    Yormark is still a little bitch:

     

    Reads bulletin boards instead of rule books.  It was a classic perfect face to face form tackle, the way you are supposed to do it.

    Although I don't think anybody really knows what targeting is.  Losing team always whines about imaginary targeting calls.

    He's an ass to his teammates during games, I don't see that as a good sign.  Without Skattebo I think he be just end up a decent, slightly above average QB.

    Yeah.  I couldn't believe on the first drive he was calling out his receiver from across the field.

    I have heard mention of the ASU defense giving "disconcerting signals."

    Did this actually happen? It was weird that we got called for as many false starts as we did, but we are often sloppy.

    We had 4 false starts in the last two minutes and OT-by 4 different players.  They also had one in that same time frame.  It was bizarre.  It wasn't that loud in there.  Couldn't have been more than 45-50 in the stadium.

    asu humbled a top 5 defense that second half. hopefully it was a good wake up call before the tOSU game for them 

    What game were you watching?  They absolutely could not score without fake punts, halfback passes or stupid penalties by us.

    Our defense was on the field most of the game and kept shutting them down.  One of the best RBs in the country and they got stuffed on 4th and shorts.

    He wasn't lost on that play. He had good coverage.  The throw was bad and the receiver had to both slowdown and run back towards the middle of the field.  Because he was in front of the receiver, he couldn't get back to the ball without running in to him.  Skattebo just chunked that shit as far as he could and it happened to be off enough that it caused a covered receiver to become open.  It was blind ass luck.

    And then he lost his balance.  It was good coverage.

    This. All of this. Fuck them and their douchebag coach and RB. All their dorky fans throwing up that 3 finger sign I had to see all day in crowd shots. Winning was fun but seeing it ripped from their hearts after their miraculous comeback and one 4th and 13 from going to the semis. 3 plays later, they are now down 8. Then throw a pick and lose. Their RB crying at the end. Later bitch. The better team won.
     

    Well they would do their own symbol which is a Hook'em but with a middle finger and then they would do a Horns down.  This is someone we almost never have played and have never been in the same conference with.

    I will give them this.  We outnumbered them from 60/40, but the ones there were loud.

    Ohio State fans online stated their opponents had 0 holding calls all year against them prior to last night. So it seems like this is a systemic b10 issue.

    Others said they had 1.

    I think it was our SEC CCG crew calling the Oregon Ohio St. game.  Oregon linemen were flagrantly holding 2 or 3 Ohio St. players every down.  Of course it was 34-0 by that point, so maybe they just didn't want to slow the game down with penalties.

    Seeing all the Big 12 shitheels whining on Twitter about a non-call for targeting is delicious. They've put all their hopes on Arizona State to pull the upset since they themselves couldn't last year. Keep waiting, dickweeds. 

    People all over.  it was a perfect face to face form tackle.  None of them talk about the ASU defender deliberately elbowing our receiver in the helmet on the interception.

    In all fairness, our TOP in the beginning was fucked due to a very quick offensive score followed by a punt return for 6.

    We only had 5 plays in the 1st quarter and I think only 4 in the first 10 minutes of the 3rd.

    They whipped our ass in all facets except the scoreboard. 

    What a stupid Surly take.

    We were in control.  They couldn't score except on trick plays or when we did stupid penalties.

    When Sark finally called plays Ewers could make, we scored.  If Ewers could hit the long pass instead of repeatedly underthrowing, we would have scored 50 in regulation.  But he couldn't, so we had a lot of 3 and outs.

    Defense was awesome except for the stupid PIs

    Scaterboo is the real deal, but we held him in check.  And yes, we stopped him frequently on 3rd and 4th down.

    Honorable mention...  Oct. 8, 1977 Red River Rivalry.

    Unlikely Hero: Randy McEachern

     He was an unlikely hero for the University of Texas and it all began Oct. 8, 1977 in the Red River Rivalry.

    ———

    When Texas backup quarterback John Aune tore ligaments in his knee on UT’s fourth series of the Red River Shootout, as it was called at the time, the TV announcers scrambled to figure out who would be next to lead the Longhorns.

    Starter Mark McBath broke his ankle on the third series and Aune lasted just nine plays before he went down. The trio in the booth had no quarterbacks left on their rosters.

    The play-by-play man quickly threw the question to sports director Steve Ross of KVUE, channel 24 in Austin. “Steve, who would that bring in? We don’t even have him on the depth chart.”

    Ross speculated about a pair of freshmen, but he really had no idea. Everyone was surprised when No. 6 trotted onto the field.

    Redshirt junior Randy McEachern entered the game in a situation that was becoming more desperate by the minute, and it was still only the first quarter. He had been an afterthought for two seasons and had only handed the ball off during mop-up time of three games in 1977.

    The announcers knew so little about him that Ross actually called him a freshman on the broadcast before finding the correct information.

    The story goes that it was Earl Campbell who broke away from the huddle to give McEachern a vote of confidence as he ran onto the field in Dallas. Campbell did take a step or two away from the team and clapped twice, but it was offensive lineman George James who jogged out to meet McEachern.

    Campbell did give the wide-eyed quarterback a pep talk when he reached the huddle, in his own way.

    “He said, ‘Let’s go, little man,” McEachern recalled for Texassports.com in 2007.

    Though they stood the same height, 5-foot-11, Campbell outweighed McEatchern by 60 pounds. But size didn’t matter. They would become a good pair.

    Both teams were unbeaten that year and riding high coming into the showdown. No. 2 Oklahoma had survived a massive game in Columbus two weeks earlier when Barry Switzer’s Sooners upset Woody Hayes’ Buckeyes 29-28 on a last-second field goal.

    OU had been No. 5 at the time and OSU had been No. 4. The Sooners moved up to No. 3 after the win and then took over No. 1 after beating Kansas the next week.

    Texas had crushed Boston College, Virginia and Rice to open the season and had climbed steadily in the ranks until it reached No. 5 at the time of the rivalry matchup.

    Darrell Royal was not at the helm of the Longhorns for the first time in 20 years. He retired as the coach and became the full-time athletic director after the 1976 season.

    Royal’s offensive coordinator Fred Akers ascended to head coach and was about to get his first real test as chief decision maker. 

    Texas won 13-6, and solidified Earl Campbell as the front runner for the Heisman Trophy.

    Bringing Mack back into the program only seems like a good idea to me IF he becomes a money man. He's already made it clear that he doesn't like the players getting paid situation and why he wanted to get out of coaching. What is the benefit to the program if he's not going to help tackle the biggest issue facing the sport? I don't see it.

    He's the type of coach the G5 schools need.  Someone who can shake hands, raise money and delegate to coordinators for most of the day to day.

    16 teams is too goddamn many, what you're proposing is having 2 teams guaranteed playing an extra half a seasons worth of games. There aren't 16 good teams a year. Fucking 12 is too many did anyone really need to see SMU Indiana Tennessee and Clemson get trounced? 8 teams no byes neutral sites thats it.

    12 is fine.  But if you go to 14 or 16 you will get lots more 3 loss and occasionally a 4 loss team.

    I think a bye is a good reward for conference champs and would be fine with reseeding them after the first round, which should be more accurately called the play-in round.

    You don't even need to re-seed.

    1. Oregon plays 12. Arizona St.

    2. Georgia plays 9. Boise St.

    3. Texas/Clemson plays 6. Ohio St./Tennessee

    4. Penn St./SMU plays 5. ND/Indiana

    There will be “in-depth discussions” about not guaranteeing conference champs the top 4

    seeds in 2025, sources said. Top 5 conference champs still would get in playoff but rankings would determine seeds, sources said. This would require unanimous approval by all stake holders to change in 2025 but conference commissioners “open to getting (the seeding) right,” source said

    There are two separate issues:

    1) who gets the byes; and 

    2) what seeds do they get.

    Great post. I hate the mega conferences. I was actually wanting smaller conferences, but that doesn’t matter now.

    One hope is that the Big 10 and SEC decide they are 1) too big; and 2) make more money together.  They add 8 schools and split into 3 14 team conferences.

    Twelve is ideal, but fourteen is still manageable.  16 and 18 are just too big.

    What difference does it make? Allowing live mascots presents an extra logistical issue for gameday operations to deal with. Just disallow them all. Obviously home mascots have a location and are part of standard operations at every school. So home teams have their mascots, makes perfect sense. 

    Unless for some reason now we think it's a big deal for a team not to be able to bring their live mascot. 

    The stands are really close to the field at Mercedes Benz.  There really isn't much room.

    I apologize for the video. I couldn't find a full game copy anywhere so had to rip a few plays.

     

    @Dahobbswas explaining a little bit of this to a fellow poster. ZSo thanks to him for getting the ball rolling. Let's get this out of the way right now. For those of you that didn't think Dabo was a good coach we just all fucked around and found out on Sat-ur-dee. Ole ball coach played us like a fiddle. They had a lovely opening script capped off with a double pick that we actually helped with but we will get to that in a minute. They got on the board first and then Sark and PK proceeded to drag their balls on Clemson's facemask by going on a 31-3 run. The offense did it's thing but PK's defense settled in and stymied the Clemson offense. However Dabo, as championship coaches do, found something. He sped up their offense when he got the right defensive personnel on the other side. Two things that did. We lost our pass rush because the guys caught in the game aren't the type that gets pressure. Second, when a defense is sped up they scrap the exotics and stick to simplistic defensive schemes like man v man or basic zone schemes. So by doing that they could slow our pass rush and manipulate our secondary. To do that your coaches have to be pretty savvy and have a QB with full command of the passing offense. So we shouldn't see that too often so we can all relax. If we do then PK is a dumb ass for falling for the same trick twice.

    So let's get into it shall we?

    I mean what the hell were the refs looking at here. First thing first I am wondering if this was a mistake by our secondary here to start. I know we are in man but instead of letting the routes tell us which man we are taking Barron and Guilbeau cross streams and allow the TE/Barron route to pick Guilbeau. The TE is literally blocking Barron well past the five yard mark for a pass that is being thrown past the line of scrimmage. Guilbeau is already out of position only to be physically blocked a second time, again for a pass thrown past the line. To miss an illegal pick once is bad but two times on the same play? Come on refs.

     

     

     

    Two pretty flagrant blocks downfield.  Probably neither made a difference, but those weren't even subtle.

    I'm willing to admit it's reasonable to point out Texas had a light schedule.

    What I've never understood is why Tennessee got a pass on having an essentially identical conference schedule - 7/8 common opponents against which they put together an inferior body of work to Texas, and a 7 point home win against a bipolar Bama team in their big rivalry vs Texas winning by 10 on the road at aggy in a game that had been circled for years. Both teams dog walked inferior power conference opponents out of conference and lost to Georgia by multiple scores in offensive meltdowns.

    They straight up coasted reputationally on that Bama win when in reality they were the overrated team people have accused Texas of being.

    We didn't get the strongest teams in the conference, but our schedule was plenty good.  Here is the Massey composite opponent's ranking of teams in the CFP (note Tennessee-their ooc was awful)

    Georgia                     46.7
    Texas                     50.9
    Ohio St.                     55.3
    Penn St.                     55.6
    Oregon                     57.0
    Clemson                     60.8
    Arizona St.                     61.3
    Notre Dame                     61.5
    SMU                     61.8
    Tennessee                     67.0
    Indiana                     75.2
    Boise St.                     82.9
  20. Watching the Memphis-WVU game.  Memphis player intercepts with WVU in Memphis territory down 5 in the final 15 seconds, but the ball gets knocked out as he starts his slide.  Replay rules that he was down so there was no fumble since he started his slide.

    Same situation, they called a fumble on Texas.  Ewers had started his slide.

    Sark should have challenged that play.
