Realignment talk not going away
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.

NFL Fans going goon not going away
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.

Realignment talk not going away
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.

Game Week - Oklahoma State
- Jimbo 2023: Watch.The.Tape.
You’re talking about people who let their kid go to aggy to play for Jimbo. Tell me again about how you expect them to be reasoning this through.- Game Week - Oklahoma State
The sequence in which Ford is tackled by the blocker and called himself for holding and then Strong gets jobbed was truly amazing in a bad way. I understand mistakes and trouble seeing bang-bang plays, but that was outright crookedness. Some of the plays in the video are arguable, but some, especially that double, are pure fraud.- Texas O-line talk
The first thing I thought when I read that algorithm was that it credits our OL with 75% of the yards between when Bijan faces contact in the backfield and when is tackled 6 yards downfield. Probably reasonable in the aggregate across FB but not necessarily representative of contributions on our team this year.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

The "spirit of the law" is now that anything goes. We need to be careful to obey the "letter of the law" and not anything whatsoever more restrictive. We are archaic suckers if we sit back and wait to see what other schools do in boundary-pushing.- Game Week - Oklahoma State
Fair question, and I won't be shocked if we choke. That said, We have been protecting Ewers fairly well since his return, and we have won every game he was able to finish. We bumbled our way to a tie game in regulation against Tech, and I don't think that eeking out a close win over OSU is beyond the realm of possibility or even likelihood. My point in the post quoted was not that I expect us to win, however. It was that there is room to debate whether we have enough information to classify Sark as a definitive failure as a HC at Texas.- Matt Campbell is a little bitch-made pussy
If he decided to go full FUPM, I suppose he could start "working from home" in another state. I know a PI lawyer who, as far as I know, has good enough help that he hasn't been in-state for about 2 years. He could argue that being present didn't really end up making a difference against App State and that many of his most important mistakes have always been on the road anyway.- Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
Well, we played them 4 times ever before joining the B12, hence the verbiage "wrt Texas." We were both big programs, but not ones that frequently played each other. Sorry if my meaning was unclear.- Deion Sanders "Coach Prime" Now At Colorado
Nebraska first really became a prominent program wrt Texas while Neon Deion was playing for the Cowboys back in the mid 90s. I can't imagine many people then would have projected him as the future Huskers coach. Here's hoping he and the bugeaters are happy together and that we never have to listen to their crying again.- Texas Football 2022 - PFF Grades
More at-bats in the second half of the season.- Final 5 games - What does your bitchass say?
Yeah, I'm torn between PTSD and loyalty. Kansas may not be that good, but they feel like a trap in that late-season away slot. Ewers is 3-1 as a starter, 3-0 in games where he isn't knocked out of action, and he's been well-protected lately. As much as I want to say 5-0 (and realizing our floor is certainly 0 wins, regardless of what we wish), I'm going to say 4-1.- Tua injury updates?
Yeah, he looked on TV like he was posturing. That guy needs to retire, protect his head, and line up his care plan for CTE.- Texas opens as a 1 point favorite @ Oklahoma State

Great. So ISU fans are welcome to complain that b12 refs are inconsistent. Texas fans will ride that one with you. Don’t pretend there isn’t a huge contingent arguing the wrong way on this call and badmouthing Texas, though. No one respects a sore loser.- $9.95 worth every penny
This is just money talking. Fox has a contract with the b12 and won’t give up its contractually guaranteed property (broadcast rights for certain UT and OU games) without enough compensation to make it whole. We (foolishly) granted rights through ‘25 to b12. Fox would be stupid to give away rights to our games or to sell/trade them for less than they can get. Maybe Disney and Fox work something out whereby everybody is happy and we leave early. We can hope, but don’t hold your breath, and don’t blame Fox for bargaining with b12 or b12 for accepting our GOR. We granted our own rights to prop up a doomed league.- Game Week - Oklahoma State
Sarkisian's road record is trash, here and previously. Our program has been relative trash for a long time. This is apparently the first version of sober HC Steve. This is the first version of post-Saban-tutelage HC Steve. There is more than one logical but non-definitive way to assess our evidence of his promise as a HC. I reject the "exclude title-winning HC" metric. We are not shooting for decent; we are shooting for awesome. The big question is whether sobering up, learning under Saban, and getting his rebuilding year-1 behind him makes Steve a bit of an unknown. If one's inclination is to answer that question "yes," then we are headed for undiscovered country. If "no," then he has shown us what he is, a loser on the road, 7-win Steve. Out of the infuriating collapse that was the Tech second half, however, I witnessed a team that had fight and promise in a road game, IMO. The last-minute drive was the performance of winners. A lot of fail went into setting it up, and the fumble brought it to an end, but it was not the attack of an unprepared or demoralized team. If we end this year at 5-7 after another losing streak, it will be hard to blame it on external factors. OTOH, if we play for or especially win a conference title this year, I will lean strongly toward the opinion that 7-win Steve has sobered and matured into a legitimate winner.- Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
I was there in '08 when Gideon dropped that pick. For just a moment, that stadium was crushed. I would have never guessed that he'd be the only guy (or close to it if I'm being fact-checked) in the stadium that day still associated with the Texas D in 2022. Death by a thousand cuts is slow and painful, but it lacks the inevitability of beheading. There is always a chance that something happens before your executioner gets to 1000. I think the lack of talent and proficiency at edge and DB force us to choose. As stated above, zone and blown can be but are not necessarily also soft coverages. This. Jimmies and Joes. Today's offenses, even pedestrian ones, are frequently going to threaten weak points. Not many teams have no weak points on D-- it would be nice to join the not many. Those passing % and conversion numbers are flat-out putrid. We need recruiting/portaling and development. While we still have an unacceptable deficit in personnel, I would rather hold my nose, shout at my TV, and stink at those than at points allowed (which is second-rate, granted, but not bad enough to ruin a season by itself). I honestly don't know whether it is just a "grass is greener" situation or whether we are foolish for keeping PK for now. - Jimbo 2023: Watch.The.Tape.
