Tell Me About Texas a&m
Kyle Field All-time Record as of ND game 2024: 374-170-26, giving them credit for all the games they played against FCS patsies and real teams alike. That makes .679. [334-156-12 through 2015 (per A&M media guide via Wikipedia), 40-14 since 2015 (per sports-reference.com)] Our record at DKR is 400-122-10 (per UT Athletics via Wikipedia), or .761. Tell me again about the tougher place to play.

Don't go for CR-light. Be CR-free. If you are at all tempted to mention CR in justifying your post, make it on CR.

Realignment talk not going away
Yoga Berra is quoted as saying that it's hard to make predictions, especially about the future. That said, money talks. The NCAA is a leech that lives off of basketball tournament money, and that money is eventually going to find a home with someone who has something to offer other than being pretentious. 20 years from now, and probably much sooner, NCAA will have ceased to have meaningful existence with respect to big college sports. Conferences may not disappear though, because they have meaning, function, and value outside of CFB and basketball. Call whatever contract settles how the teams in Prestige Worldwide interact a super-conference charter, but don't be surprised if vestiges of the old system remain.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality
You originally listed it as separate from UTHSC/H to make your list of 4. If you meant schools that offer medically related (but not actually MD) degrees, your list is missing quite a few. If you tell me what you really meant by one of only four medical institutions, I can make fun of your real point more easily. I'm just having fun here waiting on our season to start-- no hard feelings I hope.

2024 Fall Camp Thread - Bubble Wrap ALL THE RB
Haha. I guess it could qualifiy by virtue of changing previously bad news in a way that subtracts some old bad (PCL, apparently good chance of complete PLC) that seems to outweigh new bad (I don't remember previous mention of ACL).

In a way, it seems better for us if this company is an aggy NIL donor. Some of their sport dollars will be redirected to us.

2024 Fall Camp Thread - Bubble Wrap ALL THE RB
Dude. We brag about going to the good school that isn't stupid old A&M or other SEC, but we read and write in middle-school-level kyriolexy. Figure it out.

If it is a real thing, actively encourage the idea. Introduce her to passionate things aggy says about its corps, milkmen, overalls, nut squeezing etc. If she has any humanity, your pushing her toward such repulsive turditions will end this nonsense.

This is a man. He's over 40. He's a man.
Actually, it would mean 1% alcohol content of your blood (2 proof). True. Though there is a recorded case of a guy surviving for a while (and succumbing to crash injuries) with BAC of 1.48.

2024 Fall Camp Thread - Bubble Wrap ALL THE RB
Tear of the LCL and PCL implies significant chance there was (unreported in lay updates) injury to more of the PLC (posterolateral corner). This is a bad injury, and I would be surprised to see him really participate in spring ball. Maybe a coin-flip (depending on details not available to me) on whether the CJ of 2025 looks like the CJ of early summer 2024. Don't shoot the messenger.

Religions are....
The problem to which I referred was that for cells with a nucleic acid genome to occur, it suffices neither to have nucleic acids which would encode an extremely simple organism nor the amino acid-based construct(s) that distinguish a cell from a transient lipid pocket. Rather, a proto-cell requires both. Modern theories do propose that either the mechanisms of cellular function developed reproducibility or that self-replicating codes developed function. The Miller experiment demonstrated that the building blocks I granted plentifully arguendo in my experiment can form, not that life can. Nucleic acids not connected to an organism do not evolve, and simple cells without a genome would be coincidental mini-reactors unable to transmit their design for the sake of future models. We have self-propagating processes in nature, e.g. crystallization, but that process differs in important ways.

Oklahoma Recruiting 2024: Sunken Eyes and Licking Lips
A salary cap is not particularly relevant. The idea of NIL is that players are free to be compensated by third parties (not for pay per play per se) past what the university already offers for being not the team. As in any professional sport, there will be more opportunities for third party money for some players than for others. The money Mahomes makes for insurance commercials does not count towards the salary cap in the NFL. A team that has more friends in the third party space who are willing to spend more money can not by restricted by a salary cap.

Jim Harbaugh NO LONGER coaches at Michigan
Those who find reality puzzling might not understand reality very well. Those who are not puzzled but choose to characterize it as puzzling have a different and arguably worse problem.
