  1. Not quite. Substitute Texas Tech for A&M and your statement is accurate. Yeah, screwed that up. Nebraska is going to get a smaller share of the pie at first, but not less than what they're currently getting now. But it sounds like they want to get things going academically immediately. Looks like it's up to A&M now to make their move. Do they go the safe route and join the PAC-10 or do they make the bold move severing conference affiliations with the horns and head to the SEC?

  3. He's the guy who has claimed he's getting his info straight from someone inside the Big Ten office. The summary I posted earlier in the spoiler tags is based entirely on this guy's reports. I'll check again with my sources, but I would be absolutely shocked if A&M ended up in the Big 10 after what I've heard recently.
  4. I wish Texas A&M would hurry up. I can't take much more of this. Where is that quote from?
  5. From what I hear from my A&M sources, there is ZERO chance we go to the Big 10.
  6. Television bans used to be common, but I think they're unfair, not to the team that's being punished but to their opponents. Innocent teams would lose television coverage and revenue.Texas A&M in 1994
  7. OB is a mouthpiece for the texas AD. Don't believe anything they say about A&M. The horns are worried about us going to the SEC so they are threatening to stop playing us in all sports if we go there. They're nothing more than bullies and we are about to call their bluff.
  8. As an Aggie that grew up in Big 10 country, this new development is relevant to my interests.
  9. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  10. I thought the 2nd penalty was questionable, but the last one was pure [expletive]. We should still have the lead.

  12. I just downloaded "Chelsea Dagger" on my phone and am listening to it over and over. I think the series ends tonight. The champagne will be on ice. It will keep to Friday if necessary.
  13. OH NOES! BECAUSE THE TRIBUNE PRINTED THAT PICTURE THE HAWKS ARE DOOMED TO LOSE THE CUP!
  14. What I saw of Strasburg was very impressive. Reminded me of Kerry Wood's 20K game a bit. An overpowering fastball with a wicked curve. I'm looking forward to seeing him pitch more to see if can keep this up.
  15. Why is that? I'm sure if Ryno had to choose between the 2 jobs he'd lean towards the Cubs, but the guy wants to manage, and there are absolutely no guarantees he'd get the Cubs job. There have been rumblings that he'd be considered but who knows if they really want a rookie manager to take over instead of another experienced vet. What if the ideal candidate who is already managing becomes available in the offseason? If he thinks he has a good shot of getting the Cubs job after this season, I don't think he would take the Orioles job now. His preference is to manage here. Has he said that? I would think his preference is to manage anywhere, and there are no guarantees he would get offered a job with the Cubs. The Cubs basically humored him by letting him coach the low minors when he asked to be considered for a managerial spot in 06. He surprised people by doing well at it, but I still don't know whether the Cubs are really actually considering it. The last 3 managerial hires they've made have been older, established managers with some level of track record. If they did go a different direction, I don't necessarily see them going with Sandberg just because he was a great player for them. I don't think he's said that specifically, but he came to the Cubs when he decided he wanted to be a manager. He played basically his whole career with the Cubs. It just makes sense. I never said there were any guarantees he would get the job. I merely stated that if he thinks he has a good shot of landing the Cubs job, that he will not take the Orioles job right now. That is strictly my opinion. Maybe he jumps at the first big league gig he's offered, but I would guess that he prefers to manage the Cubs if given the choice.

  17. UGH, Good God, y'all. What is it good for? :rotfl:
  18. It's probably one of the stupid magnetic bracelets that cures all your physical ills and gives you better balance. I wonder if they have a lucky rock in their pockets, too.
  19. Wells is broken.
  20. I highly doubt he takes any job until he knows for sure that he won't take over for Lou next year.
  21. I know we are still a few weeks away, but the voting is going on and has me wondering. Who on this team deserves to make the AS team? As crazy as it sounds, I think Silva has earned a spot unless he completely falls apart between now and then. I think Marmol should go. What about Fonzi or Byrd?
  22. Yep. http://i395.photobucket.com/albums/pp32/HenryJamesBC/UIL-Class-1A-Boys-B_258760c.jpg You should have used one of the pics of Perry throwing the hook em horns. He is a political whore, but he won't let A&M get screwed.
  23. And holy lord Buff.... http://a323.yahoofs.com/ymg/ept_sports_nhl_experts__65/ept_sports_nhl_experts-297903128-1275916330.jpg?ymrQoQDD5ATzKxjt Joakim Noah is jealous of that jacket.
