Big 12 Media Daze (Day 1)

Most of the pay site constituents think Ubben is pure evil by virtue of his hailing from Oklahoma (they have a point there) and not writing at least five glowingly positive articles about UT per week (less so).

Texas has countered a&m’s bold move by sending in Fitzhenry standing on Nkwopara’s shoulders, covered by a giant black trenchcoat. That’s six now, motherfuckers!

Tony Jerrod-Eddie has that nice “three first name” ring to it.

Hyphenated names are an announcement to all you meet that you come with baggage.

No Bo. No Pirate. No Mangini. No “go play intramurals brother.”

Remember when this was exciting? Mike Gundy would have to go into serious melt down mode to make up for the loss of the others.

We are clearly falling behind the SEC in this important area. No Les Miles, no Houston Nutt, etc. The SEC is deep enough that it can lose the turkey inseminator and still provide entertainment, The Big12-2? Not so much. As ut-06 said, Gundy cannot be expected to carry the media days all on his own.

I think Pinkel, Briles, and Sherman could bore the paint off a lamp post. Sheesh.

OKC radio station interview with Mack.

Quick recap if you can’t listen to the clip:

Mack falls on the knife for 5-7.

Reaffirms QB position is truly wide open.

Harsin runs a two back offense with a lot of shifting and motion. lots of power running, deep balls, and trick plays (LonghornScotts nods knowingly).

We’re still not great. Coaching matters. it’s a fun challenge. clap clap.

Clap! Clap!
Good Kids, Good Families
We’re Texas
Clap! Clap!

Clap, clap, bitches.

Vasherized, I think Ubben went to Mizzou, but he tries to play it neutral.

Correct, here’s the bio. He’s from Arkansas, went to Mizzou, and worked for the Oklahoman.

joined ESPN.com in March 2010 after covering Big 12 football for two seasons at the Columbia Missourian and The Oklahoman. Ubben, a native of Springdale, Ark., lives in Dallas. (ESPN.com).

Does Ubben have any relation to David St. Hubbins (Spinal Tap)? Just wonderin’.

ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……………….

Huh? Wha’? Mah hair!

MMMmmmffffffff… ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……………….

Clap clap!!

He matriculated with us.

As I understand it, if you rap Ubben on the head in just the right spot, out pops three gold coins.

Day 2 – Bob Stoops just said:

“Either we recruit by the same rules or we don’t.”

It was in reference to LHN, but the barn door is now open….

I hope we have long memories about all of this. I’d like to see some public declarations concerning unfair recruiting practices from our side now.

Stolen from elsewhere – Princess Bride revisited.

A&M: All right. Which conference do we pick? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both sign, and find out who is right… and who is hosed.

tu: But it’s so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of school who would choose it’s own destiny or follow his enemy’s? Now, a clever school would choose it’s own destiny, because they would know that only a great fool would reach for what they were given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the contract in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the contract in front of me.

A&M: You’ve made your decision then?

tu: Not remotely. Because your contract comes from the SEC, as everyone knows, and the SEC is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the contract in front of you.

A&M: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

tu: Wait till I get going! Now, where was I?

A&M: SEC.

tu: Yes, SEC. And you must have suspected I would have known the contracts origin, so I can clearly not choose the contract in front of me.

A&M: You’re just stalling now.

tu: YOU’D LIKE TO THINK THAT, WOULDN’T YOU?!?!? You’ve beaten ESPN, which means you’re exceptionally strong, so you could’ve chosen the contract from the B12-2, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the contract in front of you. But, you’ve also bested my Longhorn Network, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that is gave me an unfair advantage, so you would have put the B12-2 contract as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the contract in front of me.

A&M: You’re trying to trick me into giving away something. It won’t work.

tu: IT HAS WORKED! YOU’VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE CONTRACT YOU ARE GOING TO SIGN IS!

A&M: Then make your choice.

tu: I will, and I choose – What in the world can that be?

[tu gestures up and away from the table. A&M looks. tu swaps the contracts]

A&M: What? Where? I don’t see anything.

tu: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter. First, let’s sign. Me on my contract, and you on yours.

A&M: You guessed wrong.

tu: You only think I guessed wrong! That’s what’s so funny! I switched contracts when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders – The most famous of which is “never get involved in a land-theft war with Oklahoma” – but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go against a t-sip when money and unfair advantages are on the line”! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha…

[tu stops suddenly, his smile frozen on his face and falls to the ground …hosed]

tceh, gaylor, Okie-lite: And to think, all that time we thought you were bluffing for more money.

A&M: Nope. You *****es enjoy the WAC, ya’ hear.

What the fuck was that?

“What the fuck was that?”

unfunny

If DeLoss Dodds (representing Texas) and Bill Byrne (for A&M) sat across from each other at a table in a battle of wits, I have a feeling it wouldn’t be Dodds/UT having the brain freeze and falling over.

Dodds brain freezes – LHN loses HS games.
