  1. Some numbers from last season for Texas and the other SEC, B1G, and ND playoff teams. RZ % is red zone tds and fgs, so scoring anything vs coming away with nothing. RZ sc/g is the total number of scores from the red zone per game (I would have preferred RZ ppg, but I couldn’t find that number easily). RZ TD % is the percentage of RZ attempts that are converted to TDs. RZ Att is total number of RZ attempts. 4th % and Att are totals not just in the red zone. PPG is total points per game, not RZ. These are all FBS ranks. Last season, of the major playoff teams, Texas got into the red zone the most but also came away with nothing most often. Scored a TD the second least. Their drives stalled out the most, and they settled for the FG the least, and despite the aggressive play, didn’t get TDs more often, and didn’t end up with more total points per game from it. They were also the highest in 4th down attempts and least successful in those attempts. A couple of comparisons there, Texas was tied with PSU & UGA in total 4th down conversions despite going for it more often. And ND was almost as aggressive on 4th down but significantly more successful in converting them. Edit: I calculated the points per attempt in the red zone for these 8 teams. In order from most to least points per red zone attempt: Indiana - 5.97 OSU - 5.69 PSU - 5.59 Oregon - 5.58 UGA - 5.5 ND - 5.3 Tenn - 4.95 Texas - 4.94
  2. This one was also amusing.
  3. ND scores again right before halftime. up 21 - 17
  4. I was really conflicted. I decided im rooting against LSU without rooting for Clemson.
  5. They better not pick that up. The wr gets there if he’s not held.
  6. Off target throws - 33%. Highest of any Texas QB in the last 10 seasons.
  7. I don’t expect them to go the way of Nebraska where they become completely irrelevant, but more part of the churn where some years they are playoff contenders and some years they’re trash.
  8. The comments that this game means nothing are just coping with the probability of losing it. This game doesn't mean anything if you win the rest. But if they lose another game it could be the difference in a home game vs a road game in the first round of the playoffs.
  9. That should be overturned. I don’t have faith in it happening
  10. Cuse scores to make it a game with 2 minutes left in the half and is now getting shredded to give it back before half time
  11. Why are Syracuse and Tennessee playing in Atlanta?
  12. They’re sec refs
  13. Pout about that drop pussy.
  14. God dammit I forgot I’m going to have to hear Gus say “world famous” 1000 fucking times.
  15. I hate that Fox puts their big game at noon, but this is a fucking fantastic kickoff to the season.
  16. My favorite Corso picks are when he gets to fire a gun. Cracks me up every time.
  17. #5 Indiana @ #2 osu Then 4 playoff games, and today.
  18. Was about to say “Terrible play on 3rd if you were going to go for it on 4th.” But when you can just run to the end zone uncovered on 4th and 9, I guess it doesn’t matter what you do the play before.
  19. I wasn’t saying that you not referencing ole miss was a bitch move, rather calling the writer a bitch when he talks about “factual information” without bringing up ole miss. And let’s not kid ourselves with the sec scheduling change. There is exactly one change of significance and that’s going to 9 conference games. Ole Miss can still have a non conference schedule of the citadel, Charlotte, and wake forest. The sec has taken the most bitch made approach to out of conference play as has been routinely discussed here. Get your big dogs a couple marquee wins, play fewer conference games than everyone else to boost the overall records of the conference, schedule fcs games in November so the conference trickles up the rankings when every other conference is taking an extra loss. It’s not surprising or mysterious. They were trying to maximize the perception of the league. The only reason the big ten and big 12 went a different direction was money. The sec is not doing this to be “a leader as a conference in scheduling”. That’s marketing bullshit. They are doing it because there is more money in a 9th conference game and the change to how the cfp looks at scheduling took some of the weight off of the scale for keeping 8 conference games. The pussy coaches will take the easiest path to the playoff. It’s exactly what you’d expect from schools like the Mississippi schools and Indiana. Psu has no excuse. UT, osu, bama, Clemson, etc schedule with stones because they recognize that fans would rather see them compete in marquee games that the whole country is watching even if that means losing that game because that’s more entertaining than seeing them beat a 3rd team by 50 points. It’s an administrative decision that is (or should be) above the coaches head because the coach might not be there by the time those games are played. Hopefully the change to the playoff evaluation of schedules changes the charmin approach to non conference games. UGAs non conference schedule for 2030 had Clemson, Ohio state, and GT. I think they can be forgiven for having NC A&T as the 4th game that year.
  20. Penn state’s future ooc schedule might be the most egregious given the tier of teams they want to be in. Texas, bama, OU, uga, Ohio state, UM, Clemson all schedule at least one non conference game of some significance each year. Usually it’s a national marquee game. They could find themselves fucked by the strength of schedule metric even when they aren’t at risk of missing the playoffs. Losing out on a bye, or having to play a road game in round 1. I’ll be interested to see what the strength of schedule metric looks like, but they’re absolutely setting themselves up to be on the wrong side of it. They should have a 6 year rotation home-home series with Pitt and wvu where 2/6 years your team is “off”. They should have a marquee game. And then with that 3rd game they can do whatever bullshit fbs team they want.
  21. IU’s scheduling is super soft. And I get the reasoning behind it if you’re Cignetti. W/L is the only metric used to evaluate a coach at a school like IU. It’s a bitch move, but it makes sense for him. Comparing them to the top end of the sec scheduling without any reference to ole miss is also a bitch move. Because that’s really the comparison team. A fringe playoff team that schedules like an absolute pussy. Ole Miss doesn’t have their ooc fcs team scheduled out past the next 2 seasons, but they’ll be there. So in the next 5 years ole Miss has: 0 P4 teams 2 road games (Charolette & S Alabama) 2 FCS games scheduled but we can safely assume both teams will be at 1 per year. 3 of their 8 future FBS teams had a winning record in 2024
  22. As a 14 handicap headed to 10, I’m now a 16 after a week in pinehurst.
  23. That’s awesome, and so fucking frustrating. How far was it? Was it a good shot or did he get lucky? My most regular playing partner almost got his first a couple weeks ago on a horrendous shot. 185 yds, hard pull that missed the green left by 15 yards, bounced around in a tree, fell out onto a slope, bounced down to the green and trickled past the hole.
  24. A couple things, one already mentioned is flexibility. There’s a good chance you’re not rotating your hips enough so that you can use the strength you have. Another thing a lot of people that struggle with power and/or an over the top swing do is they try to fire everything at the same time from the top of the back swing. The application of the strike from the wrists and arms fire to early and rather than a sequential addition of force, all of the force is spent too early leading to weak and inconsistent swings. If you played baseball it would be the equivalent of striding and casting the bat behind you at the same time and then just dragging it through the zone. Or jumping, extending your arm and flicking your wrist all at the same time when shooting a basketball. There is a sequencing to it. Something that helped me learn how to whip the club is turning your driver around and holding it upside down, with your hand at the hosel. Make one handed swings with each hand and hear where the whoosh of the club is the loudest. It should be just after where the ball would be, sort of in front of your lead foot. Make some swings getting the sound in the right spot and then try recreating that feel with the club turned around. Imagine you were trying to pound a railroad spike horizontally into the trunk of a tree at shin height with a sledge hammer. You wouldn’t yank a sledgehammer back and then yank it down. You’d instinctively, because it’s heavy, gradually add force to assist gravity with the movement without ever thinking about it. That’s why guys like Couples and Ernie Els made their power look so effortless. They have a nice smooth summation of force. Also, since you squat and deadlift, do you power clean? Its a great way to train explosive power production.
