Guy ran like a gazelle.

I think something like this will happen, although I'd bet there will more than thirty. This will alter the dynamic, but the apex position Texas enjoys will remain. Someone might ask, "What about California?" California is declining and fragmented. As a result of this, there is not the same level of state pride in college athletics in California as there is in Texas.

I've been listening to quite a few SEC talking heads opine on the "Texas won't run the SEC" mantra. I have yet to see or hear anyone grasp the totality of the dynamic at work. They keep wanting to talk about idiotic things like voting. Now, the proper analogy for Texas running the Big 12 isn't voting (you don't vote your way achievement) but rather influencing through power politics and economics. For example, the US runs NATO. Member countries have a vote, but they don't have the money and the power. The US has the money and power. That's the deal. As American citizens we think we should run NATO because we foot the bill and back it up with military strength. Likewise, Texas is more economically vibrant and has more overall political power than other SEC states because Texas has more overall wealth and has more depth of talent because of its population. Georgia and Florida can compete with Texas in these areas when viewed from a per capita perspective, but they lack the size to measure up in totality. I don't think these guys can wrap their minds around this. It's not a matter of completely dominating the football field. Obviously Texas hasn't done that. Texas provides the engine that literally powers the conference (Big 12 or SEC). Look at the roster for the Sooners and you will immediately see what this means. Texas won't exercise the same level of control over the SEC that they did over the Big 12, but you can't wish or vote away inherently natural strengths.

My next post is this. Tom Horn to rustlers.

I'm not too high on Michael Terry or Jonah Williams. Guys without a true position, aren't very likely to be very good. I'd rather have Ffrench, Fasusi and Brooks.

Reading stuff from NFL reporters on the Cowboys contract talks seems to me liking reading five year olds talking about nuclear physics. When has it ever worked out for the Cowboys when they gave a big extension to a current player who hasn't produced in the clutch? I'll tell you when: never. They shouldn't pay top dollar to Prescott, Lamb or Parsons until those guys deliver clutch time in the playoffs. These NFL media guys are idiots. Cowboys haven't advanced past the divisional round, yet they say they should literally pay these guys more than every player at their position. Why? I say let them all walk and backfill with talented guys at 5% the price.

I know this may not be the favorite topic for Longhorn fans, but I've been watching for the last couple of weeks, and I'm going with Olin Buchanan. Nunez is just pretty boy stupid. Every day he can't wait to say Texas isn't ready. If you're that focused on someone other than your own team, you don't have much confidence in your own team. Furthermore, he offers nothing to back it up. Listening to Liucci is like listening to a lefty stoner talk about politics. Buchanan actually says reasonable things. That said, A&M is not nearly as stupid as the Sooners, which is why I'm confident A&M will be better long term. Those criminals keep saying they beat Texas last year so they must be better this year. When you ask them if Kansas, OK State and Arizona are better since those teams beat them last year, it's crickets.

I think Lacy is the odd man out. After Arch we either go to Owens or Bell. If Arch stays to play three years, it's probably straight to Bell. If Arch stays two years, I say Owens for a year.

Furthermore, Paul Howe chose Texas, not Oklahoma.

Tom Horn.

I didn't say it was purely fake. They now say it was fake. My point is they can't have it both ways. They want to disavow Riley but claim the awards they won while he was there are a great part of their "tradition." Their tradition is cheating and getting away with it.

OU idiots think the Selman name makes it okay that they cheated all those years. Cheating is cheating.

You guys are something, Wheels not withstanding.

Thanks, Gerry.

Yes he did. Not more than me in this thread. Context boys, context.

I know for a fact that there are Sooners who hide out and post here. This is what I want to know. The criminal interlopers love to talk about the QB Heisman winners. They also love to now say that Riley was some kind of fake that harmed their program. Are they ready to admit that all those big QB numbers they had under Riley were fake? Heisman voters were caught up in the video game numbers without understanding (or caring) that it was all just a show? This is not to mention that five of their six titles (all under Wilkinson and Switzer) were accomplished while cheating. If they want to talk about "tradition," they should be compared to San Quentin.

I love you Gerry. You are the best reporter on sports I know.

Let me clarify. When my grandfather said goddamn, it wasn't to cuss, but rather to say the God literally damned something. McAfee just cusses to try to play cool. I don't play that. Manning's cant change that.

Doesn't change the fact that he's a lowlife cussing idiot. I don't need to hear some guy cussing all day. My grandfather said goddamn every other sentence, but he didn't do it impress anyone or cuss for the heck of it. That's what he grew up doing in the 1920s and 1930s.

Another thing. Why is McAfee such an idiot but so popular? Makes me miss the days when stupid idiots couldn't get anywhere. The fact that Peyton is talking to a guy like this saddens me.

I'm looking forward to putting the squeeze on many teams. Want to turn Oklahoma into Nebraska now that everyone can pay. Want to close off the window for Ohio State to recruit Texas, Florida, Georgia. Can't wait to see how Oregon's one man NIL show isn't sustainable.

We're gonna suck again.

This is another reason Dakorien Moore ain't nothing despite what he thinks about committing to Phil Night and the money goobers at Oregon. My father taught me you can't buy death.

We need some kind of picture/logo with Bevo doing the horns down to UGA. All this horns down talk about penalties and taunting is nonsense. I wish Texas media would stay away from it. No one cares. I know Terry was upset about it after the UCF game, but that's an emotional reaction after a tough game. This kind of talk is what makes other fan bases think that Texas wants to be a bully but is really a bunch of ninnies. Man up and tell them to bring it on.
