I mean I don't want us to actually do it but CDC needs to leak to ESPN that he will cancel our upcoming big OOC games if this year shows that is what's best for Texas. If he hasn't already.
I'm not sure that game matters. I think we pass Vanderbilt this week even if they win. I still think (maybe it's only hope) that everyone is underestimating the impact of our win. Based on the CFP rankings everyone is using as a basis, it is the best win in the country this year.
I mean we all realize that A&M has one real win all season at Notre Dame and zero wins against the entire top half of their own conference but they were the #3 team in the rankings. We should absolutely jump Vanderbilt regardless. Utah, too. Arguments start at Miami (which we should jump but at least I can understand arguments there).
Huh? You're saying college football is being damaged because North Texas and Tulane are only partially relevant in the national championship picture. Are you listening to yourself?
North Texas and Tulane haven't mattered AT ALL since Tulane's heyday over 90 years ago. If you think more teams mattering is good for the sport you should be ecstatic about the current state of the sport.
I haven't watched much this year, are our low turnovers forced and low opponents A/FGM numbers related? Are we a sagging defense that doesn't force passes and invites iso by our opponents? Or am I reading those wrong?
So you have no actual logic behind your position as expected.
I hope everyone here notices this. I frequently get castigated for calling people stupid too quickly, but here you can see I only asked for elaboration. The fact that this poster's elaboration merely proved that they're a moron is not my fault.
You have zero idea if it was a catch or not, you have zero idea if it was bobbled or not, no available camera angle shows that.
You are assuming the referee made the right call but have nothing to support it. That's fine, but acting like the video supports your argument is absurd. In fact, the only thing it supports is that the receiver never acted like he had control, his body language is indicating that he is fighting for the ball until it popped out. And the whole "explain how it got from the 35 to the 30" is the dumbest argument I've ever seen. How about the fact that it was thrown and was therefore moving faster than the players? Are you equally flummoxed as to how the ball got from the 19-yard-line to the other 35 despite not being in anyone's possession?
"Please take our sport seriously, these are serious athletes who bust their ass and we deserve to be treated like a bigtime sport!"
"Also, please don't act like bigtime athletics and hurt anyone's feefees."
This is always the correct attitude after a big early season game. You know the opponent will be better in March, you better plan on working so you're better then, too.
He looked so good that using only his passer rating from his "good" game today and not his previous appearance, he would rank 25th in the NFL among qualifiers.
Honestly it's nuts to me that they're saying Dallas had a 1 in 27 chance to win at the point shown below. I would have thought it to be much lower because they factor in team ratings, etc.
So we will be right behind Vanderbilt in this week's rankings. That will start an interesting dialogue when we have the head-to-head but we scheduled Ohio State and not Virginia Tech.
We will see how seriously they take their talk about rewarding or at least not punishing teams who schedule great non-conference games (hint: not that seriously).
We have zero urgency in these situations. I know it doesn't matter but there should be pride in playing to a standard. Regardless of game situation or if you're third string.
