    where have all the posters gone?

    I just lost my desire to post on here. Rehashing past achievements and bickering with opposing fans ad nauseam isn't my cup of tea.

    I don't know about a&m. Uta was in the news not long ago for a reverse discrimination lawsuit, so I've read a little about uta admissions.

    Admissions policy to UTAustin is set by law. 75% from top 6%, 25% uta gets to choose. If you're not in the top 6% of your graduating class, a perspective student will be competing for one of roughly 2500 slots. Those at large slots are not necessarily selected based on test scores and academic...

    Purely my opinion, the university of houston suffers from perception, they are not a "destination" school in texas. People want to go to the UTAustin, A&M, or one of the costly private schools (ie baylor, rice, smu, etc). Houston is considered a commuter school by many, and doesn't get the alum...

    Ya, so the only med school in UT's system used to be UT Medical Branch at Galveston. El Paso was maybe originally for mining and Ag(?). Now, other locations offer similar studies. UT is actually UT at Austin.

    Yes except the sharing part. A&M, Baylor, etc are not part of UT's system.

    Pederson's Plan A: Mike Sherman

    I've always considered the Meyer response as a cop out. I cringe every time I see this. John Cooper was the head coach at ohio state. Two years after co-winning the conference and finishing #2 in the polls, Cooper was fired. The resemblance between Solich and Cooper firing situation is nearly...

    Is Nebraska

    Does this mean we get a "best 3-4 team" participation trophy?

    Edited post Gophers game = Frick You Scott Frost

    Such a tough loss, just like so many others. I wanted Frost to bring us back to respectable records. A win is win, a loss is a loss. We'll see how the rest of the season plays out.

    Bo Pelini was better at Nebraska than Harbaugh is at Michigan.

    Pellini thought winning 9 games was good. Harbaugh is not content with michigan's record. I thought Harbaugh would do better at michigan, but he hasn't. If the choices are a=pellini, b=harbaugh, I will choose c=somebody else.

    Omaha... I am disappointed in you

    It's two different lifestyles that lead to two different political slants. For example, if you live in the country you take care of your trash. If you live in the city, you rely on someone else to take care of your trash (someone you may never see). Obviously, there's more to living than just...

    Will we have a season?

    I voted "no", but my actual answer is "who knows". Even if a majority of people become confirmed infected, there's still a large number that won't know for certain. Who will go to the games? Which players/parents, coaches, universities will risk it? Hypothetically, if widespread testing shows...

    Covid 5.0

    Maybe I missed some breaking news. Experts say that a majority of Americans will contract the virus. If we practice isolation and distancing we can spread the cases out over time. A majority of Americans will still catch the virus. That is a CDC report. If you don't like it, you can call the CDC...

    Covid 5.0

    From the CDC morbidity report (link) "This first preliminary description of outcomes among patients with COVID-19 in the United States indicates that fatality was highest in persons aged ≥85, ranging from 10% to 27%, followed by 3% to 11% among persons aged 65–84 years, 1% to 3% among persons...
