  1. Both of these offenses seem like they suck.
  2. Now you’ve gone too far, sir. Next you’re probably going to tell me the hundreds of hours I put into Mario Kart, Madden, and Halo weren’t the most productive use of my time.
  3. Seriously, how dare you insult the brand that makes all of SydneyCarton’s clothes!
  4. Someone clearly hasn’t paid attention to Rattler this year. He’s completing 74% of his passes at 8.9 Y/A with one of the worst OLs in all of P5. He’s playing at an extremely high level every single week. Normal Spencer Rattler is a great QB this year.
  5. Considering they are D1 FCS, I would say that’s exactly the level of competition Deion faced. Jackson State beat Florida A&M 59-3 in week 2 last year. That Florida A&M team 9-2 with it’s only other loss being 56-24 at UNC in Week 1. Something tells me that Florida A&M team was not D3 level of competition, but that’s just me. Hermanator’s clearly the expert here.
  6. Calling a Division 1 conference made up of mostly HBCUs “D3 level competition” seems rather questionable, but also the level of take I’d expect from your history as a poster.
  7. The Aggies have been incredibly unlucky this year. You just know if Weigman had been hurt for Week 2 but healthy for Weeks 6 and 7 they’d be undefeated right now.
  8. Alpine’s engine has shown to be 30 hp or more down on the rest of the field. I would bet Andretti is the one who declined. Using Alpine engines would be a horrible mistake.
  9. That entire Qatar race was such a fucking farce from the curbs causing max tire stints to the heat. Just an absolute clown show. Fuck FOM for selling out to the Middle East.
  10. Posts like these are why I consider you an autist. Ocon is my least likeable driver on the grid. Saying something negative about Stroll doesn’t mean I like Ocon more. There’s also a ton of reason to not like Stroll beyond just him being rich. He constantly causes accidents and comes off like a whiny baby.
  11. seriously, spoiled billionaire being pouty is a terrible look. There’s rumors Pap Stroll will sell to a Saudi group and have Aston focus on WEC with Lance moving over there. That would certainly be interesting. While we’re at it, there’s also rumors Audi’s not going Greta with development and their Board is reviewing whether to scrap the F1 move. It could open up another avenue for Andretti, if true.
  12. You’re calling for Ford to be benched for Blackwell?
  13. Offense gifted them two short fields. Quinn’s fumble gave them the ball at the 50, and defense forced a 3 and out to avoid a score.
  14. You’re just flat out wrong. We’ve been up by 3 scores with 8+ minutes left in the 4th in 4/6 games. That’s the definition of garbage time. We haven’t had that many coverage busts relative to other college defenses. Most of the deep balls on us have just been guys getting beat, like Watts (3x Baylor and Kansas) and Thompson (Bama game). The nature of these college schemes requires complicated zones and pattern marching coverages. Offenses know they force these defenses and then call plays to put those coverage sin conflict. Every college defense makes mistakes on these, but we’re not particularly bad at this. It’s just another instance of Texas fans paying way more attention to Texas than other teams. PK let them go 70 yards in less than 30 seconds by playing prevent/off coverages that gave up way too much space. They had 3 straight passing plays for 11, 16, and 28 plus a PI to get to our 6 in 28 seconds. That was the biggest issue.
  15. Your standards for defense might’ve been accurate in 2003, but it’s 2023. Giving up 200+ pass yards per game means nothing, especially when you’re not removing garbage time. Regarding our defense before the last drive (which we all agree was a fuck up by PK), Gabriel was 19/34 for 227 yards before the last drive. Holding a top 10 offense to 55% completion for under 7 YPA is absolutely a good performance in pass defense.
  16. This is a ridiculous overreaction. Our pass defense was good for most of the game, and by any advanced metric, we have a top 10 defense in the country (5th in FEI and 7th F+). The two biggest mistakes by PK in the game were 1)playing way too off at the end of the half and end of game (he turtles into prevent way too much at the end of halves and games) and 2) not accounting for the QB run. Fortunately, not of those are very fixable. We’ll have to see if they get fixed moving forward. I think the second one will, not so sure about the first. But this loss was much more on the offense and turnovers than the defense. Quinn threw 2 picks, fumbled, and we hit the punter on 4th and 3. You're not going to beat many top 15 teams in the country when you have 4 turnovers.
  17. Give it one more race and Piastri will be ahead of Alpine too. Just goes to show, you can never go wrong by leaving Renault/Alpine.
  18. It don't make a shit. If we take care of business (including beating bye week) then we'll be ranked where we should be and have a shot at the Rig12 CCG and possibly beyond. USC almost got beat by a very mediocre ASU and domer got beat by Loserville so they're out of it. If both us and BloU take care of our remaining schedule they won't hold a last second L to a one loss BloU (the loss we give them later) against us too badly. Congratulations. You just wrote a more TexAgs post than most of the screenshots in this thread, complete with moronic nicknames, like Rig 12 and Loserville.
  19. Checo is generally fast in the race, so it definitely leaks a lot more toward #2 than #1.
  20. A self-absorbed lawyer who can’t put a period at the right spot at the end of the sentence saying he never makes mistakes is pretty great.
