  1. Very predictable 1st and goal series for the Texans. They’d be better off with 3 Chubb runs up the gut. Has Christian Harris passed on? I can’t even find an injury report on him.
  2. I assume you watched the games. LSU and Tennessee suck. They’re not elite anywhere. I never thought we’d get any help from them. Auburn has an elite defense, and was playing better on offense/have some weapons. The Iron Bowl is the one we needed.
  3. edit* USC beat Michigan. It can and should be USC if they send us to Orlando.
  4. If we must go bowling in Orlando, I’d very much prefer we play USC. Probably unlikely because Michigan has the tiebreaker.
  5. I think I’d still like Ole Miss in that game. Weis is no stiff, and Golden has always had complete control of the defense. There’s also reports that Lane is fighting to coach Ole Miss in the playoffs. Regardless, they’d have a warm up/get right game against Tulane before Tech.
  6. Yeah the CFP ranking as the second tiebreaker is being floated around as an ACC solution.
  7. If Duke wins the ACC and makes it in there will be tweaks to the CFP. At a minimum the ACC will change their tiebreaker rules. This is not he game the league wanted.
  8. It was. They want 2 teams in.
  9. ESPN making Marty Smith camp out at Ole Miss’ headquarters for 4+ days has been pretty great. I hope there’s a green room he has access to green room because every broadcast looks like he’s in a corridor.
  10. Taxslayer Bowl bitches!!!!
  11. Another running QB coached into being a drop back pocket passer. Van Buren and now Daniels. If you’re watching on the DirectTV 4K feed you clearly see a guy holding a sign that says 3 minutes 20 seconds at the beginning of the TV timeout. 2 minute commercial breaks my ass ESPN. The commentators have repeated this lie over and over again on air.
  12. What other schools did Hocutt approach? Oregon State, NC State, and MS State definitely demonstrates a pattern. I will credit Tech for trying to make it look good. Indiana said fuck it, dared people to come after them for it, and then went on some finger pointing rant about Ole Miss.
  13. Odd statements from a fanbase that required a complete tear down to get rid of a massive bat colony, and the rebuild still has a staircase to nowhere and looks like a massive Kroger Signature.
  14. I don’t doubt it, but taking a picture of a boom mic as their smoking gun is uniquely stupid even for aggy.
  15. Why did he swipe that Mutombo style? A pick prevents a Bama field goal.
  16. I hope that happens. The committee can’t keep talking out of both sides of their mouths. If Texas shouldn’t be penalized for losing to fOSU on the road, they should evaluated against the other 2 loss teams. That didn’t happen. They were dropped 7 spots after picking up their 3rd loss.
  17. Yep. I’d call that game iffy. Both schools are looking for the easiest schedule possible. Notre Dame has a super clean exit so they’ll probably initiate. Just schedule a service academy instead. Nobody would say shit about it.
  18. I mean it’s a nice wish list, but I think 9 conference games + 1 P4 OOC could be turned around in an offseason. The ACC and SEC will play 9 conference games in 2026. Light a Fire under Tech and Indiana. Tech doesn’t play a P4 OOC game until 2028, MS State. Indiana won’t play a “P4” OOC game until 2026, Notre Dame.
  19. Tech gamed the system. Hocutt took a look at the league and CFP rules and said there’s no penalty for not scheduling a P4 team so he didn’t and they’ve rolled to 11-1. They ran into 1 team with sort of equal NFL talent in Arizona State and of course lost. They’re going to get smoked in the CFP, but they might not care. A Big 12 title and a CFP appearance is something they’ll talk about for a generation. I’m fine with 12, but everybody needs to play by the same rules. My proposal : to be CFP eligible, a team must schedule at least 1 P4 opponent and play a 9 game conference schedule.
  20. The Florida secret sauce was Wilson, Lagway, and Baugh were all healthy at the same time and it happened to fall on Texas weekend. It hasn’t happened again this season. Thems the breaks. That said, everything except a SEC title game is on the table against Georgia and they violently shit the bed. Had to win that one to get everybody to forget Florida. I think the committee is going to say well Texas had their chances, but they didn’t capitalize and we’ll end up in the 12-14 range.
  21. Yep their new gripe is that we’re piping in artificial noise. Their evidence was pictures of ABC boom mics in the crowd. I’m not Steven Spielberg, but the last time I checked book mics by their very definition are used to capture sound. These are truly some of the dumbest mouthfuckers on the planet.
  22. I’ve watched a lot of bad football today, and I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re not going to get any help.
  23. Inexplicable play call LSU.
  24. Sweet Jesus LSU. I’m not sure if even Lane can save y’all.
