I agree 100%, I think this is a complete bluff by OU. OU doesn't have the resources that A&M to say frick you to the rest of the BIG XII and face possible litigation/damages.

Yeah, and I doubt you actually graduated from high school.

You don't. A&M takes football and their hatred for all things Texas too far. This obsession resulted in dead students. You don't have to argue about it, but you should be ashamed for contributing to a culture that allowed that tragedy to happen.

Oh no!

Interesting tweets from Austin Statesman writer Bohls at Rose Bowl for UClA UT game. Said 6 schools have approached PAC. Most from Big12. Also said Scott and UT officials have no plans to meet.

Apparently PAC has a rule no non-conference games after third game of season. UT and OU could no longer play in October if OU goes and UT doesn't.

USC and Stanford w/ Notre Dame were grandfathered in as only exceptions

I thin OU and OSU go. Not sure about Tech if UT doesn't.

Prove to me that it was not a good example. You can't, because it was. Real life is a part of sports when your students start killing themselves in preparation of a game. That's not making light of their deaths, it is pointing out the obvious that aggies want to ignore. Your obsession with Texas cost those kids their lives. Congrats.


Actually excessive rains and an expansive clay soil caused the collapse of the bonfire; structurally it was no different than the previous 50 odd years that the Bonfire was built in the “wedding cake” configuration.
From an engineering perspective your argument is flawed.
On a personal level I find the reference morally reprehensible.
Fortunately this type of person is not representative of Texas grads/fans as a whole.

looks like they were bluffing a bit

quote:

“But frankly, we wanted the impression out there that we might go to the Pac-12 because that gave us some leverage,” the source said. “We were using that as leverage to say, ‘Hey, you want us to stay? Let's have some of these reforms.'”

UT is still going to own the Big-UT's-Bitches League. The reason they were denied Pac 12 membership is becuase the Pac 12 flat out said UT wasnt willing to go for equal revenue.

No way they do it in the Big12. Now OU is demanding the Big 12 be saved.

They just folded their hand. Dumbasses.

I don't know if OU was serious about leaving for the Pac or just making a power play. Either way I think the Pac feels like it was getting played again and didn't want any part of it. Now they all look like jerk-offs again
