I love the quote from Sonny Dykes. Sounds like something Bum Phillips would have said…

“Dove soap has to be better than the stuff Walmart has because it’s Dove. They’ve got doves on the box, and they have commercials. I think it’s the same way in football. Because School A is a bigger school and School A has more alumni and a bigger stadium and had good football teams in the ’50s, School A is supposed to be better than School B and is always supposed to be. I think that’s just not the way it works.”

I’m excited to be playing TT, TCU, OSU, BYU, and Baylor on a consistent basis.

I liked this part as well:

“If you look at those teams that are going into the Big 12, there are some of those teams that are actually in the Big 12 I can promise you didn’t want to play those four teams,” Dykes said.

One of the most exciting games I ever saw was in the Dome, TCU v UH, and the score was like 44-45, during the Wacker days (WAC Attack days)….I don’t even remember who won (it was like 30 years ago), but it was exciting as hell…

I do, and unfortunately it was after our great defenses. I believe we had set a new record for passing yards only to be broken in the same game by tcu.

You guys who are impressed with Sonny’s interview should have been around when he dad was coaching at Tech. He could have had a day job as a standup comedian.

I thought we had lost and both teams scored in the 50s with both throwing for over 700 yds.
However, my memories of events are no guarantee these days.

I attended the 1990 TCU game in the ‘Dome.

Weeks before I attended the A&M game in the ‘Dome, which I hope to never forget.
