There's a very clear top 4 and there are arguments for all of them as #1 - although Navy/Army is kind of its own thing since that game is never actually relevant nationally.
I think Michigan and Ohio State hate each other more than Texas and OU do. And the neutral-site Cotton Bowl game is as classic as it gets - but there is something to be said for the home-and-home. You get nastier crowds and gut-punch losses when you lose at home.
It's also a dynamic ranking. Texas/OU was 100% the best rivalry during the 2000s. I think Michigan/tOSU has been the best rivalry in the 2020s. And Bama/Barn is always crazy (and was probably the best game in the 2010s).
What I wouldn't stand for is anyone trying to vault some bullshit like Domer/SC or Georgia/Florida above any of those four games.
Don't call his take retarded just because you disagree. That's fucking lame. Especially when you lead it with "no disrespect" and then proceed to say something disrespectful.
He was 27/46 and threw 2 picks and put up -27 rushing yards. And Texas lost. What a legendary game from Quinn. 🙄
Yeah it's pretty clearly not close - and Quinn had a really nice couple of years to end his career here. The guys around Quinn made him look good. Arch makes the guys around him look good.
I don't think Arch lost a fumble all season. He's a tough motherfucker and getting better at making chicken salad out of chicken something else.
That's actually a very endearing post. Can't imagine being a fan of that team. It's like Sideshow Bob stepping on one rake after another and smacking himself in the face.
I know you're joking but no - there were a couple beat OU lose to aggy seasons. '99 and '06 off the top of my head.
I think '07 and '10 were the only lose-to-both seasons.
We also beat OU in '13 when we didn't play aggy.
If this is a down year it's not a bad one. We aren't far removed from our bad years being 7 loss clusterfucks.
That said - this season should be the minimum moving forward. Sark has work to do in the offseason and I hope he makes a couple uncomfortable decisions with his staff.
Going into last night I may have leaned towards him leaving for an NFL gig. After last night I think he sticks around at least another season to run it back with Archibald. It seemed like that was a cathartic win for him.
I would also say that winning the conference just isn't as important as it used to be. It's a nice trophy and banner to hang but getting a high seed in the CFP is the goal and you don't need to win the conference to do that.
Of course. Just saying they may slip in the standings a bit until they get some starters back. Nice to catch that game with them undermanned while Wemby is out.
