Texas, Oklahoma talk to SEC about joining league

The last time Texas got a wandering eye for another conference it fueled a series of realignments in college sports that nearly killed the Big 12.

"That's when the WHORES start comin in!"

Long term, I expect the conference model to break down and make way for a league setup similar to the NeFL.

4 divisions in each conference made up of the remaining/surviving school teams from the old conferences. SEC East and West split between the conferences, plus ACC's 2, and the Eastern BIG10 and BIG 12 teams make up the other. Maybe ND and one other are added.

In the Western conference, SEC West, PAC12 2, and Leftwestern BIG10 combines with Western Big 12 for the other. Maybe BYU and TCU added somewhere.

The bad thing is that some may not be included in the expansion uninvited to the party so to speak. Maybe they'll add a 5th division to each conference made up of the rest of the best competitors from the WAC, MAC, etc...

I don't know why I am posting this will go this way. I'm caring less and less about sports as the days go on. Just thought this would be the model so someday someone can say, "You DID NOT call this." ....because no one will remember I posted this. Lol

I make my own using organic whole milk. Organic whole lasts on average about 18-21 days past the expiration on the carton. They were recently just $3.39 each. Haven't purchased any this month to know if the price has changed. The flavor of the organic was better, imo. More like what milk tasted like when I was a kid. Jfyi. Prices on that will probably go up as well.

Do you churn it?

 

[Girthang]

Do you churn it?

I drink it and use it in recipes.

 

[blubo]

I drink it and use it in recipes.

But how do you make your own buttermilk?

 

[Girthang]

Sorry. Couldn't help myself.

Sort of churn it. Had planned on buying an antique churn from my sister, but she passed unexpectedly and her dk husband sold all of her stuff or burned it within weeks of her passing. So, I mix it a different way, powered by pure and undiminished spite (not really, but I could) either slowly or if needed in a hurry for a recipe, through low temp cooking to speed up the reaction.

I use lemon juice to initiate the reaction.

 

[Girthang]

Looks more like peanut butter fudge. I think I will substitute peanut butter fudge for that French confection.

Absolutely

This post got me thinking "What is the actual difference between "Organic" milk and regular milk"? So I googled it:

The only thing that I found was that it is heated a lot higher which would make it more intensely processed, so the term "organic" is misleading. But it would also explain why the shelf life is longer. But at 280˚F you are going to change some of its structure so again the term "organic" is misleading.

One of my friends has a massive milking operation and all the cows do is eat grass and grain and get milked. I guess the local distributor just does the standard pasteurization and homogenization.

I checked the price at WalMart in Bowling Green for "Organic" milk and it is $5.87; so you are getting a real bargain.

 

[Girthang]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 74°F and clear. 40% rain chance. Today's high may reach 92°F. More temps in the mid-to-high 90s on the way beginning this weekend.

Austin reverted back to stage-4 COVID status because infections are rising. We'll start wearing masks indoors again. Stay tuned on how this new status affects our return to the office.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Time to turn the tables and quarantine the big cities run by the left. If we isolate the people that don't believe in gendered bathroom, secure voting, and deodorant, and let everyone else use antivirals to fight (wait for it)..... viruses..., leave their house maskless to get sunshine and fresh air, and visit their loved ones so that they live or die in the company of the same, I think it may be a win/win.

True conservatives, true constitutionalists and issues based moderates with any common sense and logical thinking, please quietly leave these cities in an orderly fashion and join us in the country for a few months. Once the cities realize all they have is gov employees, retail customer service, and servers to run things, with only rooftop gardens to feed the disenfranchised masses, maybe they'll come to their senses.

Of course this isn't going to happen. The left needs everyone else to pay for the left's agenda. They need conservatives to feed the poor and put food on their table (which will be destroyed and wasted once the left gets its way). Country after country. Fascism after fascism. Devolution after devolution....

At least our immigration problems will end, because no one will want to come here once the rest of the country looks like Portlanezuela.

Interesting. Stupid me thought that the 'organic' in 'organic milk' was where the cows were allowed to graze free in the fields. Think that's what the organic in organic eggs or meat is about. Personally I pay no attention to organic myself....just think some of it is just another gimmick to increase price.

Had an uncle when I was young who had a large dairy farm in S. Ky. Remember when he had the automatic milkers (or whatever they're called) put in. Used to love going there to visit.

Good afternoon D, just got done mowing and it is hot!!!! Still have the calfsmog here in the Berg!

Bert for the life of me I cannot think of any more names, only one for washington, is wasshiton.

Still thinking about my tank COMMANDER, a funny story about him, we were at Fort Hood out one night for training and it was a cool night so of course Griff being the TC he got top pick to where he was going to sleep and of course he got in the tank where it was warmer. Later on one of our crew members decided he was going in the tank and knocked a tow pin off and hit Griff in the head, the funny part was it had already hit him, then he yells look out!!!

Hope the D has a great day!!! Prayers

I went on a mission to find me some whole milk that was unprocessed (straight from the cow). I found some at a small grocery store. It was $12 a gallon. Had to pass.

Us old guys' parents tried to warn us back in the 50s. But did we listen? Noooooo. And look at how things have turned out today. We allowed the camel to get its nose in the tent.

Yeap, the tree huggers like to drink milk and eat beef that has never been given a shot of antibiotics. I always questioned why you would want to eat "infected" meat.

The milk cows around here roam hundreds of acres. They are never restricted to the barn as someone would then have to go out and cut the grass, bale it or some how get it back to the barn. The cows will go out on their own and will come back exactly when the farmer is ready to milk them.

Cows are herd animals and are easily trained. Our cows would always line up and go to the same stall to get milked. We milked ours twice a day at 6 am and 6 pm. If you got the schedule mixed up they would be pissed off.

Bert how about Oregone?

That's great stuff Chief. I was thinking that song Dave Edmunds performed reminded my of Bruce Springsteen's Open All Night -- but had no idea until I looked it up that Springsteen wrote it and has performed it as well.

At the risk of sinking us all even deeper into the ruinous throes of Communism, here's that version.

If it happens, and someone goes undefeated in the SEC, they should just crown them National Champions.

They will. It might just take a few extra weeks.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

I don't know why the SEC needs those two schools.

Texas and Oklahoma have not been forces since we have college championship playoffs.

The SEC teams have dominated.

The Big 12 (?), the Big 10 (?) ain't won much and the ACC got lucky with Clemson and FSU. Outside of that it has been the SEC.

Why do we need to add two also rans added to the SEC (Texas and Okla)?

All those bad conferences that used to win titles without playing a decent team now want to restructure the playoffs so that the SEC will quit winning. They are bastards and I don't want Texas and Oklahoma in the SEC.

Sorry for being so nasty but screw those phonies. Those conferences are part of the past and they want more titles so they have to invent a system to screw the better teams (SEC).

Watchin' the tide roll away, ooh
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay

I didn't take it as you being nasty, just being passionate. Personally, I liked the conferences the way they were before expansion. What good is having 16 teams, when you won't even play half in football? I would rather see conferences go back to having 10-12 teams.

Good morning D-League. It's currently 60° and foggy. This afternoon will bring sunny to partly cloudy skies and a high of 85°.

Everyone stay safe on this Friday.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and cloudy. We received a quick passing shower yesterday evening. Today's high should hit 95°F.

I've been invited for free breakfast tacos later this morning at a local food truck near the shopping center. Nice lady extended an invitation for around 6:30 am. Stay tuned.

Happy Friday!

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Happy Friday D-League. It is a cool, clear morning here in the east.

I’m out strolling in the woods, listening to a fairly detailed podcast about the Constitutional Convention of 1787. It’s a pretty remarkable historical moment.

In any case, I’m inspired to take another trip to Philly soon. We were there for a three-day weekend in March, 2020 - the weekend before Covid shut down everything. It’ll be nice to get back before I have to return to the office.

I hope it’s a good day for everyone.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning D, read Hosea 5, beautiful day here in thee Berg.

Mr. Don while I was reading you post I was trying to think of whose voice I was reading it in.

Our new smart TV is a lot smarter than me!!!!

I hope the D has a great day and Prayers!!!

Olympics are on, just can't get interested!!

 

[starchief5]

Finally I can say it. We finally got some rain. Been a good year since we got any serious rain. We have a serious drought going on out here. Lots of thunder and lightening. Rare.

Well, we do play 1/2+, but in general agree we should play more. Instead of 8/14, 9. If going to play 9/16 as I hear, it ought to be 10.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Just carried on a nice discussion with a local food truck owner. Angie is 50 y/o and formerly lived in McAllen area. She knows a few people who dealt with my father down there back during the 70s and 80s.

Crazy discussion point: Her father lives right on the border. She told me that on a slow night, at least 20 illegals cross the border between 11 pm - 3 am, tear stuff up in her father's yard and steal from the property. Her father has witnessed as many as 100 illegals come through overnight. That's insane.

Somebody in the back of that store, milking that cow, is now going to be laid off... for shame, starchief...

That milk better have gold flakes in it at 12$. Yikes

Yep, Arkansas, South Carolina, A&M and Missouri gave us a blanket of states for TV coverage which helps bring in the TV revenue; however, Texas and Arkansas would not add much in coverage.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

It is an already sunny and a warm 74.5°F on my back porch. We are supposed to get to 88.

I need to mow the yard, I just have to talk myself into it.

I plan on setting outside this afternoon with some friends, so I hope the allergies leave me alone.

You all have a good weekend.

It's great you are back Sir. Hope you had a glorious time away, now get to work.... (Please)

Oh, I DO pray all have a memorable day today in a good way. Tell others about God's goodness and be a light in this seemingly darkening country. Never forget, God is still in charge! God Bless you all...

Good Morning D League

I am back in Dixie Land after having been out of state for a couple of weeks. I tell you things sure are different up there.

Our weather is a typical July day. We had a nice down pour with lighting and thunder. Got knocked off of the internet when we lost power. We are currently 79° with winds WNW at 8 mph. We will reach 87°.

I LOVE BUTTERMILK AND IT IS ONE THING WE ALWAYS HAVE IN THE REFRIGERATOR. I drink a very large glass every night before I go to bed and sleep like a baby.

I read Hosea 5
