Ya the problem is people are looking for reasons. There's a difference between reciting that. And saying directly to a black or any color individual (this is not a race thing) "You're my slave, and I'm your master". Then? Absolutely
The idea that we've had such a dumbing down in the generations that people can no longer reason the difference there on their own without getting offended or canceling a syrup is just disturbing
Over a bible verse? It really does go to show how ridiculously easy it is to offend anyone with anything these days
@Texas-Hawk-10 atleast we can agree there is usually something about TV involved. And TV means $$. I may be wrong as I often am. But I actually believe 90 plus percent of realignment is $$ involved and thus TV involved
@dylans dammit man.... 🤣
@kjayhawks agreed on Bobby. I just can't find an upside. I don't wanna be down on a kid but I have to say I honestly cringe when he checks in. I wouldnt call Joe great, but atleast serviceable for stretches. Even tho I think he shoots too much
Jesus. Worked today so didn't catch any of this game. Looks like we decided to suck greasy camel taint today. That's probably gonna make it near impossible to get the overall number 1. But that may be okay if they intend to ever play like that in the dance we probably don't need the embarrassment of that
@dylans I think you're correct to worry about that to an extent. Cause that's exactly what they're doing. One could argue they don't have a lot of choice tho in this landscape. The UCF deal bugs me a lil.. the others I think will actually be good for the conference and the new contract.
Viewership wise we may have preferred to stay at the remaining 8. Maybe even from a competitive standpoint. But I think that puts you on your deathbed as a conference. Quality should be over quantity but I'm not sure that it is in this case. If the PAC gets robbed again and I actually hope it does(by the Big 12). They will be all but extinct imo.
It will certainly diminish the league or water it down from a competitive and rivalry standpoint in the short term. But I do think in time those schools elevate. Competition elevates as will the fan based and the market footprint is still a good enough one to create a very good contract which is really what I think all the conferences are shooting for.
Again look at the 4 Texas schools that originally came in. Obviously with A&M having come and gone to greener pastures. Not saying it will be overnite. But I mean TCU just played for a national championship. TTU played for one, Baylor won one. I don't think anyone of those happen in this era of college sports if those respective schools are still in their prior conference
The realignment jazz has never been about power and prestige imo. It's always been about media markets. We win that battle with this one. Losing OKC and Austin, gaining Houston, Cincinnati, Salt lake and much of Utah, and parts of Florida.
We'll be fine. I think it's a NET gain in the longer term. Coming to this league will elevate those schools as well. Imo it definitely did for Baylor, TCU, TTU.
My next move would be to try to get Arizona, Arizona State, New Mexico, and Colorado back.
Guarantee the B1G didn't go get UCLA and USC for power and prestige. The got one of the largest TV markets in the nation with that move.
@dylans Im sure youre right about that. It's just how it looked that day. Although to be fair, I was a long damn ways away in a nosebleed seat so that could be some of the issue with my vision on that. 🤣
Outright champs. Quite an accomplishment. Now let's send UT to the SEC with a beating they won't soon disremember
@dylans with Joel we're National Champs. But could have went further if anyone outside of Frankamp and Black seemed to care about being there imo
Mental health issues. It's probably best for him to focus on that instead of basketball atm
I think if we can get 25 min in any game vs anybody in the nation of the defense we had second vs Baylor? We beat anyone by double digits. That said... It may be too much to ask. Idk
This is terrific commentary so far and all I will add is this...
With the field as wide open as it seems(No ridiculously dominant team). Why not KU for it all guys?
JWil...
Speeches upcoming. Cryin time again....
@BShark nice!
We blow out UT on Saturday. You heard it hear first folks
@wissox might be right. It's up to the league imo to prove that tho
I hope we don't play anyone good in the first 6 games of the tournament
Mite guard them here....
Ah hell
Watch we blow UT out of their own gym hard
Told ya guys these two home games would be close... But you're a bunch of cowboys... Lol. Jk
@jessejayhawk so far today, not enough evidence to convict
The lovers Dick?
Oh... Could be a Dick sighting
I figure we dick around(pun intended tonite) and stretch this to 8-10 at the finish.
@jessejayhawk know thyself. Lol
I'm a dumbass that looks like a dumbass
You can't do that
I'm about ready for our crowd to chant "you suck Dick" so he will get mad and play better
@kjayhawks it was that day too!!! Lol
@BShark Hahahah. @kjayhawks "what are you, drunk?"
Time for Dick to show his game. He can't settle for this handprint can he?
FFS
@Crimsonorblue22 opening the playbook for a long stretch attempt
@approxinfinity Gradey? Ya for sure. But to my point the pressure part of the year is only beginning. I think he usually eats it up tho, so hopefully we'll see that
Coach not happy with him there... Yikes
@approxinfinity damn. Did I really convey that? Certainly don't expect perfection. What I love most about this game is nobody has ever played a perfect one
We're gonna need GD to be a pressure player. It's imperative. Come on kid
GD. G...D...
@wissox that would make me look quite talented. Phone in one hand , poker in the other. Right? Lol
@wissox I'm definitely not that. But his "conference of champions" rhetoric makes me wanna stab my ears with a hot fireplace poker
@wissox I'll literally mute it. If I never hear Walton again it'll be too soon
Id take Fran over a barrel in an alley and paddle his ass. That's about all I'd take him over
It's not Fran, Vitale, or Walton so it's gotta be decent
Juan might say he's Juan to be reckoned with
Number Jaun?
@FarmerJayhawk ha. Don't blame ya
@FarmerJayhawk we had that game. Cough TCU
