  1. No its idiocy to talk about pulling your starting QB that has a grand total of 3 starts under his belt and only one of one of which was on the road against a defense with a pulse. He's going to have growing pains. Most people that understand football expect that. Guess what. He's going to miss more throws and throw more picks. And "fans" like you will be calling for the backup just like you have the last 3 years I'm sure. He's only going to get better if he plays through it. Nothing more idiotic than fans that think QB2 is the answer to every loss year in and year out.
  2. First road start against a top 3 team and you are talking about pulling the QB LOL. JFC the idiocy on this board
  3. The sky is falling takes by too many on this board are as expected. Texas fans are largely morons. I told all the idiots predicting a 20+ point win they were smoking crack and this was a coin flip game. No doubt these are the same idiots ready to give up on Arch and claiming Sark can't win a big game. Clowns.
  4. How the F is he going to move Dak? Putting the no trade clause aside, it's a god awful contract nobody would want. Good luck with that Jerry if that is his plan.
  5. It's a horrible trade for numerous reasons. Imagine the haul they could have gotten in March if they put it out they were going to trade him pre-draft. THAT could have been something like the Herschel trade. Instead, they traded him when they had a gun to their head. Beyond idiotic.
  6. Except for the fact that a competent GM would have either got an extension done or a trade done before the draft or at least well before the season is about to start now with a gun to his head. There isn't any way to put lipstick on the pig of the constant and perpetual front office incompetence. They couldn't have fucked up Dak/CeeDee/Micah contract negotiations more if they tried.
  7. Just embrace it for the comedy that it is.
  8. Which might make sense if they were in (and would commit to) a full blown rebuild, but instead they way overpaid both Dak and CeeDee because they were too stupid to get those deals done earlier. The likely late first rounders they will net from this trade will certainly help them to continue to achieve mediocrity though. Great work Jerry!
  9. This. I pay only half way pay attention for the retarded reality show that it is. I can't fathom how anyone remains an actual 'fan' of a Jerry Jones owned and managed franchise. Hope we get several Parsons sacks on Dak just to see the camera pan over to Jerry in his Suite.
  10. The infamous Mike Leach fake script game got them up 17-0. But by halftime we were back in control of that one.
  11. 98 was John Blake LOL. Stoops was coach in '99 with his first team and we had a significant talent advantage. Who started in 2000 and how did that go?
  12. The problems against OU in that era started and ended with Mack Brown. It didn't matter who was playing QB.
  13. The game nobody really recalls from that era was @KSU in 2002. That was a really good KSU team we beat on the road. In 2001 I think Miami would have rolled us in any event had we beaten CU (would have been nice to get a shot) but would have really liked to see how the '02 team fared in a 12 team playoff back then.
  14. I was present when Simms rolled up to the SAE house to confront some bitch ass frat boy that prank called him/heckled him incessantly. As you might suspect he hid inside as his buddy's tried to apologize profusely. Reading that gets me fired up again almost 25 years later. There might not have been a single person that knew Simms (or in particular knew both Simms and Major) that didn't stand up for the guy when dumbass fans that had no idea who he was or what he was about talk about those days.
  15. I mean we've read all camp about our OL getting their asses kicked, we're still shuffling players this week to find our best 5 and the tackle we probably felt the best about on the entire line is injured, "likely" playing (but OTF still hedging and I think we all know he would be sitting if this was Sam Houston and not OSU), we've lost our #3 tackle for the year and I don't know if anyone knows definitely who goes in this game if Goosby gets reinjured, is ineffective or god forbid gets sidelined by training staff last minute. Given that, I'm completely fine giving OSU the edge at OL even if they are fucking average. My expectations are incredibly low for our OL play. It's not like we didn't witness first hand the downside of an injured tackle playing against OSU in the last game we played. I hope I'm completely wrong. I'm also pretty optimistic that by mid-season they are a pretty solid group if healthy. Just a tough draw + injury luck to start the year.
  16. JFC. Why are you you. Just because political rage consumes every single aspect of your pathetic life doesn't mean everyone else wants that.
  17. It's pretty simple to me. Talk about impact of Trump firing Fed on markets? 100% valid for this thread and expected. Debating validity/legality of Trump firing fed inevitably leading to fucking Epstein talk? Cloak Room. I don't disagree it's a slippery slope (and I've gotten caught up in it myself on DT) but we've all seen how the fucking Cloak Roomers can't help go full blown politics once it gets started and then the thread completely jumps the shark, so would be nice to try to keep on subject and debate the merits/politics in the threads where that debate is no doubt taking place.
  18. Seriously. Already ruined DT. Keep that nonsense out of this forum.
  19. This is damn near precisely the point CDC made to me probably 6 years ago regarding college football in general when chatting about scheduling after I asked whether he still had any ability to influence game times for the fan. Hence why we have our first 2 home games in miserable Texas September afternoon heat (that I won't be attending).
  20. 100%. Heard that 20X and they all thought it was hilarious and original.
  21. I've been around Ohio St. fans that travel (with means to travel so not the poors) numerous times since then and didn't have an issue (including sitting in a 50/50 section at the semifinal last year). That portion is pretty solid fans. But '05 was unlike anything I've ever seen. We went in Thurs night and went to a bar after dinner and it started there (aggressive in your face shit talking). When it first started I thought those guys were joking considering teams had never played. It was bizarre. But the game and gameday in particular was the perfect storm because (i) 8PM local kick so 12+ hours of drinking, (ii) weekend before school started so everyone just coming back into town and (iii) heavy "community college" or non-OSU student component (i.e., "NFL Fan" that also roots for the Buckeyes). All the stories that were told were not hyperbole. Worst I've ever seen and I've been to Lubbock for 6 or 7 games. No desire to go back so I'm staying put for this one (and even a few days out no regrets on that decision) but buddy I went with 20 years ago couldn't resist. Hopefully better experience.
  22. Isn't Fox starting their own streaming platform + a future bundle with ESPN? If so, certainly seems to make sense to me that Fox would be playing hardball if about to try to compete for sports streaming memberships. Nothing to do with politics, this is business. I'm a huge YTTV fan so hope they get it worked out.
  23. LOL. Because coaches are always straight up about injuries. JFC. You new to college football? Hopeful he can go and play well but it isn't a "minor injury".
  24. This. He said Goosby available but of course he doesn't ask an obvious follow up "who is the next tackle up if he struggles or is re-injured"?
  25. Oh, I realized it's not a 'hot take'. But the majority of posters have us winning this game handily and I think they are smoking crack. These are the same posters that will be wanting to fire someone if we end up losing.
