November 4, 20241 yr That probably fills out those OOC schedules (I assume the SEC will be at 9 league games by then). Would be sandwiched between these games unless the do a week zero think (which I am pretty sure won't happen as Sark has said on record he hates that idea) 2028 09/02 - Louisiana Tech 09/16 - UTSA 2029 09/01 - ULM 09/15 - UTEP
November 4, 20241 yr I guess this confirms we won't be doing a Big Ten/SEC cross-conference scheduling agreement.

In 1995 the highlight of the game for me was sitting in front of Coral Noonan's parents and chatting them up after halftime. In 2015 the ONLY and I mean only thing worth a shit was riding my motorcycle and parking in front of the Linebacker Lounge sign for the pregame festivities. I got my ass kicked by mother nature (rain) on the way to the game and then wound up leaving at halftime because I had to ride back to Naperville (was keeping my MC at a good friend's house) so I could fly back to Houston the next day to pack for the Singapore/Bali/Malaysia trip. Still pissed about losing at home my freshman year and it's wild to think that Charlie f'n Strong has delivered the only win over the MF Irish since I've been alive.
November 4, 20241 yr Jesus Christ, I just realized this could be my son's freshman year. I don't think he'll end up at ND. Right now he's interested in sports journalism (Indiana would be great) as well as math and engineering (Purdue would be great). Either way, that's sobering as fuck. Last time I was going to host a tailgate but had to bail and sell my tickets to Deej because my brother had his first game as a HC that Saturday years ago and I wanted to be there for him. I'll plan to host one again, if all things work out.

November 4, 20241 yr Still mad about 1996. A humiliating self inflicted loss. I was born shortly before the 1977 season, so Texas is 1-4 on my lifetime with Charlie Strong delivering our only win. Amazing.

Then they want to sell B1G vs SEC challenge as a separate package. This guy is convinced it will stay at 8 since he said there is 9 to 10 schools that want to keep it at 8.
November 4, 20241 yr Nice. I didn’t make it there in 2015 due to my wife being 9 months pregnant at the time (and in retrospect that was a good call), and now I can take the *checks math* 13 or 14 year old there to see a game.

Reportedly Alabama voted against because Saban didn’t want their annual rivals to be TN, Aub, and LSU (thought it was too tough and wanted Mississippi State). Tennessee voted along with them because they were concerned that going to 9 might take that game away from them as Auburn and LSU have been far more valuable to the league than Bama/TN. That issue has since been resolved and Alabama is on board and publicly has agreed to play all three annually. If all this is true, the move to 9 conference games should pass 9-7. This is why before Texas/OU joined they agreed to playing the reverse schedule in 2025 as a peace offering to those who voted against and to give them enough time to sort out OOC games while still negotiating with ESPN for more money.
November 5, 20241 yr So, 1995, the maid of honor to my first wife was living in Chicago. I flew up for the game and stayed at her place. (No, no pics and nothing happened since I had not yet morphed into a full blown scumbag yet). She had a relative who worked in the Notre Dame alum office and was involved with tickets. I was dressed in a burnt orange shirt of course. We ended up in the Notre Dame alumni section at the 50 yard line. As the game was about to start, I heard a very familiar voice right behind me ... "TEXAS FANS BABEEE... IT'S GONNA BE A LONG DAY BABEEE!" Yup.. Dick Vitale, one row behind me. And he was throwing out some great lines. As I started to respond in a halfway intelligent manner, we talked a bit about Notre Dame and UT of course. His daughter was on the volleyball team at ND at the time. As ND started pulling away in the second half, I remember Dickie V saying, "Look out for Rickie. He has the look of a Heisman winner. I just looked at him and said something inane like, "Time will tell." Well, game over, he shook my hand saying thanks for being a good sport. My friend and I walked through the parking lot, accepting beers from ND alums, teaching some ND coeds how to 2 steps. A fabulous atmosphere in the fall. By all means, go if you can.

Figured coaches would like the extra bye week
November 5, 20241 yr Rooster Andrews stood behind us in '95. He couldn't see too well, so we replayed each game to him. James Street was in front of us. Justin McLemore (fine Waxahachie athlete) couldn't catch shit that day.

November 5, 20241 yr I wonder if they still don’t have the votes for a 9 game SEC schedule, and CDC is making his own luck. Dellenger wrote a long piece on Texas before the Georgia game. Basically, big time home games are still their big moneymaker.
November 20, 20241 yr This is exactly how it will go..... Some weeks before the game a ND prick will come on here and start... Hi...ND fan here. I want to see what you think of the game. Texas has an awesome team. Then blah blah, blah for days telling about ND team. All those ass holes want to do it get you to agree that ND will win going away Fuck em
November 20, 20241 yr I have never seen a fan base trash a parking lot like the ND fans did at the last UT game. It was like 60k people decided to dump all their shit anywhere they wanted.
November 20, 20241 yr Sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys...tell them to go out there with all they've got, and win just one for...Tyrone Swoopes. Edited November 20, 20241 yr by runthebone
November 20, 20241 yr I'm old and fatalistic enough right now that when I read Texas is scheduled to play [insert team] in 20___, I think, "I wonder if I'll be alive then."

November 20, 20241 yr I hope that leaves enough time for Sark to get the 18 Wheeler package integrated into our offensive schemes.

It was like 60k people decided to dump all their shit anywhere they wanted. you clearly werent at the ohio state game in '06. Texas were given advance notice there were so many fucking ohio state fans showing up without tickets, wandering around aimlessly that UT opened up Frank Erwin to broadcast the game in there for those without actual game tickets. The result was something like 20-25k buckeyes made it into the stadium and another 17k fucking wandering around all the now virtually empty tailgates, helping themselves to anything they saw they liked, dropping shit all over the place totally trashing the entire state parking lot areas that whole box area MLK south between Brazos and Red River all the way to 15th st. we always tailgated in Lot 80 near the swim center, and the social work building (which I think back then was either a daycare or afterschool place for UT parents), which for the 4 years previously we had tailgated there, had their doors unlocked to allow us to use the bathrooms, which was fucking awesome. the bathrooms were trashed after that game, and those doors stayed locked every gameday after then until we were kicked out in 2014 when the cooling towers took out most of Lot 80 the entire fucking UT parking area of like 20 square blocks was an absolute trash warzone. It hadnt happened before, through 2014 it never happened again, but we got punished because those fucking ohio trash hitchhiked their ass from ohio to austin without a ticket, shit all over, and never returned. I guess they did that because we won the year before and they trashed their entire campus that night... and they felt like they had to trash our campus and tailgate area because they had won here that night? I guess they live to trash win or lose.... Edited November 20, 20241 yr by AUS-97HORN
November 20, 20241 yr We haven't won in South Bend since 1934... I may have to sit the next one out because we are 0-2 in games I attend there in my lifetime and not just that they were fucking beatdowns. Edited November 20, 20241 yr by Pimphand
November 20, 20241 yr And yes I know Mackovic and Strong sucked as coaches but still lol Just now, HenryJames said: Maybe you'll be dead by 2028. The good die young...

Nice of the Horns to give them a helping hand to relevance.
November 21, 20241 yr This hit sounded like a gunshot even in my cheap seat season tix, top rows of the west upper deck, north end. Randy Kinder can eat a bag of dicks.
