Well, it's been a good run during the 2024 CFB season for Texas. A year of mostly highs, with only a shitty home game versus GA and an OT loss to GA standing in the way of what's been perfect. I'm thankful for the memories and experiences, personally. Unfortunately, all of that comes to an end this weekend on Friday night in the bowels of the DFW metroplex. Watching this season die at the stale, beer-soaked, cheese curd-smelling fat fingers of the sweating, mouthbreathing giant Ohio State football team is an inevitability. It's going to be demoralizing to witness, but we should continue to hold our heads high irrespective as Texas fans. "But closetojumping, this same Ohio State team lost less than 6 weeks ago to a mediocre Michigan team at home. We blew those same assholes out, while they still had Will Johnson, in Ann Arbor even, earlier this year!" I realize that Texas and Ohio State have actually played the same opponent this year and the results might be revealing in some ways, but that is apparently irrelevant to the current situation. I've yet to hear or read any analysis in the public domain of that situation mattering. Apparently both rosters have completely turned over and it no longer matters. Or maybe the notion is that Ohio State takes pleasure in getting publicly buttfucked every year by their arch nemesis, but will not play the bottom in any other match-up. I don't know, but I've been told that we've got to throw it all out. I wish Texas would petition to play OSU this weekend in their famous alt-unis colored maize and blue, but they're apparently not doing that. "But CTJ, Will Howard has the tendency to become a turnover machine in big games and he's never beaten Texas!?" I get it. I realize that Will Howard appears to be a spare to Texas fans as we've watched him on numerous occasions attempt to lose ball games on his own at KSU and even this year against Oregon and Michigan. However, Texas fans are the fucking blind morons here. The fatass, jort-wearing, gravy-splattered experts from the Ohio State fanbase and the talking heads in the media have seen a different Will Howard. Things have gotten so distorted compared to what we've experienced that draft ranking services now have Howard listed above Ewers on the boards. So, yeah, we're the idiots here, folks. There's simply no way to envision a scenario in which one of the nation's leading turnover defenses could force a turnover prone QB with a history of choking under pressure to go on a turnover spree. Bucknuts has convinced me so. "closetojumping, this Ohio State OL has lost 3 OLs, is playing true freshman, playing their star guard at OT, and barely fields a two deep. Texas has one of the best front 7's in all of college football with elite LBs, OLBs/Edges, and DTs. Ohio State hasn't faced a front like this all year!" I'm sorry to inform you guys, but none of that matters. Ohio State is hot! They've got the hot hand and those OL have magically transformed from their November embarrassments to looking like a Joe Moore trophy-winning unit. Plus, Ohio State has the aforementioned Will Howard, who has obviously turned a corner in his play, and has like 5 or more elite skill players guaranteed to go to the NFL in Henderson, Judkins, Egbuka, Tate, and, of course, Jeremiah Smith. Texas can try to play sound gap integrity on the early downs while bracketing Smith all they want, this OL is apparently too robust. "Texas has elite skill guys, a Joe Moore finalist OL group, and a resurgent Quinn Ewers, who always shows his best in big games on the road, ctj. Ohio State's D doesn't know what's coming!" Listen, by all national accounts and according to the room temp IQ wizards at Eleven Warriors, the Ohio State defense has "elite" players at every level of the defense. Ohio State sports multiple potential 1st rounders (whenever they're eligible to declare) on defense, for sure. JT Tuimoloua is a projected early round guy and he's usually a terror about twice a season. Maybe he shows up against Texas and does something? We'll let Kelvin Banks figure that out, I guess. The guy has been playing lately for a contract, but he was irrelevant against Michigan and Oregon the first time. Tyleik Williams is well regarded inside but he's got all of 12 tackles on the year. Jack Sawyer can prevent an opponent's flag from being planted at the 50 yard line like a motherfucker, and no one can talk more Ohio State meatheaded shit than this blowhard, so maybe that leads to something game-changing on Friday? Denzel Burke has blown harder this year than a meth-ed out OSU sorority girl, but maybe he can hang with Matthew Golden unlike anyone else this season. Sonny Stiles has run past more tackles this season than Danny Stutsman, but I've heard he's also super good. Caleb Downs is actually the real deal, so hopefully Ewers is decisive in the pocket this week. The rest of the secondary has been beaten more this season than Zach Smith's wife, but never mind that. I realize that even the adjusted stats love the OSU defense. That said, don't look at who they've played in posting the numbers they've posted. Don't consider that IU was a paper tiger or that Oregon did what they wanted in the first game, or that PSU pissed down its leg when it saw the Scarlet and Grey or that they played no one else worth a fuck on offense all year. No, those things don't matter, their defense is an unrivaled beast and the Texas offense stands no chance. "Fine. We get it, closetojumping, you're giving us no shot. But what about Ryan Day folding in big games as though he's being grilled under a heat lamp by suspecting police officers of his role in numerous pedophile rings?" I realize that Ryan Day appears to be a violently aggressive groomer of catamites and that he probably feeds off the blood of small children to maintain a solid coif and a 68-10 career record, but you can't argue with success. I don't care if the guy had his pants pulled down on national tv by Steve Sarkisian in the 2020 title game. Day going into the fetal position and sucking his thumb while crying for mommy against Michigan shouldn't matter to us. The guy is 4-4 in the postseason with the wins coming against: -a Utah team that lost their QB to a devastating knee injury early in the game -a good Clemson team in 2020 -a 2024 coelenterate in Tennessee -a revenge game against Oregon in 2024 I don't know, maybe he's able to find something new to fire up his team this week against the underdog Longhorns. There's no way that Texas will find motivation from being counted out all week and being told they have no chance. Hell, I don't think they've got a chance myself, and I know I'm notoriously one of Longhorn netdom's biggest Pollyannas. So give me Ohio State in a runaway, 55-14. Thoughts? Hook'em52 points

I'm not going to be able to be nice about all of these too-late-realizations and if-we'd-only-knowns. If you didn't know this shit was coming, you weren't paying attention, because he was yelling it from the rooftops. If you weren't listening, you shouldn't have voted. This is on you, and there's no amount of self-awareness now that will change it. You don't get any partial credit or redemption for realizing you've been hoodwinked two months after you gave this con the keys to the country, again, you unbelievably stupid shits. The only thing you can do to atone now is to never, ever vote or have sex again. I am completely serious.24 points

I've told it before, numerous times, but fuck it, it's been awhile. My sophomore and junior years, we played G-Ball in Galveston. The police escort would pick us up at the Causeway and bring us to the barbed-wire protected stadium. Each year, we were GBall's homecoming. You walk off the bus and angry fans are throwing food and drink at us, 2 hours before the game, and they're taunting us with "little ass whiteboys!!" and "dirty ass mexicans!" as we scrambled for the locker room. Just before kickoff, regrouped in the shitty locker room underneath the north end zone bleachers, we're getting the pep talk from the HC when the ceiling starts dropping paint and dust as the whole building shakes. "Oooo, Ahhh, G-Ball High! ... Ussay Aussay, the G-Ball Posse!! <boom boom bah, boom boom bah> G-Balllllllllllll, Hey Hey, G-Ball Hiiiiiiiiiiigh!!!>" I'm 15 and these guys have had 7 points scored on them in 6 games and they're ranked #4 in the fucking state. It was somewhat intimidating. We come running out of the tunnel, then get blocked by the band. Immediately nachos and cokes are raining down on us. They didn't chalk the field. They painted it. You get tackled on the lines or a hash and skin is getting torn off. Like landing on concrete. I caught a pass in the flats and some All State dumbass who couldn't score 700 on the SAT named Rodney Artmore hit me like a fucking bus. We scored 3 points in two seasons against them on their turf. My senior year, our coach brilliantly decides that they'll be our homecoming game. While I was having a good game individually and likely getting concussed by Cephus Scott (KSU) on passes over the middle, we as a team are getting absolutely pummeled. Their defensive line is mowing through our OL like a hot knife through butter. At some point in the second half, a commotion is going on in the sugar huddle. I walk over from the outside and think "what in the fuck is going on?" The center, a good friend of mine but also a pussy, is crying/bawling inside his helmet. Truly red-faced and crying. The other guys are talking shit to him about getting it together. "You guys don't understand!! This guy is a fucking animal. He's beating the shit out of me!! It's like being in a goddamned street fight!" I walk off. "Christ." The literal next play, the DT grabs our center and hurls him into our QB while the QB is dropping back and is sacked by his center. I laughed inside as I was also embarrassed. The DT for G-Ball? A freshman or sophomore Casey Hampton.22 points

What constitutes "not cloakroom" in this context? The idea of making Canada a U.S. state, renaming the Gulf of Mexico, and taking Greenland and the Panama Canal by force are not serious international policy positions. It's insanely idiotic for anyone to say this type of nonsense, much less the president of the United States.18 points

i hope this thread stays in DT. i think a thread like this is good as a simple 'FYI' in a forum where a lot of posters fall into the 'i dont pay attention to anything until 10/15 every four years bc politics is like super annoying and has no bearing on real life so shut up and go back to the cloak room!!' category. which is a significant reason why we have ended up with a president-elect laying out these plans. so don't debate here...but try to at least be aware of what is happening because it does, in fact, have direct bearing on real lives. or you know, whatever.14 points

I donβt see how this becomes anything but CR. Everything the POTUS-elect suggested today was not just insane, it was immoral, illegal, and harmful to our country and some of our very closest friends and allies. Any attempt to implement would hopefully spark waves of resignations and if the military was ordered to invade a friendly country, a refusal to implement and impeachment. Thereβs nothing to debate here, this stuff isnβt even βa bad idea.β14 points

Meteorologist here. There is definitely the potential for a serious transportation mess in the DFW metroplex on Thursday/night/Friday morning. There are a couple of questions that are very difficult to answer at this point, including the profile of the atmosphere (will it produce snow, sleet, or freezing rain) and how quickly temperatures reach above freezing on Friday morning. Some modeling recently has indicated that DFW may only briefly freeze on Thursday night/Friday morning, which would speed up the transition to wet rather than icy streets on Friday morning. Bottom line: Any travel into DFW after noon on Friday should be fine, but before then there's definitely the potential for a clusterfuck. Especially if the stars align and the region gets half an inch of freezing rain.14 points

We must remember that a person's ability to read and retain information doesn't make them a critical thinker. I think that is a mistake we make on a daily basis in this country. I know a lot of people who got good grades through school because of memorization. The smartest guy was the guy who could find the answer to the math problem using some backwards method that the teacher wouldn't accept as "showing your work".14 points

Take the Michigan blueprint. Your D line is good enough (or at least it was in September) stop the run with 2 big DTs and 2 set edges, drop 7 and confuse the shit out of Howard. Also helps if you lay the absolute lumber on him and he thinks he is playing from outer space.13 points

Interdasting. This may indicate that he's not exactly happy about being shoved to the right by the BOR. Assuredly, SMU's governance is right-leaning, but probably not completely in the thrall of Abbott-Paxton-Dunn-Wilks axis of evil.13 points

Were you hoping for somebody else to over-analyze Quinn Ewers's performance this year? Well, happy birthday. Here is a gigantic spreadsheet with Quinn Ewers's performance in 2023 and 2024. It is broken down further by: coverages drive progression field position game situation pass rush play characteristics pressure status QB movement throw depth throw direction All of this is beyond the LOS because we all know that Quinn is fantastic on passes before the LOS. On the topic of Quinn's deep ball. Criticism is warranted. Attached is a strike zone of Ewers's performance in 2024 beyond the LOS and another one of the top 20 QBs in college football. As you can see, Quinn struggles a bit on balls to the right and mightily on deep balls over the middle. However, he makes up for that by being a top-5 QB in every other zone on the field in Adj Passer Rating and on SISData's IQR rating. Still, something is definitely off vs. last year. What I have found through my research is not surprising: 2023 Quinn > 2024 Quinn. 2024 Quinn's aPR dropped by 20 and 50(!) pts on deep balls to the right and middle and declined by 25 and 30 points to the intermediate right and short. What is the difference? It may be because Ewers has found himself in off-schedule drives more often than not this year, at a rate of nearly 2.5:1 (375 on-schedule plays in 2023 vs 145 in 2024). It may also be that teams have increased their usage of man and cover 3 against Ewers. Anecdotally, I have noticed Quinn is quick to make reads and that has hurt him when the defense has a shell over man. However, my guess is injury. These large drop-offs mainly occurred around Quinn's injury and have been progressively improving since. My main reason behind this is a 50pt drop-off when pressured this season vs last (and this has been improving over the season). His lack of mobility due to the ankle injury has been a story-line for a reason and teams have been exploiting it. In fact last season he spent a greater portion of moving/shuffling (think the 2nd TD in the OT win vs Arizona State) vs planted as he has this season. His injuries have made him a statue encouraging teams to increase their usage of blitzes by ~40%. Another notable difference between the years is while he is 20pts better in aPR in the 1st half, he is nearly 50-60pts worse in the 2nd half. This seems like more of a coaching/running game issue rather than a QB issue. I would keep an eye on this going forward in future seasons. Do our coaches not adjust well coming out of the half? I think it is important to read Sam Khan's article here. Quinn has always been compared to what he is not vs what he is due to his recruiting rating. While Quinn is not as good as last year and he is not the greatest of all time, he is still a top 5 QB in college football this year. That is with him battling two injuries that are affecting his play.13 points

Itβs kind of unbelievable how little chance any talking head anywhere is giving Texas. I listen all year and usually some of these guys will hedge or hem and haw, but thatβs not happening with this game. Itβs at the point where Texas is being completely dismissed. It does remind me of the Rose Bowl against USC.13 points

For the first time in history, a πΊπ¦Ukrainian F-16 fighter destroyed 6 π·πΊcruise missiles in one sortie, - former spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force Ignat According to the former spokesman for the Air Force, our pilot showed such a result during a massive attack on December 13, 2024. More context: The Ukrainian technological advances in drone warfare reached another milestone. Only days after downing at least 2 Russian helicopters, Ukrainian USVs launched UAVs against Russian coastal air defense systems. During this operation two Pantsir-S1 and one 9K33 Osa was struck. The first operation of that kind was reported one month ago, but this strike shows the capabilities and efficiencies of Ukrainian drone warfare, where valuable and expensive air defense assets worth $50 million of the Russian army get eliminated with an invest, which make up only a fraction of it. It also further exposes Russian defenses along the Black Sea coast That's impressive: Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, "says Ukrainian unmanned system operators successfully targeted over 54,000 russian assets during the month. Importantly, 49% of targets, or approximately 26,500, were taken down by kamikaze drones. He specifically praised the Birds of the Magyar (aka Kryla Madiara) unit led by Major Robert Brovdy, which evolved from a drone operators company into the 414th Separate Brigade of Unmanned Aerial Systems within a year. Among the UAV units, remarkably high effectiveness was demonstrated by: the unmanned systems detachment of the 46th airmobile brigade; the 57th Motorized Infantry Brigade; the 28th Mechanized Brigade; the 35th Marine Brigade; the 3rd Assault Brigade." en.defence-ua.com/news/ukrainianβ¦ t.me/osirskiy/103112 points

8th grade. Waco, Texas. Ravishing Rick was a sneaky athletic basketball player at the 2 guard. Played cross town rival school that feeds into Waco University high. Despite some overly physical defense to try to compensate for my deficiencies, I got lit up by a very quick and athletic opposing two guard. Ladanian Tomlinson. He turned out to have a nice career in another sport and even got elected into its hall of fame, but Ravishing Rick could no doubt whip him in pickleball today, so whoβs laughing now?11 points

That's because you've never torn it up in The Station. Way back when I was an undergrad, I went to B/CS to visit an aggy friend from HS. I picked that weekend because he said there was going to be a huge party. Literally everyone I met there asked me if I was going to go to the party. When the party finally arrived, it turned out to be about 100 dudes standing in a field around a keg of beer.11 points
