their bowl in a year that UAB has won one.

Troll. Aggy calls us tu.

I have not read up to the end of the thread, so I ask pardon if this is already posted. There needs to be a serious push for Tech to pay his widow Sharon what it owes him. RIP Coach.

Click Click click click click Win 3/4 in a row to start Jimbo Era 2.0 with a bang. Whee coast down a losing streak into the bye week, stewing about how bad Jimbo is until watching other teams better then them have trouble while they're not playing. Irrational belief in a second-half surge. Click Click Win 3 more out of four after the bye, becoming bowl eligible and start to believe! Whee Get nuked at LSU and forfeit or humiliate themselves in the bowl. Time to go around the track again.

TCU or Bama, doesn’t make a difference. UGA will beat whomever. TCU would be better off getting left out and having something semi-legitimate to bitch about. Sort of analogous to its being better to remain silent and thought a fool than opening one’s mouth and removing all doubt. Getting the playoff bid will result in the removal of all doubt.

Mar’s day job is apparently as an orthopedic surgical equipment sales rep in Nebraska.

Texum Bulldogs: Almost had a road win this year, and really did have one in 2021. WHOOP!

They have a number of guys who are generally regarded.

What's crazy is that even if we have to fork out $80M to exit the B12 when we do so, our time to recoup that based on the increased media revenue is likely less than 2 years.

Are the football hooligans for which England is infamous largely Mexican? If not, the degree to which your post implies the Mexican origin of the hooligans pertains to their behavior might be construed by some as racist, your heritage notwithstanding. I think I get what you are saying, but what seems to be causing the trouble is the apparent cloudiness between Mexican heritage and hooligan behavior. The two are completely independent. The reason lots of lawyers, plumbers, heroes, sports idiots, or any other group in SoCal are of Mexican heritage is merely a statistically inevitable result of the fact that many of the people in SoCal are of Mexican heritage.

If the media companies involved are creative and insightful enough to discern what arrangement likely makes them the most reliable money over the reasonably foreseeable future, they are likely to collude to get their greatest possible share of the biggest possible pie. It seems the overall marketable TV value of CFB would be greater with OU and Texas in the SEC. If so, Adam Smith's invisible hand will push Fox, ESPN, and whomever toward working something out which lets us play '24 in the SEC. Big Sports Media Inc has all manner of levers it can pull to influence conferences like B12, but they ultimately converge on the Benjamins. If the best calculations do not clearly show that the overall value of the sport as broadcast entertainment is maximized by our move, our odds are dramatically lower-- we would be pushing a rope instead of helping pull the winning side in a tug-of-war.
