Better be careful there.
Careful of?
Yes, that's what I'm upset about, Penn State winning. Not the fact that they enabled a child molester and will likely enable any future scumbags in their program because that's what their cult-like culture demands.

You haven't been around college football enough if you think the "cult-like culture" is unique to PSU
Bit presumptuous
No one claimed it is unique, although it probably reached a more ridiculous extreme at PSU due to the cult of Paterno. But certainly there are plenty of schools which also cover for scumbags for the sake of the program, which is why it's important to actually punish schools when they, you know, think child rape is less important than football.
:jnc
With what we know about the SWC, that doesn't seem like a huge loss.
Being banned? Not even, if I ever did. I'd sit in banland and smile at every victory knowing it made the people(the ones that think penn st should of been killed off the map) butthurt to the max. But hey Branduil how the Longhorns doing or whatever shit program from the South you back.
I guess UCLA is in the "South." Pac-12 South, at least.
Branduil is a UCLA fan? how does that happen considering im pretty sure the rest his sports teams are Texas related
It's Division I, just no football team since like 1985. Obviously the school fell into the ocean and exploded when that happened, because schools can't survive without football.
There's even still a football stadium there, I guess they use it for track and field.
The same thing happened to Cal State Fullerton, it was very sad.((
I will remember the specifics of your origin story in better detail for future reference!
Wiki is saying it was disbanded because of money concerns and although a move down to a lower level was planned it never occurred and something about trying to get the football program running again since 1995
A fate crueler than the death penalty, I'd say.
I know it does, which is why when we started out 0-2 last year and 0-12 was looking pretty certain but finished 8-4 it made it so good.
Also I wouldnt even be mad if Penn St did get a death penalty of like 1-2 years. But 10 years and all the other crazy ideas and posts that came up back when it happened was ridiculous. Although I think 95% of those posts were made by people that never watched football in their life and out there with the "Look at me, my righteous hammer strikes down apon thee"
Well, the death of the SWC was a prelude to all this conference realignment. College football still might have been much more regionalized.

Agreed. The SWC needed to die.
I really need to post more around here, I think.
A LOT more...
Nobody deserves that.

Hey, did you guys hear how Texas Tech got named the #1 University to work for by a Glassdoor survey?:
Texas Tech really is a wonderful school. Not surprising our football program is on the rise again.
...
I get what you're saying, Drax, but consider the following:
It's important to temper the punishment dealt to Penn St. for institutional complicity in ongoing sex crimes against minors because _____________________________.
"it could erode the regional character of college athletics." doesn't make for a very compelling sentence, at least if you have your priorities in order.

THE Florida State University
Yeah, it's just it's just a completely different age for penalizing colleges, compare PSU's punishment to say what happened with the 91 Maryland Terps basketball team, and it just boggles the mind (with the noted exceptions of OSU (12 and 10) and USC)).. I think it's just a joke that the scholarship got rescinded, but I guess there was an intense amount of political pressure on the NCAA.
It's also I'd much rather see PSU players be allowed to play in bowls than have the scholarships rescinded, if you want to talk about punishing the current players let them have a chance in bowls, scholarship bans hurt the schools more.
And yes, i'm against the scholarship reduction for the same reasons Sirpopopopopopopop is as well.
When my brother visited Lubbock before he enrolled, in a single day -
1. it was warm enough that they were walking around in shorts.
2. a dust storm came in with a cold front.
3. it started raining during the dust storm, leading to the "raining mud" phenomenon.
4. it started snowing.
I faced the "shorts weather -> snow" transition a few times in my time there, but never with the dust storm and rain in between.

Well, that makes two of us...
My first day attending class at Texas Tech (I was a transfer student entering in the spring) it did the dust storm/rain mud thing on me. FIRST DAY!
My sister, who had attended Tech way before me, told me that unlike what I was used to in Austin, people tended to dress a little nicer for the first day of class. She was a fashion buyer, and was excited that I was going to Tech, so she bought me a gift to wear when she was in London on business--a beautiful, white cotton Comme des Garçons jacket that you couldn't even buy in the USA.
By the time I got to class, it looked like I was wearing half the farmland of Nebraska on that fucking jacket. LOL.
Go Noles!
Beating the Gatas in yet another category. No one wants to work in an environment with jorts and 125% humidity.
Just know that your (generic TTU employee) employment contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.

It would have been 60:00 if the clock manager in the booth didn't have the reaction time of a sloth

considering it was Cowboys stadium in Dallas, I think we can assume that's Texas's fault too

How does everyone feel about Tyler Murphy? I mean, realistically.

We made another cool list: http://www.businessinsider.com/complete-ranking-of-americas-smartest-colleges-2013-9
We're smarter than the actual UT!
Can't be as bad as Driskel, right?

Of course your SAT scores are higher than UT's, y'all dont have a football program
For all the talent Driskel supposedly has, he still did way too much dumb shit and made too many negative plays. So if Murphy can cut down on those negative plays, we can still have a good season even if he isn't some diamond in the rough.
