    Danny Mac's Mean Green

    Not so much... Chico was Dodges OC and took over after they fired him mid-season and was retained by Mac. Mac never missed games due to his stroke. That happened in the offseason. That said, I love Chico, but the offense never really has been the issue. What is making this UNT team is an...

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    Disagree just because the nightmare that 14 has on scheduling. That is the problem the SEC is finding out.. the plan is 12 or 16, 14 would just be a momentary stopgap

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    UVA is probably a solid add.. nothing flashy, but not the end of the world anyways. The only way we are going to 16 is with ND anyways, so adding UVA would strengthen that cluster, add a fast growing state and give another boost in the arm to the academic side. I would prefer to add VT, but...

    Big 12 / SEC Championship Game

    The best way to explain why this is a HUGE deal is a matter of simple economics... The Rosebowl, the closest competitor to this recieves 30M annually in TV revenue.. That is then siphoned through whoever is running the Rosebowl and then you get the substantially lesser payout to the teams...

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    I hate to say it, but there will not ever be a N/S alignment again.. I would almost go as far and guarantee that OU and UT will never be on the same side of the conference again if they go to 12. The weak North is one of the reasons why the old Big 12 blew up. No one wanted to watch the North...

    Don't mess with Texas

    Looks like ESPN OTL is at it again.. Saw the headline "Despite concern, Texas paid service" and thought ohh wow.. some good dirt in here... Needless to say, it is nothing like what the title makes it sounds like... 1. Texas used the same scouting service that Lyles used to work at. 2. Lyles...

    Broyles (OU) Out

    After the trainers told him what they found he started crying.. Think he blew a ligament and is done for the season... Killer for him coming back to OU instead of going to the draft.

    Rising Stars At QB BIG 12 BLOG

    If it is about who will have the best numbers next year... always pick the kid from TT. IF I had to pick who next year is going to be the best overall QB, I might have to take Ash just from his the viewpoint that he is a FR that is getting reps in what is going to be a very run heavy O that...

    The WV lawsuits

    I wonder if anyone can get "Exhibit A" from the BE v WVU lawsuit... It is the BE amended bylaws in all of their screwed up twisted beauty..

    Defensive Holding = Automatic 1st Down??

    PF are not always at the end of the play, they just normally are the result of action after the play. Defensive holding in college is is a first down on passing downs, but not on running plays if I remember correctly. I might need to find my NCAA rulebook pdf if no one has a concrete answer.

    Take away the penalties/turnovers and we outplayed UT

    At one point UT was playing with 9 Fr, 1 Soph, and 1 Jr out there. Those where the times that ISU where playing with them or even pulling away. Throwing out platitudes for this game just makes it seem like you are making an excuse for the team. There is no excuse. They lost. UT won, move on...
