So just as a fun thought experiment, how much misery would Charlie Strong's Eagle Scouts have to endure before they could theoretically come in to a game wearing Texas uniforms and still be seen as the good guys? Like say next season Texas goes up against a heavily favored Oklahoma team that's starting Joe Mixon among other noted assholes. Could you root for a bunch of squeaky clean woman-respecting underdogs in burnt orange? Or did we pass the point of no return long ago?
I realize I'm biased, but I don't really think anyone cares about drug tests. I mean, I'll give him Meander and Sanders, but everything outside of that is "look at me giving a poo poo about kids smoking weed in Austin!"

I went looking for enrollment figures to answer this question and in the process I found out that the University of Phoenix has the highest enrollment of any university in the US, with over twice as many students as the next-biggest. :negative:

Normally it's not THAT bad, the Mike Rice fuckup really screwed things up last year.

That's what happens when you're spending at Big Ten levels with Big East revenue.

I'm with you on that, and honestly I have second guessed that aspect more than once. I don't consider it a moral issue at all. I frankly hope that super-intensive testing is not a permanent part of this program.

But purely as a football/team issue, I do see how a player who can't or won't put down the pipe during an all-hands-on-deck crisis moment is a liability, especially when given multiple chances and warnings. I don't see it as being very different than someone outright refusing to run laps when the coach says to. Maybe when the coach is getting what he needs from you, he won't make you run so many laps.

Looking cute, feeling cute.
Just realized I was doing this half-assed Texas defense the week they play KU. gently caress a Longhorn, though it'll take suspending/expelling half the rest of the team to make the game even close to competitive.

Beat Oklahoma, though.

I assume it is because they are in a rather unique situation of having 3 revenue sports. Football, men's hoops, and men's hockey. This is however purely speculation. Maybe tickets to Camp Randall are like NFL expensive?

Once again, I have absolutely no idea how to feel about our game tomorrow. It's probably going to be a Big 12-style shootout, so hopefully our defense does just enough and we can escape with a win. Thank god we're at home.

My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.
There is no way Wisconsin breaks $110 M in revenue and donations.

edit - Oh drat, 2013-14 was $112. (page 35.) Lost $17M in gifts compared to the year before, and $2M in concessions when the switched to a new, incredibly horrible vendor.

Athens bros, I was stopped at Milledge because some people were crossing the road and some UGA fratty bros yelled something about buttchugging at some Tennessee fratty bros. I wish I heard the full thing, but I could clearly make out buttchugging. It was beautiful.

Isn't Gold Chrome the best? :allears: Goes better with black than white IMO, though. Baylor did that for our conference opener Vs WVU last year, night game, helmets gleaming under the lights. All-time uni combo as far as I'm concerned.

I have a feeling Starkville will be the better game so that'd be appropriate.

Will maybe revise this feeling after I watch Ole Miss vs Memphis

Nope, it's a paint-like spray silvering process like how mirrors are done but streamlined for commercial use. It's surprisingly common and pretty much any time you see small volume tinted 'chrome' it's one of those systems. I have one for playing around with and it's tricky but great for making tacky garbage
