re: What's the biggest sports moment that you have witnessed in person?

Notre Dame vs Texas in the 1970 Cotton Bowl. Notre Dame’s first bowl game in decades, the Original Four Horsemen were there as were every Notre Dame notable in their .history. Texas was ranked #1 on the way to the 1969 National Championship, President Johnson was in attendance with every notable sports personality in national media. Thrilling game not decided until the last play. Joe Theisman was the ND QB.

Today is an example of why Rick Barnes did not finish his career as the coach of the Texas Longhorns. His teams here had an incredible knack for providing an inexplicable loss at the worst time. Hopes built up, hopes crushed.

Texas didn’t spend in the Fall portal, but it will likely change in the Spring portal.

re: Texas' 2025 Schedule - WTF?
Posted by The Orange Bull on 12/13/24 at 9:49 pm
Florida, Georgia, LSU, Missouri and A&M voted for the 9 game schedule. The other 9 schools voted against it. Had it passed, schedules would have been more equitable for everyone. Unless you are a fan of the 5 schools who voted for the 9 game schedule, stop complaining.

Texas starts a home and home with Ohio State next year, and in 2027 Michigan comes to Austin. Then Texas plays a home and home with Notre Dame.

I think the outcry after Florida State got left out last year had everything to do with conference champions getting an automatic berth and first round bye.
re: It's an away game...and the only night game of the three on December 21.

Seems like it would have been for Tennessee to play the noon game and Texas to play the night game, considering it is on December 21.

I think the rules change next year to take SOS more into account, not necessarily give conference champions automatic byes, go to more of a seeding format. The future will be the SEC joining everyone else in 9 conference games and everybody in the SEC playing a Big !0 opponent annually. Who plays who in the other 2 regular season games to be determined.

You’re an idiot. How much did tickets cost for LSU-A&M? How much are they selling for for Saturday. Young Aggies are not smart, but now that Sharp has turned A&M into a diploma mill, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

re: Clemson. Let's be honest.

Sounds exactly like A&M. Clemson is the A&M of South Carolina.

Only 5 SEC schools voted for the 9 game conference schedule, Florida, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, and A&M. The schedules would have been more equitable for all 16 schools. Several schools got lighter schedules, Missouri, A&M, for example. The 9 no votes have only themselves to blame.
