    It's a large Texas forum. Every thread will largely be dominated by Texas posters. This is news? Not only that, it's funny in some form? My view is that the Big 12 will be fine as the 4th of 4 la

I was listening to Klatt’s podcast. He gets excited about the B12 because Fox broadcasts it and he played for the Buffs. He noted five teams with legit CFP aspirations this year (since the B12 champ is in the CFP with a first round bye): Utah, KSU, OSU, Arizona, Kansas. 
 
The worst thing for the B12 would be to put two 9-3 teams into the CCG (still in Arlington). In that case, only the winner makes the CFP. The best thing for them would be to match a 9-3 team with an 11-1 team. In that case, the 9-3 team (with everything to play for) beating the 11-1 team (clinches an at large) would be the most foreseeable thing in the world. 
 
Would be fun to see Utah matched with Arizona in Arlington. The attendance would be hilarious.

Even with Utah traveling okay and the corporate tickets being used, I would be surprised if the lower level was fully filled out for that event. Grim.

While it would be better for us if Piggy wins, I can't root for them. I hope the Pokes ride roughshod over them.

How on earth are there four coaches in any conference worse than Dave Aranda? He’s got one of the hottest seats in college football.

I want to clown but at least it's not on ESPN+.

 

Beautiful. Frankly, in Ford Stadium, there is room for all who want to see this game. 
 
Occasionally, I skim the SMU ON3 board. It’s fun, because 29 years after their last game with Texas, they still go on about how Texas brought them down, how Texas wants to keep them down. In poll and preseason discussions, they throw out comments about how “Texas is overrated again”. 
 
It’s fun. They have finally made it back to a major-ish conference. It’s now legal to build a team the way they built their last good ones. 
 
I was a student at UT during the height of the Pony Express. Texas had terrific teams and the Longhorn players were BMOC, almost gods among us. SMU had terrific teams and their players were like the hired help on campus. 
 
It’s fun to read their board and realize they don’t care about attendance or ratings. They’re fine if they only have 30k fans at a big game. They’re fine if they only have 15k fans. Just let them know who they need to write the check to to purchase a football team they can brag about.

Yormark might be the guy to make sure the stands are packed. I've always thought it stupid that folks let "big" games get broadcast with half empty stadia. Fucking bus them in and pay them to come inside. Free beer, half-time $100,000 drawing, whatever. Fill it up, make it loud. The advertisers would approve and the concessions would be pleased.

He's 2 years removed from a conference title.  Kirk Ferentz, for example, has never won an outright conference title.

Fair enough. In four years he’s 2-7, 12-2, 6-7 and 3-9. And they play a dogshit nonconference schedule every year.

His first team was inexperienced but had talented athletes left over from Rhule. The second year they grew up. Now it’s almost all his guys and the trajectory isn’t pretty. They lost to Texas fucking State last year and they weren’t close to competitive against us.

The natives are restless and they’ve been spoiled by Briles and Rhule. I don’t think Aranda makes it out of this season.

I generally agree with your point, I'm just pointing that his best season (which accounts for 25% of his tenure as a head coach at this point) beats a ton of active coaches, including a lot of the dudes ahead of him on that list.  And it's only 3 seasons ago, so there's gonna be some recency bias.

I think Baylor's a bottom 1/3rd (of the Big 12) team this year and he's back to being a DC next year.

I believe Barry Switzer won one Super Bowl in four years — 25% of his tenure — as Cowboys head coach, but that didn’t prevent many people from seeing he crashed the plane that someone else built and piloted successfully. Hell, “he” won three division titles in four years, I think. If the goal is to evaluate the coach, one must evaluate the circumstances. Imo, anyway.

I’m sure he doesn’t. The people here about a year and a half ago implying, or outright stating, Texas should’ve hired him instead of Sarkisian probably aren’t liking it, either.

I think the point of the image is the shitty graphics work. 

  1. Just extend the list by 2 spots instead of throwing the last two in small text, idiots.
  2. Look at the logos lol

Someone had photoshopped "Football" over "Soccer" on that graphic yesterday and I about rolled off my chair before I realized it had been altered.

I didn't catch 1 because I was too amused and distracted looking at 2 and trying to determine if they got any correct. Then if there was any logic to the logo error, alphabetical, reverse from the ranking order, or anything at all?

No is the answer.

Now that we're out of that shit conference, I may actually watch some WV games, ESPECIALLY WV vs Pedo State. That's gonna be a good game. 

WVU is going to be pretty good this year and they will set the tone for this upcoming season, as I think they will win that game.

I don't know if they win it, but at the same time I won't be shocked. It should be an entertaining game. We'll see if Allar has taken that next step, and we'll see if WV can contain the PSU RB's. Regardless, it's circled as a game I really want to watch.

#6836

I remember Bowman and Purdy playing in their respective freshmen years and the announcers billing it as a battle of freshman phenoms.  It was a pretty tight game that we pulled out and I remember in the next offseason there was a Bowman vs. Purdy debate on a lot of Big 12 pods.

Think that one got settled.

Bingo.  Gundy has a reputation for being anti NIL and he's been working pretty hard to reverse that (as opposed to just dying on the vine like Dabo).  This is just a means of letting people know he's on Team NIL.

For real, all things NIL related are about putting on a show. That's how the game is played now.

Absolutely.

I'm just saying that OSU probably isn't the first school to do this had Gundy been more publicly pro NIL in the first place.  Gundy dug himself a little bit of a hole on that front and I have 0 doubt it's being used against him on the recruiting trail.  Stuff like this is done to counteract that perception.

I disagree, the media overstated his comments about NIL when it was in its formative stages. Like a lot of old school coaches, he doesn't like it, but was always honest that you have to compete as best you can within the rules as they exist. I think FSU or another program did NIL QR Codes on the back of their jerseys for a spring game. This is just an extension and is making it to the media. Nobody's going to be clicking the QR code from the field or TV, but the reports show that we're playing the NIL game, which is the entire point.

I don't think it's spoiled to expect 6-6 from Aranda with the newest stadium and football ops facility in P4 along with a NIL fund that is competitive in the B12.

Not necessarily. Boosters can visit the players after the game, scan the helmet up close, and contribute. 
 
It’s a modernization of the old Sooner practice of dropping cash in players’ helmets as they walk under the stands after the game.

I think we'll be fine if we keep spending like we are right now, it just won't be this year. We'll see if the donors keep it up with NIL or if a Aranda and crew buyout + new staff slows that down somewhat.
