Once again, congratulations from going from an average to below average team in the Big 12 to "world beaters" in that powerhouse of conference known as the SEC*!

Nike does retain, under its current deal, to match any other offers. I was told right after UA's initial bid that Nike wasn't close to crying uncle at that number.

It appears the exclusive negotiation period between Nike and UT will expire at midnight tonight. This will open up the bidding to all shoe companies, although this appears to be shaping up to be a Nike/Under Armour battle, #1 & 2 in the sports apparel business now. A few months ago, UA fired a shot across the bow by "offering" the Longhorns $150 million over 10 years. At the time, UA was paying the richest deal when they signed Notre Dame to a 10 year/$90m deal. However, when Nike regained the Michigan contract from Adidas with a $169m/11 year deal late this summer, the price of poker went up. I predict the Texas deal may reach $20 million a year. Looks like the shoe boys pay a little more to the flagships...

Time to hang another banner?!

It's not about me being right. The tape doesn't lie. That's what great about the video age. We can see things with our own eyes. To explain otherwise is as asinine as making it a race issue (which I never referenced in the quote you provided). Then again, if I had the time or inclination, I could probably fill up several pages of a thread on the retarded things stated on TexAgs in any given 24 hr window...

that was an obvious joke. You can read lips and tell he said what dozens of coaches say every weekend (right or wrong) and don't get flagged for...especially with the game on the line. Craig Way is correct in his call on the video - you just don't make that call. What is clear is that Strong was walking away, the official pursues him, and bumps the coach, after which he immediately throws the flag. BUT, it's not the bump (that he initiated) that drew the flag? Of course they are going to say that. How could you not once you are shown to have caused the contact? Regardless, the director of officials no longer has the reins here.

In all fairness, a lot of the time they spend watching The Longhorn Network is due to "accidentally" hitting the remote, and it lands on the channel. 2 hours later, they figure out how to change it back to the SEC Network. I heard that here...

I think the wheels are already in motion. Especially the for the guy who bumped Strong.

I wonder.... Relax - just having some fun with you :D

QB is awful. Coach tells QB to stop sucking. QB continues to suck. Disciplinary suspension.

Looked awesome. Wish I had gone the year we played there but had a prior commitment. I will say from the game in Austin, Ole Miss does have way above average "co ed talent." Another reason they are now Hillbilly Tech.

As I said, I will admit we've gotten more than our fair share of calls over the years. And this was a game that had far less implications than in many of those. In fact, I recall a fumble into the end zone that wasn't called (or reversed) in Stillwater a few years back that won the game for my Horns...

No worries - I didn't either. And during the game, in normal speed, looked exactly like Strong bumped him. Couldn't believe he lost it to that point (I would have but expect him to have more decorum than me).

Wow. Thanks for sharing. You're right about gold. And from now on, Ole Miss is Hillbilly Texas Tech.

That was Kelly's call. I can assure you he is way ahead of the curve. As he would be at most schools, including Silsbee ;)

I know we have a reputation for getting all the calls. And I admit for good reason in many instances. But this game was unlike any I have seen. As for Charlie bumping the ref, I would ask who initiated the contact? I will give you a hint...the conference office doesn't believe it was Strong. And they are right (see end of video below). This dude's punishment ought to be a fist shoving match with Chuckie. No gloves. [Hidden Content]

gotcha. Thanks for the insight.

That kid doesn't need tutoring at Central. I am betting on honor graduate. Speaks at least 3 languages fluently (including English) and is exceptionally bright.

I mean, he may be the first person I've ever seen improve their looks by putting on 150 bills and growing a porn 'stache....

seriously though - is he serious with that portrait behind him? That alone was video gold...

In all fairness, I didn't have the volume up on my phone. I saw he was wearing a Mississippi aggy shirt. But the fact he had the glamour shot portrait in the background and a cowbell made me think he might be a gomer trolling Mississippi aggy....

For clarification, is the guy in the video aggy or Mississippi aggy? Tough to tell...

And, by the way, the same exact comment made to Cam will be said about 50 times each this season to Deangelo Russell and Emanuel Mudiay by NBA refs. It's the way it's always worked and always will. Let's just get it over with and put lacy, bedazzled jerseys on all NFL QBs.

Chalk mine up to ADHD. By the time I was 6 posts in, I couldn't even remember which 2 WRs were being originally discussed...

Seriously, is he juicing at 64? He makes Jack Lalane look like a wuss.
