When riding someones coattails is your only hope of staying in the P5 then you’ll kiss that ass and do as you’re told

Colorado always wanted to be in the PAC. The Texoma 4 rumors to the PAC made their mind up. UT didn't have anything to do with that.

Mizzou wanted the Big 10 and got scared when they almost got left in the Big East during PAC realignment discussions. Texas had nothing to do with that.

Nebraska had nowhere to go but the Big 10 and they wouldn't let them have the partial qualifiers that Nebraska prospered with. They may have been bothered by UT but that was because they became mediocre once they couldn't admit partials anymore. They are killing it in the Big 10. LOL

College Station has always been a cry baby and always wanted to be in the SEC. They had the perfect storm, College Station Governor in office and the state legislature out of session. The college station Governor was definitely NOT calling the legislature back into session for that. Honestly, they got tired of being overshadowed by UT and Texas Tech. If that's UT's fault, so be it.

UT is often viewed as the bad guy but reality says the blame should fall on others as well.
So the Texhoma Four and all the BS of pulling out of the Big XII had nothing to do with the total disruption of the conference? David Boren's comments at OU about Sooner options paved the way for Missouri's exit. Our leaders were looking for replacements for Nebraska and Colorado, and OU was still spouting off about options to bale on us. Missouri decided that Friday night to get out. If the PAC had voted to take OU and OSU, they would both be PAC now. In the Big XII it is Texas and Oklahoma, then everyone else. It took four conference members leaving for UT to open a discussion regarding a more equal revenue sharing deal.

So it sounds like OU is the reason Mizzou left, not UT?

I remember correctly, Missouri offered Nebraska/Colorado exit money to keep OU and UT happy. UT finally agreed to equal revenue when the forgotten 5( Kansas, K-State, Iowa St, Baylor and Mizzou) offered exit money.

That was a long time ago and I could be mistaken.

I believe you just validated my point here. It's all about OU and UT.

So you traded 2 bullies for 4-5 bullies in the SEC and lost your main rival in Kansas?

OT--- I love the ignore feature. Comments from t-shirt fans go unread.

UT is conference killing cancer

Tech is a pawn that enables the conference killing cancer

I trust our leadership is smart enough to strike first and land OU/KU

This is the SEC, not the L10

NOBODY tells the SEC who it “has” to take to make their lives more convenient

The SEC takes who it wants

It's a fight among College Station fans. The College Station Chancellor will do what he is told or he can move his school to another conference

Texas Tech told UT no thanks on airing the Texas Tech vs Texas St game on the LHN. Guess who agreed to it as long as Kansas media outlets were able to televise in Kansas? Yep---- the University of Kansas. Some want Kansas who bowed down to UT. Texas Tech didn't. Who is the pawn?

Some have mentioned that UT is a conference killer so I ask why UT is doing this to Texas Tech? Why is UT trying to derail our chance at a Vet school?

https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comme...ian-school


Why did UT accuse Tech of cover up after the 2001 game in Lubbock?

http://www.dailytoreador.com/archives/mc...e8921.html

Why did the UT Chancellor who was well regarded in military circles later have to apologize to Tech and Lubbock when one of their own was responsible?

https://www.myplainview.com/news/article...971603.php

Fact remains---
UT is 32-20 vs College Station
Texas Tech is 27-24-1 vs College Station.

College Station doesn't want anyone who will make them less relevant in their new conference. The conference will invite who it wants and College Station will like it or leave.

Is Texas a conference killer? I don't think so.
Four great schools packed up and left. Now the Big XII is now the little Big Ten. I would say Texas had a great deal to do with that.

That's quite the apologetic argument for Texas. Deloss Dodds would be proud.

If I'm not mistaken, Alabama and Texas have scheduled a Home/Home. I hope you get to experience our great state and not judge it on your visit to Austin or college station.

I'm sure you have proof of this?

If I remember correctly, you think Chris Beard is interested in the college station job? He damn sure isn't interested in the SMU job. Why is a pony mod even here?

Texas would lose a bunch of oil money if that happened. The guys in college station might not be able to pay $75 million for a HC while asking the legislature for $55 million to keep up with UT.

RE: Super secret meeting between Texas and Texas A&M
I know you’re pretending to have me on ignore and are far too obsessed to actually do it so I ask

Why are you here?

You know for a FACT that no P4 wants Tech and its crap academics as a stand alone addition and your only hope of inclusion is to ride UT’s coattails yet again... IF they even wanted you anymore since your subservience vote isn’t enough to win them any issues or influence in a conference full of schools who don’t care what UT wants nor do you have any powerful friends in the legislature that can threaten them.

So since you have literally zero say in your own future,

Why are you here?

RE: Super secret meeting between Texas and Texas A&M
Texas has hemmed themselves in per preferred options. While some here express it is near a slam dunk that UT will be heading to the SEC or the BIG, I am not convinced such will be the result. Bringing TTU along, narrows these options to the point of near elimination. I don't believe UT feels that obligated to TTU.

The PAC12 could be receptive to a 2-school package from Texas plus two others, but the PAC12 will have their own parameters of what is deemed acceptable.

This ACC-partial Texas exploration has been floated for a few years. The ACC opened that can of worms with the hybrid agreement with Notre Dame, adapting an approach from the old BE. Texas can go to the ACC and take a "friend" with them such as TCU. It's weird geography and stretched logistics, but perhaps an acceptable resolution. I can't see, though, UT fans would be delighted with the locations and travel distances involved. It is sorta like WVU redux.

Back to the PAC12. The BIG12 doing some type of scheduling agreement or confederation with the PAC12 has been proposed, though that would be a challenging undertaking to attempt.

Does Texas want to ESCAPE the Big12, or do they want to bring a segment of the Big12 along if they move/shift elsewhere? Texas needs to answer that because near all limited options don't offer both.

As to the SEC, Texas has some relationships they need to repair. And that goes beyond rhetoric and includes good-faith behavioral changes.

You act like Texas Tech is bottom of the barrel. Reality says something different. We do a lot more with a lot less in state funding. Heck some schools need $55 million so they can try to keep up with UT. Talk about a parasite

In Texas, all schools are political parasites and beg the legislature for money to make themselves elite. Texas Tech doesn't get those $$$'s and have to perform with less. For a school our age and size, I think Texas Tech has done very well considering what our friends in Austin and college station get.

Cry all you want

Nobody wants Tech and it’s crap academics as a stand-alone addition and you know it

Your only hope to stay in the Power Conference of for UT to decide to ask for it when they don’t need you at all and you have zero political power to make them

Any school like yours that is too weak and powerless to control its own destiny has no business on a realignment board

So why are you here?

To defend Tech’s internet honor?

To try and convince us that we need to care about a school who doesn’t matter in realignment because it doesn’t control its own destiny?

Why are you here?

I've already been to College Station. It was a very nice place. I've traveled through TX a good bit actually.

But what does any of that have to do with pretending UT doesn't bare any blame for multiple schools leaving the Big 12?

The college station Governor was definitely NOT calling the legislature back into session for that. Honestly, they got tired of being overshadowed by UT and Texas Tech. If that's UT's fault, so be it.

UT is often viewed as the bad guy but reality says the blame should fall on others as well.
So the Texhoma Four and all the BS of pulling out of the Big XII had nothing to do with the total disruption of the conference? David Boren's comments at OU about Sooner options paved the way for Missouri's exit. Our leaders were looking for replacements for Nebraska and Colorado, and OU was still spouting off about options to bale on us. Missouri decided that Friday night to get out. If the PAC had voted to take OU and OSU, they would both be PAC now. In the Big XII it is Texas and Oklahoma, then everyone else. It took four conference members leaving for UT to open a discussion regarding a more equal revenue sharing deal.

So it sounds like OU is the reason Mizzou left, not UT?

I remember correctly, Missouri offered Nebraska/Colorado exit money to keep OU and UT happy. UT finally agreed to equal revenue when the forgotten 5( Kansas, K-State, Iowa St, Baylor and Mizzou) offered exit money.

That was a long time ago and I could be mistaken.

I believe you just validated my point here. It's all about OU and UT.

So you traded 2 bullies for 4-5 bullies in the SEC and lost your main rival in Kansas?

OT--- I love the ignore feature. Comments from t-shirt fans go unread.
There are no bullies in the SEC. Just a strong conference that treats the biggest and smallest equally... including revenue. Kansas? We just lost an easy win. It is the Jayhawks loss if they want to be babies. K State is the grown up in Kansas. I have no problem with your school. You were eating the same scraps the rest of us were.04-cheers

You must have not yet mastered the IGNORE option, as you answer every post on this board. No T shirt fans here. You will see that soon.

I would say you are wrong.
Colorado always wanted to be in the PAC. The Texoma 4 rumors to the PAC made their mind up. UT didn't have anything to do with that.

Mizzou wanted the Big 10 and got scared when they almost got left in the Big East during PAC realignment discussions. Texas had nothing to do with that.

Nebraska had nowhere to go but the Big 10 and they wouldn't let them have the partial qualifiers that Nebraska prospered with. They may have been bothered by UT but that was because they became mediocre once they couldn't admit partials anymore. They are killing it in the Big 10. LOL

That's quite the apologetic argument for Texas. Deloss Dodds would be proud.

If I'm not mistaken, Alabama and Texas have scheduled a Home/Home. I hope you get to experience our great state and not judge it on your visit to Austin or college station.

I've already been to College Station. It was a very nice place. I've traveled through TX a good bit actually.

But what does any of that have to do with pretending UT doesn't bare any blame for multiple schools leaving the Big 12?

I had lunch this afternoon in college station and there is literally nothing to do. Everyone goes to Houston, Austin or Dallas for fun. college station is your typical college town where everything revolves around the University. Basically the same thing in Lubbock only a few hours further.

I prefer Lubbock over college station, waco, Ft. Worth or Austin. That's my preference and I'm sure I'll get blasted for that opinion.

RE: Super secret meeting between Texas and Texas A&M
You are an objective poster whose opinion can definitely be trusted to be bias free and are not here purely to push an anti-A&M agenda due to your pitiful obsession with us and red headed step child complex over how your school doesn’t control its own destiny because no P4 conference wants it as a stand-alone member

I hope most of us are graduates of the school we represent. I'll let you figure out who the t-shirt fan is. Make no mistake, the ignore feature is working out very well.

I'm ready for the NCAA tourney to get underway. Tech got a #3 seed in Tulsa which is highest seeded team in the Big 12.

No invites for college station or TCU
