How many teams will be left when the dust settles in a few years? I think there's a way for all the teams to still have some involvement. I will explain that at the end of this list. Here's my list of the top 32 programs and a list if it goes to 48. There's some debate if it goes to 48, but not much debate if it stops at 32. I guess one could debate Arizona State, but that's about it. The top 32 at least come close to carrying their own weight. Everyone below that line is losing money for t

This is great content for free.

Gosh, I just can’t reconcile this response from a group of people who until last week said they wanted nothing more than to play Texas every year, if only we weren’t scared to compete with them.  I mean, it’s almost like they were lying … but we know aggy never lies, cheats or steals.

It is quite a conundrum.

Yeah, it's almost as if they're completely full of shit.  But an aggy never lies, cheats, or steals, or tolerates those who do.  So, I just don't know what to make of it.

Aggy should abstain so the vote is 13-0 and then we can then brand it on their dog.

I say this with all due respect but...the fuck is wrong with you

Pullman is a tiny piece of shit town in the middle of nowhere that is brutal to get to.  It doesn't even have the honor of being quaint or pretty, its in the middle of an agricultural area and is Lubbock without the social life

You are quite literally describing the same kind of place I've lived for 75% of my life.

I seek out my dysfunctions.

Yeah and that was great. But getting sunburned, dehydrated and losing to those hillbilly fucks on my birthday fucking sucked. I wish I had gone to that one instead. But that’s the problem. The next time I went to a game against them, we lost. It’s my fault. Fuck my life.

I was debating going over there and really mixing it up but the problem is if you're actually funny and hurt their feelings, you'll be booted in no time.  Fuck them.

I'm not in the habit of making long posts, or stealing peoples work, so instead I'll summarize. A poster on Reddit, found here has mathed out that the B12 flat out cant afford to pay Texas/OU more to keep us here.

To summarize, it's an increase of 11m a year in revenue share flat from the B12 to the SEC, and then on top of that, if the B12 tried to match, at minimum it would leave Tech, OkSt and and ISU operating in the red. Kind of eye opening stuff. It's one thing to say we were carrying the conference, but its another to see the numbers. I encourage you guys to check that thread the next time you sit down for a long shit.

For the younglings who were not around or too young to remember 1990 ... Arkansas' last appearance at DKR. The Show band of the Southwest expressed their view on Arkansas jumping ship to the SEC pretty damned well ...

 

See, even most Razorbacks don't get mad at that.  Colleges are supposed to be fun and poke a little at each other.  Sad to say, but in today's world a lot of that is lost.  Too many hurt feelings and too much money to guard.

Quick and dirty puttanesca -- the sauce that tastes like a Sicilian whore. In a good way, lol:

1. Take a can or jar of sardines in plain olive oil and saute until the fish disappears.

2. Add a jar of this and simmer:

3. Add shrimp or drained albacore tuna and simmer.

4. Serve with shaved parmesan. 

 

Made this for dinner tonight. Used yellowfin tuna packed in olive oil instead of drained albacore, and started it off with 4 cloves of garlic sautéed in olive oil. 
Delicious!

This is one of the things I have always enjoyed about Rice coming to DKR and the MOB doing the halftime show.  Even when they poke fun at us, it's hilarious and I usually enjoy the laughs.

Not everything has to be so damned serious 100% of the time.

aggy always bitched at whatever the mob did, and I believe banned them from performing. They have zero sense of humor.

I hate the freaking MOB.  I attended the UT/RICE game in Houston when we lost to them for the first time in like a bazillion years.   I had the flu, it was pouring rain and my seats were right next to the MOB.  Might be the worst experience I have ever had at a UT football game and sadly I have been to way too many games like that for the Longhorns but that was the worst.

I flew back to Austin from a business trip that night.  Got home, flipped on the game 3/4 of the way through . . . that was the biggest WTF moment of my life.

Oh yes, I remember that game well.  Without a doubt, one of the low points of the Mackovic era.

That wasn’t their last appearance. I know this because we lost to them on my birthday in 2003. The tickets were a gift and it was hot and miserable. And we fucking lost. It sucked so fucking much.

Fuck me sideways and twice on Sunday.

I meant as a member of the SWC.

The whole "So what happens to the LHN dumpster fire"  

I don't understand. We got paid, we get paid every year.. right? LHN looses money for ESPN.. man that's sucks for them but we get paid .. right? So ESPN makes a bad business decision and somehow that's on us? 

So .. from Austin Monthly.. "Whether or not Longhorn Network makes money is also not a University of Texas problem. “I think it’s hard to criticize it from a pure business perspective,” says Matt Brown, who writes the college football newsletter “Extra Points”

Why stop at two 20 team or four 16 team conferences?  Why not be preemptive and avoid possible (anti-trust) and other government interference litigation??  Why not generate a ton of money to pay players in this new NIL universe???  Why not get rid of the NCAA and solve realignment in one fell swoop????    I don't know but may be this would be a start.

At the end of 2020 there were 128 FBS schools in ten conferences and Independents.  Once the Big XII in cannibalized as you outlined, dissolve the Sun Belt conference too and incorporate their members and the five Independents into four other 16 member conferences.  Like this:

Independents - Army, UMass, Liberty, and New Mexico St join the AAC; along with Kansas St to form a sixteen member AAC

Texas State, Louisiana, UL Monroe leave the Sun Belt for Conference USA to make sixteen

Troy, South Alabama, and Arkansas St leave the Sun Belt and join the Mountain West along with Independent BYU adding up to sixteen

Coastal Carolina, Appalachian St, Georgia St, and Georgia Southern leave the Sun Belt to join the Mid-American for sixteen

Then the 8 Super Conferences quit the NCAA and form a new 128 member organization (like the old CFA).  Each conference can then auction off television rights to the highest bidders.  ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC, ABC, TBS, etc., will all drive up television revenue bidding on conference television packages.   Playoffs are the 12 best teams selected by committee.   Tie the Bowls in with conference CCGs and the playoffs and the quality games will generate mega television and Bowl payouts.  The conferences can also leverage other sports to drive up television revenue.

Almost everyone would not have a legitimate complaint about this set up because of the money it would generate and the fact that everyone is included.  Then College Football will look like this:

I would guess its the risidual aggy narrative that the LHN was the reason they left the big 12 cause mean ol Texas wouldnt let them be a part of the network...

nevermind that we literally offered the fucking Aggys to be part of the Texas Network... and they told us to go pound sand... 18 months later its somehow the fucking straw that broke their back and forced them to leave.

So is it your contention that UT softball is historically an NCAA power, like say volleyball or women's swimming & diving or track & field?  (Purposefully ignoring women's basketball.)
Nope... Just odd to say they underperform every year a month and a half after they made super regionals.

I pray we sat and listened then come Monday morning at the earliest possible time submit our letter notifying the conference we are out. There is nothing they can say, in my opinion, that would change my mind regarding leaving. I'm done watching KSU, BU, TT and the rest of these teams.

I was a freshman, I had gone home to Dallas that weekend for some reason don't remember since I had been home the week earlier for OU.  Cowboys were playing the Eagles early that Sunday (remember that Rice game was on a Sunday) and Texas-Rice was later.  We were coming off the Stonie Clark game where JB had his coming out so I thought "well I will stick around and watch this Cowboys game as that's a tough premier match up and then I will drive back to Austin and listen to the Texas game because yea it's fucking Rice."  What a miserable fucking trip.  Got back to Jester (after the walk from the C lot that used to be where the soccer stadium is now) in time to see us finish off that shit show.  

Cowboys whipped the Eagles ass. But that was back before Jerry had completed his demolition job.

Fire Bjork. He was either surprised and did not know what was happening or worse he was willing to sleep with the enemy rather than expose them. Remove all the SEC branding from our uniforms, Kyle Field, etc. Nothing special about the SEC anymore. It's a money grab, we might as well let Michigan, Ohio State, Florida State and Clemson join, too.

we will likely never learn what caused sharp to go cornholio, but it is absolutely crystal that bjork was dispatched to hoover to throw sharp's temper tantrum on sharp's behalf
