Big 12 Discussion Thread

Sorsby won't be the QB for them next season. They are going to fold. The entire sports world outside their fanbase is against them. The entirety of college football is already working on ways to punish them. Allowing this kid to play is going to do long term damage.

 

[Wild Bill]

The end result for Tech is the same whether Sorsby starts at QB or some random asshole from this board. They're running the table in the Big 12 and then getting the soul beaten out of them in the playoffs.

Keeping Sorsby is like trying to save a marriage to a whore. The ending doesn't change - you're just deciding how much embarrassment you want before the divorce.

Worse yet, Tech has money so they can just marry a younger prettier whore next year.

You’re right dude. It’s not murder, we should totally let gambling on the team you’re playing for go.

No way, no WAY AT ALL could that lead to problems. Never. Nope.

I need them to play Sorsby and then he just kind of sucks and they go 7 and 5 or 8 and 4.

That would be perfect.

Yesterday the message was "the court said he could play! What are we supposed to do!?!"

Today it is "look hes getting help. And while he shouldn't have done it...what punishment would even be appropriate? Certainly not a ban!"

They will try twisting themselves every which way before conceding here. Which will just make it more embarrassing like Wild Bill said.

Watch them ditch Sorsby and throw enough money at Darian Mensah that he bolts from Miami, contract be damned. That'd be the ultimate villian move here.

YEAH! AT LEAST HE'S NOT OJ SIMPSON!
WTF, Texas Tech?!

The only major public school in Texas that nobody hated is now Public Enemy #1.

And I dont think they can even fix it by cutting ties with the guy.

POY quality right there gentlemen.

For playing a player after being deemed ineligible by the NCAA?

Sorsby was deemed ineligible in May. He's now eligible.

On the addiction thing I get hooked often. I did/do play a lot of online chess. I played a lot of live poker at the cultural mecca of Greektown Detroit. I am glad I wasn't this age when the game involves no travel at all, has no time limit, is right in your pocket at any time.

 

[NDhoosier]

I hate "mental health" being used here. Mental Health is constantly misused in today's society in a way to avoid any criticism. They are trying to gain sympathy for him as a poor little student who is suffering from mental health... give me a break.

 

[pumpdog20]

He's going to play, simply due to the fact that TT defense is going to be "we are following a legal injunction, you guys have to as well".

 

[jerseyborn1971]

CFP committee should leave them out even when they are 12-0. Their OOC schedule is Abilene Christian, Oregon State and Samer Houston State. Indiana even thinks that's a weak out of conference schedule.

Updated NCAA 2027 in light of the Sorsby issue

The letter sent by Paxton is just the cherry on top. I wonder how much Cody promised him for his senate campaign. An 8 month "injunction" is just absolutely insane and our legal system is broken.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Before all these legal challenges of NIL and eligibility are done, SOMEONE is eventually going to go to jail for bribery.

 

[greyhammer90]

If he plays whoever plays Tech in the playoffs is going to have the weight of the country on their shoulders to beat the piss out of them lol

 

[jerseyborn1971]

Don't be shocked if this kid gets hit with cheap shots all year. If ever there was someone to tee off on and have 99.9% of fans either celebrating it or turning away, it's this kid. I can't remember the last time there was a player that is going to be this hated.

Takes some commitment to the bit to spread the donations around to multiple family members.

I hope it's not that cheap to buy an Attorney General.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

He's the most corrupt politician in Texas. Was impeached by his own party for fraud. An absolute scumbag. The BIg 12 should suspend them the Friday before the first conference game. BY the time they go to court to get an injuction, it will be too late. They might even miss 2 games. Can't replay them because of schedules.

For Paxton, a lot of it is just corruption for the love of the game

 

[thekid33]

Texas is like FIFA and the IOC having a baby levels of corrupt.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

I'm legit surprised the UT powers that be in Texas haven't gotten in the mix to fight them yet.

And probably headed to the United States Senate in January. Cool. Cool.

If ND gets on the field with Texas Tech, I hope they piss pound them into roadkill.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

I actually think he might actually lose. It's neck and neck right now. UT fans might actually put the other guy over the top since this TTU shit and McConaughey likes him too.

UT likes to do their best Don Draper “I don’t think about you at all” when it comes to any other football program in Texas.

What's doubly crazy is that the Big 12 could just move their HQ out of the conference with a 75% vote. They can do anything with a 75% vote. They could even disband the whole thing with a 75% vote. It's a voluntary association of schools. And there is precedent for kicking someone out of a conference, it happened with Temple in the early 00s because the Big East thought they were hurting the competitiveness of the conference on the field and saw the writing on the wall of what could (and eventually did) happen to the conference.

But move the HQ to Kansas City + change the venue for cases from Dallas to literally anywhere not in Texas....... and there is nothing Ken Paxton or Cody Fuckface can do. Any suit would involve multiple states and get escalated to federal court. So the idea that TT has any leverage or that these threats are worth anything is ludicrous.

Ken Paxton could not be an uglier man. He looks like if Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre got fat. Seriously, if the guy got into shape he could reprise the role in a reboot without doing any hair or makeup.

No wonder he had to steal that other lawyer's pen. I wouldn't share mine either if the guy sitting across from me looked like he was trying to cover up his leprosy. I'd be terrified of catching what afflicts his face.

His wife left him under "biblical grounds" for committing "adultery" in their marriage. It took me a while to put together the fact that the "biblical grounds" she was referring to was an homage to Jesus cleansing lepers as noted in the Gospels... Ken obviously misread the Gospels and instead decided he was going to bang the leper, and caught something nasty.

Paxton makes Mads Mikkelsen's Le Chiffre in Casino Royale look like Ryan Gosling in The Notebook... Talarico might be a vegan and that's definitely going to turn some Texans off, but Paxton legitimately looks like he eats humans and is suffering the side effects. Fuck, I'd take Soy Boy.

The conferences are all disgraceful.
