    This new music sucks. Same thing our dads said to us, and their dads said to them. 
    We’re getting older. 

    All true.  
     

    But my disdain for Bro Country has nothing to do with its newness.  There are a ton of even newer genres that I either embrace or am indifferent towards.  

    My disgust for it is based on the distinction between art and commerce.  And the fact that the teams of (mostly Nashville-based) musicians/producers/engineers making it actually *could* make great art if they chose to do so.  
     

    But they don't.

    Kai Money was Herman era.  

    Just an aside here, but that example speaks to the absolute transformation of our roster under Sark.  

    Under Herman, how many 1-score struggles were we in with the Baylors, Iowa States, and KUs of the conference, and we'd have a critical 4th-quarter possession, and we're running out there with a scrappy walk-on at one WR, and on the other side, we've got Epps?

    In 2024, if we have a 2nd-half possession and (for whatever reason) we wanted to rest our starters, we'd be rolling out there with some combo of Wingo, Golden, or Bolden.  

    The talent level and depth of some of these position groups is just crazy... RB the last couple years, WR this year.... you're talking about a room full of guys where the 4th-man-up has NFL potential. 

    It's Alabamesque.

  3. Also, I just had a chance to re-watch the game, and it was even more of an ass-kicking than I remembered.  

    I mean, two possessions into the 3rd Q, and Texas had 24 points while Michigan had 10 yards of offense.  That's the kind of box score disparity you see when a great team plays Southwestern Tallahassee Night School... except we did it on the road against the defending national champion.  

    Crazy.

    I meant #1 in terms of all time wins, not ranking.  Did we go into 06 as #1 with Colt as QB?

    I think Colt had the record of career wins for a starting QB - and he only held that record for a year.  

    I'm not sure if we ever got into the top-2 or -3 as a program. 

  5. I tried to use the ESPN app on my phone to watch one of the late games yesterday, and it blocked me.  In the past, the app has asked who my cable provider was (it's ATT).  

    So even though I had turned off the wifi on my phone and was using a cell signal, it *STILL* gave me an error message saying, "your provider is not available" or something like that.

    In other words, just because they're having a fight with the company that gives me cable television, they decided to completely block **all** ESPN access on my phone EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T AT HOME AND WASN'T USING ANY ATT WIFI.

    Such bullshit.  

    I feel like this could be cross-posted in the "great enshittening" thread.

    ND just lost their shot at playoffs in 2nd week.... Their schedule now an anchor

    Last week vs Aggies, the network was putting up ND schedule, and pointed out "favored in every game the rest of the way!!!"  

    It was laughable in real time.  Anyone who had watched that game would have projected 2 or 3 losses, minimum.

  7. Both teams in playoffs last year.  

    Michigan sends 13 guys to NFL.

    Texas sends 11.

    Only one of these two teams looked "gutted" (as described by ESPN).

    We went out and completely reloaded our WR room.  Added Mukaba, who was everywhere today.  

    I know coaches must hate having to recruit every player in the country in every off-season (including their own roster), but since teams have to address their *immediate* needs every off-season, it's gonna be only slightly less consequential than recruiting high school kids.
