Again, that only explains why a MERGER didn’t take place.
It doesn’t explain why, after a merger didn’t take place, Baylor still got pushed in over UH.
That’s 100% Bob Bullock.
Make no mistake about that.
The networks only wanted UT and aTm. Bullock FORCED them to take the other two, one of which was a church school whose interests he put AHEAD of the State (UH).
Well?
Whatever changes ARE made, I just hope they don’t sacrifice the Coog’s ability to stop the opponent’s run game.
I do see some changes coming from how our LB’s corps approach the future games. This is on them to recognize the opposing offense. As you know there is a must connection between Defensive Coaches and these key players. They are the Defense QB’s. Was it Defense vanilla last weekend? The UCF game will tell us if this was or not. Bad tackling, inability to intercept is for training and tape learning or back to basics. We have the perfect HC for that.
What is the matter with you? Why is it that you can’t write that uta was the primary driving force above everyone else on this? They are responsible for Arkansas leaving years too. You just can’t help it.
No one says that UT (not UTA, again, you sound dumb for saying it wrong, just like the Aggies do when they say “TU” and think they are being cute) wasn’t the driving force behind breaking up the conference, and preventing a full on merger with the Big 8.
But they WERE NOT the driving force behind UH being later left out in favor of a dang Church school (Baylor).
That was 100% Bob Bullock, who had no loyalty to UT or aTm. He had loyalty to his CHURCH SCHOOL alma mater, and he used his power to threaten and force UT and aTm to bring that dang Church school along with them, completely disregarding his fiduciary duty to UH, which was an executive branch agency to which he owed an obligation.
Everybody here knows that EXCEPT you, apparently.
Not sure why that seems so hard for you to accept, because it’s a well-documented FACT that literally BOOKS have been written about (and quoted here, even on this string).
By the time Baylor got forced in, the “merger” ship had sailed.
At that point, the networks were cool with taking only UT and aTm. Only Bullock’s threats against those two schools forced Baylor and Tech in as well.
Where he screwed up is that he should have made the very same threats against UT and aTm, except on behalf of Tech and UH…NOT Tech and Baylor.
Picking Church (Baylor) over State (Houston) was the ultimate UNFORGIVABLE crime as a leader in the Exec. Branch, one for which Bullock will always be damned in my mind.
Again, I’m glad that the NEXT time around, our executive branch leaders (Abbott and Patrick), got it right.
You just can’t help it…
What is it that you can’t understand that Baylor and TTech were never a threat to uta, never.
BUT BULLOCK WAS A THREAT TO BOTH!!!
He had the power to threaten and did indeed threaten to cut off their state funding if they didn’t take Tech and Baylor as well.
That’s why UT and aTm backed down and took those two with them, when before that, they were content to leave by themselves.
I’d have been cool with that, had he threatened to cut off their funding if they didn’t take Tech and UH with them. But he didn’t.
Instead, he used his power to force in a CHURCH school (his alma mater, Baylor), over a STATE school (UH, to which he owed a fiduciary duty as a top exec).
Unforgivable.
Again…you may be the only one here that doesn’t get that.
Just trying to get back on track. 
A few months ago you displayed to all of us that 2 + 2 does not equal four.
You are doing the same thing over again.
What is it that you do not understand that uta NEVER wanted U of H?
This was uta’s pre requisite for a new BIG12. You clearly have not read what the Kansas President explained what was taking place during these conversations and meetings. If U of H had been invited uta was threatening to cease all BIG12 discussions. They told the BIG8 which schools would make the BIG12. It was a take it or leave it.
One more time and hopefully the last time. uta’s new BIG12 pre requisite was for UH to not be included.
How are we doing on the IR for this weekend?
They never wanted Tech or Baylor EITHER. So what’s YOUR point?
Everybody else’s point, including MINE is, Bullock FORCED UT and aTm to take Tech and Baylor with them against their wishes.
AND…more importantly…
He did that when he SHOULD have forced UT and aTm to take Tech and UH (NOT Baylor) against their wishes, because those were the two state universities to which he owed a fiduciary duty.
Instead, he put the interests of CHURCH (Baylor) over the interests of the STATE (UH).
UNFORGIVABLE.
And TOTALLY on him, NOT UT or aTm.
Glad our current execs got it right THIS time around.
Is there any part of that … which you DON’T understand?
Because I’m pretty sure everybody here EXCEPT you does.
Baylor got into the Big 12 at the time they did PURELY because of Bob Bullock.
PERIOD
FULL STOP.
Had nothing to do with UT or aTm except to the extent that they were forced to do something they didn’t want to because of Bullock.
P.S. Would you mind telling us why you keep saying “UTA” when referring to a school other than UT-Arlington? No one else here does it, and it’s about as silly as the Aggies calling UT “TU.”
takes notes lmao
Yep, this is another case of 2 + 2 does not equal 4 for you.
You are either a troll or …
U of H not being part of the BIG12 was a pre requisite.
bullock was nothing, zero, nada vs what uta wanted. He got in Texas Tech and Baylor so what? Don’t ever write that bullock choose Texas Tech and Baylor over UH. He never did. He never had that power to include UH over TTech or Baylor. One more time UH in the BIG12 was a non starter. uta is 100% to blame for this.
Yes contrary to what law wants you to believe 2 + 2 = 4.
Moderator:
This discussion about the non inclusion into the BIG12 has no place in this thread. Please move it somewhere else. It is utterly pointless. Thank you.
Oh yes he was!
They didn’t WANT Tech or Baylor, or anyone except UT and aTm.
Bullock FORCED them to take Tech and Baylor when they didn’t want to, when he should have used his power to force them to take Tech and UH, our STATE universities, instead.
That was his fiduciary duty, and he failed.
And if you can’t understand that, which you apparently can’t, then it is YOU that have a problem now knowing or understanding what 2 + 2 equals.
Everyone else here gets it.
Moderator: let the record reflect that he and others brought it up, not I.
I’m sorry if everyone except 92010 gets it. I and others can explain it to him, but that won’t make up for his lack of ability to understand.
Is there a drug out there that cures diarrhea of the mouth? If so, I wish someone would post it so a certain someone might take it.
By the by The Aggies do not refer to UT as TU.
They say tu.
Little letters.
Ah!
Point taken!
Again though, still just as foolish to call them by UT-Arlington’s initials.
