Lol. You have to admit my pods/scenario fit quite well. Relax < 70% of our games will still be in texas. The road games would be at gorgeous destinations.
What exactly is your proposal of the pods? 2 divisions and 4 total 4-team pods?
USC/UCLA/Stanford/???
Oregon/Oregon St/Washington/Wazzu
Colo/Utah/Arizona/ASU
Texas/Texas Tech/TCU/Baylor
There's no way Texas and Oklahoma would be broken up. TCU and Baylor probably get dropped again in favor of OU and Ok St.
Here are a couple of things - Shipley's Donuts instead of Dunkin Donuts and Whataburger > In-N-Out. I'm sure that more can be added to the list.
Hell guys...I was just thinking about the coffee....I could have even mentioned McDonalds which has damned good coffee. Besides...I was Spudnuts man myself...
MM props to you!...I ought to have my ass whipped for not having Whatburger over In n Out at the top of my list.

Can not believe Whataburger wasn't at the top of your list. Smh
Pod 1 West ~ USC, UCLA, STAN, CAL
Pod 2 West ~ Wash, Wash St., Oreg, Or St.
Pod 1 East ~ Tex, Tex Tech, Bay, TCU
Pod 2 East ~ Ariz, Ar St., Colo, Utah
I don't think the Texas teams split up. We will need friends, yes?
Ou & Osu B1G west division which completes the B1G @ 16 teams.
SEC needs 2 more ~ Kansas & K St. to go with Mizzou? for 16 teams
ACC adds W. Virginia for 16 teams
Winner of each division goes to the playoff.
With this scenario we could play OU and A&M without worry of a beauty pageant because the div champ goes automatically.
Oldhorn I will someday but you a few beers. You are a wise man and our alignment is really, really good. And that’s really really hard to achieve.
If he sticks with you guys, you'll hear we backed off. It won't be true, but you'll hear it. If he flips, the same will happen. Politicians, attorneys, boxing judges and recruiting analysts don't keep their jobs if they are honest.
I disagree. I see this dishonesty mostly from aggys. We can admit when we lose a recruit.
The best thing that could happen for Texas this weekend is for A&M to get destroyed by Alabama while we are at least competitive with TCU. Take that back...the BEST thing would be for us to beat TCU. However, in my book, merely playing competitive and even if we lose if it looks like a good game and we lose by less than 7, that'll be a monumental step forward.
F moral victories. We either win or lose.
This. We are not aggy.
to quote Yoda....."Do or do not....there is no try"
We either win this game or lose it...no such thing as almost winning. I believe we can win it and will be very pissed with anything less.
come on Horns...lets make ole "fatty Patty" really sweat

TBF, he wasn't talking moral victories. He was simply saying us being competitive while aggy gets trashed would be a positive in the eyes of the recruits. Which of course is true.
Still, I f*cking hate that dirty arrogant prick Art Viles Jr, and can't stand losing to him. So until he gets busted like his partner in crime did, beating his crooked ass is the only satisfactory option. Puck Fatterson.

I want to win them all as much as anybody. But we've got to be good before we can be great. 5-7 is a long way from 14-0. Last year we made it to 7-6, but we still have to build steps upon steps. With how TCU has thrashed us the past several years, playing well and playing them close would be a gigantic improvement for this program.
Tyler Owens, who I think is one of our Silents, is now a 4*
There are lots of examples of bad teams that became great over a 2 season span. 2000 Oklahoma went from 8-5 in 1999 to 2000 national champs. 2001 tOSU to 2002 tOSU National champs. USC 2002 to 2003 AP national Champs. There are a few other examples, but you get the idea. In every one of those exampels was a elite coaching staff.
And if I could give you 5* for this reply I would thumbs ☝
I've been meaning to address this. There is no way the Pac 12 breaks up. They might put the dagger into the Big 12 by adding 4 Big 12 schools, but it won't go the other way around. A much more likely scenerio would be when the next round of conference alignments takes place you will see maybe a couple of SEC schools break away and go with Texas to form a new conference. What I think will happen is Texas will lose the LHN and you will see Arkansas and LSU maybe jump from the SEC to a new Conference with Oklahoma, Texas OSU, TCU Kansas, Rice, (not Houston) Nebraska, Tech, and Colorado.
It is a much more likely scenerio than breaking up the PAC. I Nebraska is seeing that they just aren't ever going to be competitive in the B1G as they have no natural recruiting base and would like to get back into Texas. I think LSU and Arkansas would like more exposure in Texas and a little separation from Bama.
The SEC network makes good money, but so would a conference network with Texas, Oklahoma, LSU and a rejuvenated Arkansas. and Nebraska. Money would not be an issue, and that conference would be every bit as tough as the SEC.
Now if Texas decided to join the PAC, along with Oklahoma, OSU and Kansas would be a good conference, but there is a lot of political crap to deal with in dealing with Cal and Stanford. I just don't see it being successful I would much rather Texas join the SEC or B1G at this point.
TBH, I don't see a scenario where nebraska, arkansas and Colorado ever get back in bed with us. Too much butthurt still
I make 1 reply about UT being a hot bed for lineman. And just because UT is a Pac XII state this thread gets hijacked into TX joining the Pac XII.
Time for a reality check. We're making progress no doubt. But the TX Longhorns are still down. We just a broke a 4 game losing streak against the Pac XII for goodness sake. We lost back to back to MD. The point is we might actually do worse. If we joined one of the other conferences. Let's try to get this thread back t where it should be and that's recruiting.
And I laugh at this joining one of the conferences threads. We should only be concerned about getting back to where we belong.

Texas being up, Texas being down, doesn't matter, Texas is still Texas and they still bring the TV sets No matter where Texas goes, when they are on the road, that game is going to be sold out. This is the appeal to Texas moving into any conference they want.
#17 in the class, S Tyler Owens. Another plus athlete at safety.

We are pretty stack at S but we need some top notch corners. Davis and Boyd will be gone and I do not like Boyce. Cook is a beast though
Don’t forget about highly ranked CB Jalen Green redshirting currently. Also, D’Shawn Jamison can always switch back to CB if needed.
Exactly. people seem to be forgetting Jalen. Don't take him redshirting as a slight of his talent. We just have the luxury of being able to RS him this year.
i really want to see some oline start commiting. were going to have nothing but 7 on 7 players at this rate
Nice. Not sure if it was intentional or his middle name begins with a k, but I like his handle already. TKOwens, sounds like a headhunter to me!
The PAC has the worst TV deal and the rank and file hate Larry Scott's complete failure as a leader. The fans are ready to jump to the Big 12. Take the four California schools and throw Baylor out and take one to three more.
