@gwilkie80 @Brett_McMurphy @AnwarRichardson No argument that Texas is a bunch of entitled crybabies. The argument here though is about Tech trying to pretend the B12 Schedule is the same as the SEC because they are all college teams. Resources, budget, talent rankings, etc all are dominated by the SEC and B1G.

Shots fired at Texas Tech? Texas' Steve Sarkisian via @AnwarRichardson: "There's a team in our state in another conference w/a schedule that I would argue if I played w/our 2's & 3's we could go undefeated & they’ll probably make the CFP this year” 💀 on3.com/college/texas-…

@CFBMatrix @CFBPlayoff Sure, I mean everyone knows that playing Georgia and Alabama is the same as playing Oklahoma State and Iowa State. They all are just college teams. Brilliant.

@TimBrando @AmandaMAtwell @Big12Conference @SEC You completely misrepresented what he said, own up to it. He was talking about his 2's and 3's beating a B12 schedule without Utah or BYU and no one OOC. You may not like it but that's very possible. Oh, and I despise Texas.

Sorry Amanda, I heard what he said and yeah he may have been playing to his clearly partisan crowd, but in today’s climate ya can’t go there. When the 🎤is there? You’re hit and it could go anywhere. Simple as that. I know Sark and have said may times he’s a good guy. He’s better than that. It’s ok to be a fan of your school, but not when you’re a sportscaster. I still am and that’s how it is.

Man, it appears the double whammy of Texas privilege plus an injection of it “just means more” has gotten well into Sark’s bloodstream. I called plenty of @Big12Conference games the last few years and while no one is arguing that the @SEC may still be ahead top to bottom, the suggestion the Horns who lost to Florida, and can we talk about Kentucky could beat the guys in Lubbock with “our 2’s and 3’s” is preposterous. If Bill Little were alive he’d be on the phone saying, “Steve please dial it back?”

@JakeCrain_ Texas and Texas A&M have no desire to play Tech because it has low interest with their fans. They aren't going to give Tech a chance to elevate themselves at their expense nor should they. It's not an even trade at all.

@TTUPezidente The rest of college football hasn't caught up. A few schools are now trying to compete. Tech is reliant on one donor just like Okie State did with T Boone Pickens. Maybe it works but Tech and Lubbock have a lot of built in disadvantages due to location primarily.

@iowaddced @corey_blayne It's almost like things aren't the same as they were years ago. Past has nothing to do with the present and the talent Texas has vs the talent the "others" of the B12 have now. The gap is a canyon now, NIL has shifted everything as has the SEC move.

@corey_blayne I’m not even a tech guy but Texas was struggling at the end of their time in the Big 12 Sark went 17-10 in his two years in the Big 12, lots of talk for a guy who had ALL the recourses but no results in the “weak” big 12

Craziest part to me is Tech fans thinking that Sark said Texas would beat Tech with their twos and threes. He did not say that. He said he could beat their schedule with his twos and threes. And when you actually look at the schedule, Tech could maybe do that, too. That’s the point he’s making.

NEW: Steve Sarkisian took a shot at Texas Tech while discussing how the College Football Playoff Committee factors strength of schedule👀 “There's a team in our state that plays in another conference that has a schedule that I would argue if I played with our twos and our threes, we could go undefeated, and they'll probably make the CFP this year.” (via @AnwarRichardson) on3.com/college/texas-…

@flatland_sports SEC schools play a rough conference schedule and typically 1 strong OOC team and 2 "buy" games at home. Tech plays a crap conference schedule and no one OOC. A&M and Texas don't want to play them because it has low fan interest for them as their 1 strong OOC team to schedule.

Texas has UTEP and New Mexico State on their future schedule. You can't try to claim Tech is a G5 and an easy win and then try to hide behind Ohio State and Notre Dame as reasons to not schedule Texas Tech.
Amanda Atwell@AmandaMAtwell

Last I checked there are more quality opponents out there you could add to your non-conf. schedule that aren't named Texas or A&M if they "won't schedule you"(maybe look at their marquee non conference opponents the last few years for some inspo!) But you don't. Interesting!

@gwilkie80 @Brett_McMurphy @AnwarRichardson That's Tech's problem to solve then. They can't shrug their shoulders and go "oh well, we just have play crappy opponents". Or they need to go unefeated and crush everyone. They don't get a free pass.

@roblowe93 @Brett_McMurphy @AnwarRichardson Tx Tech really can’t control the conference part, and I read that Oregon State who is on their schedule was a Top 15 team when they scheduled them. But there is no doubt they got a very favorable draw in their conference schedule.

@CFBwSam When Texas Tech finally played a real team they got blown out and didn't score a point. They also lost to a terrible ASU team somehow.

@Ike_Saul So essentially they weren't conservatives, Republicans, or people that cared in the slightest for the issues the people who voted for them care about. What matters is they can throw a temper tantrum on Trump and set fire to the country. So we were supposed to keep them?

One understated reality of what Trump has done: He basically just nuked his Senate majority for the next six months. Rs have a 53-47 hold on the Senate. - Sen. Tillis is retiring and already acting like an independent. - Sen. Cassidy now has no reason to play ball. - Sens. Murkowski and Collins have long been willing to break with POTUS. - Sen. Cornyn will have to navigate the runoff, but win or lose next Tuesday he comes out of that doing whatever he wants. All the sudden, a 53-47 Senate majority is a 48-47 majority with five live swing votes.
U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D.@SenBillCassidy

People are concerned about paying their mortgage or rent, affording groceries and paying for gas, not about putting together a $1.8 billion fund for the President and his allies to pay whomever they wish with no legal precedent or accountability. This is adding to our national debt. If there needs to be a settlement, the administration should bring it to Congress to decide.

@Proudfoot1168 @Brett_McMurphy @AnwarRichardson Texas wasn't in the Playoffs last year. 2 years ago ASU was good but that team is long gone. Texas is pretty stacked. This is about this upcoming season not the past. I need a shower defending Texas but the Tech schedule this year is a joke, double digit favs every game.

@JoshPateCFB Problem is you are pining for a world that doesn't exist anymore Josh. Re-alignment made this inevitable and it's preferable to a true Super Conference structure which is the real choice. You just have to look at what CFB is and not what you wish it could be.

@flatland_sports When you post this insanity it hurts your credibility. Sorry but the B1G and SEC aren't the same as the others after all of the realignments. A 24 team with 1/3rd SEC, 1/3rd B1G, 1/3rd other is realistic (though it will be bye plus at large in structure). That's reality.

@BrandonLBradfor Capital creating more capital but every time it is cashed out they take a small slice, make it too big and they don't cash it and invest it. Make taxes small enough you don't try to avoid them or avoid investing profits because of them.

@roblowe93 Incorrect, and a very stupid attempt at understanding how finances work. If you couldn't borrow against it, and use it as leverage, maybe. But, you can.

Lol the top 1% in the US hold ~32% of all wealth while the bottom 50% hold 2.5%. Leaving that out as if it's not pertinent is a little dishonest. Labor is taxed at a significantly higher rate than capital gains, and this isn't even bringing up write offs.
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

@BladeoftheS He pays a hell of a lot more than 1% and has paid billions, he just pay it very differently than most because he is a business owner. You could also confiscate all of his wealth and it wouldn't do much other than put a LOT of people out of work. Socialism always fails.

@TheDeuce Dollar was wrecked by multiple generations, plenty of blame to go around there. New Deal and esp Great Society programs are the real culprits, that's where the money goes.

@GetMoneyLines @Uncatfishable The point is meals for less than $5 each that are healthy and tasty. Essentially you can eat 3 meals a day for $100 a week. Many meals I make (like soups) are far less. My Dad grew up on Chicken and Dumplings and my Mom on Chicken and Rice. Lots of options now.

Do people realize that peanut butter and jelly and chips is what they give kids at school who can’t afford school lunch? That’s what they give prisoners in holding cells if you get to jail after food time. And you want working adults to eat that everyday willingly.
Ben Klayer@the_satellite23

Loaf of bread = $5 Peanut butter = $4 Jelly = $4 18 pack of chips = $12 Bag of apples = $5 Total = $30 And you'll have lunch for an entire week or two. $2-4 average per day. Inflation isn't the problem. Your spending habits are.
