Bobby Burton Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 1 hour ago, BurntOrangeCrush said: Great news, thanks for passing it on to us Bobby Happy to do it. BTW - this weekend was the last that Texas will play an event at TCU in any sport for a while. Texas women's basketball put it on the Horned Frogs. TCU is not the problem here, but it's an interesting mark in time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Kingsley Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 With a 12 team playoff every year now, I'd rather continue playing one OOC game against a top/blue blood program. Probably gives us an edge heading into conference play and it's always good for Texas to continue to play marquis games. 2 losses is still almost a guaranteed playoff spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookemTexas Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 As with everyone else, I'm in total agreement. The other Big 12 schools keep talking trash about how they're glad Texas is leaving the conference. That's great, no more Texas on the schedule and see how your attendance (which includes ticket sales, hotel bookings, restaurant patrons, etc. do). In addition to football, pretty much every other sport's attendance is spiked when Texas comes to town (as the good guy or bad guy) like the volleyball team. It's always a packed house when the Longhorns come to play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave0805 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Hey Bobby I had an idea watching this mornings C&F How about you and Gerry go back and discuss recruiting classes over the years both from a Texas and national point of view, Could be some fun content as we get into the dog days of the offseason 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the SEC wants to compete directly with the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cochamps Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) The Rig 12 stuck it to us with officiating, scheduling, really any way they could. I am really glad that we are not ignoring that behavior like we did when aTm bailed on us, and blamed everything on us. I would like to see us avoid that conference at every available opportunity for as long as possible.

Hank Kingsley Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Texas made their own bed between 2010 and 2023, but it did us no favors to play in the Big 12, especially after NU/CU/TAMU left. Every conference game outside of OU was a lose/lose scenario. Texas wins? "blah, they SHOULD win" Texas loses? "hahaha, pathetic". Beating Texas was a massive deal for our opponents. The opposing head coach gets an immediate boost, no matter how good or bad their season was. Beating Texas was vital for their recruiting efforts. Every team had a chip on their shoulder against us and we had very little desire to fire back, even when we sucked. Also we had to play in high end HS stadiums in cities/towns that aren't really desirable for most Texas fans to attend. Texas sucking for over a decade was the lifeblood for a lot of our Big 12 opponents' success. They thrived off of us, and us beating these teams didn't provide that much joy or excitement. Screw 'em all. Good riddance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss those Thanksgiving games, were the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random9 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Bobby, any chance that you can more details and reactions on the pending complete separation between Texas and the b12? What did they think would happen?Any b12 remorse? What is 0u's stance/position? Do the remainders have the same hate for 0u? Which teams were the biggest, loudest squeakers, and which were respectful? What say the new schools coming into the b12? Any Yormark/Weiser follow-up? (Apology or double down) This could be an interesting essay on 'burning bridges'. I just discovered this site from "Coffee and Football". GREAT JOB!
