So was Tate Martell but he’s @$$, my dude.

It makes you wonder if Barry finds it funny that there are others born & raised in America who can neither speak OR spell correctly as Adults... Perhaps some of these failures can be traced back to the classroom where certain teachers give far less than a Damn.

The rumblings I'm hearing is that OU regents asked Big XII if they want cash or check...

Wait, wait, wait... Again, I don't come around these parts often, but Barry is a "teacher"? An "educator"? That is sad and disgusting. I was just about to eat lunch, but now I'm nauseous. I will still eat lunch, cuz F*** Barry, but still... ill have to wait a minute.

Bookmark this post... you will never hear me: 1.) Chant S-E-C at any game or on this message board. That will not happen. Ever. 2.) Celebrate the accomplishment of another conference team as our own.

Winner winner, chicken dinner! Barry insults those that are a direct reflection of the failure of his profession! Now that’s funny!!!

I call BS. You’re probably itching for the Academy in Longview to start stocking their “It Just Means More” t-shirts. Just don’t get in ‘Ol DB’s way when they get there.

What would you expect out of this administration--keep the people from making their own decisions. Control the media, control the information, control the people--all in the name of emergency!!!!! Would the democrats have it any other way?

The political forum says hello.

I have read a lot of stupid things on this site, this might take the award for the dumbest statement I have ever seen.

When do the hearings start for all the BLM and Antifa riots?

It's easy to go from the Home page to the forums, but not the other way around. I think more people would regularly check out the Home page if there was a link to it on all the forum pages, kind of a reminder .... just a suggestion

I think I'll need to login using my pc to use the feature. I've not figured out how to work the mouse on my phone yet.

Simms was really pretty good but had a few bad games that were huge. Mack should have redshirted him but I think he caved to the pressure from dad. Especially because Chris had decommitted from Tennessee. There was also a lot of stress between Sims and Applewhite. They were not friends. Chris was a team leader that wanted to hang out with everyone as well as be vocal in off season workouts. Major was more of a frat boy type that had his few guys he hung with but very vocal at game time. Like it or not, Simms played a huge role in bringing in some talented players and that was big to Mack.

As Comedian Ralphie May would have put it, “He was as Stoned as a Biblical ####...”

I saw it coming as soon as I hit send...

I definitely use a lot of the historical section, but the forums are the main things I pay attention to. My only request is bringing back the Smoaky red to the boards!

A proviso on these points: I may actually do both at some point, but please know that it will always be done so in a sarcastic or ironic manner. In fact, it's a pretty good rule of thumb to read everything I post here in a sarcastic tone of voice. Include this sentence. And this one too.

I like Pittman a lot! Arkansas had a solid year in other sports and football looked way better than pre-Pittman that's for sure.

I think of all the talk about her being the "GOAT", and the expectation of her performing well and winning gold, got to her.

What else can I hold on to during our 2-3 win season in football? Things were fine until Petrino decided to crash-off into the sunset. (Note: speaking of pre-Pittman only)

You are an embarrassment to education, teachers, Americans and the human race in general.

I've ventured over to "Saturday Down South" and read the comments and the amount of SEC chest thumping from Missouri, Arkansas, those bottom tier schools is embarrassing. I truly don't get that way of thinking.

He brought a gun to a rock fight....loser

Nice guess .... that poem by Kipling could have been written for Donald Trump .... it fits him very well .... it's one of my favorite poems too .... along with ....

PSA: (Washington Post) New video footage shows how D.C. police officer lost consciousness during attack By Marianna Sotomayor12:46 p.m. New video footage captured by D.C. police officer Michael Fanone and other police officers’ body cameras showed the extent of the danger Fanone was in at the hand of insurrectionists as he pleaded for his life on Jan. 6. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) introduced video that snipped together how Fanone entered the Capitol West Front tunnel in an effort to protect the Capitol before being dragged out and beaten by insurrectionists. Fanone recalled entering the crypt on the Capitol’s first floor with his partner, Jimmy Albright, and seeing throngs of police officers exhausted from defending the door leading to the building’s West Front balcony, where Joe Biden would be inaugurated as president weeks later. In an effort to relieve tired police, Fanone made his way to the front and is seen from another officer’s camera pushing all of his weight against the door frame to prevent insurrectionists from entering. He tried to plea with the protesters, telling them that the door needs to stay closed to protect injured officers, which he said “#### them off.” “That’s when the surge that you watched in some of the video began and you had a large group at the mouth of that tunnel entrance trying to push their way through the officers who were trying to defend it,” Fanone said. “I believe had they done so or had they accomplished that, they would have trampled us to death. Most certainly you would have had police officers killed.” Shortly afterward, he was pulled off the line and dragged outside. Video taken as Fanone was lying on the ground showed several “terrorists,” as he called them, lunging at him. Fanone recalled that they were trying to get his gun and that he heard one man shout, “Kill him with his own gun!” The video then shows blurred movement as a man yells “I’ve got one,” referring to Fanone. It’s at that moment Fanone tries to appeal to the insurrectionists’ humanity by telling them simply, “I have kids.” Moments after, the video shows Fanone being carried inside by some insurrectionists who intervened before he was handed off to police at the front lines. “I need a medic! We need EMTs now!” an officer shouts. “Mike, stay in there buddy,” Albright says as he arrives to help his friend. Fanone testified that based on his body-camera footage it is believed he was unconscious for approximately four minutes. He suffered a minor heart attack and concussion from being beaten and hit with a stun gun by rioters.

I went to Harmony but I did learn 14 is more than 2.

What? Watch that when there’s a rerun of Willy Wonka on? Not in my House.

Ouch. Paid Tom Herman $24 million and the Big XII $76 million just to get out of those contracts. They could've had Jimbo for 13 years for what they're paying in buyouts.

I get the feeling this the last school year in the Big12-2 for em.

I had to learn & recite Kipling’s “IF” way back in about the 8th grade, & like Trashy says, It remains one of my favorite poems.

If only Carthage's defense was merely above average, rather than (potentially) historic.

Will be just a bit more fun and special to see the stands packed like that again this year!

A good summary: "The original revenue sharing agreement in the Big XII was 57%. That was approved not only by Texas but also by Nebraska, A&M, and Colorado, all of whom were doing quite well nationally at the time. Texas' objection to partial qualifiers - for academic reasons - led to Nebraska's fall. When NU duplicitously claimed that Texas hogged revenue, Texas responded by agreeing to split all Tier I and II media revenue equally. Texas still owned its third tier media rights and agreed with ESPN to form the LHN. The fighting over that was overblown, but to the extent it was real, it was about a perceived recruiting edge, not about money - much of which went to academics. Then A&M leaves Texas holding the Big XII bag. As we can see *right now*, this was never about Texas being unfair. It was about opportunity to get away from direct competition with Texas so they could establish an independent reputation for themselves. A&M has long had a similar sized fan base, academics, and alumni giving base as Texas, but they didn't have the on-field success. This isn't because Texas bullied them - it's because Texas has long had the more popular brand in-state and that carried over to recruiting. But times have changed, college football is changing, and Texas/OU have the opportunity to secure the best future for themselves while giving their new conference the power to singlehandedly shape the future of the sport, which will be needed - the NCAA isn't up to the task. I'm not saying that Texas' handlers are angels. But they're no different than other admins. They've just had unique burdens to carry since forever and that has led to enormous scapegoating - which nearly all CFB reporters have swallowed whole without much questioning."

Still got a lot of work to do on the Mav webpage before the season starts....but it's all underway. I've received some outstanding input over the summer. Very excited about some things to come. I brought back the message board for Mav fans (and rivals). I'd like to build it back up again. Always open to new ideas and suggestions. Thanks Mav fans for all the encouragement on the page.

When that happens, I hope we have enough time to diversify the offense enough with Thomas' talent. If we have time to do that, I honestly like our chances against any team in the state including DR.

I think the best player should start, which so far, has been Thomas. When you watch Thomas, he is legit FCS/low FBS talent. He has 1 offer now but I have no doubt in my mind that he'd have more had his season not been shortened. The best way that I can describe it, Allen is a game manager. But Thomas is a game changer. Heck, I'm still of the opinion that our '24 QB Tutt has a bit more to offer than Allen.

Allen isn't making it easy for em though. I have to give it to em, he's a hard worker like Thomas. Just attended another camp out of state today.

Smallville is awesome.....

Pineapple. Mushrooms belong on a pizza, preferably canned or jarred with pepperoni, black olives, and extra cheese.

They sold out for $$$$ on the Global Warming research. Sadly, the “experts” in the Medical Profession have followed suit. I’d bet that the majority of Doctors, in Private, would admit that our street mask don’t help. Certainly not enough to force everyone to wear one. Today heard of a man who died from Covid who’d had the vaccine. Never see that on National News. Yes, he had underlying conditions, but we’re all being told the vaccine will keep you from having serious Covid.

I just wonder if you have to show a Communist Party card before you become a college professor?

You’re fighting a battle where the weapon is reason, and the other person is unarmed. Show mercy!

Global warming has and is total junk science, so the wack jobs that push this has changed the terminology to Climate Change...lol everyone knows the climate changes but these morons think humans have something to do with it.
