  1. I, for one, am grateful Bill Little takes time out of his retirement to post on Surly.
  2. Who knew that paying attention in the film room and showing up to practice were important? I suspect that the secondary was too busy looking at draft projections and a #6 ranking to bother.
  3. This isn't complicated. The team started smelling its own farts while looking at a #6 ranking, saw that OSU was not a very good team, and they decided to mail it in for 3 quarters. When they realized, "Oh, shit!" it was too late. It's not shocking, and it's exactly what you'd expect to see when a bunch of starters get benched for not showing up to practice. It's the same thing that happened over the offseason before Maryland: we thought we were too good to lose, so we did. This isn't a bad team or one that's filled with pussies, it's one that's frighteningly undisciplined that has no idea about the level of consistent effort required to win.
  4. Congratulations on winning the internets. Now fuck off.
  5. I don't think this team is a bunch of pussies. If they were, they'd have folded when they got down at the beginning of this game. Instead, they fought to come back, and nearly did. That said, this team so obviously lacks discipline it hurts. From feeling like they've made it so they don't need to show up to practice on time to coasting effort on the field at the start of the game to Hagar and Herman's bullshit at the end, this team set itself up to fail tonight, just like it did for Maryland. It's not that they don't try hard, it's that they don't try consistently.
  6. Has anyone seen andyv94 and OP at the same time?
  7. If we pull it out tonight, I'll be incredibly happy, but do the first 3 quarters not count?
  8. Today I learned that a loss to a not-very-good Mississippi State team helps aggy finish 2018 strong. Apparently quality losses are all part of the plan.
  9. Do you know how I know you're a bitch? Was that call terrible? Yep. But "OMG the game is rigged!" is aggy bullshit. Bad calls happen. Until we hit 2015 levels, STFU. You're embarrassing. Delete thread, light OP on fire.
  10. Is that more or less than the number of open receivers he's had when he's thrown into the ground or 5-10 yards off target? He's not losing the game tonight, but expecting him to bail out the team is foolhardy. I'm glad the guy had the game of his life during the biggest game of the season so far, but I just absolutely don't get all the love for him. It's not that I think he's terrible; since he's quit throwing back breaking interceptions, he's....fine, I guess? All I know is that the guy has an uncanny ability to make an amazing plays followed by throws that look like something from a not-particularly-talented 7th grader.
  11. Could Wheeler maybe quit fucking jogging casually towards the play?
  12. I'm not sure what part of "Fitzgerald back to pass....we've almost got him!........................................................................................................................... .............................................................. .............................................................. Okay we can get that back" is so unclear.
  13. And I thought the Kentucky/aggy game broadcast team was as bad as it could get.
  14. Do you even know how hard winning is?
  15. I'm legitimately unsure if both of you are trolling or are just mentally defective. I'm either case, I'm negging you both. It's the only way to be sure.
  16. Stats are for losers, right? How is your offense going, Coach Muschamp?
  17. To be fair, it's not like the guy could have much else going on in his life.
  18. Was that called in your Herman offense Mensanalysis thread? If so, a tip of the hat. I haven't watched a ton of Baylor football this year, but from my limited viewing, their LB corps is bad to very bad. Some tempo and passes to RBs to exploit mismatches could lead to easy scores, especially if they keep having to involve their secondary in the run game.
  19. Sous vide chuck roast with an herb crust and au jus, honey-glazed carrots, and a salad (and a shitty Instagram filter). Despite the questionable photography choices, this was really, really good. There's a great recipe from Chefsteps that I used. I've made sous vide chuck roasts before, but trimming it up and reassembling it made a huge difference to the final product: it was absolutely prime rib-like in taste and texture. Their idea of using the juices from the bag to make an au jus was also a great one, and I'll probably continue to use it when I make pan sauces in the future (and might save it to freeze).
  20. The German food from @Brisketexan and @PantsTent inspired me to see if I could fix my rinder rouladen recipe, and I was super pleased with the results. For those sadly impoverished souls who might not be familiar, it's basically a pickle wrapped in bacon wrapped in mustard slathered meat that gets braised, then served with brown gravy. It tastes like pot roast, but if pot roast was more deliciously complex and tasted better. Also there's pickle, which is completely non-optional. Removing it is like putting beans in chili.
  21. Wrong. One team wins, and the other gets a near victory over a sitting P5 SEC team.
  22. Terrible take. There's no chance Snell runs over anyone who is 5 yards away and behind him.
  23. I mean, there is a Stoops on the sideline.
