    Helped that he was playing with an absolutely stacked roster that probably wins that game by 2 scores with a healthy Colt.

    I’m no Gilbert apologist, but that Texas offense was hardly stacked.

    Our OL - none of whom went on to sniff the NFL - was guys like Hix, Huey, Tanner, and Ulatoski.  Our backfield was Tre Newton and DJ Monroe.  Our receivers - outside of Jordan Shipley - were Dan Buckner and Malcolm Williams, with a freshman Marquise Goodwin getting some reps too.

    The only great players on that offense were McCoy and Shipley, and Gilbert replaced half of them.  It’s a testament to how great those two guys were - and how great our defense was - that we very possibly win that game if Colt doesn’t get hurt.

    ESPN's playoff predictor had Ohio St at (I think) 60% to OU's 39% very shortly aftwr the Michigan game had ended.  They know who they want.

    That’s partly a function of their opponents next weekend.  OU has a better chance of losing than Ohio State does.

    This is also why the predictor shows Clemson with a higher chance of winning the title than Alabama.

    Maybe I'm being too optimistic, but I think the homefield woes will be a thing of the past once the playoffs start.

    The crowds for this season have been great, but the atmosphere for the playoffs is at an entirely different level. And as good as the Astros are at keeping things loose and taking things one game at a time, it is impossible for a defending champion to keep that championship focus over an entire season.

    Once the playoffs begin, Minute Maid will be a scary place for visiting teams.

    We were similarly better on the road in the regular season in 2017.

    Then the playoffs started and we went 8-1 at MMP and 3-6 on the road.  

    I wouldn’t be surprised if something like that happened again.

  4. Not sure Adzillatron needs a random crowd shot after every single play, up to (and sometimes past) the snap of the next play.  A few more replays would have been nice.

    But otherwise a really good production and the crowd was into it.

    Pretty much aligns with Lowe's analysis.  It'll keep us in the playoff conversation but the most likely outcome is one and done's.  I was hoping Pop/RC would really want to leave the house loaded and in order and that meant a rebuild or reload of some kind or to some level.  Instead, it looks like we're going to just play it out as we quietly slide back into mediocrity and ride into the sunset without making another real run.  Help us Lonnie Walker, you're our only help.

     

    How are we defining mediocrity?

    I’m not sure the Spurs have been mediocre for as long as I can remember.  They were awful in the mid-late ‘80s which allowed them to get Robinson, then won 56 games in ‘89-‘90 and arguably haven’t been mediocre since then.

    Or are you saying we’ll be quietly sliding back to ‘90s Spurs basketball, always good but never a title contender?

    Watching the Reds vs Cubs and a rightie hit a HR against Morrow to tie it up. Announcers said it was the first time a RH hitter got a HR off Morrow since 2015. Guess they don’t remember Springer’s Game 5 tying HR. Assholes. 

    Or Correa’s, five minutes later.

    Since August. Spurs medical staff reputation being ruined for nothing.

    This has been my thinking all along.  Hard to criticize the Spurs’ staff when it’s been Kawhi’s clown show running things all along.  And it’s not like he got back to the court quickly once they took over.

    The timelines are strange, though.  I had read this August stuff before, but then the famous long ESPN piece from a month or two ago made it seem like his doctors took over in January... when they flew from Atlanta to Brooklyn, iirc.

    A day or so ago in this thread, I saw some shit about Tony's interview last season which supposedly got Kawhi's panties in a bunch......  Here's said interview.  First, I don't really believe he was that upset about the interview, seems like a BS excuse to try and build a narrative that the Spurs were mean to him.  Second, if he really was upset, he's a total pansy.  He also has Tony's phone number, he could have picked up the phone.... 

    This is more like the reality of the situation.... 

    Could the Spurs played this better?  Yes.  Do they need to rigorously review their medical staff?  Seems so.  But they're not the big bad guy here.....

     

    How do you quote those three tweets and then conclude that the Spurs could have played it better and need to review their medical staff?
