May 24, 20187 yr 13 hours ago, Pancho Negro said: As for playing the Aggies, Del Conte said he had a conversation with A&M AD Scott Woodward a couple of months ago and told him, “As our schedules permit, we should consider scheduling a game.” Was Woodward interested? “I didn’t get that. We never got to that point.” Texas is booked through 2027 (home against Michigan), and Del Conte said, “You could do something after that season.” This is bad and needs to be put a stop to. One Hundred Years. 7 down, 93 to go.
May 24, 20187 yr It would be nice if Texas could have an annual schedule that amounts to something like the upcoming season. 3 games OOC (1 true blueblood, 1 other P5 that is not a blueblood {e.g. Maryland, Wazzu}, and one local G5 {Rice/UTEP/UNT/UTSA type}) + 9 conference games would make for a respectable schedule with likely decent to good SOS.

Scheduling all the other SEC schools besides aggy would make their heads explode and be pretty funny. I’d also like to see us put Washington and Oregon on the schedule. a list of schools we should play that we haven't played in 30 years... last game - school - UT record against never Clemson never Florida State never Illinois never Michigan State never Nevada 1925 Arizona 1-0-0 1928 Vanderbilt 3-8-1 1936 Minnesota 0-1-0 1939 Wisconsin 1-0-0 1940 Florida 2-0-1 1943 Georgia Tech 1-0-0 1951 Kentucky 1-0-0 1951 Purdue 2-0-0 1957 South Carolina 0-1-0 1964 Army 1-0-0 1966 Indiana 3-0-0 1969 Navy 2-0-0 1969 Tennessee 2-1 1977 Boston College 2-1-0 1982 Utah 1-0-0 1985 Air Force 0-1-0
May 24, 20187 yr pipedream for CDC consideration: add the 3 service academies & invite domer, if they decline take Boston College, then do a SEC schedule of only 8 conference games (6 + 2) north: air force, kansas state, iowa state, west virginia, navy, army, boston college permanent crossover: kansas-kstate.... south: tech, rape, 0u, okie lite, kansas, tcu, texas

May 31, 20187 yr Hey Chris: fuck the aggies. Quit talking about playing those idiots again. They're worthless and the game was meaningless. Knock it off.
May 31, 20187 yr I kinda like the idea of every couple months CDC comes out and discusses current affairs of UT athletics and then throw out aggy still doesn't want to play. Something like, "... have had excellent capital contributions and expect to start breaking ground soon. aggy is still refusing to play us. Next month we'll be looking at..." Just to keep the truth in light that we've never said no.

I’m assuming when it’s appropriate and ready, we’ll play...We’d like to do that, it’s just matching up schedules. Our 9 games and 1 blue blood model leaves us w/ only two games per year to work with. A&M's schedule leaves even less room to fit us in. Their model of 8 SEC games, one 1-AA team, 1 Sun-belt team, and 1 conference USA foe leaves them with even less opportunities. While difficult, I can see us both working to a solution.

June 2, 20187 yr Your enthusiasm is shared, but an erection might be an odd response that will require you to take some focused self reflection.
June 2, 20187 yr Playing Aggy serves no purpose right now. They will be too bloodthirsty to win and they and their boosters will cheat however they can to ensure it, which will hinder the resurgence of Texas and damage the Big 12, because we will not follow suit. We arent as desperate to compete with them. Our psychological well-being is not at stake. We dont share the same ferver for them as they do for us. Playing USC and schools of that caliber is far more interesting.

Maybe the plan is to start at the top and then let the new upper management do the bigger overhaul.

June 5, 20187 yr Just saw that Oliver Luck is leaving the NCAA to be commissioner of the XFL. We should have hired him instead of Patterson, but in the end we ended up with the real deal in Del Conte. A few wasted years but headed back in the right direction.
