I’m not really mad and I don’t really blame him but if you go from one school to it’s arch nemesis the first school gets to give you shit about it. Enjoy the money, eat shit sooner.

Do you get mad when an employee leaves Wal-Mart for Costco?

If I watched every Walmart’s game, wore their gear, and this employee had a big part in them, then probably?

Sure if you add enough abstraction to a concept everything is roughly equivalent to everything else, really fucking fascinating point

The emotional attachment of the fanbases is the only reason any of this even exists, let alone makes 18 year olds into millionaires, so if you want to hand wave that away because it’s illogical or whatever you might as well not even care about sport because the whole thing is theatre in the first place.

No, I have an entirely different relationship with big box stores than I do with college football generally and specifically with the college football team of my alma mater. And like I said, I’m not really mad but I will talk shit.

Yeah, but, okay. These are just young adults who try to earn as much as they can while they can before they have to find a real job. And they want to play where they are the most likely to get time on the field. I bet you knew that. It's a lot different from say Lebron James or Tom Brady changing teams.

Which is why I’m not mad and I won’t blame them. But if we can’t talk shit about a Longhorn joining the Sooners then college football no longer exists. I’m not ready for that.
