  1. weekly update on the imperialism map. We didn't gain any land by beating KSU, but there is a nice chunk of land spread across to gain from OU. In the continuation map, OSU now owns most of the USA, besides also taking the belt from PSU. On endowment betting front, we made $1.76B profit by beating KSU. We can potentially more than double our current $13.34B endowment by beating OU. Stanford fell from the top spot when it lost half of its $45B endowment by losing to ND.
  2. Besides our misplaced passes on offense, the other issue is the seeming ineffectiveness of our blitzes. I don't know if it is the scheme or the players. Even if got to the QB, it was mostly due to the pass defense rather than blitz reaching early. OU is very good at screen game and will punish blitzing. We should keep everything in front and have a single person blitzing infrequently to keep QB uncomfortable.
  3. PSU D gave up the big winning drive, and that was the difference in the game.
  4. With a QB like this, you leave the ball in his hand. Scramble, run or pass
  5. McSorley is one confident QB. Makes decisive decisions.
  6. One thing Mack was good at was getting officials to respect his team. He would work the refs throughout the game and completely lose his cool at least once, usually in the first half, to set the stage for the rest of the game.
  7. he is trying to tackle. His shoulder glanced the WR's helmet. It was not intentional at all. He was not even lined up to drive into the WR. Wrong call.
  8. We should be doing more of shadowing the QB and less blitzing
  9. One twist to this idea is if the bet is between the teams where the loser hands the money to the winning team. Right now, the money goes to the betting house. Gives new meaning to scheduling patsies. Not only do you have to pay them a million bucks to play, but you will have to pay them billions if you lose.
  10. Our win against TCU put our endowment in the black for the first time. We have an 11% profit for a total of $11.6B. We made a $4.7B profit on a $3.5B bet (half of $7B we had) on TCU game. Reddit thread and the spreadsheet. Stanford has the highest endowment at $45B (started at $25B) and BYU has the most percentage gain (9.3x). Aggy has lost 3/4th of their endowment ($1.1B now after starting with $4.5B)
  11. I am also talking about long-term map. I am saying that as long as a team can avoid a path through conference championship on its way to playoffs, the belt and land can stay away from the national champion, and hence never merge. For example, the belt can remain in Big 10, the land in Pac 12 and national championship can be anywhere, as long as Big 10 and/or Pac 12 (in this case) go to playoffs without winning their conference championships.
  12. Bamamachine, I couldn't see the images in your post. I am posting them again. We hang on to our Oklahoma territory by denying the landless frogs. We have to do the same this week against Wildcats. The mercurial nature is visible here where USC, whom we beat and gained nothing from, owns a big chunk of northwest now. The game of the landlords this week when OSU and PSU face off.
  13. I could be wrong, but I was thinking of cases where the loser jumps into the playoffs because of inherently non-knockoff nature of college football. For example, let's say PSU beats OSU this week (retains belt and takes over vast tracks of land), but loses in conference championship allowing OSU to be the sole representative in the playoff. The belt and land will stay in the Big 10 assuming conference champion (Wisconsin?) retains the land and belt it got for PSU by winning its bowl game. Alabama may beat OSU to win national title, but sans belt and land. As long as the path to national championship is open to teams that can avoid knock-off games (conference championships), they can be empty handed while parking the belt and land with their conference winner brethren.
  14. I was expecting that. A nice drive was stopped by conservative plays.
