  1.   They built a new stadium and on Saturdays it's empty. That's the biggest reason a Big % conference will never come courting. When UH played in the Dome, it was empty.    UH is a commuter school and the majority of their student population is not interested in athletics.   So they can start all the petitions and campaigns they want to get into the Big XII, but the Big XII will die on the vine before that happens.
  2.   All of those factors could not keep Briles and Sumlin at UH. It's still a Stepping Stones Academy. 
  3. Imagine if K Sum had any rules or regulations. On a side note, Kyler has had a marginal baseball season. Sounds like he has been nursing an injury. You guys will probably get him on campus now. Better alert Adidas to ship some youth sized equipment.
  4. Probably not on my Twitter feed. Another productive offseason in aggieland.
  5. Looks like another one afraid of the competition.   "Texas A&M WR Laquvionte Gonzalez. Loved watching him when he was at Cedar Hill. Interested to see where he'll land". [Hidden Content]�
  6. Baseball America has LSU #1 and aTm #2.
  7. What was that word again...Oh yea, entitlement.   These charges will "disappear" faster than a cake at a fat farm.
  8. I have not seen it, but supposedly there is one that shows the entire incident. The ESPN lady does not come off quite as bad.
  9. Texas won! Time to hang another banner.
  10.   2nd class brand for 2nd class programs.
  11.   F--K that team to the north. Classy move Adidas.
  12. It's a D1 problem. I have been around both D1 and D2 baseball players and programs. It's night and day.   Emporia St. (D2): No plane rides, no pregame meals, no free gloves, not much of anything is free. The team voted on a pair of flats or a pair of cleats (thanks Adidas) and chose flats. Parents riased money so the team could eat after away games. Parents take turns providing "snacks" for in between Saturday double headers (every Saturday).  Team won the MIAA Conference Tournament and the team received a plastic banner.   Houston (D1): Charter Bus/Plane to all Away games. New glove every season (one for each position you may play), batting gloves upon request, personal bat, Nike spikes-flats-shower shoes, 4 practice uniforms, Travel warm-ups, catered pre-game meal before games at home and on the road, energy food provided in the dugout and locker room during games. 4 games a week, no double headers. Team won the AAC Conference Tournament and each player received a ring.    So yes, D1 players feel entitled. 
  13.   You can download via "More Reply Options" or "copy and paste".   Most of the ones I try to download are too big. Copy and Paste works best assuming the image is not protected.
  14. Something about this title makes me uncomfortable:
