    Yes.  I don't think it has any wheels right now, but it exists.  Maybe in 5 years when it affects the AFC Championship or some other big game.

    Fuck that.

    There is nothing wrong with the current rule.  A team should not be rewarded and given the ball back for fumbling it out the endzone.

    Biggest individual award at Tech since Crabtree's B2B Biletnikoff Awards.  CJM called out the D-line for making J-Rod so visible at the LB spot...  only for Cody Campbell and James Blanchard to break up the meeting and present the award to Rodriguez.

    Awesome award.  Still work to do.

    Go ROHO!  Wreck EM!!!

    That wasn't Cody Campbell and James Blanchard.  It was Dick Butkus' son and Demarcus Ware:

    I never thought the Big 12 was being judged for Tech losing to ASU. I think folks understand that can happen against a decent team. I think the Big 12 is judged based on a pretty poor out of conference record against the other major conferences and a perceived (and frankly real) talent gap. It is also judged for not having any helmet schools. Just the way it is. A conference full of historically minor programs will be treated as such until it demonstrates otherwise. 

    We were second only to the SEC in our 2025 OOC record:

    It’s all so scheme dependent that comparing common opponents is a fool’s errand. See Texas owning OU owning Alabama owning Georgia owning Texas.

    Yet, the same people who in this situation will say common opponents is a fool's errand will then turn around and say it's o.k. to lambast Tech and BYU because Tech got beat by ASU who got beat by MSU (on a last second TD due to broken coverage the 2nd week of the year).

    Somehow the entire Big 12 gets to be judged on that one loss, but anywhere else transitive properties or common opponents are not viable criteria or metrics.  

    It's like the aggies saying Tech sucks because it lost to ASU who lost to MSU, but then they do not see any correlation at all to them losing to UT who lost to a bad Florida team.  We need to get rid of using one game to determine the relative strengths or weaknesses of an entire conference.  Sometimes good teams get upset.  It happens.

    It's easy to argue Miami over ND when you ignore Miami losing at home to a shitty fucking Louisville team that lost to Cal, Clemson and Virginia at home and got fucking boatraced by SMU in Dallas.

    Boatraced?

    I was at that game. I would not describe it as being boatraced.  Miami had the lead at halftime and SMU won in OT.

    People are reinventing the PAC, WAC, SWC,  Big 8, and Big East conferences from first principles and I gotta say I’m here for it.

     

     

    The East Coast conference has a lot of suckage going on.  It wouldn't be long before people complained that they had a seat at the playoff table.

    But I am all-in on this concept.
