  1. He was 7-11 for 170 yards in the first quarter, which was presumably scripted for the most part. Over the next 3 quarters plus OT he went 12 for 26 for 78 yards.
  2. Well it sounds like JW doesn’t want the $200 bad enough to dox himself to ztejas. A compromise might be a $200 donation to the Texas One fund. Or I’d happily take a $200 donation to my Movember campaign to fund research to fight men’s cancer.
  3. Illegal shift is always a live ball penalty. Even in the SEC.
  4. Well, totally different plays. In the most simplistic terms, they were both tosses to Baxter, but that’s about where they end. The TD was on 4th and 1 and came from under center with a formation that suggested a sneak/shove. That play subverted the formation and surprised the D. The situation for the failed 3rd down call was totally different, and the play design didn’t seem to take advantage of the obvious pressure KSU was going to be bringing given the criticality of the outcome.
  5. The toss to Baxter on 3rd and 3 felt doomed from the start. I’d love to see a frame by frame breakdown of that one to see if it ever had a chance. I don’t know shit about fuck but I was yelling for a ZR look where MM kept it. KSU had stopped respecting that look and it felt like something that might catch them way off guard.
  6. I’m on the totally opposite end of the spectrum. I think it’s a really interesting idea and I’m glad to see them trying something to make the regular season a little more relevant. 82 games is a slog and we’ve seen so many teams and players coast for long portions of it. It may not end up working but just the act of trying it signals a form of progress.
  7. You guys keep at it, please. I'm sure if you trade another 20 replies on this topic (which is, at best, adjacent to the thread topic) one of you will for sure admit that the other is right.
  8. I was just there over the weekend. Renting a car is definitely the way to go. Ubering just wouldn't be practical. You'd wait forever to get one and then it would cost a pretty penny to move around.
  9. Probably because he wasn’t “wide open”. Tech was in a zone and there was a guy in the area with eyes on Quinn. There was a small window had Quinn thrown high enough, but it was far from a gimme. It was also three plays after his injury and I’m guessing that played into his decision to throw it away and save the FG chance.
  10. I went back to look but YTTV won’t let me screenshot. There wasn’t anyone crashing. At worst Brooks would have had a 1v1 and needed to pick up a yard or so. Regardless, trying to draw meaningful insights of any kind from a single play is a waste of everyone’s time. Seems like we’re about to get a bunch of data on MM. I have no idea what to expect, but I’m for sure hoping the data is positive.
  11. There is literally no way to know that without seeing the all 22 and breaking down each drop back. Quinn was fucking dealing and took shots when they were there and checked it down when they weren’t. Or that’s what it looked like based on what we saw. Btw, Murphy had an easier throw to Brooks in the flat that would have almost certainly gotten the first down, which was the main objective on that play. I don’t care how fast you read if you can’t move the sticks.
  12. Drunk posting after a game again?
  13. My comment was about holding. That crew called holding one time on each team. The Big 12 just doesn’t call them. That’s been true now for more than 5 years. People need to move on and accept how they call the games. But hey, you used a term I’ve never heard of before and now I know how to use waterhead in a derogatory manner. So that’s pretty neat.
  14. That’s exactly why I’m not sure what we have in MM yet. What we know he can do is throw a football. Super far and/or super fast. I have seen nothing that tells me how good of a QB he’s going to be.
  15. Nothing about what I’ve seen from MM provides me confidence as a fan. It’s clear that he’s confident in himself, and that he has an absolute howitzer for an arm. Beyond that, what’s on the film is incomplete at best. The one pass he missed today is one Quinn makes in his sleep. Murphy threw a 4 seamer and I think it would have been a tough catch even if it were on target. Obviously it definitely wasn’t. I’m not writing him off, but I am completely puzzled by the coalition of fans that are convinced he’s ready to fuck shit up.
  16. I think that’d put him on the shelf for the rest of the year. Or damn close to it. I really hope that’s not what we’re looking at, but the way he was walking after coming out wasn’t great.
  17. Looked like the hit was to some combination of his ribs and his non throwing shoulder. He played the rest of the series so it must have been something he thought would go away and obviously didn’t. Hopefully it’s just a contusion, as anything worse in either of those areas would likely be the sort of thing that would cause him to miss some time.
  18. The grousing over the lack of holds called stopped being discussion worthy a couple of years ago. We don’t get rung up on a bunch of holding calls either. This is just how the Big 12 calls it.
  19. I stand corrected. The refs just fucked Houston out of a first down that had a big impact on the outcome.
  20. Refs have nothing to do with this one. We’ve actually been fortunate with some of their calls/decisions.
  21. 1st one accepted. They were called for holds in the first quarter that we declined because of sacks, tfls, etc
  22. His timing really couldn’t have been better. If he were born 15 years earlier he’d have struggled to find a spot where he could have any chance of surviving a season, much less thriving. But for today’s game? He’s basically the player every kid creates when they find that option in NBA2K. He just shouldn’t be able to do all those things at that size.
  23. What all that says to me is that we’ve had a lot of suspect evals and/or takes. It also adds strength to the argument that taking portal players that have already put down film at the D1 level isn’t a bad option in the slightest.
  24. This one is even better.
  25. https://www.breakingbourbon.com/review/little-book-chapter-7-in-retrospect Picked this up the other day and I can definitely confirm that there is a lot to unpack in this release. It’s a whiskey you really have to pay attention to as you’re drinking it, but there is a lot to like in there.
