  1. Oh man the spin on these hires is going to be gold. "No, we didn't get the flashy big names & we didn't want them. Don't listen to the naysayers in Austin, a&m never really wanted the big names (Lanning, Deboer, Dabo). Sure we called them just for due diligence & if we wanted them we would have had them. If a&m offers Sark $10mm a year he wouldn't even finish the playoffs, he'd be on the next greyhound here if needed. But we didn't want them. We wanted the right guy. That's Elko. Same for Klein. Elko was given a blank check & he went and got exactly who he wanted. Big name? No. Big results? You bet. Look at the points he put up at KSU. KSU!! He just turned down PSU. PSU couldn't pull Klein but a&m pulled him away just by giving him a little wink because he knows what kind of opportunity this is. Just imagine what he's going to be able to do with all the talent right in a&m's back yard. Elko isn't going after the splashy hires, he's going after the guys that have a chip on their shoulder, ready to prove to the world that they belong at a top 5 job. That's what a&m is. Top 5. Ask anyone & the only people who will argue with you are the ones in Austin or the ones who are just jealous. a&m is a top 5 job any way you look at it. Facilities? Top 5. Fan Base? Top 5 - obviously the best imo. Commitment? Top 5. We just need the wins to match it & Elko has the right guys to get us there. I couldn't be more excited."
  2. He's normally fine imo but he was definitely a little bitch during the Big 12 championship. Hopefully he won't be mensurating for this game
  3. It happened 2 or 3 times during the TTU game, maybe not so much the OSU game but I was mostly drunk during that one so I don't remember.
  4. Holy shit this is entertaining as hell. Will OSU agree to play 6-man football for the bowl game or will aggy have to forfeit.... AGAIN?
  5. This I agree with & Penix has delivered when needed this year. It's part of what makes him special. If it comes down to the last possession of the game I sure hope we have the ball trying to score & not y'all.
  6. Unfortunately for us, Ewers has walked himself into several sacks vs. 3 & 4 man fronts since his return. I think he was just protecting his shoulder as much as possible, but he wasn't nearly as willing to run as he was early in the season & the 1 time he did vs OSU he missed the next play with an injury. Hopefully the month off allows his shoulder to fully heal & to gain confidence in being able to take off to get a first down when it's needed. If Ewers starts feeling phantom pressure then it's going to be a long night.
  7. Getting your ass handed to you by Bama 8 years ago isn't quite the flex you think it is. Congrats on it though, it must have been a real honor.
  8. What Sark says to the media & what's going on in meetings can be 2 very different things. Maybe we can glean a little bit more from interviews in the week leading up to the game. If he's still spouting off "just happy to be here" & not "we came here to prove a point" then I'll start getting worried. I'm not worried what he said 10 seconds after finding out that they had been selected though since it was no guarantee that we were in.
  9. They were the one team of the 4 other CFP contenders I didn't want to face because of Penix. I have no idea how he'll fare in the NFL but he's exactly what you want in a college QB & he's going up against the weakest part of our team. If we can't get consistent pressure with only the DL we may have to score 40 just to have a chance. That said, if UW fans are expecting the same UT team from last year to show up they're going to be sadly disappointed. Worthy dropping everything, Casey fucking Cain being our leading WR, Brooks on 1/2 a leg & Krob rushing for all of 45 yards. I understand they've upgraded as well but this years team beats the Alamo Bowl UT team by 3 TDs. So long as Sark isn't trying to get our guys read with the BS he tried in the cotton bowl "Hey, we're so lucky to be able to compete on this glorious field with this fine weather." la-tee-da bullshit & it's more along the lines of what we've seen the last 2 weeks where we're just in complete "fuck you" mode I think we'll be fine. If someone on the Washington DL or OL could give us some bulletin board material that'd be nice.
  10. From what I've seen Penix + Odunze are going to give us fits & I don't know if there's a better clutch combo in the playoffs. If there is one worth mentioning in the same breath it'd be Ewers & AD but Penix has like a decade of experience & just seems to make every single play exactly when it's needed.
  11. Let me get this straight. If we stop your passing game AND your running game we'll win? It's that easy? Man, you're the regular football savant. Glad you came over here to enlighten us.
  12. Example # 1,536 why there should be different targeting penalties. Charge us 15 for the blindside/targeting? Okay. He missed the second half of a championship game & the first half of a playoff game for that?!? Bull-fucking-shit. This shit needed to be fixed years ago but, alas, the NCAA.
  13. So do we Leon, so do we.
  14. If our secondary plays like it did yesterday we’re in for a long night vs. the UW offense. Penix isn’t missing his guys when they get behind us. Button it up and keep them under 30 and we’re golden because they aren’t stopping our offense with much regularity.
  15. so we’ve had 2 weeks and a billions posts and now that all the games are done, we still have no fucking clue what’s going to happen?!? My guess is: UM UW FSU UT I don’t see the committee leaving the undefeated P5 champs out and I think the committee respects the h2h over Bama as well as how dominant we’ve looked the last 2 weeks.
  16. The Big 12 needs to whore itself in any & every way possible to make as much money as possible while they can. It's only going to get worse once their pimps are gone.
  17. Harbaugh didn't coach in the last 3 conference games either. What a great example! The last time the Big 12 COTY went to someone whose team didn't finish the season first was in 2019 to Rhule when Baylor finished T-1st & wasn't skull fucked in embarrassing fashion by 2 awful teams. Before that Campbell won it back to back years as he lead ISU from the basement dwellers they had been for a decade to respectable. It's not the end of the world, but it's a bullshit decision & it's spiteful & cost Sark $50k.
