One week ago, Dad and I flew out of Ord at the same time, him to Wichita and me to DFW. His was $500, mine was $240 rt.

Yup direct flights. Just check MHK-ORD for the weekend of 12/4. $89 each way. Same for DFW-MHK. It's awesome.

Clever bastard, he is.

what is your information? I also am of the understanding the American Eagle is operated by several different operations across the country.

*edit* looks like now it is just 2 operators, although the wiki mentions 3 at one point, so I suspect one more was in operation at some point.

I'm sorry, but your occupation is wholly irrelevant to this thread.

But I'm excited to see that you've found a way to contribute because your football and/or conference realignment takes thus far have been really, truly terrible.

Is there anything else we could talk about that might make you more useful? We're all-inclusive here on CP and I hate to see anyone left out. How about the merits of Chicken vs. Fish during intercontinental travel? Would that give you a semi?

TCU is not going to out-recruit Texas A&M in Texas. Not on a consistent basis. This is a great move for the Horned Frogs, who are going to recruit better in Texas now, but if you follow Texas recruiting closely, you'd know that Texas A&M is the favorite for any kid who doesn't pick OU or UT.

More money. More tradition. Better facilities.

Where TCU is going to do better is recruiting against the likes of oSu and Baylor and Texas Tech and Missouri and Arkansas and LSU. They'll win more of those battles (though they've won a lot of them, regardless).

I won't argue that there won't be kids from Texas that choose someone else over Missouri. But I will argue that it's being vastly overstated. Also, Missouri will have much better secondary recruiting areas after Missouri/Texas (LA, FLA, GA), which it will have to use to make up the gap).

Originally Posted by DJ's left nut (Post 8048545)

They could, actually.

TCU is right there in Dallas; it's in a great spot. It won't start out-recruiting A&M over night, but as the rivalry between the Aggies and Longhorns starts to diminish (and it will; as will MU/KU), the kids that get turned down by UT won't be so eager to go to A&M and 'show them what they missed'.

In fact, TCU could end up that destination school.

TCU has made a HUGE move to get into the IIX. I think they're absolutely poised to become a viable replacement for A&M in Texas. They'll likely never come as close to a national championship as they did last season (really just one or two breaks and they're in that title game), but they'll have better teams and a better program (hmmmm...sound familiar?)

And yeah, they'll make recruiting Texas a little bit harder for the folks that already did well down there.

Good thing we're going to have some new recruiting grounds to sniff around in

Originally Posted by DJ's left nut (Post 8048595)

So by all means, enlighten us.

Rivals says they've done a fantastic job this season in recruiting. You clearly have some keen insight to suggest otherwise.

So please, good sir, show us all just how badly damaged A&M has been by this whole thing.

You are an absolute joke.

How could I have been so foolish? Of course the airline chatter was just a way to lure me into your fiendish trap.

How could I have walked into the "The SEC is full of Hillbillies" slam, so deviously disguised behind the meandering prattling on of a vacuous shitheel?

I have brought shame on my house.

Patterson has been an expert at going to top recruits and saying, "You could go to UT and be maybe 3rd, 4th on the depth chart and who knows who'll they'll get next year. Or, you can come to TCU and compete to start from your first year."

Please - tell us more about airspeed vs. groundspeed.

It's amazing that every resident in Kansas seems to be magnetically attracted to the state of Missouri. I mean, your largest population base is a suburb of a Missouri city yet the irony of your comments is completely lost on you.
