Re: CFP selection show

How much did it cost to get into the "big" Conference whose unbeaten 13=0 champion gets beat out by two one loss teams. Guess the ACC isn't "big" enough.

Re: How was Crowd vs. PV A&M?

Crowd looked great around the stadium.
PVAM band's performance was fantastic.

Sadly, their attitudes and character after the game, ruined my view of them. My 11yr old and I stayed, high-fived both teams, listened to the band play until they were done.

As we were walking out the gates towards Doak ...

Re: TCU / Baylor Message Boards about SMU to ACC

I think scared is more like it. Waco, Ft. Worth, Ames, Stillwater, anywhere in Kansas, Ames are not desirable locations to either visit or attend school. Give me Dallas, Raleigh, Tallahassee, Miami, Northeast etc. any day! I cannot wait to see how this impacts (+) our recruiting and devastates our ...

Re: TCU "pausing" series with SMU -- 2025 last game on sched

OK, so SMU recruited Jordan Hudson away from TCU. So what? The recruiting issue is just a big red herring. TCU's AD seems to have been honest the other day when he said dropping SMU from the schedule was a way to schedule more home games $$$. Also an easier path to the playoff. Recruiting has ...

Been away from Dallas too long to be qualified to post on this topic, but years ago I remember favoring the original Ojeda's on Maple and also frequented Tupinamba's on NW HWY across from Bachman lake for lunch with a couple of guys I worked with in those days. It was just o.k. but an Aggie buddy I ...

Re: PAC12 Scenario = Expansion

USC was originally a Methodist school as well. Others have pointed this out here.

The politicization of religion within the last 50 years has had the effect of driving academia (and others) to a ground of rejection of all things of faith. While UCLA and USC are on an exit strategy, I doubt ...
