I think it's cheesy as h311, but I will definitely watch until the next commercial when I find it on.

It's one of those movies that even though cheesy, you remember it as a kid as a great movie and it sticks with you.

Only Vietnam vets understand the true meaning of that song.

Amen...and the song that resonated with all of us in the Green Machine who had a gal back home...Unchained Melody.

 

[Sea Goat]

Only Vietnam vets understand the true meaning of that song.

There were several versions - even the "Boss" had one much later. Eric Burdon's version was the anthem of the era though.

Having the non revenue sports play in a more regional league wouldn't be a bad idea. Even for UConn.

.@BerryTramel says OU fans are done with the Big 12. "They are ready for the SEC & it's fairly overwhelming. It's wide support for the SEC"

 

[upstater]

A G5 merger wouldn't really help UConn. There are barely any non-AAC G5 teams in the region. Marshall is the only one i can think of.

What would help UConn is for only Men's football and basketball to stay with AAC, while all other sports join the Big East.

Even better, or men's football stays in AAC.

Only way the Big 12 implodes is if Texas leaves. That would start the dominos. Highly unlikely the Big 10 or PAC 12 grabs Oklahoma by itself.

Agree with the 3rd sentence, but if the unlikely ever were to happen, Texas would have no choice. They'd leave.

What's more likely is the AAC is raided by the Big 12, probably taking Houston and Cinncinatti which gives them 12 teams.

Texas and the 11 dwarfs? I don't see it. Texas is gone if Oklahoma leaves. Texas isn't sticking around to subsidize Cincy and Houston.

They will so long as the LHN money keeps rolling in.

Did we time travel back to 2016?

Still can and probably will happen.

Oklahoma isn't going anywhere until Texas says it's time.

Still can and probably will happen.

Let's see how appealing UH is without their stud coach.

They all seem consistent for the most part in what he (Boren) said

Boren said it was in OU's best interest for the Big 12 to succeed. But he refuses to close the door on other options. [URL='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Sooners?src=hash']#Sooners[/URL]

John Shinn‏ @john_shinn 1h 1 hour ago
Boren believes major conference realignment discussion coming in the next 3-5 years. (That coincides with the Big Ten's rights deal).

John Shinn‏ @john_shinn 1h 1 hour ago
Boren said OU has had discussions with the Pac-12, Big Ten and the SEC in the past. "We don’t have any plans to right now," Boren said.
