Posted by Sandbagging Steve,

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.

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

Maybe unpopular, but the majority of the Longhorns on SECRant talking shit are almost as cringeworthy as reading texags. They are not good at it and just comes across as lame.

But I also never really understood signing up for a non Texas or even conference type message board. If you are gonna do it, at least do it as a troll.

Ha. We made it to the super regionals this year.

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.)

Yeah, you’re just now warming up to this move and the better schedule it’ll bring. Yet, like many here, you were likely berating the SEC for being overrated as recently as 4 days ago. You’re a sharp one.

The 180 change in narrative around here is peculiarly self-serving (and expected).

Still, it’s nice of you to throw a bone to all those teams you’ve been struggling with in recent years.

what a whiny, jackhole.

One of the lamer ones I saw was the guy talking about how we only have a losing record to Vanderbilt and South Carolina. Well yeah, but broadcasting in that way to show our winning records just looks awfully aggy. I don’t know the players and trolls over there.

jesus christ... I went out at 1p yesterday, drank for like 8 straight hours...  called it a night, woke up around 10   and the thread had increased something like 20 pages in that timeframe.  and it took on another 10 or so while I tried to catch up....

 

the GOLL aggy misery OD is off the fucking charts.   I love that almost all the other schools really came to realize that most of what we told them re: Aggy really are true.

 

The only thing better would be that they overreacted so badly to this news that the rest of the SEC tell them their attitude sucks and if its not adjusted shortly, they are going to lose their only identity at all "being part of the SEC"

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 ...

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.

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.

They came back in 2008, Colt and company fucked them like 52-10 or something, and then they bitched out of the scheduled rematch.  That was a nice way to leave things, which of course was completely ruined in that awful bowl during our Charlie and Steve Patterson brain trust years.

We were so fucking good in the aughts.

Actual Texags thread titles:

 

"Why did the SEC allow tu to call the shots?" 

"So what happens to the LHN dumpster fire" 

"Sips Don't Fit"

"The perpetual tu coaches' hot seat" 

"It's time we throw our weight around"

"Fire Bjork"

"Actual footage of sips navigating an SEC schedule."

"The guys aren't scared."

"Ass My Dude"

"Why tu may find things difficult in the SEC"

"ESPN already pushing the sips"

"SEC Rant poll - Go Vote"

"Start pulling the funding"

 

Bless their hearts...

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.

They should probably keep that keen intellectual banter back on Hornfans.
