  1. Got smoked again last week. This year has been brutal... now 35-41-1. Ouch. Final card for the week (I like the picks, okay): UCF -3 vs SMU Clemson -20.5 @ Boston College Alabama -24 vs Aggy U45.5 K-State @ Iowa State Miss State -8 vs Arkansas Coastal Carolina -14 @ UL-Monroe Western Kentucky +6.5 @* UTSA Air Force -10 @ Utah State Nevada -3.5 vs Colorado State Duke -3 @ Georgia Tech Notre Dame -3.5 vs* BYU O45 Tulsa @ Navy Memphis -3 vs Houston Notre Dame -3.5 N BYU Washington State +13 @ USC
  2. Aight, time to roll. Week 5: BYU -24 vs Utah State LOSS, SMFH Houston -5 vs Tulane (Tulane starting QB not throwing in warmups) UTSA -4 @ MTSU Air Force -14 vs Navy U43.5 Illinois @ Wisconsin O59 Iowa State @ Kansas Baylor -2.5 vs Oklahoma State O65 Georgia Southern @ Clemson O40 NC State @ Clemson Pitt -22 vs Georgia Tech
  3. It truly has been death by a thousand papercuts this year. Our defense ranks 22nd in county in allowing only 4.77 yards per play. In terms of limiting big plays, opponents only get 7+ yards on 9.5% of plays which ranks 6th in the county. 10+ yards- 4.8% of plays which ranks 14th overall. I didn't think we'd fare terribly in these metrics but also didn't think we'd rank that highly. There has to be an adjustment. Patient teams are going to continue to slice and dice us for 5 yards at a time and control the clock as long as we are giving it to them.
  4. Like others, I was underwhelmed when the Sark hire was announced. One of the first texts I got was from a buddy who asked how it felt to hire the knock-off version of Lane Kiffin? My response: On this site, relatively speaking, I fall under the sunshine pumper category as I've grown to really like Sark and believe he can be very good here if given the time. That said, I've definitely wondered at times what things would look like had we hired Kiffin instead.
  5. You guys seem like you need a pick me up. PFF player grades so far amongst FBS qualifiers: Cole Hutson, G- 282nd (of 309) Hayden Conner, G- 303rd (of 309) Jake Majors, C- 83rd (of 145) Christian Jones, T- 134th (of 303) Kelvin Banks, T- 142nd (of 303) Unit Grades (of 131 FBS teams): Pass Blocking- 30th Run Blocking- 113th
  6. Fuck your facts dude. Sark would go 4-4 in conference with VY and crew. Prove I'm wrong.
  7. For a message board that thinks a change.org petition can land a recruit, you'd think we'd not be so quick to go all apocalyptic every time something doesn't go our way. Sometimes I think our fanbase gets what it deserves.
  8. PFF has him at 14 catches on 28 targets and only 1 drop. The drop number feels way low- guess they don't count it as a drop when it's a non-routine play which he's dropped several of that I think he'd tell you he should've caught. They show him only catching 1 of 5 contested targets as well. For record- Whittington has 18 catches on 24 targets. Think the biggest difference is Worthy has an average depth of target at 21.3 yards whereas JWhit's is 8.4.
  9. Curious if anybody here has any experience with Ketamine for treating whatever ails you? It's a longer story but I've struggled with depression/anxiety for as long as I can remember and in the last two years my mental health / outlook has really deteriorated. Have tried meds, therapy, group therapy, a week long resort rehab/workshop, 12 step program, and most other things. After all that, I'm still in a pretty bad place right now. I don't know what else to do at this point so guess I'm going to throw a hail mary and see if any of the hype around Ketamine is for real.
  10. At 32-33-1 on year. 4 of those losses are sucker parlays so doing aight on my actual picking but time to pick it up. Things I'm looking at: BYU -24 vs. Utah State - might wait for 1H to come out on my book for this one with BYU playing ND next week Pitt -24 vs. GT Oregon State +10.5 @ Utah USC -26 vs ASU Air Force -15 vs Navy U53.5 Purdue @ Minnesota Western Kentucky -5.5 vs Troy O42.5 NC State @ Clemson
  11. Just busting balls. I'm not taking the other side of that strategy.
  12. Texas 41 WVU 31 RB Total Yards: 275 Yards I've talked about him elsewhere but gotta go with my ~25 year old cousin Jeff. Quit high school in April of his Senior year because he "didn't see the point". Married a girl (incorrectly) named after a winter month. Think they've separated and gotten back together probably 4 times. They spent their honeymoon at the water park in Oklahoma City... sharing a hotel room with her mom, her sister, and her sister's two kids. He's had about 15 shitty jobs in the last 5 months, each one ending because he got screwed somehow. I don't know where I'm going with this other than yeah, he's pretty interesting to hear about. Avoid actually seeing him at all costs though.
  13. FWIW, season grades/rankings for each unit: Team Overall: 90.7 | 30th Offense Overall: 73.6 | 57th Passing: 68.3 | 68th Pass Blocking: 73.8 | 30th Run Blocking: 51.3 | 113th Receiving: 72.5 | 33rd Running: 88.4 | 10th Defense Overall: 88.5 | 16th Run Defense: 90.7 | 8th Tackling: 66.8 | 56th Pass Rush: 83.3 | 6th Coverage: 77.1 | 52nd Per game unit grade: And individual player grades vs Tech:
  14. Thinking a ra ra speech from a fan is going to flip a switch is hilarious. I'm also not saying that one from one of our A-listers is any better. Nobody from the outside is lighting a fire under their ass in any meaningful way.
  15. Yes. Please send ztejas to give the pregame speech. I’m sure you’ll be able to see the moment of clarity on their faces when it finally clicks.
  16. You mom sure doesn’t have a hard time getting around
  17. “I personally am struggling to stomach this loss today. This shit rips me apart. It tests me spiritually. I hate it to the core of my being.” - Ztejas in his tantrum thread 30 minutes ago. Lol. Okay, yeah I’m the one taking it too serious.
  18. you sure didn’t seem to believe it when you started your tantrum thread. Jfc, call it a night dude.
  19. JFC what a bunch of dramatic fucking pussies in here. Shit loss. Let’s fire our couch, nuke our class, have a bunch of players transfer out and hire… oh we don’t know. Shut the fuck up you fucking pussies.
  20. Those times are hand timed / he wasn’t carrying a ball so answer defaults to whichever guy posters can remember looking fast on tv.
  21. Pretty cool move by Surly / @immamac. Are lap dances considered within reason?
  22. Nice to get off to a little 2-0 start last night. Card is locked in: Coastal -2.5 @ G State WIN U49.5 WVU @ VT WIN Syracuse -10 vs Virginia Air Force -24 vs Nevada Boise State - 16 @ UTEP Parlay- 5 picks above. $5 to pay $105 Baylor +2.5 @ ISU Kansas -7 vs Duke Memphis -12.5 vs UNT Ole Miss -12.5 1H vs Tulsa Oregon -6.5 @ Wash St Arkansas +2 vs A&M OU -12.5 vs K State UNLV -3 @ Utah State USC -5.5 @ Oregon State Utah -15.5 @ Arizona State 10 Team Favorite ML Parlay -108 (PUR, OSU, KEN, HOU, UCLA, PSU, MSST, AF, BOISE, MICH)
