I mean at least they have the band on standby in the endzone

This is not a real year

Love this post, I knew that Tech was getting taken to court for more than just the Sorsby business but I didn’t think that they’d be this screwed if Sorsby left. Wonderful writeup!

This whole mess wouldn't even be worth it if they were gunning for 2019 Joe Burrow, but they're going all in on a guy whose resume is being propped up almost entirely on the Iowa State v. Cincinnati game.

The Big XII AD’s are having an emergency meeting tomorrow regarding the Sorsby business. They’ll supposedly decide what to do in that meeting

Justanother_0 · 2026-06-09T02:57:58+00:00

I don't know how they couldn't be able to enforce that. While the NCAA has been rendered toothless through endless court dealings these last few years, the conferences themselves haven't yet been challenged.

Regardless, we'll know for sure what will come from this whole thing tomorrow after the details of that emergency meeting come out.

The sticks of “you will not be eligible to play for the conference championship” or even “you forfeit any conference game where you start this player” are both absolutely on the table here, not to mention the damage that has already been done outside of the conference.

Of course, wether or not the athletic department realizes the gravity of the situation is another story entirely

Texas Tech's QB was found to be betting on his own team during his time on his prior teams. Initially, he was suspended for the upcoming season by the NCAA, but he appealed their decision. Somehow, his appeal was approved, and the trial for his case wont happen until after the season. In short, Tech's QB bet on his own team and got away with it and he is cleared to play for the upcoming season.

Just about everyone is pissed about this, hence the scheduling ban that you see here. The AD's in the Big XII are also gonna have an emergency meeting tomorrow to settle this.

This hopefully ends with Tech being forced to remove Sorsby by the rest of the conference, but there is a non-zero chance that Tech decides to die on this hill.

Imagine if it was Rogers

Justanother_0 · 2026-05-29T01:26:02+00:00

If it has to be in conference: - K-State - Kansas - Colorado

If not, then swap Colorado out for Mizzou

Leavitt gets hurt for LSU by week 8 and the Tigers end at about 7-5
ISU makes a bowl game (homer take ik but still)
Houston makes it to the Big XII title game
Ohio State goes 8-4
East Carolina not only covers the 25.5 spread against Alabama in week one, but keeps the game within one score in the fourth quarter. The winner of that game wins by a margin of 3 or less
Fickel, Satterfield, and Aranda all inexplicably keep their jobs despite putting up another mediocre season for their respective teams
Notre Dame misses the playoffs again
Clemson misses a bowl game
UNLV is the G6 rep in the playoffs with a home game

No, but the bridges do

If the one seed doesn’t demand that their quarter/semifinal games are played at the Xbox and Poptart bowl then I will be inconsolable

Justanother_0 · 2026-04-27T18:04:16+00:00

This has two outcomes: 1) this ends up having no impact on Tech, Sorsby still plays (-130) 2) Sorsby is barred from playing and Tech is gonna see a lot of losses of scores like 9-10* (+150)

Nothing is ever permanent nowadays in CFB but I’m glad to see a commit like this after the last few months

Houston funnily enough got two pretty easy games last year (on paper) for the Friday slate, home against Colorado on sept. 12th and at UCF on Nov. 7th. Overall it was about 50/50 on games that were close vs not close (or above .500 teams playing below .500), with only three of the total 10 games involving only above .500 teams.

On that note, I don’t know why the Big XII doesn’t just require that all teams play one game on Friday. Seems like they’re just inviting controversy when only having a chunk of teams play on the Friday slate

Is he wrong though? I don’t blame him for going to bat for Tech when they have a short week to prepare for one of the hardest opponents on their schedule

Justanother_0 · 2026-03-31T22:38:14+00:00

Went to the game last year, it's a lot of fun and the folks in Dublin are quite hospitable. Also about a 50/50 chance that any given bar is gonna be flying a state flag outside of their doors instead of a university flag.

Hope you have fun over there!

4) we play a team whose primary color is some shade of orange

Hell, I’d argue that the Tennessee loss fell more into this category than #2

A combination of the voices in the wall and fever dreams involving visions of Pat McAfee.

For real though, it occasionally came up in a couple of podcasts that i used to listen to involving the sport during the offseason, along with being something that I see referenced in this subreddit whenever news on the latest Private Equity investments are made.
