I don’t know how Oklahoma State would be rated as a better job than Arkansas.

Texas defense will crush either one.

With a generational talent like Vince Young, he did get the natty.

He seems to be very similar to Mack Brown, and don’t mean it as a compliment. Wins a lot of games, sprinkled in with inexplicable losses to nobodies, and usually loses the most important games every year. Many wins, few titles.

He will be playing at Knoxville.

Fox gets their biggest numbers at their Big Noon game. They always scheduled Texas vs Oklahoma at 11:00 am Central.

Vols will win easily.
re: Solely about football. Are SMU and Texas Tech more desirable coaching jobs than Arkansas?
Posted by The Orange Bull on 7/28/25 at 1:19 am to ScotlandAve
Have you ever been to Lubbock? That alone makes Arkansas a better job. SMU is the most expensive school in Texas with no fan base and not even a full complement of sports. Just some really rich guys trying to buy relevance for their football team. Texas Tech has a fracking billionaire who has given them a blank check, trying to buy relevance as well.

Arkansas and Oklahoma should play annually.
re: Is it possible that OU and Missouri leave the conference?

They were able to leave the Big !2 because the Governor was a former Aggie cheerleader. The current Governor graduated from Texas. It was long thought that Texas couldn’t leave the Big 12 without taking Texas Tech with us. Having a Governor who graduated from Texas made it possible for us to leave Texas Tech in the rear view mirror.
re: Best Colleges - 2025 Largest Endowment
Posted by The Orange Bull on 7/1/25 at 1:05 am to ColoradoElkHerd
Incorrect. Originally it was Austin, Galveston, College Station, but when the Systems were created in 1970, the A&M and Texas shares were split among the system campuses. Prairie View A&M has a dedicated share of A&M’s portion. The endowment cannot itself be spent, only the interest, and it is only spent on physical construction. Academics are funded by appropriations from the Legislature and tuition.

It’s all about Texas in Aggieland. Checked the lyrics of the Aggie War Hymn lately?

Jackie Sherrill won because he was dirty. Got fired at A&M, the school went on probation. Hired at Mississippi State, got fired and the school went on probation. He was handing out suitcases of cash long before NIL made it legal.

College Station presents the same problem.

Not sure how accurate this is. Texas men’s basketball was abysmal last year.

Your father should have sent you to Texas. He would have spared you from the Battered Aggie Syndrome.

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.
