    I don't disagree with that part at all.  I'd say VY, Studdard, Thomas and possibly Sendlein all meet that description.  The OL as a whole was excellent in 2005 and other than VY was the strength of the offense.  Receivers and backs benefited from that excellence.

    You don't set the FBS scoring record with average skill position players. You just don't.

    End of argument. Go pour a drink.

    That's fine.  I will simply say that what happened in the NFL is the best way to filter the effect of them being wide open because their QB was such a running threat from how talented they actually were as WRs.

    Ramonce was a headcase, Sweed suffered injury issues as well as personal issues that kept him from ever being a relevant NFL receiver, and Pittman wasn't fast enough to be an NFL threat. 

     

    What the fuck any of that has to do with their play in college is beyond me. You are so far off the map right now I'm questioning if you even watched the 05 Horns. In person I watched that team score 56 points in a HALF of football. That tells me that MULTIPLE players must have been pretty damn good on that offense.

    I'm attempting to illustrate a point using an individual case.  Having the highest rating doesn't make you the best passer.  VY vs Drew Brees is a perfect illustration of that point.  I'd think it was obvious and it's bothersome to have to explain something that should be self-evident.

    I didn't say he was the best passer you fucking clown. I'm arguing against your take of "above average". He was cut and dry a great if not elite passer in college and was able to find (albeit limited) success in the NFL throwing the rock. 

    Go find a brick wall to talk to if you want to keep moving the goalposts to cover for the stupid bullshit you spouted earlier.

    You brought #1 QB rating into the discussion.  It's VERY easy to get to Drew Brees from there.  It's not 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon.

    Passing rating, actually. No one is comparing him to Drew Brees. Stay on topic champ.

    VY could make opposing secondaries cover downfield for 6-8 seconds while being forced to keep one eye on the backfield..  That doesn't make him a better passer than Drew Brees.  To see what happened when he had to function as a pure passer, look at the results when his idiot coach forced him to sit in the pocket.

    The idiot is you my friend. 

    No one mentioned Drew Brees.

    Our merely above average passer had the highest passing efficiency rating in the entire nation at the end of the regular season.

    He led the fucking NFL in passer rating for a season...

    And this run defense has not faced super tough teams through the first half of the season.

    It’s somewhat surprising no one is calling that out, but it’s  not cool to be critical of Bama in the mediasphere .

    Yeah someone needs to call them out for kicking the shit out of every team on their schedule. Something just isn't adding up.

    From what I've seen thus far on Saturday's game weather forecasts, the rain is expected to be lighter and may not even start till late in the game or even after the game is over.  🤘

    OK I'll restate what I said in fewer words. The old system had a problem. It didn't generate a true champion. The four team playoff solves the problem. Though you insist otherwise, I did not call for returning to the system from 50 years ago. In fact, I explicitly rejected it.

    Either way saying bowl games are fucking "exhibitions" is comical.

  10. Guys keep in mind power rankings are a thing that the CFP has expressed and if we have 1 loss at the end of the year it will be our 12th straight win...

    No way 1 loss anyone save maybe Bama/Georgia/OSU gets in over Texas.

    I am comparing attendance between the two programs, as is, Kansas benefits from being a member of the XII, a P5 league; while Rice is close in attendance of the highest revenue sport of football, while only a G5 member... Thus the opportunity exist for Rice to excel, while adding to the league footprint, just because we may disagree, doesn't make the selection of Rice, in place of Baylor incorrect or faulty... Just the same, if Kansas had been relegated to the G5 back in 2010, the revenues would be much closer to Rice, but still significantly higher, as if I recall, Rice reported earnings of around $13 million about a year ago that I saw...

    The success of Kansas basketball is what makes them a nationally recognized athletic program and university. That success is independent of association. Kansas in the Sun Belt would still be a perennial national title contender.

    Rice sucks dick at football. They aren't going to suck less after joining a different conference. Just look at, oh I don't know, Kansas?

    You know you're digging when the compliments are coming from a male UK cheerleader. On twitter.

    Who gives a fuck.

    What dumbass point are you trying to make? 26k vs 19k per game is a significant difference, first of all. Especially when you consider how bad KU has been the past few years. Second of all, KU is 36th in the country in terms of athletic revenue. Obviously Rice's numbers are not public information but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it is nowhere close to $100MM. 

    Kansas is a national brand. Rice is not.
