Dear Randolph
I do not care if A&M was or is part of the UT System. I do not care about the 12th man argument. I do not care who manages whom's endowment.

I DO care that DeLoss left us in this $#@!hole of a conference. I DO care that **** is going to be blared across the nation on Aug 28, representing our state. REPRESENTING OUR *******ED STATE!!!!

While I'm trying to find our game on LHN, **** will be broadcast coast to coast. THIS IS ALL DELOSS' FAULT! That MORON let all the good parts of the conference leave and left us with - Kansas State? Iowa State? BAYLOR??!??!? And we are stuck with them (oh yeah TCU who I never missed) until - 2025?

We've been screwed! A little gimpy bowtied ******* bent us over and went in dry and DeLoss sat there and cheered him on like a certain QB is a San Antonio hotel room.

YES I AM PISSED. And even with the season upon us, we are staring into the maw of a very average year in a crappy conference with another crappy bowl. And recruiting shows we're getting our arse handed to us. THAT MEANS THERE'S NO END IN SIGHT.

I'm sorry if I sound bitter or down, but all this window dressing about endowments and 12th man and other crap detracts from the fact THE *******ED HOUSE IS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES RIGHT BEHIND YOU.


He is right.

Texas is stuck in a shite conference, prob 4th in pecking order this year, and has no suitors in sight to change thier current situatoin. They wil lhave games played regionally on the LHN that few carry outside of Texas while A&M and the other 13 schools will continue to market themselves natoinwide to the tune of 80 million households.

If any Texas fans are reading this, let this sink in. Vanderbilt will get more exposure nationwide than Texas will this season.

Texas is stuck in a shite conference because any conference that has Texas in it will be a shite conference. They insist on being bigger than the conference, rather than operating within the confines and protections therein. Hence, the LHN. UNC is much the same way when it comes to the ACC, which is why I do not understand anyone who wants them in the SEC.

I give the Go Roll Tiders shite, but as crazy as y'all are, you do at least largely embrace the traditions of the conference as a whole, not just your own myopic fiefdom. Texas can't do that.

It's an interesting dichotomy of reactions from bevo's camp.

On the one hand you have the Randolph Duke's who say "doesn't matter, it's only money and we still have more than anyone, and we still have our very own private network too"(lol for now anyway)

then you have the "Dear Randolph, YES I AM PISSED" camp that is melting faster than a 1 cent birthday candle. For them the realization that Bevo has sank yet another conference, is setting in and it's only a matter of time before they are either the next pseudo-Notre Dame like, indie or they are going to eat a big piece of humble pie and go hat in hand, knocking at the door of the PAC/B1G.

The implosion has only just begun,
And the best part of all is that AtM and Mizzou get to watch from the comfort of our new, best in the world, conference home!

Not a fan of being the troll bait, but that's okay when we can finally get some exposure for more than having a coach with the audacity to claim we will compete. Poor t.u. (am I doing it right?)
