Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

Couldn’t really ask for more in an inaugural season. SLC on notice, this is a program that will compete. I’m hoping ACU knocks out Lamar.

There’s definitely the .1 percent of experts but you won’t hear from them, they are all writing sober journal articles and trying to survive in the hellscape that is modern history departments or area studies programs. But the 99.9 percent of places you hear it? Mute: shrieking through bullhorns in western cíites, on podcasts, on TV, on streams, on social media, on message boards, from pundits, from any academic whose degree is NOT in a related field, on Twitter, from Western politicians, etc. Instant and reliable filtering of the dumb and angry.

To Tucker I add you to the “mute” list, so— theory continues to hold!

Good hire! And having the NT connection will be really valuable. OSU has to start getting some of the DFW athletes they used to lure. -
Tucker really proving my thesis that 99.9 percent of people who mention “Zionism” or “Zionist” can be safely put on mute. The terms hold no utility as descriptors, it’s just signaling to the angriest, dumbest and most conspiracy-addled. Safe to assume anyone using them is either in that group or manipulating that group.

The recently revealed X accounts are overwhelmingly not actual hostile foreign influence operations; they are small-scale efforts made possible by Elon’s monetization policies. They flock to MAGA and Gaza/Israel because that’s the confluence of the terminally online furious and ignorant where a low-effort slop account can find max credulous engagement. The sub-continent needs to be geo-fenced from the internets. Of course other places have scam and slop accounts, too. The subcontinent is unique: all the authentic engagement and content emanating from there is irredeemably worse, several times over, than the fake OF girls and MAGA rage bait. Going online now is swimming in a digital Ganges.

100 percent accurate. And to complicate things further, stats start doing counter-intuitive things that go against the way people colloquially talk about a “difficult” schedule. Two simplified models for the five game “meat” of two schedules: Team A: Four games where they have a 75 percent chance of winning, one game that is very hard against a very good opponent and they have a 25 percent chance of winning. Team B: Five games, they are all favored, all have a 60 percent chance of winning. The probability of running the table for both teams is basically identical (a bit under 8 percent), and in fact Team B has a slightly lower chance. But most fans and observers will greatly reward Team A because of that one very good win, and comparatively dismiss Team B because they are all games that they “should have won.” And that’s where a committee needs to plunge beyond surface “best wins/losses” discussions and get deeper on analytics when weighing teams. In general, humans tend to do two things when looking back at events have have happened whether sports, elections, or games of chance: 1. Are over-impressed when something happens that is “against the odds,” even something that only has a 10 or 5 percent chance of happening WILL happen. And when it does, it doesn’t mean the original odds were wrong. 2. Are under-impressed when something happens that the “odds favor,” as cumulatively these things begin plummeting quickly.

The marching routines and formatuons change from game to game, and there have been some new ones thought up. The music in the repetoire is all traditional matches but also will be mixed and matched. I know the big “recent” addition was the Patton themes. I am not sure if a Space Force March got added or indeed if the Space Force has a march at all.

Could have sworn that Javelina Stadium was a grass field but looks like they did switch to turf. Likely a lot more cost-effective in South Texas and holds up better for playoffs but I still hate losing real grass fields. -

The one upside of this stupid carousel season is that we are all about to learn some new names. Lots of assistants and hopefully FCS coaches getting their shot with a P4 program. -
Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

It’s the most recent ranking, the new CFP ranking comes out Tuesday. The question was whether UT is being considered among other two loss teams and the answer is clearly “yes.” -

I mean you don’t have to ask them, Texas is the highest ranked three loss team and above teams with 2 losses including a traditional power like Michigan. -

ENMU used to be a chippy but not great team that ruined a lot of good seasons for LSC teams in Blackwater Draw. They were a triple option team.
