It's worth a shot to get discussions going again, especially now that we have a new Texas governor. I don't think he would be prone to block a deal should it happen

They've had that black accent around their logo for damn near 20 years now and did that black-around-the-numbers thing for a long while there too. Just saying.

When they wear the black uniforms, can we just call them the San Jose 49ers that week?

Home blacks are the new home whites

UW with more players picked than any other Pac 12 school so far if I'm counting correctly.
So basically 7 Win Steve can recruit and coach em up but can't execute?

Pretty much. Those guys all had their best seasons under Coach Pete, but hard to say if that's just because they were seniors/juniors and were going to be good regardless.
Biggest problem with Sark was the two or three games every season where the team would not show up at all and get the doors blown off them.

Detroit Lions pulled the same shit. Added black to the logo scheme, next thing you know they had a black alternate. The Niners have used black on their pants and jerseys in the past and it has been part of their logo for years. I'm saying black is as much a Niners color as it is a Lions color as they defiled their logo with it years ago.

That dead program UAB had 2 players drafted, which was just as many as aggy. Also Blake Sims didn't get drafted, but he has an agreement with Green Bay to tryout.
Nick Marshall didn't get drafted either. Is an UDFA with Jax.
What position?

why are all the hotels in columbia proper like 200+ a night in september. its south carolina
I'm assuming you're looking at a football game weekend?
Been wondering the same thing for RG3 and Manziel.
With the 40 man roster limit in the NFL, I really don't see them embracing running QB's. Was a bad draft this year for QBs, in general. Next year looks to be much better for that position in the draft.
Been out of the loop for a few days, but I am not happy with this change to a new college seal. I've already had to deal with my undergrad changing names while there, and now this from A&M. Seals are supposed to look old and anachronistic, not a generic logo that has self- contradicting beveling applied.

33% of the letters in "ATM" are beveled. Interesting choice by the graphic artist
No. This is what happens when you don't use a condom. Abstinence only education needs to be eliminated from schools

Columbia isn't the biggest city around, nor is South Carolina the biggest state. There are a handful of other cities 60-90 minutes away, might save you on accommodations.
These hotels probably have 10 good weekends a year to make most of their money. They're going to raise the prices on those weekends.

I know. 
in case I go for the UCF game, I booked for a hotel outside of town.
I just wanted something close so I don't have to worry about a car on gameday.
And the Big XII has stated they will not hold a championship game at all. Kind of shocking when the playoff committee has said they are at a disadvantage with 12 games. They come off looking like the old Big East. Of course for different core reasons but they seem very reactive and they fail to do basic things to maintain their status. Only
P5 conference with no CCG? Smallest conference? No network? Oh well.

What? It's 53.
Nope, new roster restrictions in place phasing the NFL back to an iron man league. 40 players this year. 25 next year. By 2017 each team will only be allowed to have 15 players.
Iron man, baby. If they come out of the game for a sub, they can't go back in.
Edit: Honestly, I think Tebow might go pretty high in that draft, for durability's sake alone.

Looks like Austin is going to host a bowl featuring an AAC team this season. This could be UCF's time to shine in the heart of Big 12 country

Eh Access Bowl or bust at this point. We'll end up in Boca or Miami more than likely if we don't get the slot again. We do go back to Texas in 2017 to finish out a series from when Texas opened at our new stadium.
Ha, you're right. Got it mixed up with the MLB 40 man roster of all the players with a major league contract. NFL does still have additional rules limiting teams to only dressing 46 players for a game.

Urbz had to have unplanned surgery today, no other details around it yet.

Emergency appendectomy. Expected to be fine but might be held overnight just because it was a surgery and all.
Source: me, because I am in the middle of breaking this story. He was supposed to speak here in Findlay tonight but the event was postponed.
The stress of keeping it up at OSU has finally gotten to him. Saban, by losing to Meyer, broke him.
I hope everything is okay.

Here's the new Big 12 "One True Champion" tiebreaker rules, for those that care.
I would laugh if step #4 ever has to come into play.

Better hope someone doesn't bring a worn out old silver dollar.
#3 means that running up the score is encouraged in the Big12.
Poor, poor Kansas.

The redundancy of b1 irks me.
It's like when Penn state hosts Michigan or Ohio State. The Super 8 goes up to over 600 dollars a night. That is a budget motel that is usually 50 a night. Granted it is much smaller non college population than Columbia.

Which lucky team gets blessed with all the interceptions and lost fumbles?
