I don't much like the cockroaches but I'll be shocked if the B12 referees allow KSU to win that game.

There is a large sentiment that believes this has happened before with your team being the beneficiary.  I'd like to think that it is untrue on any level.

There is a large AGGIE sentiment, for sure.  Color me shocked.  I would hope you'd understand that your fanbase isn't exactly unbiased when it comes to Texas.

I haven't looked historically, but for this year, the numbers are fairly damning. For example, the crew that just finished refereeing the Texas-Baylor game, also refereed the Texas-Oklahoma State game.  In those two games:

Penalties and yards assessed against Texas:

19 penalties, 138 yards

Penalties and yards assessed against the opponents:

1 penalty, 2 yards

OkState averages 3.7 penalties per game and Baylor averages 4.5.  But sure, it makes total sense that they miraculously played nearly perfect football in their games against Texas.

There are also some fairly damning numbers when you look at Offensive Holding penalties called against departing Texas and Oklahoma in B12 play, versus the lack of Holding calls by our opponents in B12 games against our two teams.

The Alabama comes to mind for bad calls going against Texas

Alabama is not very good this  year compared to years past.  I seriously doubt they will get in the CFP, and if they do they will get creamed. 

Doesn't matter.  If you don't think the committee is sitting around looking for reasons to include Alabama, you haven't been paying attention, all the way back to well before the CFPC.  

And it doesn't matter to me if they get whipped.  Just being there, especially in a "down year" is just more recruiting fuel for the dragon to keep terrorizing the countryside.  

utee, I need your eggnog recipe.  Might try my hand at it.  

We still don't get hardly any PromiseLand 'nog over here, which is my all-time favorite.  I've had many homemade versions over the years from people who are proud of it, and while they are better than most store-bought brands, nothing ever hits me like PromiseLand.  BUT, I haven't tried yours.  And I've never made my own.  (Either my mom or wife tried a few years ago and it was pretty 'meh'...whoever it was didn't get a reaction from me that made them want to try again, which was fine by me.)   Maybe a good recipe would get me off to a good start for something to tweak even if it's not my fave.  

I like brandy with my nog
