We got the better end of the deal on the baseball coach. Kept all our players and got the better long term coach.

Delusional.

i mean as a man quit *****ng and do something about it. we aren't 5 year olds. texas will lie,cheat and steal to get what they want. sounds like another group of people honestly. but this is known so as a school and fan base we need to just kick their ass. back in the day that was a tough road to hoe. it isn't any longer. we are not little brother.

Getting rid of Schloss doesn't bother me a bit.

But losing to t.u. in Kyle sucks.

I'm happy we played them because I'm not a ***** with a loser mentality.

I'm not happy that we lost to them and scored 0 points on offense.

The problem you're having OP is you believe we're more than average at football.

Just let that belief go and you will be ok.

How do you know that? What body of evidence do you have to prove we got a better long term coach?

---

There is none, many just want very badly to belive that because Schloss left us for Texas.
Same way many ran around the last 13 years saying " We run this state" when we didn't really have any success of our own just riding the coattails of others.
We told Texas the Big 12 was weak( even though we only won the conference once and it was 13 years prior to our last season in the Big 12).. we told them how big and bad the SEC was and they wouldn't be able to handle it.
And then the whole thing blew up in our face

Now back to baseball and we are doing pretty much the same thing … touting a first time head coach as a better head coach than a dude who has taken 2 programs to Omaha.

They aren't winning the conference, keep your shirt on. Mizzou was in the title game in their first year as well, Manning won't be there forever.

This all set up extremely well for them no doubt. Things are never as good as they seem or as bad as they seem though. Let's go whip their ass in baseball and basketball. The way things are going over there with college admissions in 20 years cricket will be the only sport they care about and all their big money donors that were alumni will be dead.

Enjoy the same exact result as the Fran years then when tu ate our lunch on the recruiting trail and beat us in our house regularly. Nothing will ever change if you do the exact same thing and keep expecting a different result.

If we remain in a conference with tu, we will have to face the biased media slobbering over them at every turn and putting A&M down, entire halves of the season without a holding call against our opponents, bad schedule draws, losing elite recruits head to head and more. Bookmark this for a few years from now and I'll say I told you so. Some of you don't remember what it was like to be conference mates with them.

Texas has won 1 National Title since college football was integrated in the early 1970's.
They've won 1 National title the past 50 years.

They are not all that. I've watched OU, TCU and Baylor kick their ass in football and basketball in the post A&M BIGXII.

The game on Saturday sucked, but there is no need to give UT an additional reach around.

UT didn't do much of anything between 2010 to 2022. Many people state the Horns fled the BIGXII because they were tired of the ass whuppings that TCU and Baylor were giving them.

It was ok for the Longhorns to lose to OU, Alabma or Georgia....but getting continually ran off the field by TCU was causing their alums to lose a lot of face.

tu did not allow a single touchdown this year from their main rivals, OU & A&M. Do you think they would not have beat TCU and Baylor this year? They are built for the SEC now and we don't have the dogs in the trenches to compete with them as evidenced Saturday night. We used to when we had Clemens on the D-Line and that great O-Line in 2020. That was the high water mark the last few years and I think we would have beat them several times in a row. Not now.

This has to be the softest thing I have ever read. What kind of message does running away from our rival say about us as a school. Embrace the rivalry, put our heads down, and let's go.

We already did that 12 years ago when we left for the SEC and it was hailed Wholeheartedly by the fanbase as the greatest move in athletic program history. Everyone was so excited to finally get out of their shadow. What has changed now that makes it "soft"?

I swear some of you have Stockholm syndrome when it comes to tu and the SEC. They made a promise when A&M joined and then stabbed us in the back. You get rammed in the a** and say "may I have some more please?"

"She'll change this time. I'm sure of it. I know she didn't really mean to lie and sleep with that other guy."

When we left the B12, I wanted to continue to play tu because we had an opportunity to establish ourselves as the premier football program in Texas. They probably were smart not to let that happen because they were largely mediocre and we would have won the majority of those games. But, they played it perfectly (something we will probably never do). They built their roster with NIL, hired a good offensive coach, got themselves back in the picture then crashed the SEC while we were floundering around, something we spend too much damn time doing. So, while ranting about not playing tu, we weren't taking advantage of our own SEC move.

Being a contender this year became critical…we did that for a while then folded down the stretch as everyone pointed and laughed. We needed a visionary hire after canning fisher so we let an AD responsible for our dilemma and who was on his way out conduct the process. Our two top candidates were a solid long time coach known for 7-8 win seasons at a basketball school and a second year head coach in the midst of a 7-8 win season at a basketball school. Oh yeah!

I hope Elko can surprise me because, so far, he is doing about what I expected. He's a good coach with a scowl. The talking heads think he's great for A&M…because they see us as a perennial 8-4 team and that's what we should shoot for. We'll see how it goes from here. If it doesn't work, I hope Albert's is around to conduct the next hire because he's an outsider and an ******* that may get it right.

Missouri went 5-7 (2-6 SEC) in their first year in the SEC. Alabama defeated Georgia 32-28 in the 2012 SEC Championship Game. Missouri won back-to-back SEC East division titles in 2013 and 2014.

Running away from the SEC in fear of our in-state rival won't help us attract elite recruits. We have to use both the recruiting trail and transfer portal to construct a roster that has the talent to beat Texas and contend for SEC Championships. Our current roster is not there yet.

Our window to do anything of note closed when they joined the conference. We had 12 years to do something and we wasted it. Sark was already out-recruiting us, and it's only going to get worse.

Again, we have to have something different to offer recruits than tu. tu offers the same thing as A&M right now only better.

A more established coach, bigger brand, more money, better history/prestige, better players to surround yourself with, a much better chance at making the playoffs than us because they will always get a ranking bump by the committee and have made the playoffs twice now etc.

Medaggie said:

Them joining the SEC will only make us better. When we have to deal with reality next door, then it will push us to be better and possibly an SEC title.

If they won the big 12 and we went 8-4, we would just say the big 12 is minor leagues and we had a hell of a season beating expectations in Elko's 1st year.

Screw that. We need the heat to push us to better heights. texas getting better will only make us better

This sounds like that means something, but it doesn't. Notre Dame and BYU have one national title each in the last 45 years but anyone would laugh if you said they were equals. Since the 1940s Michigan and Michigan State each have one consensus and one shared title but they are in wildly different worlds of prestige and status overall. In baseball Coastal Carolina has one national championship and Florida State has none. But if anyone suggested Coastal is even on the same planet as Florida State as a baseball power they'd be laughed out of the room.

This "When should we start counting?" argument already happened on a recent thread, it comes around often. And as usual everybody has their own definition of what should count: Who cares what happened more than 20 years ago? Who cares what happened before I started watching college football? Who cares what happened before I was born? Who cares what happened before I went to school there? Who cares what happened before WW2? Who cares what happened before the era of polls? Who cares what happened before the forward pass? Who cares what happened before they started counting bowl stats? Who cares what happened before we had the playoffs? And on and on.

Once you go down that road of arbitrarily picking dates and criteria you can make anything look like whatever you want. Watch this: "Since my dad started school at Texas and my family became fans in 1963 Texas has won four national championships, only Alabama, Nebraska, and Miami have more." See?

And I mean, are you suggesting that somehow since integration everything is an even playing field now? Does Idaho have access to regional football talent like A&M does? Does Stanford have access to all the non-genius players that A&M does? Does Kansas have the money that A&M does? Maybe we should wait to count anything until all those and more are addressed.

The other bizarre thing about your argument is that if you throw out stuff before the 70s you actually throw out the vast majority of A&M's success, too.

Most of Texas success in football came when blacks couldn't play college football in the South.
The average black kid from Texas could give two sh**ts what Texas accomplished in the 1960's, or that the 1969 Texas Longhorns were the last all white National Title team.

The Texas Longhorn football program stopped being dominant after integration happened. Most people consider the modern age of college football to be after 1970.

A lot of people from Texas (and it seems like you are one of them) love to put the Longhorns on a pedestal that they frankly don't belong.

OU became a superior college football program to Texas because Barry Switzer was quicker to embrace and recruit black kids in the 1970's. To this day....black kids in Texas tend to prefer OU over Texas.

Since integration OU has 4 National Titles (74, 75, 85, 2000) and 28 Conference Titles while in that same time frame the Texas Longhorns have 1 National Title (2005) and 14 conference titles.
OU won the BIGXII 15 times. Texas won the BIGXII 4 times.

In the 5 Decades since integration birthed modern college football the Texas Longhorns have done the following:
1970's: Still really good
1980's: Average
1990's Average
2000's: Elite
2010s: Average

People from Texas like to act like the Texas Longhorns are like the Lakers or the Yankees....and the reality is that they are just a school that has won 1 National Title in football or basketball over the past 50 years.

Alright, there's clearly a racial interest here that I'm not getting drawn into. But A&M and Notre Dame didn't even allow women until the 70s so maybe ease up on the discrimination stuff.

And most average kids of any color couldn't care less what happened 10 years ago or 5 years ago for that matter so I guess let's just stop keeping records altogether. Does it really matter right now that Michigan won it last year or Alabama has won a bunch last decade?

In the last 5 months tu has:

-Joined our conference
-Hired away our baseball coach
-Beat A&M at Kyle Field
-Clinched a berth in the SEC title game in their first year when A&M still has 0 title game appearances

This is a lot of fun. Things are going fantastic for our athletic department as we get shoved into a locker and clowned on again.

Im so glad they joined the SEC and our admins were duped by thinking a handshake deal would keep them out.

So many of you wanted to play them again. Happy now? Reading all that reinforces to me that we need to leave the conference and never be in one with them again. Our rivals can be tech, Baylor, tcu, or we should join the big 10.

We were all soooo sure things were going to be different now that we had an new stadium, facilities, better recruiting and we puffed out our chest when we got the greatest recruiting class of all time which turned out to be a complete bust.

We thought the SEC would be to physical for them and we would have a leg up on them when we played them in Kyle field again, but they completely dominated both lines of scrimmage from the first snap and we didn't score a single point on offense.

This is a lot of fun. Things are going fantastic for our athletic department as we get shoved into a locker and clowned on again.

Im so glad they joined the SEC and our admins were duped by thinking a handshake deal would keep them out.

So many of you wanted to play them again. Happy now? Reading all that reinforces to me that we need to leave the conference and never be in one with them again. Our rivals can be tech, Baylor, tcu, or we should join the big 10.

We were all soooo sure things were going to be different now that we had an new stadium, facilities, better recruiting and we puffed out our chest when we got the greatest recruiting class of all time which turned out to be a complete bust.

We thought the SEC would be to physical for them and we would have a leg up on them when we played them in Kyle field again, but they completely dominated both lines of scrimmage from the first snap and we didn't score a single point on offense.

it's literally laughable that you would actually believe the Big Ten would admit Texas A&M

---

You could have said the exact same thing about USC, UCLA, Washington, and Oregon very recently. I

They would admit A&M in a heartbeat. Texas has thirty million people. That's 30 million potential sets of eyeballs. Both A&M fans and fans of opposing teams who would watch to see if we lose. They want a piece of that. A&M is also great academically and a tier-one research institution. It's not like we are West Virginia.It's also located in a warm weather region where you can have another road game where you don't freeze in November.

There are three perspectives:

1. Old in footprint eyeballs for calculating likely per-subscriber across a state. That value has diminished with cord cutting.

2. Even older national audience numbers for broadcast "over the air." Thats more valuable but attenuated by in-state markets and popularity of school in each. This is more valuable with the Big Ten's new TV deal but clearly is set for now and we have poor experience with look in upgrades.

Read differently: the Big Ten deals likely calculated in USC and UCLA but UDub and Oregon got partial revenue deals. See also Stanford, Cal, and especially SMU in ACC…

3. Another bellwether especially in basketball is the butt in seat value of better traveling basketball fans which WE ARE NOT ONE OF THOSE. See the Tech game at Dickey's later this month… We don't even travel that well for football…either!!!

There is value to the Big Ten for having access to Texas for recruiting but we helped other SEC teams more than we helped our school by entering the SEC so…your mileage might vary here, too.

The over the top streaming services are currently paired with networks except for Amazon Prime. So while it's unknown how those will drive revenue in the future the OTA and cable broadcasts are how those are valued and call into category 1. and 2. respectively!!!

They did us a favor with SchlossSNAKEggle.

Good riddance.

You're delusional. Schloss was the only elite coach we had on campus outside of T&F. It'll be a while before we are back in Omaha.

---

That's why all of his players followed him and left us with a few trainers and a janitor to take the field next year? Oh. That's right, only his pitching coach followed him and none of the pitchers or any other players.

That says something...

Y'all still feeling good about the horns doing us a favor?
