  1. They played them in 2019. That's it since they joined.
  2. Should be another scintillating 13-10 game.
  3. Maybe Mitchell comes back when he realizes our NIL offer of 5 bucks and a case of Diet Dr Pepper is the best he can find.
  4. Make it so the enter key (a return) goes one line instead of double spacing. Shift+enter is a workaround on a computer but on mobile it's not possible. Well I guess there's probably some modified keyboard app but I don't want to deal with that shit. If you set it up this way then everyone's fine because you can just hit enter twice if you want double space between lines.
  5. You really try too hard sometimes.
  6. You read too many recruit tweets.
  7. Man that would be smart for him. Replacing Payton Thorne. He might have found a P4 school where he would be an upgrade.
  8. I have always favored an automatic bid for any conference champion to make it a real playoff. However I don't think that ever happens in football, best we can hope for is any conference champion in the CFP top 25. So a 16 team field with straight seeding and automatic bids for any conference champ in the top 25 this season would be #16 Army @ #1 Oregon #9 Boise St. @ #8 Indiana #13 Miami (FL) @ #4 Penn St. #12 Arizona St. @ #5 Notre Dame #15 Clemson @ #2 Georgia #10 SMU @ #7 Tennessee #14 Ole Miss @ #3 Texas #11 Alabama @ #6 Ohio St.
  9. What do you mean by historically a major player? Because the current #1 team in the country checks a lot of those boxes and isn't a blue blood by any means.
  10. Lol Mack. Greatest fear was to be followed by a legend.
  11. Clemson is about the same team strength as A&M. Different ways of getting there but would be a pick'em type game at a neutral site.
  12. There's a reason the spread is where it is and why most places have it an 80/20 game for Texas, because that's what it is. I've got it in the 30-17 to 31-20 range on average. That means Texas has some wiggle room but not much. The more important things to discuss instead of worst case scenarios are things like Kelvin Banks's and Bond's recoveries, what the hell Jeff Banks does these days, and if Sarkisian is going to cut the crap with the 5 fakes in the backfield stuff.
  13. The point is that your analysis is fairly worthless. Yes, Texas will lose if they play poorly while Clemson plays their best game. Great. Now what happens if Texas plays their best while Clemson plays poorly? Something like 41-7 Texas. But who gives a shit about edge cases. We've covered them now so how about everyone stops crying about their nightmares?
  14. I admonished the vaginal caterwauling around here before the A&M game and your version is even dumber. "But what if we play as badly as we've played all year and they play better than they have all year? What then?" Scintillating analysis.
  15. Plus you figure his current head coach will give Texas the straight info on him.
  16. Holy shit our fanbase is so ridiculous. "Not sure if we can line up and just run against anyone" Non-sack rushing for Texas 40-196 32-143 34-197 51-243 29-200 29-183 20-88 30-133 30-219 39-146 46-256 49-244 22-58 It looks like we can run against everyone except one game against one team. Our first game against Georgia was fine on straight runs, Sarkisian tried to run wide way too often in the second game.
  17. It was better when athletes were the only students at the university who weren't allowed to transfer to any other school whenever they wanted. You know, they need to be treated just like every other student except they have to be locked where they are so I can watch them play sports.
  18. Standard internet fan stuff. Dan Lanning's team is undefeated so he is the greatest coach in all the land who never makes mistakes!
  19. Well it's two weeks away so there will definitely be at least periods of time where they're lower. But there's a chance that they go up right at the end when people realize they can save on travel and hotel costs by going to this one instead of Atlanta.
  20. Not nearly as feasible with neutral sites for the quarters and semis. People are already making hotel reservations for later rounds. In the NFL those are all home games. And it's silly anyway. The issue is the seeding, reseeding doesn't fix that.
  21. That reminds me, green turf should be a requirement for home playoff games.
  22. I don't think that will happen because bowls are tied to New Year's timing. I still say the solution is guaranteeing the top 4 conference champions a bye or home game. So guarantee them a top 8 seed, not a top 4.
  23. Again, all those easy not top 25 teams we beat have wins against Ole Miss (x2), Alabama (x2), Tennessee, Missouri (lol they're #19), and Ohio State.
  24. He does a decent job of being impartial but until he publicly states it was absolutely ridiculous for him to get a medical year for being a drunk asshole I'll go ahead and continue disliking him.
  25. I would assume neutral conferences so we'll probably get Big 12 refs. Ha.
