OU used to measure success in NCs, never going too long between them.

It’s been 25 years now, 23 of those in the Big 12. An historic drought by their standards. I’m not sure the SEC is their problem but as with everyone else there aren’t a lot of layups.
It’s a terrible idea that was tried before and no one liked it.
A&M doesn’t exactly have a great track record with big time hires, save Jackie Sherrill. Fran is one of several cases.

I too believe he could’ve done well at Bama. Sorry to hear this news, he had a good career overall.
Paxton is so awful his estranged wife just starting running ads to help save things…. “Even though they’re terrible humans (including my corrupt cheating husband), please vote for our team over someone with human decency and character.” :lol:
OUs offense has looked putrid the last 2 RRS.

While the series is tied since 2020, Texas hasn’t scored less than 30 in their losses in high scoring games.

OU has been held to 0, 3, and 6 in their 3 losses including a 49-0 thumping (their worst in the entire series). By comparison Texas hasn’t scored in the single digits since 2004.

But Texas struggles to find rhythm and makes mistakes on offense and special teams. It really feels like a 24-10 type game and maybe close enough at half to be interesting. Hard to see OU solving what Simmons, Muschamp and co. will bring with two weeks to prep. This is a nasty defense, the most stacked that Sark has had, and actually reminiscent of some of Stoops’ defenses in the 2000s.

Smothers being back should help with some of that offensive rhythm.
Phil at one time had the largest private collection of artifacts from the Alamo. He donated all of it back, worried he might lose it in one of his divorces.

You can now see that special exhibit at the Alamo and Phil even narrates the battle over a large diorama.

While on tour he would take a break and stay incognito across the street from the Alamo to visit. He credits the obsession from growing up watching the “Davy Crockett” show.

Both sides are good at distraction. The GOP seems to come up with some wild ones around election time.

No one really cares about the 0.05% of the Texas population who are trans or the 1 person wanting to play soccer or whatnot. It’s like #151 on the importance list. But the GOP ad playbook seems to be all in on the trans this cycle. :lol:

Nice. Hope he enjoys the arse kicking with a corn dog and Budweiser heavy in a wax cup.
They’re pricing based on what each market and area will bear to maximize profit.

Sounds pretty smart to me.

Somewhat related, McDs is about to go on a massive multibillion dollar, multi year update of the restaurants and menus. They intend to stick around and stay relevant unlike some others who are shuttering stores and poorly managed.

Tony will land somewhere. He’s proof that just bringing energy and excitement to a job goes a very long way.

USC is a disgrace. The fall of that football team and their fandom parallels the collapse of the state.


It’s a shame too. The coliseum is an awesome place to watch a game. You do feel a little like being in ancient Rome during a USC game especially if there’s a decent crowd (rare nowadays).

As far as California as a whole, people have been saying that since at least the 60s. It’s a massive state with a lot of good and bad. And is the 4th largest economy in the world, not really “collapsed.”
Elon didn’t have anything to do with this. It’s not on starbase property and he didn’t commission or pay for it.

You can google the backstory on the foundry which is… interesting.
If Cornyn had just gotten a few more % points in the primary this race would be a non topic. Paxton actually underperformed his polling by 6 points. (Talarico overperformed by a similar number as an aside)

Paxton got the last minute Trump stamp in a runoff with very low turnout.

Led Zeppelin
AC/DC
Pink Floyd
Black Sabbath
Rolling Stones

Have a hard time ranking the Beatles on a “rock” list despite being the best band ever.

He’ll probably try but Coach Boom is much better as a DC.

I wonder how long he and Sark can last without one of them having a coronary.
Wow that’s awful news for Paxton if accurate, given the area/district.

It’s a dem internal poll though.
Emmit was a bowling ball in one of the best running game offenses and o lines in NFL history. My favorite Cowboy from that era.

Henry is just a pure freak. He deserves it and Emmit would probably agree.

That’s a lie and it’s like whack a mole with you Poli tards.
Talarico knows full well Corrupt Ken isn’t going to debate. He’s put it in his ads about the Fox proposal and playing the hand as long as it lasts.
OU is priority 1, always.

I would rate Arky and Aggie similarly still but probably in the minority. Depends on the year.
Fox hosting was Talarico’s idea even though he’s up in the polls, several by good margins.

Paxton is still too chicken to agree.
