  1. I have an idea so that the BIG 10 can reduce travel for their teams. Maybe there is already an article on it or someone here already posted something similar. So here is a hypothetical email I would send to the BIG 10 but you guys tear up ideas pretty well and shoot holes in them like no other folks. So I thought I post it here first. Have at it.
  2. I meant 9-3 still makes the playoff and that is why I referenced making playoff on a consistent basis. After reading again I see that its says 8-4 makes the playoffs.
  3. The Cowboys have not won shit for the last 25 years and people still can't help and talk about them at every turn as America's team. Constant bigger match-ups means more exposure for all these brands and no one will care about the record because they will be watching. So instead of watching the two big games (LSU & Auburn) Bama has traditionally had per year we may be watching 4 or 5. So they won't go 11-1 and instead will go 8-4 and miss the playoffs or 9-3 and still make the playoffs. Exposure, exposure, exposure and brand recognition. The Cowboys that are still America's Team have proven you don't have to win you just have to make it into the playoffs on a consistent basis.
  4. Their Heisman Trophy QB is second team now, that is how good their QB room is now.
  5. Compare this crap with Vince highlights in the Rose Bowl against Michigan to Thunderstruck. I wish I had not lost that video. Metcalf deserved better.
  6. Did not watch but after reading the last few posts it looks like she had it coming. Also, Jordan did it, Bird did it and Magic did it. Magic and Bird did it to each other big time but they did not cry about it when it was not going their way. I have no problem with either side having done what they did when the emotions are hot.
  7. Some here may want to disregard what you are saying with a gesture. It is not as flagrant but it is enough for somebody to be watching and getting upset that she is being praised for the taunting knowing full well they would not be given the same praise for the same actions. So they saw their opening and they took it.
  8. I am confused I thought winning a championship in 1939 made you a blue blood in all sports not 5 championships in the last 25 years.
  9. So what I took from that report is OL had a few breakdowns. Quinn back foot throw, Arch scramble and Finkley in the backfield. The good thing is in every case the offensive talent overcame it with a good play.
  10. They fixed it because they wanted $15 tickets made available plus lower ratings. Fix against us is Aggy language.
  11. SIAP. This may be late but still funny.
  12. Lets say they could afford to fire Jimbo since I personally think he gets another year even with a 5-7 record. In the case where they have the money, Jimbo still only has to win 6 regular season games because the money guys will not be able to bring themselves to playing Texas for the first time since 2011 with a new coach. It will not be the rebuilding that will stop them it will be that they can imagine themselves being OU 2022.
  13. The guy says all the right things like he means it with heart.
  14. RT is recruiting mama's in his presser with his emphasis on life long relationships. Way to go RT!
  15. Aggy jokes have been around before the internet existed and then on groups before hornfans, hornfans, shaggy bevo and now surly. They have never gone away and we started a long time ago. First joke I ever heard was probably in the 70's and it had to do with a mug.
  16. So not knowing where this goes does anybody think this guy is worth getting? Are we even an option since he took an official visit to Texas?
  17. That guy did not come here and keep doing what he did at VCU and the reason we hired him. Instead based on this board he saw this job as a stepping stone to the NBA and changed his offense and defense styles as a way to interview for the NBA and yes that was a disaster for us.
  18. No it is not just you someone commented on the resemblance at a bar and the person was not a Texas fan.
  19. My hesitance is not with RT being able to sell high school kids since everything I have read about him is that he is a great recruiter. My cautious optimism has do with not knowing what kind of salesman he will be for the program. Will he be the kind of guy that gets the media to fall in love with him so that they sell Texas as the place to be in todays transfer portal world. Then again winning consistently and word of mouth of him being a great coach and a great man is another way to skin the same cat. I hope you are right and it will continue. I talked to someone today that knows a couple of players that played for RT in the past and they love him and say he is a great coach and person.
  20. That is why I said wait and see attitude unlike @TexArcher that was stating that it will continue as a matter of fact. Read the post!
  21. There is no evidence that it will continue and the closest thing to it is he was able to take a bad Fresno State team and make it better. Yet, if a great coaching performance this year somehow is enough evidence for you that he will be a great program builder have at it. Many of us think he has more than earned a chance to be here and we will be taking a wait and see attitude on the program building. We all hope that with Texas' resources he can show he is also a great program builder but being a good coach does not make you by default a great program builder.
