I'm gonna own I didn't watch many if the .500 team bowls.
But.. I think I'd probably turn this on just to point and laugh, because schadenfreude.

How was FSU's offense with their third string quarterback any different than Iowa's?
Narrator: It wasn't, and with all the opt outs their defense was substantial worse.

Texas pushed for a Big XII network, it got shit on.
Texas offered to create one with Aggie.
They declined.
Texas finally said fuck it and formed the LHN.
We tried multiple ways, they all said no multiple times. So, we did it alone. The option was to get no money after offering various options to share money.
Clearly, we should have taken no money, because money can't buy you love.
Edit - Hah, found a fairly recent link that details all the shenanigans.

I must of missed that list of legitimate issues slorch posted.
Could someone please let me know where they went? Or, God forbid, did he post them and the over eager, sunshine pumping and super sensitive administration of this website take them down. That must be it right? Dammit!

Rhode Island School for the Deaf?
I actually considered Rhode Island School of Design. I can't even remember why now.
Broadly speaking, I like Rhode Island, but I'm part hoodrat.
Food was good, people seemed cool.
Fuck Texas Tech.

Haven't been around here in a while. Life has been largely fantastic outside of some work bullshit. Got a dog after a long time. Today marks 10 years since I died from a head injury directly related to an overly excessive BAC which precipitated a fall down some stairs.
10 years since I last drank. Doing my best to be grateful for everyday. My work takes me to a lot of happy hours. I no longer explain why I don't drink, just that I choose not to. The world seem to be growing ever more open to making the simple choice NOT to drink. Its nice, and my sober decade has been trying but wonderful.
I never stop learning and grow a little everyday. I believe in open communications with words of affirmation and willingness to address issues with kindness. I also focus on listening with an open mind and willingness to align to others needs, within reason.
I'm a better human than I was while drinking. I'm more alive and happier.
It's a good day to have woken up and I look forward to tomorrow.

Texas A&M can still win the National Championship if Jimbo Fisher has the courage to do what's right...
You know, after a long, luxurious rest on the aggie dime, I'd love to see Jimbo show up at Pig and basically beat Aggie annually but pretty much nobody else.
A man can dream

At this point PKs delayed blitzes are as self destructive, futile, and rage inducing as Diaz insta-mugging his LBs right into the LOS..
They don't work...
And.. yes they are.

Meh we stuffed the run that’s what those guys do. I was hoping Burke and hill would get some pressure they didn’t. Sweat was never going to sack penix. Murphy got close. Our tackles played fine but what you need against WA is Edge and no delayed blitz bullshit.

Michigan has had guys on the line just run right past slow unready linemen. They're pass rush is better.
Way better!
I and others pointed out that we had to edge contain and get a pass rush with 4.
Our blitz package was always late.

And rush the passer. And cover receivers. Three things we never really did all year. And those are the things we'll have to fix to ever get farther than we just did.
Our DBs were adequate when we got a pass rush, which we never did against Washington. Our game plan and execution both sucked against Washington. It felt that way early in the game.
Michigan's game plan and execution was not shitty.
And.. the results align to that reality.

we have deluded fans.
like Washington just magically got lucky last week, and it had nothing to do with our team. in reality, this Michigan D would have given us a ton of problems
At this level of play anyone who truly thinks any game is going to be a cake walk just has glassed too deeply rose tinted. It's okay to sunshine pump, but reality also has to play some part.

Michigan needs to get back to running the ball down their throats.
I suspect they will this set of downs. Probably out of power

Football people. Compared to Penix, what can Quinn do better with his sidearm delivery… for less balls batted down.
Lol well, don't throw with a defender right in front of you with his arms up for one.

"Missed opportunity for Michigan to build on this lead"....

Oh yeah, that game suuuucked. My college years I got to enjoy four years of OU losses thanks to Peter the Great, the 1990 season and the destruction of UH but also some brutal brutal games in 1989... bah-rutal... awful games like 1992 Texas v TCU (check out this FAN-tastic box score... https://stats.texassports.com/custompages/sports/m-footbl/archive/stats/92/ut-tcu.htm )
Yeah, I remember the Syracuse tie. Absolute ass. I hated ties. But then afterwards Rashaan Salaam's coming out party ( https://stats.texassports.com/custompages/sports/m-footbl/archive/stats/94/utcu.htm ) , the Rice game from the stands in Houston, etc. Ooofff...
But, for every one of those turds, I attended the 1996 UT-Mizzou rain delay game ( http://www.orangeblood.org/Sports/foot/1996/1996.missouri.html ) Ricky against A&M for the record, 1999 Texas vs Nebraska ( https://longhornswire.usatoday.com/2019/10/23/on-this-day-in-longhorns-history-texas-defeats-3-nebraska-10-23-1999/ ), Stony Clark, the 2005 season, both Rose Bowls, etc. etc.
What were we talking about again? F the Big 12.
We were definitely in college at the same time. This was like reading my own football diary. It's was a painful and sometimes soggy reminder of the past.
Rashan Salam and the Missery rain game.
You missed UCLA... me: 50 yard line, end of game, cancer stick in mouth, stretched out on 3 rows of bleachers. - Celebrating when we got the field goal to keep the scoring record alive. Yes, really.

Left Behind: A Quick Dose Of Post Big 12 Reality

Personally, my biggest issues always were with NU and aggie. However, I want to note my gratitude for all the joy aggie continues to provide. Watching both those teams go absolutely dumpster fire has been amusing.
CU tweaked me a bit because their fans largely suck based on personal experience but.. mostly their just fair weather annoying.
Tech makes me laugh.
