    24 seconds left in the 4th quarter, Kentucky out of timeouts. How did they end up with a stopped clock? The Kentucky WR was tackled in bounds.

    Yeah, that was pretty egregious, and highly impactful.  His knees and elbows and hips... ALL hit the ground in-bounds and then he slid out.  It was effectively a free timeout for Kentucky, saving enough clock for at least two extra snaps on the drive that let them tie the game.

    I'm sure glad we didn't have to hear this cock-goblin', dirt burglar song much last week.

    Someone else made an observation that I think is totally true:  It's hard to remember a Texas-OU game in the last 10 years with fewer momentum swings.  OU fans had almost no big plays to cheer for.  No turnovers.  Very few chunk-yardage plays.  Nothing on special teams.  Just a few first downs and a couple mid-range FGs.  

    Their biggest cheers all day were for pregame OU douchebaggery (trying to pick fights during warm-ups) and for Mateer taking the field.

    Miami is such a fraud. I don't care what anyone else believes. If it weren't Cristobal as HC, I might take them more seriously. 

    Yeah, they're what Georgia was up until the last 5 years:

    Pre-season top-10

    Feast on cupcake schedule

    Go 3-3 vs teams with a pulse.

    Finish 9-3.

    Pre-season top-10

    Repeat.

    They'll make the playoffs, but I cannot imagine a Miami team winning four tough, physical playoff games to end a season.

    Probably already mentioned, but worth repeating. 

    OU offense had zero snaps inside the red zone. Furthest they got all game was the TEX 23 yd line. 

     

    OU hasn't snapped it inside the Texas 20 since 2023.

  5. Did anyone see this coming?  

    I don't follow Bama all that closely, so I didn't really have an opinion on the Tide... but I sure heard a lot of pundits assure us they'd be "back" this year.

    AD, Worthy, Whittington, Golden, Bond the last 2 years vs. this WR room where Wingo is the only player getting snaps who could be a Day 1/Day 2 pick on paper

    Yeah, I thought the biggest question marks were 1) can the transfer DT's just be serviceable vs good running teams, and 2) are the WRs who waited their turns to be starters good enough to threaten a defense?

    So far:  yes, and no.

    Man, what I would give for Golden, Bolden, Worthy, or Mitchell.

    First half assessment:
    Defense really good

    Offense is ass

    Yeah, our transfer DTs have done a pretty good job, and that felt like the biggest question mark coming into the game.  The defense is one poorly-timed penalty from shutting out some of the best skill players in the country.  

    The offense is just terribly out-of-sorts, and given Sark's history of superb pre-game preparation in games like this (Bama, Michigan), that's a massive disappointment.

    What a terrible play call.

    Counting on Sorsby and these receivers to win this game when you're gashing Nebraska on the ground.

    Yeah, at the beginning of that drive, they were averaging 6.8 yards per rush and less than 2 yards per completion.  

    And they came out with five wide.

    Ugh.

  9. Cincinnati goes into the fourth quarter averaging 5.7 yards per rush, yet they only have one touchdown.  

    That seems like bad coaching to me.

    They're like a bear, with these fangs and these big claws.  And they're just saying, "How do I kill the bunny?"

    My extensive legal analysis (ChatGPT) of 49 U.S. Code § 41724 and its implementing rule, 14 CFR Part 251 says that this rule is subject to there being space on the plane for it to fit. Also says not all airline personnel understand this and implementation may vary so be prepared to raise hell if you have to and make sure you get on early.

    Careful, AUTF.  tbone is going to bill you for 75 minutes of work related to this case.

  11. "Creek people" is such ominous shorthand for "kids who lived in the neighborhood and used to sneak out and meet up to drink alcohol."

    (edit) If that is the criteria, then pretty much everyone on this thread was a member of "vacant lot people," "local park people," "undeveloped wooded area people," etc.  

  12. A few random thoughts after episode 3:

    1.  In a case with both incriminating and exonerating evidence, the filmmaker has a lot of power to influence your opinion.  In this case, it seems like Margaret Brown had a shit ton of hours of "confession" footage to pick from, and she could show either the most absurd moments (things that objectively couldn't have been true) or the most incriminating moments to push us either way.  

    2.  The fact that two of the suspects in completely separate interviews told a story about one of them (Scott?) attempting to rape a girl but being unable to "perform".... I mean, that seems like a HIGHLY specific and consistent anecdote where it strikes me as EXTREMELY unlikely that each of them just came up with that detail independently.  

    3.  It occurs to me that this might be a case study of the failures of the Reid interview techniques:  it generates confessions (often false) from the weaker and arguably less-culpable suspects, but fails to obtain one from a the ringleader/sociopath.  There doesn't seem to be any dissent from either these four suspects or from law enforcement or from the "creek people" who casually knew them that Maurice was the "alpha" among these four (though lately that term is wildly overused).

    4.  My observations in both #2 and #3 might be wholly due to #1.
