Added the gems from SI's 10 Most Powerful People in College Sports. The SI article inculdes the obligatory jab at Dodds and, better still, credits A&M's SEC move for Slive taking the #1 spot.

Gangsta

Fla State doing everything they can to get into the SEC and avoid the Big Whatever. They are a teachers college and will not be caught without a US map...like West Virginia was.

Thanks in advance for watching the Horns on Thanksgiving night on ESPN.

That NFL game might get in the way.

2nd page? Oh no. I WILL NOT let this thread die.

The circle is complete as Kirk Bohls says "the Longhorns can't even see the Joneses". Classic!

RAB--got another one for you

I meant the part about UT winding up in some sad leftover of the Big 12 while A&M flourished in the SEC.

YES Daddy A&M will go to the most lucrative conference in the country and t.u. will be forced into some scrub conference

Best. Thread. Evar.

Hello DeLoss. Can't wait until the mushroom cloud over Belmont after SEC TV announcement in mid-April. Gonna be epic.

TELL THAT MOFO!

Dying for the next update from Bev Kerney's attorney.

After bowl season Deloss is busy putting the pieces back together on his humpty dumpster fire conference.

We need to educate the masses of aggies who will soon begin to believe the story of realignnment as told by the sips/Baylor.

Somebody needs to post the final timeline to M&W and the football forum. Anyone interested?

Yeah, I'd love to see Zombie's version (no offense, RAB, but the dates help) posted all over the place!!

We also need to consider adding Loftin's view of the events somehow - from that thread that included his interview in the 12th Man magazine.

-Texas talking with Pac 16 in spring of 2010.
-Loftin's two seperate discussion with Powers where he refused to give him necessary details on Pac 16.
-The April/May Big XII non-official meeting where Loftin committed to the Big XII "as currently constituted".
-Possibly the Big XII meeting where Texas swore to all the members that the LHN would only include 1 game a year. (May have been the June Big Xii meetings or maybe later...needs more google investigation on Byrne's comments later that fall where he said all the prior agreements with Beebe had been blatantly disregarded).

This thread is starting to be top 10 all time Rivalries thread

This should be added to refute Dodds loss of memory earlier this week:

http://www.statesman.com/news/sports/college/the-balls-in-texas-court-aggies-say-they-want-to-p/nRfqz/

This one is kind of neat. Bill Powers stating in June 2010 (1 week after missile crisis) that no matter what decision A&M had made (leaving to the SEC or going to the Pac) that Texas would have still played A&M. It was never a consideration.

quote:

---

We are delighted that we're in a conference together. We weren't going to end the relationship with A&M, whatever they did," Powers said, hinting that Texas and A&M would continue to play each other even if they were in separate conferences.

OK. Updated & cross-posted to football. As stated in the opening, RAB, I really hope you don't mind.

I consider this to be a group effort.

If the sip BOR needs to fill out DeLo$$'s performance review they should just come here. They are gonna need a bunch of supplemental pages. I think "fails to meet expectations" would be appropriate based on this thread.

Busy day for CoD updates!

No problem Zombie. Maybe you can help me write a book on Dodds. It's become quite a comedy.

We gotta get the Powers quote that he would always keep playing A&M even if we ended up in different conferences.

WestAustinAg-
It's in there, see:
June 19, 2010 -Horns (Powers) spin on PAC rejection: UTex opted to stay BXII

RAB-
Are the quotes you're getting from Chi(m)p Brown behind a subscription wall?
I'm not finding anything out in the open other than copy/paste posts here.
Also, I'd like to add these two items in which the longhorns say one thing & do another:
October 15, 2011 -Dodds says Horns' schedule is too full to include A&M
November 11, 2011 -Horns' schedule apparently not too full for UCLA

The missle Kim Jong Un aimed at Austin has "SEC Network" painted on the side.

Excellent ****ing bump, I don't know what the world would be like if this thread wasn't bumped every 7 days.

I didn't realize he said that.

Yeah Zombie, the Chimp quotes came what I believe was a link on this forum. I'll had the notes from 2011 scheduling.

Added Yahoo Sports comment on Loisville avoiding BigFail - "a great miss"! Another brilliant blunder by Dodds.

RAB continuing his scholarly work

The newest spin on LHN:

Dodds going through his death throws. Longhorn program a fart in the wind now.

Looks like ESPN gave the game to Fox, in favor of the Egg Bowl.
