  1. In comparing the two tOSU-Oregon games, I observe.... tOSU offensive production was roughly the same (467 yards vs. 500 yards) Oregon offensive product was 496 regular season vs. 276 in playoff game. tOSU had 2 fewer turnovers in the playoff game tOSU sacked Gabriel 8 times in playoff game; zero times in first game Oregon sacked Howard 1 time in first game; zero in playoff Jeremiah Smith was 9-100-1TD in the first game (10 targets) with an OPI; he was 7-187-2TD in playoff game (10 targets) - some longer plays, but similar "focus" in the offense in both games tOSU shut down Oregon running game in 2nd game Penalties Game 1: Oregon: 3-25, tOSU: 7-80 Game 2: Oregon: 3-14, tOSU: 2-13 The Oregon win over PSU had a similar "feel" to the first Oregon-tOSU game. Gabriel was protected. PSU made some mistakes. PSU had considerably more penalties. Oregon has struggled on defense against decent teams; in most of those games, they just outscored folks. In this game, tOSU had fewer mistakes and the D made Gabriel play from behind the sticks for in the entire 2nd half. Neither the Tennessee nor Oregon defense compares to Texas, IMO. Texas D is better than Michigan D and the Michigan D held tOSU in check. Both the Texas D and the Mich D have NFL DL and DB. tOSU targeted Jeremiah Smith on 9 plays. He had 5-35-1TD. 2 incomplete. 2 DPI.
  2. Elko is not (yet?) as unlikable as many of the past Aggy HCs. He seems like a normal, well-adjusted adult who will often tell the truth ("burp", "they physically annihilated us", etc.) I ran an errand with one of my daughters (no pics, you degenerates) yesterday and wore something similar - workout tshirt under a quarter-snap. I walked past a mirror and reflected, "wow, I think look like a hobo." Now, neither Elko nor I looked like hobos, but we easily could have dressed a bit better. That said, I think he needs a stylist. There are ways to dress that make you look less corpulent than you are.
  3. That confuses me, too. Typically, Apple will not allow an install of an invalid OS version.
  4. Wow. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/43272059/indiana-qb-kurtis-rourke-played-torn-acl-set-surgery Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke played the entire 2024 season with a torn ACL, his agent, Casey Muir of Octagon, told ESPN on Friday. Rourke will undergo surgery next week to repair the tear in his right knee ahead of the NFL draft. Rourke, who suffered the injury in August, first tore the same ACL during the 2022 season while at Ohio. This season, the Canadian native led Indiana to a school-record 11 wins and an appearance in the College Football Playoff. He passed for 3,042 yards with 29 touchdowns and five interceptions, had the fifth-best QBR in the country at 85.2, and finished ninth in voting for the Heisman Trophy.

  5. Sorry if you already looked this up, but... https://support.apple.com/en-us/101666#:~:text=A prohibitory symbol%2C which looks,until your Mac turns off. A prohibitory symbol, which looks like a circle with a line or slash through it, means that your startup disk contains a Mac operating system, but it's not a version or build of macOS that your Mac can use. Press and hold the power button on your Mac for up to 10 seconds, until your Mac turns off. (Every Mac has a power button. On laptop computers that have Touch ID, press and hold Touch ID.) Follow the steps in this article: How to repair a Mac disk with Disk Utility. It describes how to start up from macOS Recovery instead of the installed operating system, then use Disk Utility to repair your startup disk. If Disk Utility finds no errors or repairs all errors, continue to the next step. While still in macOS Recovery, install a version of macOS that your Mac can use: How to reinstall macOS.
  6. Texas was not joining the SEC for intellectual or academic reasons - that would have been either B1G or PAC (before it self-immolated). It should be no surprise that the Big12 and SEC folks are morons. The USC one, though, is strange - probably related to 2005.
  7. Purdue scored 7. Shit, Hudson card threw a TD against UND. That said, UND was up 49-0, so the circumstances were a bit different
  8. Kirk Bohls, alleged Texas graduate, eat a bag of dicks.
  9. I believe Skat played most of the latter part of that game concussed. If so, ASU should be ashamed - and then admit another 15k students into their "digital immersion" programs.
  10. Yes. Montgomery is out for the year. However, saying Zeke has some gas left in the tank is misleading, as the tank is no longer connected to the machine. That said, Detroit OL is good and the OC is competent, so Zeke could be "ok" on occasion.
  11. It was a shot to all of the whiners out there, and Mack is one of them. Mack is the carburetor salesman in the days of fuel injection; a buggy whip salesman in the early days of of the automobile. Adapt or die.
  12. “Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.” ― John Maynard Keynes Reference w/ additional background. John Maynard Keynes' famous quote, "Markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent," emphasizes the unpredictable nature of financial markets and the risks of betting against them, even when you believe they are mispriced or irrational. Keynes suggests that: Irrational Market Behavior: Financial markets don't always behave logically or in line with fundamental economic indicators. Prices may fluctuate wildly due to speculation, investor sentiment, or external shocks that don't align with actual economic conditions. Risk of Timing the Market: Even if you're correct in assessing the market is irrational (e.g., a stock price is overvalued), it's challenging to predict when that irrational behavior will correct itself. The market can continue to behave irrationally longer than an investor can sustain losses from being on the "right" side of the trade too early. Solvency Risk: If an investor places a bet expecting the market to revert to rationality, they can lose a lot of money if the market continues its irrational behavior. A fundamentally sound investor can go bankrupt (lose solvency) before the market corrects itself. In short, Keynes warns that even when you believe the market is misbehaving, it may continue to do so for longer than your financial position can tolerate. This highlights the importance of timing and the perils of assuming that markets will quickly align with rational expectations.
  13. Not everyone can be as pretty as we are.
  14. 33 with 2 personal fouls/. What a piece of shit.
  15. Louis Riddick has said "textbook" so many times tonight, I decided to find the textbook.
  16. What a stupid call on 3rd and 1.
  17. Yes. They just showed the replay. Fucking cheap shot by #33. Might earn a fine in the NFL.
  18. PSU is such a dislikable team and program.
  19. Great fucking song. Listen to the girl As she takes on half the world Moving up and so alive In her honey dripping beehive Beehive It's good, so good, it's so good So good Walking back to you Is the hardest thing that I can do That I can do for you For you I'll be your plastic toy I'll be your plastic toy For you Eating up the scum Is the hardest thing for Me to do Just like honey
  20. These refs are shit. They've missed multiple false starts by PSU. Easiest call in officiating.
  21. That OPI was so egregious, Kevin Mar would have gotten it right.
  22. PSU getting benefits of officiating so far. This hold *might* have been legit, but the officials have missed holds, motion, etc. against PSU. Oh and Allar whines too much to officials.
  23. Just turned it on. Acho and his sidekick are hideous. And Brian Kelly is a 1000% jerk.
  24. I hope DeBoer belches in the post-game presser.
  25. These knucklehead commentators think Milroe is a first-rounder? Nope.
