Texas to TAMU: Sorry, schedule is full

[BrntO4Life]

Making it sound as if A&M leaving hurts Texas.

False. The only thing it hurts is Texas' ability to give the LHN a few years to build itself up. It hurts the B12, but nobody really gives a shit about that.

They are doing it because they want to stick it to A&M but might end up looking dumb.

Maroon-colored glasses, IMO. Maybe they want to stick it to A&M (I'm sure it's at least a small part of it), but there is a 0% chance this ever makes Texas "look dumb". There's no need to play that game ever, history be damned.

I was surprised that A&M actually still wants to play them with SEC schedule they will have. I'm sure we will play them again if OU leaves, since they don't care about Red River SO...lol.

I'm not surprised. B/CS is the epicenter of human delusion.

As for Texas and the idea that "they don't care about the Red River", you couldn't be more wrong. In terms of rivalries, the RRS is the only one the Texas athletic department actually cares about.

Again, enjoy your move to the SEC, but there's no need to be petulant about the grass your team is leaving behind.

The difference is that Notre Dame never has a week off.

For most programs, the likes of Tulsa and Navy are weeks off.

Ok. And you don't think bringing up ND playing Wake, Temple, or UCONN is a tired comeback? Are Wake and UCONN top tier programs? No. But they've both been to BCS games in the last 5 years. NW St, Towson, Western Kentucky haven't been there and won't be there any time soon.

:lol:

That's like saying "VINCE YOUNG IS GOOD BECAUSE HE MADE THE PRO BOWL". Both are mediocre programs and making a BCS bowl is really not much of a feat anymore.

I am not trying to say that Sun Belt or FCS teams are worthy opponents. They aren't, and I'd prefer LSU not play them ever. But even with the occasional cupcake opponent, it's still one of the ten toughest schedules you can find in CFB every year. So why should I care that Notre Dame has to play three or four "name" opponents? As they should, I say.

They won't even play us in Volleyball. As far as the RVS, I was referring to Stoops saying he
could go without playing Texas every year.

I guess that's what South Carolina thought during the week they prepared for Navy. You're asking for trouble if you don't take a triple option team seriously defensively.

No it's not like saying that at all. Wake Forest and UCOINN won conferences to get in. Vince Young was voted in by the fans.

Terrible comparison to draw.

Furthermore I wasn't making that big a deal of it but comparing ND scheduling "token" BCS schools that have actually made BCS bowls to scheduling the likes of NW ST, Towson, and Western Kentucky is laughable. If you can't see the distinction I don't know what to tell you.

Duh.

They aren't, and I'd prefer LSU not play them ever. But even with the occasional cupcake opponent, it's still one of the ten toughest schedules you can find in CFB every year. So why should I care that Notre Dame has to play three or four "name" opponents? As they should, I say.

No one is saying you should "care", but taking shots at playing Temple, UCONN, Wake, etc is pretty retarded to do when they are at least BCS eligible schools when LSU is scheduling double directional FCS teams

Is Notre Dame schedule on a year in year out basis as tough as LSU's has been recently? No. But I really don't care. ND's schedule is more than tough enough where I really don't think a game or two a season against a "token" BCS team is that big of a deal. All I'm worried about is if ND is as good as those teams at the top..and they will be sooner than later. At that point the SOS becomes moot because they will be playing upper tier teams in bowl games, and even during the regular season like they are the next 5-6 seasons.

Fun stat(feel free to double check). According to the Saragin rankings; since 2000 Notre Dame's avg SOS is about 20. LSU 28.

Fun stat ... Notre Dame has lost most of those games. No wonder you guys consider it to be brutal.

Never argued or implied otherwise. So that is besides the point.

I think the point is that JayRock is scared for Notre Dame to schedule Texas because he considers Tulsa a tough game.
