  1. What do you mean, not being held accountable? How exactly do you propose we do anything about that other than write the article above?
  2. You're predicting a Wyoming redux.
  3. Rod and I will also be at the Co-Op today from 3-4pm. If you’re coming in for the game or just want to stop by and say hi, please do.
  4. I’m out at Hays City Store this morning. Feel free to drop by and hang out for an early lunch around 11am. I’ll be here until noon. It’s a nice way to spend a georgeous day IMO
  5. Ugh. But not John Mateer!
  6. He committed to Texas then backed out and went to Alabama. On the upper echelon of talent, but there were questions even in recruiting whether he might maximize that talent.
  7. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Arch’s arm.
  8. It was Texas lined up on 1-yard line with Townsend in the backfield.
  9. That’s fair. I just want college sports “fixed”. We just have to define and agree upon what “fixed” is before taking action.
  10. Hope you’re not calling me a Tech apologist or what I wrote propaganda. I’m definitely not the former and as for the latter, I specifically mentioned I’m not pro-Campbell.
  11. I find this whole discussion fascinating. My take is that I like a lot of what Campbell is after. But with certain conditions applied, including the idea that certain teams/schools or conferences are worth more to any consortium.
  12. Fellas, this will be a great thread for this year. Thanks, Dr. W!
  13. FWIW his sack avoidance number, according to PFF, this season is far superior to Quinn’s number.
  14. He’s trying. But first congress has to vote down the Score Act.
  15. 1. Campbell may be many things, but he’s not a hack. His only goal may even well be getting Texas Tech on an even playing field with Texas. I can’t discern his true goals, etc. But I can decidedly tell you he’s not a hack. The conversation we had was informative. He knew numbers, reasons, etc., and it wasn’t the sound of a hack. 2. I too worry about Texas after Eltife. It’s the chief reason why I asked Governor Abbott about how he elects/chooses the BoR.
  16. Could be. I think there’s a deal to be had that is more inclusive. I don’t think the universities of the SEC and Big 10 want to be seen as the ones who kill college football for the rest of the country. You have to remember, even within the UT system there is UTSA, UTEP, SFA and now UTRGV that all play football.
  17. That’s a reading comprehension issue for you. It would all have to be negotiable or it’s not going to get past Go.
  18. Who said they did deserve the same?
  19. By the way, everyone wants the PUF redistributed to their benefit and to the detriment of Texas. That is not news. That’s been going on since at least the 80s.
  20. He’s not going to get the pooling done without the acquiescence of the SEC and Big 10. He just won’t get the votes. I’m guessing he knows that quite well. That means negotiation of future rev share must be on the table and I doubt the SEC or Big 10 would be willing to be shortchanged in that regard. In other words, all of what you said can be true, but there still may be a deal to be had that makes sense. No one’s motives should be altruistic here, not his, not Texas’, no one’s.
  21. Texas leadership is not asleep at the wheel. They are well aware of the fundamentals. The chair of the board of regents at Texas has a firm grasp on this IMO.
  22. Sorry to tell you this, but Tech is gonna have a seat at the table whether Texas fans want them to or think they should. After all, they’ve had a seat for 50+ years, they just haven’t done much with it. That’s reality. Tech isn’t going anywhere.
