re: Chips are down: Is there a fired coach you once hated but look back more fondly now?
Posted by Eldodroptop on 7/2/26 at 12:16 pm to Marcelo Lavanda
Barry Switzer.
Hated the SOB when he was coaching OU. Hated him after he left OU.
Hated him with the Cowboys.
But then I mellowed, and slowly realized he would have been a lot of fun to get drunk (blasted on coke) with. Barry is a hell of a story teller. I would imagine Getting him and Bill Clinton in a bar together, when they were both in their prime, would have been wild.

re: Who had the best year in sports?

Aggregate scoring across all sports is fine and all, sure, makes Texas look good. HOORAY!!!
But Indiana won the National Championship in football… INDIANA…
All things considered, they had the best year in sports. The magnitude of that championship outweighed any other school’s aggregated accomplishments.

Small town Wisconsin is actually pretty damn cool. The bar to church ratio is 50/50, small businesses abound, people are nice as hell.
Wouldn’t want to full time it there, but kicking back at a nice summer place up in north Wisconsin wouldn’t suck.

That is the one University that should be fought over by the SEC and B1G.
The NYC television market is moved by the Hurricanes being good. Too much potential money sitting on the table for Miami not to be in your conference.

So, why do people keep claiming this?
Because some people are Arkansas fans.

If Texas happens to live up to their expectations over the next couple of seasons, Muschamp will become a hot commodity again.
Nothing rehabilitates a coaching career faster than being associated with winning.

Texas- Texas A&M (I'm not sure if this is bigger than OU-TX because of its discontinuation. Are Texas fans split on this? I would assume both OU and A&M would say it's Texas)
Texas- OU would both agree that we are each others biggest rival. But it’s complicated on both sides by the secondary rivals that are both heated and historic.
OU-Nebraska was huge, and OSU is their Aggie.
If you are a Horn or Arkansas fan of a certain age, that particular rivalry was every bit as strong as TX-OU and actually more important.
Texas-A&M would be the number one rivalry if it weren’t for the fact that we downplay it because it drives Aggie nuts. But rest assured when we lose to Aggie it’s far more meaningful than anyone lets on.
