A: While I don't think Brown sucks the big one, I don't think he's a great coach. Masterful recruiter..yes. Awesome coach? No. He's been complimented by outstanding Def. Coordinators and has had some great talent walk into DKR but his inabilities to get past OU and once past OU not choke to AnM or any other Big 12 team and his poor clock management always come back to bite us in the ass. Look at the Tech game for the proof on the latter. Like I said, I'm as proud of the Big 12 as the next person is of their conference, but lets face facts... the power of our conference is in the South and until it either gets re-destributed or the North climbs back into prominence, winning the Big 12 isn't that huge a measuring stick of how great of a coach you are. Again, as far as OU goes.. get past Texas and its almost certain you're going to the title game and nearly just as certain you'll win the conference. B: I will enjoy rooting on the Longhorns in the Fiesta Bowl and knocking off Mr. Sweater-Vest in Phoenix whilst I sit along side my friend who's a huge tOSU fan and sing "Texas Fight" all night. I can only hope recent bowl game mishaps don't crop back up and cause the city of Norman to implode. VX: I'm not too pissed we got left out...again, if we had handled our business we'd be playing Florida. The only complaints come from a BS tie-break rule. (Yes Dama... I know that crazy ol' Mack Brown agreed to it...) I'm happy we're goin to the Fiesta Bowl and only upset that we couldn't play a team like Boise or Utah who again, I think deserve the bid more than tOSU.

God I'm so fucking glad I worked all day today and didn't have to deal with Dama-mania running wild on the boards. Bro, OU is being "doubted" against Florida because they're fucking Florida and have been a solid team all year with a QB who could potentially be the first in a long while to win back to back Heisman's. A prolific offense and a coach that's about as big a douche as Stoops is and wouldn't mind running up the score for all to see that the SEC is better than the Big 12. The "OH EM GEE! Mack voted his team numbah one!!!~!11" shit is laughable..I like how you don't mention how Tech and a few others voted them down at 5th. The "6 Big 12 Titles and One Nat'l Title" ... wow Dama, for the most part its beat Texas and you're going to the Big 12 game to destroy some sorry ass Big 12 North team..I love my conference as much as the next guy, but mopping up a Mizzou a K-State or Nebraska or even Colorado isn't going to instill much respect into your team from the national media...and that whole "well, they tend to not play well when picked to win" is a damning point to Stoops in that he can't get his team up for every game and thus isn't the second coming of Jesus walking the America's that everyone in Norman wants to believe. As far as where we ended up? I'm happy with a Fiesta Bowl birth and a shot at Ohio State. Graned, I'd love to have seen Utah or Boise in there because I personally believe they deserve it more than Ohio State but hey..too big-time programs in a marquee bowl. I have no clue why we'd be deflated when we went into last night knowing we'd need OU to pull a choke job and thus didn't get our hopes up too high. We just now get to look forward to Jesus Christ Superstar himself walking down to the stadium from his place at God's right hand to vanquish the vile land-squatters and bring about glory to those that believe in Tebow. Oh..lastly... fuck Notre Dame. I can only hope Hawaii either crushes the golden domers or the islander's get pissy and the warrior's start another Hawaii Bowl beat-down.

...and as soon as I post that, fuckin Walter fumbles the ball at the 2. Way to go guys...

...pretty dead for an NFL thread. Texans up 7-0 over Green Bay right now with Houston inside the GB 20..

A: How the fuck do you not give these guys a fuck load of footballs for this? Its the second time in the day that someone rant out of footballs and it cost them the contest. B: Who the fuck is that robotic sounding motherfucker MCing that thing?

30 fuckin dollars? Where the fuck are you going that charges that and are they being considerate enough to give you lube as well? I mean damn! The Buffalo Wild Wings I hit up every now and then only charges either a $5 cover or tacks on a 10 - 20% grat on the check.

I'd actually be down with that.

UCLA will fold..I've tried watching but...fuck, UCLA's QB seems to rather want to run the ball on 3rd and long than pass it and try to get his team back into the game.

that was such a poorly put together Dr. Pepper Throw-Off..even the crowd was booing..

From what I've read, Shawn works a very reduced house show schedule. I only remember because there was something mentioned on one of the "sites" about WWE having internal talks about getting Kurt back into the WWE and putting him on a schedule a lot like Shawn's..

wait... what?!?

Fuck, wish I had a car CV, we pennied out the SMT P3 strat guides today and I wound up taking one home still in the shrink wrap. I grabbed it cause I hate it when we throw shit out and figured I could give it to some one or just look thru for the art

Remember! If Yan can cook... you can too!

Dama, stop it. Seriously. Tech getting thrown out is because of how fucking stupid the Big 12 rule was and in showing that despite it being a 3 way tie, the only two reasonable teams to discuss were both OU and Texas due to Tech's drop in the rankings. Sorry Dama but OU beating Tech isn't the huge thing you think it is because Tech's always been like, the Groom's friend that isn't awesome enough to be best man...but like, he's been a friend long enough that you've gotta like, invite him anway or he gets all pissy and shows up drunk and ruins things. Everyone figured Tech would drop a game after beating Texas (and hell, there were enough thinking they wouldn't win that game anyway) and were simply waiting for the shoe to drop. Well it did...and it dropped hard. Tech got exposed and while OU did demolish them, they hurt their own standings because of how easy they wrecked 'em. Make no sense? Partially, but had OU won a close game..it would've validated Tech's ranking and climb up the Big 12 this year and make it look like a bigger win for OU instead of everyone writing Tech off once more and OU simply validating what everyone already knew. So as mentioned above, you then look to OU and Texas as to who deserves the spot and while yes.. in the large scheme of the 3-way race and OU playing some good ball after losing to Texas, it remained they lost to Texas and when comparing just those two teams, its fair to put Texas ahead. ...and as far as this "Oh..well .. Texas and Mack Brown agreed to this..and Mack's just bitching and politicking.." shut it. Stoops would've done the same fucking thing if not worse if he was having to watch Texas play the Big 12 title game based on some bullshit ruling. *ahem* Oh, and Rutger's killed Louisville. Here's to Notre Dame simply accepting the bid to the Texas Bowl and giving me a chance to see my first ND game.

So uhm..lets go Rutgers!

Figured I'd put it here, since it pertains to the MEM / TNA FL fued..if not, someone can merge it into CWDWAT source: Lords of Pain via Wrestling Observer Newsletter -- Former WCW wrestler Masahiro Chono, 45, said he wants to team up with Kevin Nash at New Japan Pro Wrestling's annual Tokyo Dome show next month. He also said he wants to join TNA to be a member of the Main Event Mafia. Chono was a member of the "nWo Japan" faction during the group's glory days.

Hey, Rice has a pretty solid team. I could see it being an all-out offensive show but it'll more than likely be some low scoring affair and bore the hell out of me if I'm able to score tickets to it. ..ugh, fucker's already sold 50k in advance on it just being Rice alone..

So in local news... Rice has accepted the bid to the Texas Bowl and while the Big 12 does have a commitment to the bowl, there's been talk on local sports news that Notre Dame might come down and play. To say I'm stoked is an understatement. Yes, I've been a Houstonian my entire life..but I grew up watching the ND game on NBC every Saturday and am more of a fan of them than Rice..

Fuck you Dama. That is all.

They need to fix the Elim. Chamber...not being able to throw anyone into the corner is kind of bullshit..

It was a little bit of both, Slayer. Tech was happy for the chance to go out to a good bowl game and Cal was bemoaning about how badly they got screwed over. As far as Mack's talking..I uh..well, he was sticking up for his team and I respect that. I can see the hatred for it but..yeah, won't say it was sleazy.

Brown's politicking: Dama, ESPN gave Stoops the chance to chime in during Texas / AnM ..he chose not to. Discounting Tech / Tie-breaks: The moment Tech lost to OU and dropped as far as they did in the rankings, they were taken out of the talk. Add to it nearly choking against Baylor and others and there's no reason to keep them in the loop. Also, SEC (I believe) would've dropped Tech as the lowest BCS ranked team then reverted back to H2H in which Texas would've beaten out OU. Texas in the MNC: We need Mizzou to show up for a game they should've showed up for last year and for voters to not get gun-shy about putting a team that didn't win its conference into the title game. As it stands, we're going to get the Fiesta or Sugar Bowl...fuck, least its not back to the Holiday Bowl. Penguin: Dude, who the fuck are you? Like, all I've seen you do is start shit and argue for the sake of arguing. Any real "arguing" between say Dama and I is long-standing OU/Texas hatred and Slayer well..he's from Kansas and has to deal with trying to not fall into that fat fuck's orbital space which could be quite a hassle on some days.

Ugh, I've got to head to work and won't be home until close to 9pm. I can only hope I can check these boards and see Dama's ranting and hatred for Texas to know that the Horns are goin to the Big 12 title game...

The main problem-posting thread was locked.. On all of the thread's I view I'm getting no option for fast reply, but when someone's quoted a response the fast reply button is within the quoted text. Also, where the quote reply buttons should be, one's missing but you can still click on the link that seems to be there which is represented by tiny little blue boxes.

..as far as ESPN trying to sway people for Texas, I'm torn. One hand, its great because its a form of validation to finally have ESPN pull for us and talk about how we deserve to get the nod.. ..on the other, its fucking ESPN deciding that now is the time to jump on the bandwagon and blow UT and shove them down the Nation's throat. The fans? Meh..its college football..fans getting involved and lobbying for their team is awesome.
