  1. I'm probably in the minority here, but:

    1). Really not interested in Arkansas as a permanent rivalry game.  IDGAF about how big the game was 50 years ago. TCU was also a big rivalry at times in our history.  

    Totally not excited to play the pigs every year (though they would absolutely love it)  

    2). I'm as big a fan of college football as you'll meet, but we've already reached a point where we keep adding games that mean less to your ultimate season results, and asking kids to risk serious injury up to 17 times. 

    Texas has been fairly healthy this year, but we're seeing some cumulative injuries to guys like Bond (who is a shadow of the threat he was back in September).

    We just saw Georgia lose at least two starters for the season in what was a fairly inconsequential game as it relates to a MNC (yes, winning your conference counts for something).

    9 SEC games + conference championship + 4 playoff games...

    I think 17 games for 20-year old kids is pushing it.  

    One partial fix is to keep an 8-game SEC schedule but punish teams in the tiebreakers who play Lamar or Texas State for their OOC.  I understand our conference mates would vote that down by a wide margin, but it would arguably be good for college football as a whole by making for more Texas v Michigan as opposed to Bama v Mercer.

    I almost feel bad for @Al_4_ISU, but after all the bullshit he threw on Texas in the realignment thread the last 3 years or so...

    Awww... Al is good people.  And I say that as someone who saw realignment very differently from him over the last couple years.  

    Let's distinguish between fellow sports fans (and good posters) who happen to root for a different school vs. mouthy bitches like Matt Campbell and Joey McGuire.

    I was a few days late seeing this clip... 

    Just "Wow."

    Hiding under Texas' skirt by claiming that a "Big 12 team" is in the SEC title game...  I mean, WTF?  

    First of all, it was apparent that by 2023, Sark had assembled an SEC roster (as evidenced by a double-digit win over the SEC champion on their home field), but we were still shackled by TV contracts to the Big 12.  

    The idea that Texas is "Big 12" team in December of 2024 is just such loserspeak - he should be embarrassed for trying to "claim" us somehow.  

    Reminder:  In reality, it was a lot more one-sided than 57-7 would lead you to believe.

    The original bowl projection a week or so back was aggy vs Tech in Houston, but I think that's too much to hope for

    Yeah, Liberty and Texas Bowls are SEC vs Big 12.  

    Sankey and the SEC have been very strategic about choosing bowl matchups for their teams.  I'll bet Sankey sends the Aggies *anywhere* other than those two spots... just to avoid the potential of getting a deflated Aggie program matched against Baylor, Tech, or TCU.  All three of those programs would be super excited to hang an L on them.

    Why the fuck do we keep snapping it with 20 seconds left in the clock?!

    I hear you, but the advantage is 1) offensive rhythm, and 2) don't get drive-killing false starts by making your linemen hold their stance for 25 seconds per snap.

    You need three pedals for that first one.

     

    the stryforce

    Having an issue with the deco, which is the new one. I saved $50 by buying it used from Sweetwater, which I’m now regretting because it is having an issue… basically kind of a crackling interference type noise in the background. I'm assuming this is power supply shit - my stupid pedalboard has been pretty static for years, the two older strymons (cap and flint) being powered by the 250ma spots on the pedalpower supply. I have the deco just running off of the supply it came with (which.... does look like what the pedal should have come with). I haven't had the time to do extensive troubleshooting, but I'm hoping... grounding issue? Maybe i'll try and record it and see if you guys can help troubleshoot.

    Strymon website says it needs 300mA minimum.  Maybe it's just not getting enough current?

    Do you have a Strymon power supply from one of the other two?  I'd try substituting one of those first.  

  7. I don't think there's a credible argument for "that's not holding."  It is.  

    There *might* be an argument for consistency, i.e. don't suddenly flag something that hasn't been flagged all day... but I kind of doubt the DBs on both teams were getting to yank the receivers hard enough to pull them off-balance on every snap.

    no idea why they just didnt fucking rule him ejected for unsportsmanlike 

    Yeah, if they're really interested in player safety, then taking a free full-speed shot at a punt returner who is standing still and looking up into the sky - that ought to get you ejected along with 15 yards and a 1-game (or more) suspension.  

    Sometimes I feel kind of bad for a defender who gets ejected for "targeting" when they're running up to make a play on a QB who's either already getting tackled or is about to slide.  A lot of it comes down to guessing if the runner is going to slide head-first, feet-first, or not at all... and if the defender guesses wrong, they get ejected plus they have to sit out another half.  I've seen several "targeting" collisions that seem like bad luck as much as malicious intent.  

    Contrast that to sprinting 45 yards toward a defenseless guy standing straight up.
