Everyone on Auburn’s offense has butter fingers. Amazing.

They did not want to pay his $65mm buyout AND go find a new coach in one of the wildest coaching carousels in recent memory. It's not a bad decision, but it's not a winning decision either. Norvell has golden handcuffs/parachute, while FSU has a golden millstone around its neck.- 2025 Random Games thread

Observations on LSU/OU: Both teams are really very mediocre. Both teams are not very football smart. Van Buren would be Texas's 5th option at QB Venables seems like he's not a very smart man. Camera men and producers did a good job finding random attractive women in the crowd. Made the game more watchable.- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
I am not sure how any sane person could watch any of BYU, Miami, or Michigan and conclude, "Yes, they are superior to Texas." Of course, tOSU are solving the Michigan problem for us.- 2025 Random Games thread
Yeah - agree. That said, it seemed to be a call they could have let go - just a warning not to do it again.- 2025 Random Games thread
Beck sucks. Pitt playing stupid. And refs have their thumbs on the scale. ACC will not let Miami lose this. See 2023 FSU/Louisville and 2024 ACC champ game.- tOSU @ Michigan - Fox
How was he not ejected for that?- Texas vs. Texas A&M - 6:30pm on ABC

The networks will be very interested in (and invested in) the OOC scheduling references/suggestions. 2024 Week 2, Texas/Michigan: 9.19M 2025 Week 1 TV ratings/viewers: Texas-Ohio State (FOX): 16.623M Notre Dame-Miami (ABC, Sunday): 10.800M Alabama-Florida State (ABC): 10.700M LSU-Clemson (ABC): 10.400M TCU-North Carolina (ESPN, Monday): 6.184M South Carolina-Virginia Tech (ESPN, Sunday): 5.400M Georgia Tech-Colorado (ESPN, Friday): 3.700M Nebraska-Cincinnati (ESPN, Thursday): 3.300M South Dakota-Iowa State (FOX): 3.044M Auburn-Baylor (FOX, Friday): 2.832M Syracuse-Tennessee (ABC): 2.600M Some other random OOC games Michigan - OU: 9.7M UND-aTm: 6.2M Wisconsin-Bama: 4.5M ISU-Iowa: 4.28M SJSU - Texas: 3.7M If Texas had scheduled Purdue or Michigan State instead of tOSU in week 1, Texas now sits at 10-2 and that game likely sees around 10M fewer viewers. The networks would not appreciate it...- Texas vs. Texas A&M - 6:30pm on ABC
- Brian Kelly to L$U
My comment was about the distraction Brian Kelly might cause by accompanying his son on senior day - and thinking about the impact to the *other* seniors being honored on senior day. There was a non-zero chance it became a fiasco.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Texas would end up... Opp Win Pct: 0.504 - 9th above - (SJSU, UTEP, and SHSU are a combined 7-26; add in UF and Ark: 12-43) SOS: 10 - 3rd SOR: 13 - 12 Wins vs top 25: 2 - T4 Before playing aTm. Opponent's win percentage in games Texas won: 0.421 - 0.468 discounting their losses to Texas.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Roads, schools, and hospitals will suffer for the next decade. Worth it for them , though.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
I did a quick search - roughly $30mm. $500k per month for 5 years. I actually thought Smith would be competent there. Funny - some MSU fans were hopeful that Oregon State would take him off their hands.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
This looks like a solid hire for Oregon State. Vigen replaced Choate when Choate joined the Texas staff in 2021. Vigen was 47-10 at Montana State.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
IIRC, that is after the 2024 game. In 2023, FAU beat USF 52-14. Herman left the starting QB in during the 4th quarter and had him throwing, too. I guess Golesh did not take kindly to it and brushed him off.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Seems like a good hire. Let's hope the AD went to Sam's and purchased a few crates of bleach to sanitize the place after Petrino is gone. I suspect the Waltons could donate it, too, as part of their benevolence.- Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?
Driving from Fort Collins to the Denver airport takes as long as getting from airport parking or rental return to the gate. May actually be more convenient - DIA access-wise - to live in FC than in Littleton, for example.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Understood - I want to see them all season. The challenge with the evolution toward 1-2 16-28 team super-conferences is that future historical records will approach 0.500. Outliers will approach 60% wins. It will be interesting to see what happens to donations, NIL, etc. when 10 wins becomes an anomaly for the top teams. There are not enough children's hospitals in Louisiana or enough treated lumber customers in Alabama to support such a thing. Edited to add - all records are 0.500 (duh), but the top-28 to 32 teams are well above that...- Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
The only ones in favor of G5 inclusion are lawyers, the people who pay lawyers, and the conferences who *might* have to pay damages. Otherwise, it's a waste of a playoff slot.- 2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
High quality entertainment and opposition for the fanbase. A home-and-home with tOSU is better than 2 home games with Rice. - 2025 Random Games thread
