Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
Burt Macklin replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
They didn’t have much returning at OT, so they overpaid for the Rice guy out of desperation. The fact he’s a JAG and worse than they thought isnt a positive for them now. -
OU Football 2025 - Cheated Its Way To a Backdoor CFP Appearance
Burt Macklin replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Interesting note on OU’s prospects based on Vegas over/under. A lot of sites had them set at 6.5 earlier in the summer. That got bet a good bit and now a lot of sites have moved the line to 7.5 but it’s juiced pretty heavily to the under, around -140 or -150. In other words, the betting public pretty clearly has them tabbed to go 7-5. One hilarious aspect to this is there’s a decent chance OU starts 5-0, meaning they could easily end the season 2-5 and finishing towards the bottom of the SEC. I would love nothing more than to have OU be 5-0 and ranked in the top 10 before they face us in the Cotton Bowl. -

The fact that Looch is pointing to Scoob and York as two of the four difference makers on A&M’s defense should make the Aggie faithful feel quite grim. They won’t, but they should. -
I'm still irate about that abortion of a race put forth by Ferrari that robbed Charles of a win, or at least a podium but the reasoning behind it is pretty interesting. As early as Lap 8, Ferrari made Charles change his engine mapping to the most conservative setting that started clipping on the straight at about 280. This is a very significant loss of time. So they were seeing concerning signs of plank wear from the get go. They continued to have Charles on conservative engine modes and some lift and coast through the second stint. Amazingly, Charles was able to keep first place despite this, which is a testament to the pace of the Ferrari at that ride height and the difficulty of following in Hungary. Finally in the third stint they massively increased his tire pressures so the plank would ride higher and stop wearing. This in addition to still having the most conservative engine mode lost him about two seconds per lap throughout the final stint. I guess Ferrari was better off doing all this shit rather than Charles winning and getting DQ'd, but I honestly might have preferred seeing a dominant win even if it got stripped. Anyways, Ferrari has struggled with plank wear/ride height all year and the new suspension does seem like it has improved things but obviously isn't a magic fix. I guess Ferrari can feel vindicated in their claim that this new design is up there with McLaren if not for the plank wear issue considering Leclerc was absolutely gapping Piastri at the start and able to keep the lead despite the low engine modes, but all that and five bucks will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

She still has that nurse uniform. -
This conspiracy theory would be more believable if Hamilton hadn’t been failing at qualifying for about two years now with two different teams.
-
Leclerc must have a car issue. He’s all of a sudden 2 seconds per lap slower. Ferrari making changes to Leclerc’s car without telling him and killing his pace. I hate Ferrari so fucking much! If Leclerc ever leaves, I will hate them more than just about any team in sports.
-
Motherfucjer! You don’t pit Leclerc first at Hungary! Ferrari might have just thrown away a win for third place. I hate Ferrari so got dam much!

I remember the time @Dbeasy watched a one minute interview of him and predicted he would be a high character guy and a locker room leader. There have definitely been worse predictions on the recruiting board, but that one always gets me. -

Can you imagine how good that 2022 highest rated class of all time must have been considering all 4 services are systematically conspiring against A&M? Surely that collection of talent must have won at least 2 or 3 titles. -
Leclerc had a great late breaking move on cold tires to overtake Norris after the Kemmel Straight. Of course it was all for nothing because the clowns at Ferrari delivered a car that was about a half second per lap slower even with the new rear suspension that was supposed to magically fix all their issues, but it was executed perfectly.

These cars create so much spray. I just hope we don’t have another cancelled race behind the safety car like a couple years ago. It sucks these cars can’t actually race in the rain.

That’s great. That’s about as rural, small town Texas as it gets right there. I hope you didn’t get your disdain for brevity from your dad, or his poor congregation never would’ve beat the baptists to lunch. They might not have even made it to dinner.

That's Sugar Bowl Champion, Breckyn Hager, to you, sir. -
This is a total nothingburger. The picks are their own and the Falcons. Unless Stafford is hurt all year and the Rams tank for the #1 pick, they would have to give up way more than those two firsts to move to #1 overall to get Arch. If Arch plays so well that he declares after this year, the team with the #1 overall pick probably wouldn’t be willing to trade out anyways.
-
I wonder if the loser of the RT battle could slide to LG and start there. The fact that Neto is in year 4 and hasn't gotten much playing time and still can't win a starting job seems like a bit of a red flag.

I honestly can’t tell if A&M athletics wants this published to convince recruits they’re one of the biggest players in college athletics or if this is a hit piece because A&M has so little to show for $51 million.

OU Football 2025 - Cheated Its Way To a Backdoor CFP Appearance
Burt Macklin replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
It cracks me up that there are national pundits out there predicting Mateer to win the Heisman or thinking he will be an elite QB this year. He had a very good season last year, and he's a good QB. But his schedule was a joke. WSU had a large talent advantage in 8 of their 12 games, and 5 of their games last year were against teams outside the top 100 in Defensive FEI. Not surprisingly, most of those are the teams he feasted against and inflated his stats. He will be playing with better talent on offense, but the comparative talent against his opponents will get significantly worse for him this year. When you look at the defenses that were in the top 70 in DFEI (Tech 44th, UW 29th, Boise 32nd, Fresno 66th), his stats give a much more realistic indicator of what type of player he is. He had a great game against Boise and ran all over a poorly coached Tech defense, but he struggled mightily passing against three of the four. In total, he was 69/125, 55.2%, 215 YPG, 4 TDs 4 INTs with 75 Atts for 333 yds at 4.44 YPC. He's not great in the pass game against competition with a pulse, but he did hurt some of those teams on the ground. However, it's going to take a serious toll if he tries to have 20 carries per game against every average or better defense he faces this year. Anyone expecting Mateer to be a savior for the OU offense that can singlehandedly overcome a questionable OL and weak offensive weapons is in a for a rude awakening this Fall.

Super lucky for Pato to be able to pit right before the yellow for Rossi came out. That won him the race. Sucks for Herta. He qualified on pole and was the fastest car all race, and was even about claw back a podium until a late yellow, but the yellows didn’t work in his favor and he ends up fourth. He deserved to win today.

Yep. This stuff was leaked because they wanted to out him due to all the collusion and hiding info from the players union. Him and Tretter are pieces of shit that deserve to go.

A&M drops from 82% down to 63% once they factor in transfers. -
That’s a pretty fucking terrible article for tOSU. If Sayin doesn’t turn out to be the guy, they are in huge trouble this year. Can’t wait to see him pissing his pants as Collin Simmons lives in the backfield all game.

Interesting Reddit post about a legit contract with real obligations for the player from a collective getting denied.
