  1. Tomorrow could be like the late Mack years, where everyone wanted the defense to get back on field so we would have an actual opportunity to score points.
  2. Somebody needs to show that second play to Sark. It's a "pirouette pitch". Sark is gonna love that play. I frankly can't believe he didn't think of it first.
  3. Is there somewhere that I can bet on a Texas -20 money line? I would do that.
  4. I really wanted to like it, since GameDay defenestrated themselves. But "poaching" the obviously unqualified and idiotic "The Bear" from Gameday was all I needed to know. There is a market for intelligent discussion about truly great collegiate football competitions. But presently nobody can do that, they just want to take off their shirts and do stupid stunts and fake eat terrible cold food and they refuse to fire Desmond.
  5. I like all of those ideas. The last sounds legally dubious, as any law requires some sort of objective basis that is not strictly political. Nothing outside of the last part sounds controversial. Banning using race in hiring etc.? Sure, ban racism. If you are opposed to race neutrality, you are a racist. I hate racism. It is illogical, immoral, and illegal according to the supreme court. Freeze tuition? Why not. The goal is to reduce administrative bloat. Grade inflation? We should have full disclosure regarding grades but we don't. I was in some intro 500 person class and the TA wrote 2.7 in big letters on the chalkboard and said "this is the class GPA". Wheat and chaff and all that. There's definitely been grade inflation, the Ivy's championed it mostly so they could get money from rich people. SAT - whatever, it's redundant, because of course you cannot assess potential without a standardized test. Harvard abolished this, realized they were admitting idiots, then reintroduced it. G is a thing. The international student thing is a national security issue. Firstly, they are guests and entitled to no privacy whatsoever. Second, we need to know if a Chinese or Russian national is studying cutting edge nuclear physics, doing advanced AI work, or learning bomb design in an engineering department. There is a serious crisis in higher education. This is an attempt to move things in the right direction, mostly via practical measures.
  6. We're terrible. They should win convincingly.
  7. Ricky in the backfield. Fuck yeah!!!!!!
  8. If we had Colt now, we would be far and away the favorite to win it all.
  9. Shit I didn't have a Twinkie until I was like 35. Rocked my fucking world.
  10. I was trying to pay my rent in Poland but the app wouldn't work, the bank wouldn't process the wire transfer, and when I offered cash she refused because she was a retired law professor who "didn't want to deal" with cash. After spending over $100 at $0.50 per minute on hold with customer service trying to work with a second bank after the one who wouldn't wire the money, I was told I just had to come into a branch and sign some form and they could wire the money. PNC doesn't have a branch in nowhere Poland, FYSA. My rater heard "I wasn't paying my rent" and without any justification ripped me a new one, told me not to go to work until I "paid my rent". The rent that I literally had in my hands but was told not to pay. Since I had the IBAN, I just went to the local branch of the Polish bank and deposited the money. After getting called into a meeting with my well meaning but ineffectual company commander and idiot first SGT. On a not unrelated note, I sat down on the toilet seat and broke it. When the landlord and US civilian came to look at it, they said "you can't sit on it". Because poor people LOL. They replaced it, and I promptly sat on it again and broke it. It stayed broke until I left. So yes, soldiers who don't pay their bills get proper fucked and with great haste, although to be fair mine was almost an international incident because my landlord was an attorney.
  11. 100% Gibson and Simon can get it done, >5 ypc for sure. Florida D<<<<<<Ohio State D
  12. I thought he did a good job. If I didn't know better, I would think he reads this board. He's a solid commentator. He seems to get paid by Aggies or some such shit, but that doesn't bother me because I am not a bedwetting vagina pussy.
  13. I used to go outside and get my axe and start chopping whatever I could find. I would be covered in wood chips by the end of it, didn't care what was happening with the game at that point.
  14. I was as emotionally damaged by Arch's incompetence as anyone, but even I can't believe we're that shitty.
  15. Their defense does look good statistically. But we've run for >5 ypc so far, even against OSU. And I think we can more or less trust in the defense shut down their opponent. So maybe not a blowout, unless the Gators fully quit on the season already, but potential for one if we get "good Arch". But predictions are hard, especially about the future.
  16. I'm gonna assume you're playing devil's advocate. I mean, we have a decided schematic advantage, that being that our players are a lot better than their players.
  17. Username checks out.
  18. From memory, didn't we have ten 10 win seasons in a row? It could be worse.
  19. I am as happy and anyone else that we didn't lose this weekend. But I am suffering from a crisis of faith in Sark. I am starting to think he's Mack 2.0. I don't see killer instinct, I don't see Sark doing the ruthless things that have to be done to win. I think he is making tactical corrections where strategic decisions are necessary, for example his predictable and terrible play calls. I hope and pray I will be proven wrong.
  20. I was at the Arkansas game today, I wondered a similar thing.
  21. Fuck A&M and the horse they rode in on.
