  • Yormarks reception today, and the absolute refusal by all of us in attendance to let up, will be one of the memories this 50+ year Longhorn fan will take happily to his grave…

  • I like the thread, and the basic idea of it.    One clarification- Yormark and Weiser did not create the animosity to Texas, the obvious desire in the league office to hinder Texas. They merely re

If Yormark pulls this off you can expect to see the Coca-Cola/State Farm/Waffle House Southeastern Conference or some damn thing soon enough.

I'm going to massively disagree with you on this. The SEC doesn't need naming rights. It is THE name of college football.

But, let's say the numbers being thrown around are correct - Yormark gets $30MM per year to rebrand the Big 12, "the Allstate Conference" (their name/brand sucks anyway, especially without UT and OU). How much is the SEC gonna be worth?

You're right - it's possible the SEC sees itself as "the brand" in collegiate athletics, but I'd be surprised if Sankey didn't shop it around. Why leave money on the table?

I imagine Sankey knows there's a risk to cheapening your brand long term for bundles up front. There has to be a buffer eventually for college football against just allowing the whole thing to be lined up in front of a corporate firing squad. There's also big business to lose by becoming The Cheez It/Manscape/Saudi Wahhabist Bonesaw Conference.

Me, "Does your conference have insurance?"

Brett Rosenberg, "Yeah, but it was through a friend.  At AllState." 

Me, "Who are my clients?  Why you wanna sue Texas?"

Sol Yormark, "Sue you.  Sue everybody!"

In the 80s, Gattis had a centralized call center with one phone number to order pizza anywhere in austin: 459-2222

(you will recall - if you were born - that 10-digit dialing did not become mandatory until '94 - before then you could dial a 7-digit number within an area code)

Sophomore year Jester East #507, telephone number was 495-2222

We averaged 5-ish misdials a day and got sick of it, so we started answering "Gattis" and taking orders

If you didn't get your pizza from august 85 through may 86, welp, now you know why

Gatti’s while at school, my buddies would scoff at me, as I’d insist to go inside and eat my small personal pizza. The intent or MO for me was to eat the pre-mixed Taco/Mexican Salad, already mixed at the salad bar. That stuff never failed me!

Houston’s claim to fame is still mens college golf. Numerous NCs over the decades. They were OSU before OSU became a golf school. Hell the Cowboys’ golf coach became the AD for a short stint.

Meh...

I forgot Chet Gladchuk. Rep to anyone that can cite the reason....

#929

Outside of Chet being the UH AD during the late ‘90s, I really don’t know. Most of the Coogs’ golf success died with the end of the SWC. My buddy/friend, Tray Tyner, was one of the last Cougars to win a SWC Championship (individually) prior to the B12.

Hook’em!!!

UH won a NC in golf when Tray was a Freshman, but on the team with Steve Elkington and Billy Ray Brown, to name a few.

He was the asshat behind BleacherGate, where he came up with the ingenious scheme to put up some TinkerToy temp bleachers in his high school stadium and sell them to Texss fans, only to have them condemned the day before the game. DeLoss had suggested long beforehand playing at a larger venue in Houston but Gladchuk and whatever Jabroni head coach they had at the time insisted on playing in that ghetto shithole. Dodds was furious and after that home and home was done in 01/02 Texas never played them again in football until our final Rig12 season.

You bring back the memories of cinder blocks holding up bleachers/scaffolding the days prior to that game. UH was too prideful to even move the game to Rice’s stadium, because that’s what DD suggested for maximum gate/crowd. Rice wasn’t even “home” that weekend, so no conflict.

Hook’em!!!

A lot of programs used being in the same conference as Texas as justification for thinking they were equivalent to Texas in program status. 
 
When the SWC folded, Texas was willing to play the “Left Behinds” located in Houston, for recruiting reasons. These games with UH and Rice were set up as two games in Austin for one in Houston. Then, UH showed in Bleachergate that they didn’t know their place, so they were dropped from the rotation. 
 
I know no one wants to play the UH’s, Baylor’s, TCU’s and TT’s anymore, but I’m sure after time passes, there will be talk about it again. My hope is that Bellmont insists that any game played in this state must be played in a stadium large enough to hold all the Longhorn fans in the area that want to go.

Will never happen. We might play Rice at NRG to have a game in Houston (in a 2-1 type deal) and that would be it. As for the big xii, the only team I could see us playing in any type of home & home would be ASU.

#939

Sure, but time will pass. University presidents have short tenures. ADs have even shorter tenures. Time will pass and some new AD at TCU or Baylor will get the idea of seeing about a home and home, you know, for old time’s sake. The appropriate response by a UT AD should be, “Our fans will need 50k tickets at your place. How do you plan to manage that?”

I get you have you're thing and whatnot but shit like this is just stupid as fuck. If you don't want to play them don't play them. Framing it like this is just fucking nonsense. OU and OSU are playing bedlam in pretty much every other sport. No hard feelings preventing it. Football is a different animal and will get figured out somehow but it's not hard feelings over the move.

Do you have a point? You clearly don’t understand the conversation. 
 
We were talking about UH Bleachergate, after which, Texas stopped playing UH, because, fuck them. Until the B12 invited them in, and absolutely made sure Texas would have to play them, there in Texas’ final year. 
 
I can link articles where Tech has complained to the governor about Texas not wanting to schedule them. Economics studies by Baylor about how vital those games are to Waco. 
 
I have no idea why you are upset by our off season talk. 

#950

It's absolutely pathetic that those schools want to leech off of us because they don't have a real fan base and barely generate money unless they play ebil Texas. That's when people care and want to spend their money on tickets. Not Baylor/Tech/UH playing one another or Cincy, ASU, UA, BYU, Utah, etc.
