  1. I mostly agree, but did you really cite Houston weather as a motivating factor? We are about 4-5 months removed from a scorching hellscape and will probably get another one in 3 more.
  2. I totally understand Slowik and Johnson’s decisions here. When you’re looking at taking your shot with a team like the Commanders or spending another year working with Stroud and Ryans, then getting another shot the following year it just makes sense. If you flame out with one of those dysfunctional franchises you may never get a second chance.
  3. But is he capable of crying after every game for a full 12 game season?
  4. Am I the only one who thinks that Gunnar Helm is going to be a great starter next year?
  5. I agree, but Helm is also pretty good. Having him come back for his senior year is going to set us up pretty well at the position. I wouldn’t be opposed to a portal / grad transfer at the position since it doesn’t seem like any of the other sophomores or juniors have stepped up though.
  6. I am actually hoping that we come in at 4 and FSU at 3. I like the Michigan matchup.
  7. Garrett Gilbert after the Colt injury was like Joe Montana compared to this FSU QB.
  8. Harvey Updyke is coming out of retirement if FSU gets in over Bama.
  9. Are we sure that this FSU QB played football in high school? They didn’t accidentally sign a volleyball player?
  10. On Draft Kings sport book right now, Texas is -320 to make the playoff. Alabama -650. FSU +140.
  11. But you can’t consider FSU playing with a 3rd string freshman QB.
  12. I think we would be unwise to assume an easy game. OSU comes prepared to play against us, usually. That being said, Vegas has the line at -15 for a reason.
  13. Jedd Fisch is the greatest coach of all time. Everyone wanted to hire him but aggy pulled off a miraculous coup. There was a secret network of sips, liberals, and immigrants conspiring to hold aggy back from the greatness that they deserve. But that network has been defeated. This will go down in history books alongside aggy’s other great military triumphs. Commemorative cups and t-shirts will soon be available at texags.com.
  14. He is a “sitting” P5 coach. aggy only hires royalty.
  15. I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t really matter who they hire because the institutional idiocy of aggy will pull the new coach into mediocrity, whoever it is. Go ahead and hire Deboer or Urban or Dabo. It literally doesn’t matter. The sleeping giant will continue sleeping. Also, it was hilarious hearing Bjork lecture the public on how to set up an incentive based contract.
  16. It always seemed like he was too heavy and wasn’t quick off the ball. Somehow he gained weight this offseason (I think) and is probably our best first-move guy on the DL. He’s a legitimate candidate to go top 10 in the NFL draft.
  17. A full 2 yards difference. 3rd and 3 instead of 3rd and 5. My penalty analysis from above can’t/doesn’t account for fuckery like this, but it’s at least as significant as the penalties.
  18. I went back and updated the spreadsheet to account for the last two games against TCU and ISU. I also pulled in all conference games from weeks 4-11 that involved either of these teams (previously they were excluded). Here are the results: Games not against Texas —— Average penalties: 5.2 Average penalty yards: 44.4 Average opponent penalties: 5.0 Average opponent penalty yards: 40.9 Games against Texas —— Average penalties: 4.0 Average penalty yards: 30.3 Average opponent (Texas) penalties: 6.4 Average opponent (Texas) penalty yards: 50.5 Conclusions —— Our opponents can expect to be called for 1.2 fewer penalties for 14.1 fewer penalty yards than their average in conference play. They can expect their opponent (Texas) to be called for 1.4 additional penalties and 9.6 additional penalty yards relative to the average of their other conference opponents. TLDR we are getting consistently fucked to the tune of nearly 25 net penalty yards per game. The sample size is now 53 games. This is not random chance.
  19. The “3rd and 1” that resulted in a TD was clearly a first down. I also recall a 1st down run by ISU that resulted in a TFL but was instead ruled a gain of 1.
  20. Refs were doing their best in the 1st half to give ISU the opportunity to take the lead. When it became clear they couldn’t do it, even with help, in the 3Q they evened it up a little bit at the end. I will say though. That illegal formation penalty was a killer for ISU. Correctly called, but not one that I expected.
  21. The only thing we know for sure is that aggy is going to fuck up this decision in spectacular fashion.
  22. The smart thing would be to hire a G5 up and comer for $4M a year, accept that this is a multi-year rebuild, and lay low for a while. But when has aggy EVER done the smart thing?
  23. There’s no reason at all for Fisher to negotiate against himself like this. He can still take the WVU job and make every bit of the $75M. It seems like the aggy BOR is much more miserable than he is.
  24. I need Liucci to explain how this is the ultimate power move that signals that the sleeping giant is awakening.
