It’s a fucking beating to catchup to this freight train of a thread. Some of the idiotic tropes here need to be retired. 
1) Texas is fine taking a breather from having to carry a conference. They’re fine with having plenty of other folks carry weight. There’s no interest in power plays. This was the fucking power play. 
2) The fucking handwringing about the league dictating non-con scheduling is tedious. Part of the UT brand is playing difficult non-conference games. 
Word is 2 8 team divisions, 9 conference games every year. Allegedly going to avoid FCS scheduling and others want to stop doing so, such as Bama and Georgia. 
If there is a permanent cross-division team that each team is paired with one of the two cross-division games each year, you have to think Texas and Bama are paired up. 
One of the frenzied and panicked “demands” in the last few days from ATM was to not be in the same division as Texas, which has also been shut down. 

About cross division. I see LSU and Bama playing that game. I see us matched up with GA or Florida. Which I’m ok with.

I leave the country for a week and all hell breaks loose.   What in the wild, wild world of fucking sports is going on here.  
 

Ags being little twats and we’re slinging big dick all over the bar?   So business as usual then?   Good to hear.

Sources: Despite Big 12 meeting Sunday, Texas and OU still to notify league Monday they won't renew GOR

Chip Brown

Despite a Big 12 executive committee meeting on Sunday that included Texas president Jay Hartzell and Oklahoma president Joe Harroz, Texas and OU are still expected to notify the Big 12 on Monday that the league's two founding members won't be renewing their grant of rights in the Big 12 when those rights expire at the end of the 2024-25 school year, a high-ranking source close to the situation told Horns247.

That notification is the first step in Texas and Oklahoma then being considered for admission to the Southeastern Conference, a process "that could move quickly," the source said.

The Big 12's executive committee met with Hartzell and Harroz on Sunday via videoconference to see what possible changes could be made to improve the league while Texas and OU are still in it, sources told Horns247.

One source close to the situation said Sunday's meeting was more of a "listening session" for Hartzell and Harroz as members of the executive committee talked about several things, including the possibility of an increased share of revenue for Texas and Oklahoma.

"Nothing was officially proposed - it was just conversation," the source said.

The members of the Big 12's executive committee in Sunday's meeting consisted of Texas Tech president Lawrence Shovanec, who is the Big 12 board of directors chairman, as well as Baylor president Linda Livingstone and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby.

Bowlsby released a statement that said:

“The meeting was cordial, and the executive committee expressed a willingness to discuss proposals that would strengthen the conference and be mutually beneficial to OU and UT, as well as the other member institutions of the conference. I expect that we will continue our conversations in the days ahead, and we look forward to discussing thoughts, ideas and concepts that may be of shared interest and impact.”

Bowlsby's statement marked his first public comments since news broke last week in the Houston Chronicle that Texas and Oklahoma have been exploring a move to the SEC.

Bowlsby was quoted at Big 12 Media Days earlier this month as saying, "A lot of the motivation for realignment is no longer there. Is that to say it couldn’t happen? No, it could possibly happen for other reasons. But it doesn't appear to me that the motivation is there at this point in time. Not to say it couldn't happen, but it's not one of the things that keep me up at night.”

 

 

You cannot convince me that Linda Livingstone is the real name of Baylor’s president. Sounds like a Clue character.

The stupidity of the average poster on SEC Rant is, well, exactly what I expected. Reading what those mouth breathing fucking retards type makes my brain bleed.

They do rag on aggy a lot.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, please show your work and include 1) the cocktail party, 2) legion field structural integrity, 3) city of birmingham investment in same; 4) cotton bowl; 5) city of dallas investment in same; 6) situational awareness around the 2nd saturday in october in fair park; 7) jerry jones & 8.) pig/aggy

I think you misunderstood what I was saying.

The SEC leaves neutral site rivalry game decisions to the individual schools.

The only neutral site rivalry game that went home and home was the Iron Bowl. And that was AU’s doing not the SEC.

There will be no issue with the UT/OU game.

If we stay in this conference or anything less than going to either the SEC, Big10, or ACC, I’m going to find it hard to ever care about UT sports again. What a potential let down…

Yep.  Either that someone is going to get fired or offered early retirement.  The agenda posting does allow for those type of discussions too.  

that is interesting.  i watched this thread and everything it documented from the perspective of a SIGINT analyst, and a plausible theory is that sharp was so unhinged this week, that aggy have been told his departure is part of their reparations for what happened.

There is some poor fucker named Ethan Smith who lives in Birmingham and has nothing to do with the SEC getting his ass blown up right now.

And getting death threats from aggy.

That wasn’t their last appearance. I know this because we lost to them on my birthday in 2003. The tickets were a gift and it was hot and miserable. And we fucking lost. It sucked so fucking much.

That was the Tommy Lee Jone, Man of the House filming right? I was there too.

I was at the game, but must have been stuck in line for the restroom at halftime because I don’t remember all that. I do remember that the crowd chanted “SEC! SEC!” at them in the 4th quarter as we were whipping their ass. 

That Rice game was miserable with the rain.  Plus, Bryant Westbrook blew out his knee on that shitty turf.

 

Shitty times.

Oh fuck. Already hate this shit.

I can’t believe that it took me by surprise, but the aggy combination of impotent rage, lack of self awareness, and complete inability to read the room actually shocked me.  Must be a decade out of practice. 
 

They other schools’ reps and legs are just pandering for votes and scrambling for what benefits them.  Not surprising that they’ll work any angle - they’re desperate. 
 

But aggy is actually going to make money, gets a high chair at the adults table, and yet they feel betrayed and a minority (however sizeable) is willing to torpedo their football future over it by walking away.  
 

Just jaw-dropping in its childishness and stupidity. 

Yeah.  Can't believe you are such an idiot to be taken by surprise!

Makes no sense.  We haven't requested to join the SEC yet, so they have nothing to accept yet.  And we won't request to join until some time after we tell the B12 we are Audi, which looks like it will happen tomorrow.

...at 10:59am ET, per SEC switchboard operator, Tiff Bannen

This is awesome. I wish we did more of this. The band takes itself so seriously now.

Now hold on here. I was the first one to make that joke. Me. I was the one. No others are allowed to make that joke. I have over 1,000 rep points and deserve some respect. But no, you people who I once thought were my friends just let some little brother ne'er-do-well johnny-come-lately follow ME to the same joke and nobody comes to my defense? Nobody asks, "What about Reese Bennett's feelings?" I've even started threads on this board and this is the thanks I get? I've invested almost 975 posts here and this is how little you care?  I won't stand for it. If I don't get sole rights to that joke in this thread, civilization will crumble and Texas will lie in ruins. I also want that other guy booted out pronto, damn it! I have to warn all of you to expect a sternly worded letter shortly. I might even make a phone call or two. In addition, I'm sure all my new Surly buddies will read this, see the wrong that has been committed, and come to my defense--including my imaginary friends in the state legislature. Surly Horns will rue the day. Rue the day, I say. 

--72 hours later--

Uh, yeah, just got carried away there. Please don't neg me anymore. I was just joking. I love being here. Best group of fans anywhere, right? Ha, ha. Never wanted to be on another board. I'm just fine with everyone making that joke. Really. The more the merrier I always say. Oh, and I promise to laugh at every joke about South Austin's mom too. Those are always so original. In fact, I think Linda Livingstone is South Austin's mom. Ha, ha. We're good now aren't we? Pretty please?
