    I watched the oSu game with my mom, she's pushing 80 and was pissed we didn't keep oSu in the teens. I looked at her and said "mom, we haven't won the conference since 2009, we haven't played in the conference title since 2018. Let's be happy, 49-21 is still an ass-kicking." She huffed, muddled "well, that's true" and went about her disgruntled way ... the Texas way.

    Your mom is a badass boss bitch!! Good for her!!

    I think you're misreading it a bit. The way I see it is that there is higher volatility/variability with the Washington matchup than the Michigan matchup. I roughly know what kind of game to expect from our matchup with Michigan given the strength on strength situation. I expect it would be fairly similar to our game against Alabama with one team or another taking a late lead. I wouldn't expect a blowout either way. With Washington, the strength on weakness matchup for both teams creates a lot of possible outcomes. We could blow out Washington if our D plays similar to last year, but cleans up the run game better by playing more disciplined. On the other hand, if our offense goes into one of the funks it has been known to do or if our D plays passively, trying to read and react, we could get blown out. I don't think that is as likely as us dominating, but it is possible. Washington is a puncher's chance type of team because of its offense, and I always hate playing those teams because there is a higher element of chance in the outcome. Frankly, you see that in their SP+ rating and in their post-game predicted chance to win in a lot of their games.  Michigan is the better team between them. But Washington is scarier because of that random chance element. 

    I think this too is a fair assessment. I guess, deep in my hopelessly hopeful brain I hope Sark keeps the gas pedal all the way down in the 3rd and if so, really do believe we can run away on Washington. I do not think that possible with Michigan nor... Bama (which is the least interesting game to me and possibly the nation). Win yes, runaway no.

    I think all 4 teams in the CFP deserve their spots, I think they ARE the 4 best teams in the country right now, and I think any one of them could beat any other.  That's going to make this year's CFP a lot of fun.

    It'll obviously be even more fun for us, if the Horns win.  

    But if not, it's still been a fantastic season, and one I'll remember fondly forever.  It's not like Texas has been just piling up the football conference championship trophies lately.  This one is special and meaningful.

    Now, let's see the team go beat the shit outta U-Dub.

    As usual, you make good points. A bit lost in all the excitement is how great this season has been regardless of what happens in New Orleans and hopefully Houston.

    I'm made my prediction here already, and I openly admit, that i think Michigan's uniforms are the second best in the country.

    I'd love nothing more than to watch the Storm Troopers take the field against Blue again like I did in the 04 Rose Bowl. 🌹 

    Let's fucking go!

    re this idea that Texas fans are overlooking Michigan ... and frankly Washington (fans) overlooking Texas...

     

    Re the Michigan match up:

    I think many think Texas matches up well with Michigan because our D strength matched up with their O strength and Michigan does not have a heisman caliber QB to torch our secondary. I think the assumption is if our weakest link is not exposed we can be truly dominate on D. I suspect that's largely true. The Michigan match up is basically strength on strength, not strength on weakness (unlike the Washington match up).

    I think most overlook Michigan's D matched up with our O. Many are assuming that our O is our strength, and to that point Sark can game plan for 30 points against their D and boom we win.  That's the oversight on our part. That is very much an unknown fact IMO. But I don't see anyone assuming Texas walks all over Michigan.

    Re the Washington match up:

    The Washington match up is strength on weakness, not strength on strength and our fan base is probably more sure about strength on strength.  Clearly Washington fans see their strength on our weakness (their passing game versus our secondary) and are failing to see Texas' strengths are a major issue for them. Texas will stop the Washington run game. Texas will score at least 30 points. Both of those Texas strengths match up very well with Washington. Washington fans completely dismiss that and then focus on Penix vs. our secondary which is a huge reason why they should be confident.

    This is how I view it as well, and you clarify it far better than I. So thanks!

    I haven't seen anyone say UM is a cakewalk, just that they are a better matchup for us than UW because the passing game and our secondary. 

    That was the bulk of it. Maybe I am just making shit up, but that didn't seem to be the Tobe.

    I actually do disagree on the match up, I think Michigan is a tougher win and better than Bama or Washington. However, I do understand the match aspect vs our D for sure though. Mostly I think Washington had a shitty D and know Michigan has a strong run D which could cause us issues.

    I hope to find out and I really wasn't trying to incite a debate, just reflecting the impression I got.

    You should show us where all of these posters are calling Michigan a cakewalk. Not one idiot, because that’s not what your post implies. If there’s a group of posters on here declaring Michigan a cakewalk, that would be interesting to read. 

    It was primarily in the thread prior to the committees decision. Cake walk isn't exactly what was said, but strongly implied. I suppose I could go look them up, but I'm okay with you thinking me full of shit. I'm admittedly an idiot after all.

    That depends on which side of the ball you are looking at.. 

    Michigan gives up 0.81 pts per drive (#1)

    Bama 1.64 pts/drive (#19)

    Washington 2.03 pts/drive (#45)

    Texas is #13 at 1.45.. 

     

    This is the best match-up for the offense by far

     

    Yeah.. the broader Surly vibe is Washington is scary Michigan is a cake walk.

    I strongly disagree with the second vibe. In fact, think we match up better against Washington than Michigan, but I'm an idiot and don't know shit.

  8. You know, I've not yet posted in this thread but have kept up with it.

    It donned on me that this entire thing is like a Mexican Novella to me.

    I know that the plot is drama and bullshit. I speak just enough Spanish to get the basic idea of what's occurring, but not specifics. I don't really need them because the only real reason I haven't changed the channel immediately is because of the eye candy. As soon as the eye candy goes away, I do to. 

    So... I know Deion isn't in this for the long haul. He doesn't give a shit about CU at all. Mostly, like when he was at Jackson, he's really there to pimp his son. Secondary cause is con his way into another job. I don't know enough about his motivation or any details to know any depths, and I really don't care. I'm just waiting for the train wreck and occasionally checking in for signs it's coming. When there are no signs.. I change the channel.

    Manufactured drama sells, but it doesn't hold my attention for long, particularly if smoking hot Latin women in tight outfits aren't involved.

    Supporting evidence:

    This feels like a 38-34 game to me. 

    The last thing I want is for UW to have the ball down 4 with 90 seconds left.

    You and I are pretty close in our prediction. I think the over is a very safe bet at around 64 points. I'd personally avoid giving or taking 4 on either side. I anticipate Texas win by 3-4 points but expect a decent lead at half around 9-13 point or 21-24 Texas -7-14 Washington (21-10 is my call) At that point I think Washington flings it around and Sark gets a tad conservative. If that sounds familiar... well... 

    I think it goes a tad higher than you 38-42 Texas.

    BUT... IF, and it's a huge if, Sark actually keeps his foot on the gas peddle, ALL THE WAY DOWN.. Texas win 48-21.

    I know this was 25 pages ago, and obviously has been covered, well, by everybody, but...

     

    ...some of you don't watch aggy games? They are usually more entertaining than this thread, for the same reasons, but live and in color. And you presumably enjoy this thread.

     

    As has been explained with many good (of an inexhaustible supply of) examples, you're missing out.

    I watched the aggie self destruction against Kentucky, I think 2012, in Madison Wisconsin before enjoying the Badger curbstomping of Nebraska in their first B1G game. 

    I was in a bar with an a&m graduate who shall not be named. 😉 Aggies were up big time, I was housed and said a&m graduate stated they were going to fold. I mistakenly suggested a $20 bet he was wrong. There was simply no way.

    So, now you have one guy in a Longhorn shirt and Whisky cap, actively pulling for aggie while standing next to an a&m graduate in an aggie shirt (and whisky hat) hoping they lose.

    Did I mention I was with friends that graduated from Whisky and Corn? 

    There was a LOT of confusion as to wtf was going on in that bar.

    Tldr: epic aggie fail is epic and it was the best $20 I ever lost.

    Import edit - I attended the game in the aforementioned attire with 3 Nebraska grads.. who WERE friends.

    I couldn’t start watching this…it is too bad.

    It's so poorly put together, shot, edited and "acted" that when you combine it with the content it really did feel like a David Lynch comical treatment of Aggie. I truly had tears rolling due to how bizarrely amusing it was.. no need for sound. View it as a Surealist film of a real culture.

    Aggie Fish camp online. Editing tip; it's always best to make sure the horizon line is leveled in the camera prior to shooting, so it doesn't look look like people are walking in an "anti-gravity room." 

     

    I couldn't stop watching this is so bad. I'm fucking crying laughing asshole. Was this directed by David Lynch? Am I being trolled?

    It’s a trend I’ve seen in other games.   Anytime the defense does a last second sub, they need to add five seconds to the play clock.    Problem solved.  

    Or delay of game on the defense.

    She's out of your league. That's what it means. 

    I'm not sure I fully agree with your assessment. Based purely on the time in the hood during my youth, her terminology might be a play on the term turned out. In hood or Grove Rat parlance, turning out is turning a girl into a prostitute (or guy into a punk ass bitch, which typically occurs in prison). So, in this specific case I believe it more apt to say she's out his fiduciary means, which is likely. However, that doesn't mean she's not ALSO out of his league, which is also likely. 

    For the record, so as not to sound judgmental, I'm confident she's also out of my league and financial realm as well, which means "I has cry".

    Is there one with a specific black couch?

    Well, not as such. After exhaustive data research I was able to discover some good information.

    She is a fan of black clothing:

    There are however seating arrangements involved based on my data recovery:
