YOU ARE 100% out of the loop. Schloss already DENIED Texas. Jay Johnson already DENIED Texas. Bill O'Connor already DENIED Texas. They are going down this list fast. Texas has run down facilities and is a 100% complete rebuild. Texas fans think everyone wants to come there. In reality, many coaches don't want to put up with their crap including all their fair weather fans. CDC really has screwed Texas by not keeping the facilities up to a SEC standard. I laugh at UT!! Come back to this thread as all the sips will say they hired their #1 choice. But of course that won't be Schloss or Johnson...as they decided they wanted better coaches!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. FYI....no SEC coach other than Van Horn is going to seriously consider. Sullivan might, just might. But everyone else is gonna laugh at you!! Be prepared to compete with MO for last place next year!! Also you lolquote:Too funny, my responses are ignored from the Texas posters as they doesn't like what I'm saying. Again, Texas has ZERO chance to hire either Schloss or Johnson. Those conversations are over with CDC. Period the end. This I know absolutely. Vitello? That I have no personal knowledge about him other than knowing TN and their facilities and committment to him. Unless Texas gives him a $100M contract (exaggerated), just never going to happen. I absolutley do think that CNC wants Vitello as his new #1 at this point, considering Schloss and Johnson have said "No". He would certainly be the splash hire that CDC so desperately needs to stay relevant. But I will eat crows if he is hired. In fact, I will ban myself from SEC Rant if Texas is able to hire: Vitello. Best shot is Van Horn or Sullivan. That's it.

I’m sure this thread will get bumped very shortly when Texas starts doing the only thing it knows how to do: ruin conferences for its own self interests

---

How would they do that?

Texas was in the SWC for a long damn time. Big 12 formed as a modern conference and Texas went.


Texas didn’t kill the B12. Texas and OU carried it. ATM left because they were going broke and needed a cash infusion and didn’t like the longhorn network. NU left because they didn’t want hear over partial qualifiers. Colorado left because they never identified with the Midwest and wanted their school win with Stanford and USC. Only atm left because of Texas—and you’ve seen about how influential they are the last 12 years. Mid level football and a lot of jabbering.


Not sure why Missouri left.


But Texas and OU carried almost all the revenue in the B12. SEC has so much more parity. What on earth could Texas do to hurt anything here?

We are not that powerful. Don’t believe at the atm boogie man talk.

Welcome friend. Your team is not a power player. Can't hide behind cheap conference wins against Kansas, Iowa St, and TTU anymore. Be patient, they will choke. Always have, always will.

Definitely a power player. It’s just in the DNA. Not saying better than everyone else or anything but Texas is just a big, regional, Texas sized force of nature.

All that oil money. All those politicians. All that state-wide athletic talent and infrastructure. School has billion dollar endowment, a brand as big as the Yankees (in terms of revenue generation), is always winning directors cups.

Not that others don’t do that, but if we’re just being honest, Texas is its own force in the world. Not the be all end all greatest or anything just one of a few that can really pull it off.

That said, we don’t always live up to it in football. Fair critique. TTU can be pesky as hell at home at night. Iowas state is well coached right now but we never should have lost to them the last 10 years. Kansas there’s no excuse for. And Kansas State haunts my dreams. They are pesky as hell and ruin a few seasons for better teams every year. I’m glad to get away from them because they was no real rivalry energy just a brick wall hitting kinda hard out on the schedule.

But man we schedule hard OOC opponents every year, and don’t schedule FCS opponents. So that balances it quite a bit. Go back to the Sagarin SOS rankings and Texas has been between the #1 and #8 SOS for a long, long time. We definitely don’t take the easy way out.

Maybe we should have been. But we did not and it cost us.

Your biggest concern is that OU and Georgia are back to back games. And playing A&M at the end of the year really benefits the weaker team which is us. Also Arkansas will play out of their minds to stop you. And I see you losing to Michigan. Hopefully you don’t drop a game you shouldn’t. I see 4 games that could be a loss without much convincing. I think 8-4 is the worst it will be. Assuming you beat A&M (if healthy you win that game) and Arkansas. I only see 2 losses. So 10 wins I think is the ceiling. If you beat Michigan you can beat just about anyone. We will see.

And the other thing that seems to occur is how SEC teams tend to beat teams up. It takes some getting used to.

---

That all sounds awesome. Man I’m just a football fan. Life is too short to not have great football games in it, in particular, college football. Might just be the best damn sport in the world. Sure it’s better to win than to lose, but I’m so down for games that all matter and have a ton of pressure baked into them. That’s a good thing, not a bad thing. Sure hope we take the 10 wins but I’m down either way.

Excited as hell to play ATM again, too. I’ll see you there brother.

Bahahahahaha yall are so weird. Just own that he’s a douche bag. I don’t get why you care.

---

I’m willing to own he’s whatever Elko and Saban are, in the sense that they are all guilty of the same thing.

What we’re all pushing back about is that Elko is a man of character ands Schloss is a scumbag simply because Elko did it FOR ATM and Schloss did it AGAINST ATM.

If all three are scumbags, so be it. I think the truth is more moderate that that but just paint all with the same brush.

Where are the apparent death threats? A&M hired Alberts. That was the last straw. Their first mistake started with hiring Bjork. Another POS failure. And did Ole Miss a favor.

It’s a legit paper with an editorial board. I know in the days of blogging that you kinda forget that there are standards, but they could not put that there were death threats without some level of verification or the editor faces great controversy.

The PoS and Texas are trying to do damage control. What a crock of shite

---

Not sure you’re following along. Texas doesn’t need damage control.

1. We got the coach and his staff.

2. He, as well as others in the public now, have affirmed his value as a coach as well as his reasons for leaving. .

3. People may agree with him leaving or not, but coaches do that and those stories don’t last for long.

4. The damage control is on the Aggie side. Y’all are having a hell of a time finding a replacement and Alberts is looking more and more like he’ll have a hot seat before he’s been at ATM for full year.

5. The Aggie smear campaign is pretty obvious to everyone. Even the podcast guys in college sports are getting tired of the aggy crocodile tears. You’d have to split hair follicles to see the difference in how Schloss left ATM and how Elko left Duke and yet the Aggie approach to both situations is literally on hyperbolic ends of the spectrum. No one is buying it, and you guys getting uppity and sanctimonious about it just makes everyone get fatigued with you faster.

6. What they’re about to learn is—y’all don’t give up. They think this will pass for you, but they’re seeing how long you whine and whine and whine about this stuff. Three years from now you’re still gonna be wound up about this and the rest of the world will be screaming at you “Just make it stop”.

It is not just Aggie players

You gotta bring evidence to be taken seriously.

Here’s ATM with the spin cycle. Man Olin is trying so hard here.
