Texas starts the season 3-3.
 
damn @ralphiewvu they took your home game vs us away. We play coog high and BYU.. Avoid WV and Okie light.. probably the two worst teams heading into next season

y'all should also start out undefeated.. and have a decent year since no KSU, Baylor or Tech.. the schools that beat you last season.

It feels like every school beat us last year.

yes but they took away 3...

But jesus, this home slate.. yikes. Happy this is the last season after looking at this awesome home schedule.. Rice, Wyoming, Kansas, BYU, KSU and Tech...

I'm going to be at Tuscaloosa, and in Houston if they play at NRG.. not going if they are playing on campus.. not worth the tix money that they will jack up

Tuscaloosa will be fun. I went there last time. I went to the OU vs Alabama basketball game Saturday and it was nuts! I go to the @Tulsa game for sure and would like to make it up to Provo if I can.

That part may be correct. But unbalanced schedules being used to decide CCG participants still sucks IMO.
 
And this is why Cougar High wasn't a good "financial" choice IMO. (Good choice for a quality Shooty Hoops program.) There was already enough presence in Texas. Not one remaining school in Texas has enough of a cache to add to the pot.

Holgorsen: “What we’re dealing with right now is going to be dead last in the Big 12”

“Now we need everybody to kind of put their money where their mouth is, so to speak. We’ve been wanting this for a long time, so now’s the time to step up,” Holgorsen added. “There’s just so many things that need to be done. I don’t think people realize what other people have and what we need. I’m not going to be shy when I say that, because I’ve been at three of those institutions and I know what they have and how much work that they put in over the last three decades. We’ve got some catching up to do.”

Holgorsen does have a point. Houston is dead last donations and fundraising in the new Big 12 by a large margin, and competing with other schools in the conference in NIL and recruiting will be extremely challenging if things don’t change quickly.
 
Reports that Texas and OU NOT leaving early.

UH is a solid G5, but adding them was just stupid.

I don’t follow any of the financial stuff. But Boise St and Memphis seemed like better options imo.
