NCAA Football '11-'12

Rice, Baylor.  Who cares.  THATS NOT THE POINT MAN

  Speaking of the LHN and Rice.  Last night, they showed the 1994 game:  The last time Rice beat Texas.  What a great game to watch!  Thanks guys!

19-16 score and John Mackovic standing on the sidelines with that dumb fucking look on his face?  Perfect classic game.

Oh shit.  Fucking awesome!

Final five UTSA home games slated for Longhorn Network
Posted on 09/02/2011 by Dan McCarney

UPDATE: A second source told the Express-News the deal was "absolutely true," and is slated for at least three years. No information available yet on the financial parameters.

UTSA has reached an agreement to broadcast its final five home football games on the Longhorn Network, a source has told the Express-News. Details to follow.

The Roadrunners play host to McMurry on Sept. 10; Bacone College on Sept. 24; South Alabama on Oct. 8; Georgia State on Oct. 29; and Minot State on Nov. 12. They play their inaugural game tommorrow at the Alamodome against Northeastern State at 1 p.m.

Haha and Baylor just scored again.

Baylor's cutting it loose all over Sammy Baugh's Bitches.  That kid Robert Griffin III is dropping Hiroshimas.  15-18, 281 yards, 4 TDs.  And it's only the 3rd quarter.

Make that 5.  Baylor's going all PlayStation on these guys.  I love it.

Y'all collectively bitch about Boise State...well, TCU's my Boise State.  Overrated non-secularists.

No love for the toads, eh?

Wait you have the LHN?  *jealous*

[Valmy]

Oh Valmy, Grande picked up the LHN.  You have that?  Some dudes on the Shag are saying channel 839 is LHN HD now if so.

Edit:  Also, the second football game is Kansas - Texas on 29 Oct.

Nah TWC over here.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Wait you have the LHN?  *jealous*

Naw, there was a high quality Justin.tv stream last night from at least 10pm (when I started watching) until after 3am (when I stopped because I'm not going to watch that game again).  I was going to send you the link this morning, but the stream was gone.

You have it right now though if you have Grande.  Ah TWC?  Sucks.  I have DirecTV, which probably won't be getting it until the renegotiation in December.

Death to the Big 12! Kill it with Fire!

Bring on the Super-conferences! Down with tradition! Bring on the playoffs!

Oklahoma debating conference options

NORMAN, Okla. -- University of Oklahoma president David Boren says multiple conferences have shown interest in the Sooners recently and he expects to decide whether to leave the Big 12 or not within the next three weeks.

Boren said Friday that Oklahoma is seeking stability in its conference relationship with "partners that are both outstanding athletically and academically as well because a conference that's strong is not only stable but it's one in which there are multiple relationships, along with sports, between the university members."

He said he tried to prevent Texas A&M from leaving the Big 12 and was disappointed the Aggies announced this week they would seek to join another conference -- most likely the SEC -- by next July.

"Of course, we have some great partners in the existing Big 12. We have interest from other conferences and other universities, so it's really a tribute to the strength of our program at the University of Oklahoma that there is so much interest in us," Boren said.

"So, we have to carefully evaluate the various comments that are being made to us and the various possibilities that are being shown to us before we decide what's best for the university to do."

Athletic director Joe Castiglione, who attended a ceremony with Boren to celebrate a $10 million donation toward a campus dormitory, said he was "not here to answer any of those kind of questions." Castiglione has not commented publicly on Texas A&M's departure from the league, nor on Oklahoma's future plans.

Boren said he and Castiglione have been heavily involved in talks about the future of the Sooners and the Big 12.

Oklahoma was offered chances to join both the Pac-10 and the SEC last year but decided to stick with the Big 12, even as Nebraska left to join the Big Ten and Colorado joined the Pac-10. A&M's departure would drop the league that once had 12 teams down to nine members.

"I don't think there's anything that has to be, at all, and everything doesn't have to be done today. I mean, there's nothing that says the conference will collapse at nine," Boren said. "We have a full season to play and we'll have to go through.

"Obviously, I think if we could eventually -- and that doesn't mean in one year, maybe it's going to take two or three years -- if we were to eventually get back to 12, I would feel better about it."

Boren said the bottom line is "I don't think OU is going to be a wallflower when all is said and done."

"I don't know how long it will be before clarity comes to us. My experience is that on these kinds of things, it might be a matter of 72 hours, it might be a matter of two weeks. I don't really think this is something that is going to linger on beyond two or three weeks at the outside," Boren said.

"It's been consuming my life the last few days, but it's a fascinating challenge and we're just in the search for what's best for the university."

Boren confirmed that he flew to Missouri, whose chancellor is the chairman of the Big 12 board of directors, and then to College Station last week to try to prevent the Aggies from leaving. He said he's disappointed that he thought the Sooners had conference stability and instead face the same challenge as last summer.

"We don't know what's going to happen. Some things are trends beyond the control of any one university," Boren said. "Is there going to be a continued trend toward consolidation? Are we going to see conferences that are now 12 ... move to 16? Is that going to happen? Maybe that's not going to happen.

"You've seen both. You've seen a tendency toward consolidation and then you've seen some pushback in the very largest conferences from schools that say, 'Not too big.' We're trying to sort all that out. At this point in time, I'm being very honest with you, I do not know with certainty or perhaps even can't hazard a totally intelligent guess as to what our final decision will be. But we are carefully looking over all of the options. There is no school in the Big 12 more active than we are right now."

Christ on a crutch, Baylor's imploding before the nation.

[MadBurgerMaker]

That last play was classic Greg Davis.  UNBLOCKED SCREEN ON 3RD AND LONG WOOOO!

Y'all collectively bitch about Boise State...well, TCU's my Boise State.  Overrated non-secularists.

Isn't Baylor a religious school as well?

The day before The Day.  Gotta love it. 

I really don't want to watch Oregon get slapped around by another SEC team.

I am more excited about Michigan football this year than in many years past.  Gotta love David Molk, one of the captains, whose goal was to get through all his press interviews without saying f*ck even once (a goal he had not met as a starter the last three years).  So far, so good.  This really is a lovable bunch of players.  Denard Robinson got a letter from a NYC 4th grader asking him (part of a school assignment) what it meant to be a leader, and he sent back a letter with a picture:

(Name removed),

Thank you for your letter and for asking me about how to be a leader. First of all, you need to believe in yourself and never just follow people. Always do what you think is right no matter what anyone else does or thinks.

Don't forget to ask people for help and thank those who help you. Don't be afraid to work hard, follow directions, and follow your dreams!

Good Luck and Go Blue!

Denard

I want this team to do well for their sakes, not mine.  It is so terrific to have a coach and team that feels that they will be failures if they don't win the Big Ten, after three years of a coach that just wanted to make things better someday.  RichRod never talked about conference championships or beating OSU except as objectives for some future team.  This Michigan team thinks they can do both this year, and I think they will go 8-4 but that Ohio will be among the 8.

TCU lost a lot of talent to the NFL this year, I don't think they were expected to stay at the same level.
