  1. She's a very freaky mom The kind you don't take home to get mothered But she'll never let your spirits down Once you get her off the street, ow mom
  2. No doubt. Watch that Dawand Jones video than look at the pic of Hookfin.
  3. EJ looks like he is pulling a page out of the aggy notebook or else he has been reading too much Hank Scorpio. It looks like we are going to be putting our name on the 2nd place recruiting trophy. These 5-star players are just dying to come to Texas, but Texas just ran out of frequent flier miles to overcome the distance factor. I know CTJ says EJ has no sources within the program, but that report sounds like just the sort of staff overconfidence CTJ alluded to earlier.
  4. Georgia's schedule was only less pathetic because they played Bama. Clemson only had Ga Southern and Furman as gimmes OOC, while Georgia had Austin Peay, MTSU, and UMass. OSU had only Tulane and even with the loss they still had by far the best win of any of the three. (OK Oregon State sucks, but they are better than either of those FCS teams.)
  5. Scorpio bit? Just go read the thread on unpaid college players sitting out bowl games to protect their NFL futures.
  6. I am thinking that Kliff's options probably weren't as good as were being speculated. The only real NFL tidbit we got was a consultant role with the Rams. Might have turned into something better, but that doesn't seem like an obviously better gig than OC at USC. He may be really intent on staying in the college game, but I have a feeling the real NFL options weren't that enticing or never really materialized in any concrete form. (LOL at him being considered for NFL HC jobs!)
  7. They have been 43, 43, and 39 in the 247 composite while he has been in Columbia (37, 25, 43 in the three years before he arrived). I am sure that 4 spot increase this year was all due to relationships Joe Jon formed during the prior two years. That ranking was probably a lot higher, but since he left they surely had a rash of decommits.
  8. Think of the sheer numbers of our own forefathers who fucked her.
  9. No like he was going to prove anything to NFL scouts against that aggy D. Probably was warned about their Honor Code and decided the risk of getting hurt to a dirty play was too great.
  10. Unless he has already decided he wants nothing to do with the NFL, it seems waiting would make the most sense. Even if the NFL HC thing seems far-fetched, he could have several pro-options to choose from and I am sure there will be other more stable, if not as prestigious, OC options at the college level as well. No matter how he performs at SC, I would think the likelihood of him being their next HC is almost as far-fetched as the NFL HC thing is.
  11. How many quality RBs will be available as grad transfers? It always seems like grad transfers are a big crap shoot. There always seems to be a lot of QBs for obvious reasons, but even those seem to be mostly projects with one or two 'can't miss' types. OL seems to have their fair share as well since teams carry so many of them on their rosters. Since we haven't really done the grad transfer game much, I don't even know what is likely in most years.
  12. I don't necessarily have a problem with a non-conference winner winning a title. The problem I have is that the team got an invitation over another conference's title winner. (And it isn't like all the other conferences had underdog, low ranked champs.) The current system is stupid and capricious. Other systems have their own biases, which is why conference autobids should be a part of the selection process. If all P5 conference champs have a spot, then there is a clear pre-season path to the playoffs. Any At-large spots can be doled out using a biased method, though I would hope that and seeding would be done with some transparent, pre-defined metrics taken into account.
  13. I am guessing the best game was the Nebraska 5th down game. I can only assume that he is talking about the best games where the refs picked the winner.
  14. Machinator is some sort of German cyborg. So he either has the board's code embedded in his schnitzel or he just hacked the damned thing and forced a new page.
  15. The expectation is FUPM.
  16. And how many total blocks? 2 or 3? The Mackey Award is for functional TEs, not a WR who is instead labeled as a TE.
  17. Which is sad, because the real reason for getting away from FSU should have been the embarrassment of having your wife going through the AD directory looking for real men to give her some satisfaction in bed.
  18. Take this to the realignment thread... Realistically here is what we would get: 8 team playoff, P5 champs get autobids. 1 spot reserved for highest ranked G5. Seeding and 2 wild cards picked by ESPN's dingleberry committee. A less, realistic, and fairer version that isn't stupid: 8 team playoff, P5 champs get autobids. No conference has more than 2 teams. Three wildcards picked from rankings with approved, transparent computer rankings. Same formula would be used for seeding. (Even better if the computer models have to count FCS teams as a negative factor.)
  19. These aren't AP voters...not sure why that would impact committee decisions.
  20. It is a big reason why we have to bother with a CCG. The supermajority represent conferences that have a CCG. Why the hell would they vote in a Big 12 team with 12 games when their representatives have to take the risk of a 13th game? I am sure the Pac and Big 10 reps will often act as a bloc as will the SEC and ACC reps. Perhaps one of these days the Big 10, Pac, and Big 12 will tell an SEC team to fuck off for only having 8 conference games and for playing 2 G5s and an FCS team OOC. They will probably play that card against an ACC team at some point, because I bet ESPN dictates that they overrate the SEC.
  21. I does and will continue to, so take the loss pussy. The Big 12 wants to be a factor in the playoffs. The committee is a bullshit cabal whose membership ultimately is biased towards SEC, Big 10, ACC, and Pac. If those conferences are going to risk their playoff spot with a CCG, their committee reps are going to ensure that game gets overvalued. Add in that ESPN has bigger stakes in those conferences than the Big 12 and they too will welcome pushing out a Big 12 team, especially if it won't cost them any or many eyeballs. Texas may be the most insulated from this, but then we don't get to make the conference's rules. (Sadly, even if the playoff went to 8 and the Big 12 got an auto-bid and made the CCG unnecessary, it will still exist purely as a money grab.)
  22. What should the conference care about? Without the CCG the first place team gets left to the mercy of the committee, whose purpose is supposedly to pick the best teams, but instead makes up rules to pick teams based the conferences they represent and ESPN's financial interests. Without the CCG, a Big 12 team pretty much needs to be undefeated to ensure a spot in the playoffs. No one cares if we played 1 G5 and 11 P5 teams while Bama played 1 FCS, 2 G5s, and 10 P5 teams, we'll get trumped by them if both teams have a loss. Rinse and repeat with (at least) OSU, Michigan, PSU, Clemson, FSU, Miami, USC, Washington, Stanford, UCLA, and at this point pretty much any other SEC team not named Vanderbilt or Kentucky. Kind of like ND, another blue blood who has no room for error when it comes to the playoffs, but without the luxury of being able to schedule 7 games however you want.
  23. Woo hoo! Shitty NY6 bowl games in perpetuity! Nothing like getting a game that doesn't matter at the end of the year, while the 'big boys' play for the hardware that matters.
  24. I think the problem was that we weren't going pay above $5M. We probably needed to money-whip some of the entrenched, quality coaches. That is assuming Patterson actually reached out to them. Of the guys that we supposedly contacted or interviewed, I think Briles would have been successful here, but obviously I am glad my pick didn't get the job. I am confident Franklin would have failed here. In some ways his Vandy tenure has played out similarly at PSU, beat the bad teams, lose to anyone with equal or more talent. Look at PSU's schedules since he took over. His 7-6 seasons are likely losing records here. He now has them winning through easy OOC schedules and a Big 10 that is weak compared to the Big 12. He might have made it to year 4 just because he seems to avoid the KU-type losses, but I think he would have regularly gotten outcoached in the Big 12, so just replace Strong's few good wins with some of his bad losses. He still hasn't beaten as many ranked teams as Strong did in 3 years. He can definitely recruit though. I am not as sure about Mora. At the time we were looking, he had a solid resume that showed he could recruit and win against ranked teams. Didn't follow UCLA enough to understand why the bottom fell out the way it did.
  25. This thread serves the purpose of keeping a bunch of stupid threads from starting after the first quarter of every other game from people who feel the need to bitch. At the very least, can't we wait until he wins a couple of conference titles in the next few season? I don't want to go through another 5 year plus stretch where we win games, but don't actually win anything of actual consequence.
