You just can't beat Texas and get away with it.

Blame Canada, err, Texas. UTexas, I mean.


Careful, you are going to draw the wrath of certain persons.

This is a message board. I didn't put it into the movie... I mean, just the facts, but I didn't go beyond it.

Thad, you should do a hidden camera expose on UT athletes receiving freebies from boosters all over Austin. It would be the easiest project you could imagine. There isn't a journalist within 100 miles of here ( I live in The People's Republic) with the nerve to touch that story. The territory for such a project is wide open.

I think we could just ask for people's phone camera shots and we'd have the whole movie within a week.

Me neither.

But I've had some good times with [one of his] daugher['s] out at parties/out on the town in the ATX.

(Mind you, nothing salacious... and no illicit substances. Just good times.)

You know the NCAA was investigating the NCAA for anti-trust violations, why dont the search UT running its conference and claim that it has an independent director... If UT was a person I punch him in the face

I think every one of us hopes that TCU's first season in the Bevo 12 goes just as well as Utah's has in the Pac-12.

From DMN article:
"We have stuck our neck out to save the Big 12, and we're not a bully," Dodds told Harry Plumer of The Missourian on Thursday. "We didn't cause it. Our goal has been, and continues to be, to keep something together for the Big 12 and that's what we're going to do, good Lord willing."

Thad, Do you think it was a coincidence that Charles Wright, the head of the NCAA's infractions committee at the time, drove an ORANGE Cadillac? I'm sure he could have cared less about that loss! :roll:

wow, i knew UT had major influence but i didn't know they had the chairmanship of the infractions committee at the time. So they controlled Belo and the NCAA infraction committee, not a good recipe for SMU. Throw in Clements as governor and a political reputation to protect and it was some perfect storm, or imperfect storm for us.
