That was one of the greatest football games I ever watched.
Article just came out saying PAC 12 looking for a loose merger with ACC or Big 12.. shared media contract with separate leagues, playoff at end, inter league play.

We are having a lot more fun this year than we were last year at this time are we not?
I know this is a Cyclone forum but I just had an enlightening conversation with a hard-core Longhorn fan. Lives in Dallas but didn't go to UT although he is a college graduate and very smart.
Now that Texas is no longer part of the lowly Big XII he believes that Texas will be playing for the national football championship in 5 years. I asked why haven't they been in the conversation for the past 10 years and he said because they didn't have the "talent," and that it's easier to get to the national championship being a one loss team in the SEC than a one loss team in the Big XII.
He claims they'll have the talent now because they will be in the SEC...and I said, "so will everyone else, including Texas A and M." I got his attention for a split second on that one.
Finally, he compared the arrival of Manning with the exploits of Vince Young, who of course, took them to the national championship.
Admittedly this all may be obvious to most everyone on the forum, but I've never really talked to a Texas fan about this stuff. It was just interesting, that's all. I apologize if I wasted your time reading this.
I stand by my opening sentence though. At least I'm having fun this year no matter what happens. Last year was awful.
Magical thinking is a hell of a drug.We are having a lot more fun this year than we were last year at this time are we not?

Living in LA…seeing it flooded with Iowa fans suddenly and the contrast of their faces before and after the game, knowing the tickets were like 2k a pop…I was genuinely glad friends and family didn’t drop that $$$ even though I would’ve loved seeing them visit.
You can watch UCLA at Rose Bowl easy for 20 bucks, I’m sure their attendance will spike for a few years with midwesterners making it a vacation. Nebraska fans can watch a game in the rose bowl while they still suck now.
There was another year my wife was asking me “why are there thousands of southern accent white women everywhere I go?”…Auburn rose bowl.
Road trip!Just read a CBS Sports article that says negotiating for 6 or a merger.
Thought you were a woman Bobbi.I voted for never. The PAC 10 schools have such a lofty opinion of themselves that I do NOT want them. Leftovers from the ACC collapse would be a much better cultural fit. Besides, this old man cannot stay up late enough to watch a night game played on the west coast.
Magical thinking is a hell of a drug.
Just for fun, I thought of some problems/excuses for Texas over the next 10 years:
2022: Sark still getting his program up and running
2023: Uncertainty about when they'll start playing in the SEC so players couldn't focus/practice hard enough.
2024: Waiting for that SEC $$ to start rolling in.
2025: Sark might not be the guy/getting used to the SEC.
2026: New guy getting his guys/program in place.
2027: SEC scheduling unfair; have to play all the top teams.
2028: Unfair the Texas has to share conference money equally with the likes of Missouri and the Mississippi schools. Texas deserves a bigger cut.
2029: The guy that replaced Sark.
2030: Other schools use the NIL too.
2031: SEC schools allowed to recruit in Texas.
