  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."

    My unpopular opinion: $140 mil on this piece of shit is lipstick on a boar hog. It should have been blown up decades ago. And spending that money for basically one game a year plus some Mexican soccer is really stupid financial thinking.

    The game should either be home and home or at JerryWorld. If you say we have to maintain tradition and we’ve always played there and it’s culture then look in the mirror when you’re making fun of the Aggies clinging to every fucking whoop shit thing they cling to.

    Or play it for real on the red river flipping between the parking lots of Winstar in Thackerville and the porn store in Gainesville.

    Some of yall sound like a bunch of Aggies crying about letting women be enrolled or having to desegregate the team.

    Definitely true when Ewers initially returned. Not so much the last 2 weeks (Texas Tech and Oklahoma State). 

    A big reason why teams had more issues getting pressure the last 2 weeks is 21 personnel. When you have 2 RBs running in different directions it requires more gap integrity instead of just running like a wild man upfield. 

    In the Tech game, they had to pretty much abandon getting upfield because 1) Their LBs were guessing the wrong direction of the run play. 2) There were big gaps from the DL because they were trying to get pressure. That's a recipe for disaster when defending the run. 

    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.

    im so happy for you. uw doesn’t win because they generate more of those plays. They win because they generate them when it matters.

    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.

    yikes, for the huskies. if they can't get ewers with nervous feet it could be a long night.

    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.

    Hasn’t Sark already made a couple comments that make it sound like he’s just happy to have made the playoff? I thought in his interview on ESPN after the selection, he barely stopped himself from saying Texas is playing with house money, which is part of the HH lexicon after he famously said that after UW got to 6 wins in one of our magical 7 win seasons under him.

    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.

    I’m not betting on Texas points or no points. W is the toughest matchup for us.

    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.

    I absolutely believe you, my man. I also know that Oregon thought they’d bully us on the lines, beat the shit out of Penix, and run all over us, and it didn’t work out so well. Or OC has gone full retard for several game stretches this year, and our defense is infuriating to watch most of the time, but this team just wins. It’s not enjoyable to watch most of the time, but there’s no coach, QB, or team I’d rather have in the 4th quarter of a close game. It defies logic, but they get it done. Winners win.

    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.

    I’m glad to see one of you guys knows how to talk football. I agree with you. Line play is going to be the difference. Both teams have shit pass defenses and great skill players. If you guys pressure Penix and stop DJ, you win. If not, we win.

    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.

    The most frustrating thing for me is they talk about "eye test". UT beating Bama was the biggest win of the year. Hell it might be the biggest win the last 3-4 years. I cant thing of any bigger. First team since Cam to win in that stadium. Did they not see that? They think beating shit teams by 50 is more impressive? Idiotic,

     

    Not a conspiracy guy. I do think these people are letting bias show thru greatly though
