I generally agree with the Hookster too, except that I’d consider Tennessee in the tenuous helmet, or maybe tennuous helmet, category.  

True they haven’t done squat in 20 years but they’re still clinging to top 10 numbers in various categories.

I guess that’s the question.  How long does a helmet school have to suck before they lose the helmet?

Tennessee has a lot of wins but a very pedestrian winning percentage.   Not a helmet.

They can pretend to be a helmet much like a green crayon is often found in the little four packs of crayons haggard waitresses give to rowdy kids in cheap roadside cafes but just like everybody knows green isn't really a primary color, everybody knows Tennessee isn't really a helmet school.  It just thinks it is.

You give Tennessee a spot at the table where does it stop?

Next thing you know Wofford will think it belongs at the table.

Next thing you know people will be screwing chickens in church.

Best to nip heresies in the bud.  Nip it.  Nip it.  Nip it good.

Colorful post primo, and hard to argue with.

But ...

If there’s a meme for that chicken thing, please forgive me, but I don’t wanna see it.

It comes from an old Bob Einstein joke.  Sometime when I'm not at the office on their computer, I'll reiterate the joke.

Here we are coming up on "Rivalry Week."  Seems like a cruel joke when it comes to the B12.  This weekend used to mean UT playing A&M, often on Thanksgiving night, and OU playing Oklahoma State, with Nebraska playing Colorado.  And before that,back in the old Big8, obviously Nebraska and OU played during Rivalry Week.



Now I'm forced to attempt to look forward to things like the Egg Bowl and the Apple Cup and the Civil War.  It's not the same...

It's pretty cool, I get to watch a ton of volleyball and baseball games I wouldn't otherwise see.

Change is hard.
I imagine the peasants of France and England felt much the same way in the years following the Hundred Years War.
They were probably like, "I remember the Battle of Crecy, the Battle of Poitiers and the Battle of Castillion.  Nobody ever fights anymore.  It's not like it used to be.  It's just a cruel joke."

But hey at least we sent those mofos out of the Big 12 with a boot in their asses.

First here are the Horns saying “goodbye to A&M” with that memorable game winning field goal on their turf:

Then the Sooners saying so long Huskers.  Skip to about the last two minutes to see OU convert a 4th and 1, kick the winning FG, and then stuff the Huskers with successive sacks to ice the game:

don't forget the A&M vs UNL game on the Husker's way out in 2010

16 penalties for 145 yards

Big 12 leadership showing true colors

Aggies.  I’ll have to admit that while I miss the Huskers in the Big 12, I don’t miss A&M.

Aggies are a different sort for sure

I don't blame the Aggies, I blame the conference leadership

the demise of the newly created conference was it's horrible leadership

and I'm not impressed with it's leadership yet today, but leadership is easy to criticize
