Cold blooded, that was.

I hate hypotheticals like this.  But no I wouldn’t take the money.  When I was a kid I asked my dad if they have Texas Football in heaven.  He said probably not and I’ve not wanted to go ever since.

I'd need more money.  $3 million means I can retire now at 43, but it's not some massive lifestyle change.

$20 million would do it.  $5M house, $3M yacht, a couple $1M vacation homes, and $10M to invest?  Never work again and travel all the time for 40 years?  Yeah, I'll miss it, but I'll miss it from the French Riviera and Hawaii.  Sign me up.

Yeah this is where I'm at. I'm 27. I'd need fuck you I'm never working again and balling out for 60 years money. $3 million isn't that at my age.

I still might take it if some of the loopholes mention are allowable - radio, highlights, watching on LHN after the outcome is known, etc.

[immamac 42519]

No loopholes, you erase UT football from your life for 3MM yes or no. 

[housious 468]

College football is halfway to being unwatchable as it is. Wouldn’t miss it in the slightest. 

I’ll take the 3 million and buy all of Austin’s homeless people bus tickets to the west coast.

[Underdog 28457]

I'd do it.

It would be selfish of me not to, IMO. It would change my parents life, erase all debt that I currently have, and I’m not doing some “sell my soul to the devil” shit. I could find something else to do on Saturday. Now if you said you can’t watch ANY sporting event, EVER again...I might need a little more money. Sorry, mom.

Let's get this man 3 million. 

[perfectchaos007 6596]

I'll still be able to follow the Horns on the score ticker, so at least that's some consolation. I'de take the $3 mil

[927 E. 41st 1124]

50 years of going to games with the upcoming season. I don't think I could do it. Who wouldn't love an extra $3 mil, but money isn't everything and in this case money is not enough.

[Deej 76568]

Mack Brown was paid more than that to never watch OU film.

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

This hypothetical presupposes that your answer to the question, "What would you do if you didn't have to worry about money?" is something other than what you are currently doing.

For me, it isn't, at least not in any non-trivial ways. More money would undoubtedly mean more and longer vacations, but on a day to day basis, I don't really feel any urgency about acquiring more.

So, fuck the money, I'm watching the Horns.

[Jersey Man10 3508]

I'll take the money and become an aggy fan so I can laugh at the disappointment.

Question got posed on /r/cfb (as dogshit as that subreddit is). 

Would you take it? If not, what would your number be? 

 

I take your question.

[Wally Fairway 5524]

Sure, I'm still allowed to watch their opponents play.

Right?

[msucolt45 3997]

I’d be one Craig Way listening fan! Hell, I already try to synchronize up his call to the sometimes drivel PBP personnel on the TV broadcast -muted.

Longhorn network and SA newspaper to keep up with the daily activities.

[woohorn 1131]

I'm gonna find out when I sell my seats and parking to the LSU game...

I don't think I could and I'm verging on a poor. Maybe that speaks to unhealthy obsession. 

ztejas, you blasphemous son of a bitch, may your asshole be consumed with 1000 ringworms.

[Brandywine 1313]

Nope, absolutely not! I’m addicted. I’d have to go into rehab. I bleed orange and white. As far as I’m concerned if you say yes, you’re not a real fan. You’re weak! What kind of question is this?

Yeah, I’d still find something else to do.

How bout you buy some pussy, or at least find a chick that will put it on you until you don’t marry her?

This is a great answer. Making me rethink my answer.

No just $3M straight. Wire to your checking account. 

Is this offer still available?

Where can I sign up?

 I would be out of this country by Friday!

[Bevo14 8274]

No

[Xcalibur 546]

Nah, I wouldn’t do it.  I have a pretty good life right now as it is, and longhorn football in the fall makes that season so much sweeter every year. If I had to give up longhorn football, that’s a fourth of every year greatly diminished for the rest of my life.  And what’s the point of money when all the rest is gone?

[Magus Ossis 2784]

$3 million is a big chunk of money. I have family members that love other schools, and myself have more than one sheepskin on my wall. I'm not sure what my cutoff is, but I think 3 mil is above it. I have a great life on the other 361 days of the year, and could probably still enjoy CFB days cheering for teams not named Baylor, OU, PSU, tOSU, or Tamu.

During dove season, I absolutely do not miss watching games if I can hear Craig on the radio at camp around the fire pit drinking shiner.

Pay me my money.

Yep.  Listening to games on the radio at the ranch or in the car is a magical thing.  

My question (which may have already happened), what about reruns and highlight clips?  I'll admit there have been times I've been travelling and missed live games completely.  Either on the LHN or others I catch the important moments and get ready for next week's game.  No harm, no foul.

That shit would be like a Thanos finger snap - half my fucking neighborhood would blip out of existence.  

[CurlyDumps 4440]

Fuck your loopholes. This hypothetical exercise is srs business.

No, you don’t get to listen to them on the radio, or follow scores, or read blogs and message boards.  Permanent ban on media of all kind - past, present, and future. And guess what, if you take the money Craig Way will be fired and replaced by Dave South. So suck on that and thanks for ruining it for all of us.

[RollLeft 5040]

Would you suck a c*ck if it meant ou would get the death penalty and their program would cease to exist?

Can i still get the 3 million?

[Thermos H. Christ 478]

For $3 mil, yeah, I'd find something else to do for 12 days of the year. I'd miss it like hell, don't get me wrong, but maybe I'd just spend most of football season drinking on beaches in Fiji and skiing in Switzerland and shit. 

[Sbbruin 21737]

Yes.  

[Beau Vine 54003]

You're lying if you said no, because Charlie Strong almost made you do it for free.

[Elvis Presto 21]

I would take the 3mil on sept 8th right after i watch this LSU/Texas game.

Just follow the Gameday thread. You can read how people want Herman fired the first time La Tech gains a first down.

Well what happens when we are watching other game and they cut in with in game highlights. Or halftime scores and highlights? And the constant scoreboard scroll during games these days.

Well... I almost quit watching his Horns. But there's a difference between not watching 3 shitty years under an awful HC and not watching another game ever.

Duh.  Send it over.

That is actually a factor in this for me. We’ve been irrelevant for 10 years. I THINK we’re back, but given our recent history it wouldn’t shock anyone if we got throttled by LSU, causing a downward spiral that results in yet another 7-5 type of season. I’d hate to miss out on a great run, but I’d feel really stupid if I passed up on 3 mil and we had another stretch like we had these last 10 years. This team has me jaded. I’ll take my chances.

Shutting it down after beating OU I understand.  Shutting it down after beating another overhyped sec team?

[SilasCoade 2620]

There are very few things I would not do or give up for $3M. Cutting out UT football forever would be an instant yes for me, dawg.
