He needed John Goodman’s character from “Flight”, who got Denzel ready for court after Denzel wrecked the mini-bar.
Great scene. Great movie, even though it was absurdly unrealistic.

My worry is the lengthy time off for Tech.
It was good for getting healed up, but UO playing more recently gives them an advantage. You see it at times after a bye week, but this is almost a bye month for Tech.
If my Tech-grad math is correct, it will be 26 days of not playing a game for Tech between the Big12 championship game and the Orange Bowl, vs just 12 days for the Ducks.
I fear Tech coming out cold, stale, and slow comparatively to Oregon due to the lengthy layoff.
But I will be there to watch it. So I have that going for me, which is nice.

How many threads to they have about the bullshit roughing the passer that gave them 15 yards or the worst missed holding call of the year on the same drive?
Absolutely zero.

Typical aggy is blaming the officials.

Inject it straight into my veins.

Somebody here is very stupid and can't read. I cover your point. I've made mine. Lick your wounds and move on.
No motherfucker, you can fuck right off...especially with this comment:
"Your uncle should have sat you on his knee to explain that needlessly offending people is a bad thing perpetrated by dickheads."
We didn't have time to offend people. We we were working our asses off in the field sunup to sundown. Sorry if your pampered life sheltered you from what real, hard-working farming people have to do to survive so you can sit back and accuse us all of being racists.
Seriously, you have no fucking clue.

I wonder if the Blacks working the cotton fields were working their family's farm by choice with expectation the work would end. Did your uncle have the option of raping or beating or killing you or whatever whim swept him up at the moment?
Did your cornball, sanctimoniously calloused hands look like this?
Fuck you for making the comparison and for being obtuse enough to think that cotton's connection to racism is the absurd notion that white people never physically picked cotton.
I doubt that the throwing of cotton at a football game is particularly offensive to Black persons, but that's not for me to determine. If it is, I wouldn't do it. If I suspected it was, I wouldn't do it.
Your uncle should have sat you on his knee to explain that needlessly offending people is a bad thing perpetrated by dickheads.
I look forward to your future findings about the many silly notions of racism.
Get out of here with your sanctimonious bullshit and missing my point entirely.
The point is...cotton should not be automatically associated with racism, and it's absurd that that's what it has become. Guess what...just as many tobacco plantations had slave labor, but why don't we automatically associate tobacco with racism?
It's not my fault you are too stupid to understand the point I was making.

I went to the SMU-Miami game this year. UM had a sizeable crowd.
And to a person, they reminded me of NFL goon fans.
A few rows in front of me was this guy. Yes, you are seeing that correctly...he's wearing UM wide receiver gloves. He was, without a doubt, one of the most absurd fans I think I've ever encountered. 50 something years old and he was acting like a dumbass teenager the whole game. Total douche, gloves and all. And yet, I hope he is Collie Station tomorrow, and I hope his team obliterates aggy.

I met the real Rudy around 1995 or 1996. He was very outgoing, warm, and genuine to me...and I was just a 22/23 year-old nobody.

Well unless you're like 175 years old, of course there's no racial privilege NOW about working in a cotton field
But it has historical racial connections
A lot of things have historical racial connections, but in the past 10 years or so just the word cotton has become absolutely taboo, which is absurd. Slaves were shipped by trains and barges back in the 19th century as well...that doesn't mean we now associate trains and barges with the slave trade.
Not everyone who grew cotton in the 19th century was a rich plantation owner with slaves in the deep South. A lot of Texas family cotton farms (mine included) were worked solely by the family. That's why my great great grandparents had like 11 children...they needed that labor supply.

Hmm, as a white boy who worked every summer on my uncle's cotton farms chopping (hoeing) cotton, cultivating, spraying johnson grass, prepping the stripper, etc., I always laugh when people want to talk about racial overtones connected to cotton.
There was no racial privilege when it came to working the cotton fields I had to work. People who have turned cotton farming into a race thing are just morons, in my humble, calloused hands opinion.

The new tiebreaker will probably be CFP ranking so that Miami would have played Virginia in the CCG this year instead of Duke. If all the conferences did that the SEC CG would have been UGA v. Ole Miss and Alabama might have been left out of the field (though I doubt it). The other two would have been the same.
Back in the original Big XII days, the BCS ranking was one of the tiebreakers if there was a 3-way tie in a division. I believe that's how OU got to go to the CCG in 2008 when you had the 3-way tie between OU, UT, and Tech. Someone feel free to check my work on that, but I'm pretty certain that was the tiebreaker.

Ross Dellenger: 'It's been a nightmare' — College Football Playoff coaches juggling multiple jobs amid wonky calendar
This is why more and more colleges are going to the General Manager model.
At Tech, Joey and his coaches can concentrate on game prep while James Blanchard and his team handle all the recruiting, transfer portal, NIL, etc. business. In addition, Joey has Antonio Huffman and his team to handle all the administrative chores that aren't part of recruiting, transfer portal, NIL, etc.
Take a look at just the support staff, and look at their job titles:

I will say this... I always pulled for Tceh when they played aggy, not to mention the ass kicking y'all administered to Aaron Rodgers in the Holiday Bowl. We will forever owe you for that.
The day the BCS pairings were released, Cal quarterback Aaron Rodgers said Brown "was a little classless" for begging for poll votes to help his Longhorns, and that the system was "faulty."
The Longhorns, by the way, beat Texas Tech 51-21 at Lubbock on Oct. 23.
Texas Tech fans mocked Cal with chants of "Overrated!" in the closing minutes.
Somewhere I have a picture of two Longhorns at the Holiday bowl a few rows in front of me with one hand doing Hook 'em and the other hand doing Guns Up. That was a fun night. Then the next day while we were visiting the San Diego Zoo, every Longhorn fan who was there came up to thank me (I was wearing Tech hat and shirt) for the previous night's drubbing of Cal.
I don't think there has ever been a time, before or since, where UT and Tech fans had such solidarity.

If aggy had any say at all, Texas Tech wouldn't even exist as a university. Texas fans can get all haughty about shit, but they've never been "genocidal" when it comes to West Texans getting edumacated.
This is why I've always hated aTm and just got perturbed with UT.

Fair enough. I just remember the entire Tech basketball arena chanting Fuck UT the last time we played there and banging on our team buses.
You were playing us. With our former coach.
Not the same thing.

It’s not a conspiracy theory. We very much are trying to position ourselves to have a seat at the table when the next round of realignment occurs.
My only correction to your post is it’s not necessarily for an SEC invite. It’s for an invite to whatever the next league looks like. We are all working very hard to get into AAU so that the B1G could also be an option.
