  1. Our OL has been maligned around here all season. Do you think Miami's line is inferior to ours? Honest question.
  2. I don't know a lot about Miami. They've looked good in the games I saw. Looking at their schedule, they've stomped a number of teams including Pitt to end the season. The Aggies narrowly won their close games with lesser opponents, Miami narrowly lost similar games. It's probably prejudice, but I feel like A&M is no more proven than Miami. They led us at halftime, but we were robbed of two drives by non-calls of pass interference. Those passes may have been caught, or Texas may have proceeded to score after the penalties. No matter what, we didn't get those opportunities. If the Aggies get their big play guys going, I think it's a high scoring game where I give the edge to Miami barring a Beck turnover fest. I see Miami winning, but I'm a football idiot. A nice spanking of the Aggies leaving them to spend the off-season saying losing to us than immediately getting bumped from the playoff is far better than beating us. Aggie mental contortion.
  3. Nicely fashioned argument. You're special.
  4. Yes, they should be even-tempered like Surly!
  5. Well, Napoleon found the crown in the gutter. Trump is dragging his down to the gutter.
  6. Looks like a fuckin' Participation Medal awards ceremony at a Special Olympics. Except actual participants are generally kind by nature and good human beings.
  7. SEC Mike and a few others know how to keep a floor to their ratings: Tell Aggies what they want to hear. Tapping into their desire to find a way to say they actually beat Texas even after losing to them is the smart business move. Stoking their fantasy about being elite is another smart move. We know what's next.
  8. All of sports are meaningless exhibition. People like the immediate drama of not knowing who will win a game. If all someone cares about is the season, why watch anything other than a championship game? It actually nicely links to what watching a game offers: small victories like first downs, larger victories like scoring or smothering the other team, and all the way to the final victory. The result of the game becomes a small victory that's part of a season. Players like to play. I'm sure anybody on this board who played would be ecstatic to play another meaningless exhibition. Who cares about a bloodless calculation made by some fan who whines at anything less than total victory? If I had the privilege of being a player, I'd be all about "Let's suit up and play Michigan. Sounds like fun to me." I don't even understand what pleasure there is in following the sport any other way. Of course, some seem to watch the Longhorns to feed some sort of weird displeasure jones. Players bound for the NFL in a few months may want to sit out, but they know they will play again.
  9. The Notre Dame special deal needs to end. They're no more important to college football than Alabama, USC, Texas, or any number of other teams who people feel are good for college football. It's not the job of college football to keep ND independent and relevant. What leverage other than nostalgia do they have to demand their deal?
  10. I'd say the important factor is getting the top 8 correct. Get out much lower than that and you get endless bickering about who had superior losses. If you're microscoping three losses, you don't belong among the elite. Sorry. Shoulda won more games than 9.
  11. It occurred to me yesterday that the bye week gives conference championship game winners the same time off that non-championship game contenders get before their first playoff game. Seems fair. I'm not sure if that was the intention or not, but Georgia deserves the same three weeks that A&M is getting. I think 8 teams sounds about right, too.
  12. Just recall that this got started because we decided to accommodate the number five teams. That should do it, that should be enough! Nope. Now we're down to accommodating teams not even in the top ten. When we go to 16, look for another round of the same thing. Please make it stop there. Whining from number 13 is enough. Fuck you if you can't get into the top 16. I'm also fine with the reasoning for us not getting in. Beating Florida is not a tall order and we failed. We were not good offensively for half the season. It would have kept us out of the top ten any season. Please don't bother regurgitating yet again the rationale for us being in. I've read it. It's not totally unreasonable, but get over it.
  13. Almost sorry I opened this. Absolutely revolting. The USN made into blood thirsty pirates. The president jacking off to it. His followers cheering. Yep, there were terrorists at work that night. No doubt.
