  1. 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.
  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. Plus you figure his current head coach will give Texas the straight info on him.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Standard internet fan stuff. Dan Lanning's team is undefeated so he is the greatest coach in all the land who never makes mistakes!
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. That reminds me, green turf should be a requirement for home playoff games.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. I would assume neutral conferences so we'll probably get Big 12 refs. Ha.
  15. Wait he picked Clemson to win the National Championship? Hahaha
  16. I mean it makes me wonder how much extra value Ohtani turned down from the Mets. Didn't people report that they never made an official offer because it was too high? What the fuck? If you're willing to give Soto $765M in current money then Ohtani is worth a billion.
  17. None of it is deferred, that deal is worth a LOT more than Ohtani's deal.
  18. I mean it makes sense but limiting membership in your own organization is more defensible. They probably would have figured out a way to lose, though.
  19. Don't ask. Just be glad we can be terrible along with our opponents.
  20. I was actually thinking of this yesterday. It added to the frustration of not putting Georgia away in the first half. An extra 11 days off for a total of 3.5 weeks would have been amazing for our banged up squad.
  21. Wasn't there some rule for a while that to be FBS you had to average 30k official attendance (meaning tickets sold)? Or am I making that up?
  22. See? He's 19-8 in GAMES. He's a GAMER.
  23. watchoutforyourcornholebud.gif
  24. Yeah I saw you posted that well before the announcement. I think Boise State should be the 12th seed but with Jeanty they're a media darling.
