  1. 14-13 over Rutgers. Is Nebraska...back?

    On a serious note, they should just say fuck it and go after Deion. Laugh if you will, but he would immediately put them in the national spotlight for the first time in 20+ years. And recruits love the spotlight. It would be the ultimate high risk/high reward hire, but what do they have to lose at this point? Matt Campbell or Luke Fickell aren't resurrecting that program.

    I distinctly remember him getting up gimpy at least once. Can't recall when though.

    He was limping after recovering the botched snap. Didn't seem to affect him the rest of the game. Seems like he's just a guy that gets "hurt" a lot, but not necessarily "injured."

    I am fully convinced Jimbo is pulling a Costanza and trying to get fired so he can go back to Deliverance-Land. Would you rather spend 8-9 years in purgatory (Collie Station) with everyone hating you, or would you rather get fired, collect $90 million right away, and go back to your dream job? That is a no-brainer IMO. He is even on record stating he wants to GTFO. Ha!

    No trophies for him to do that with.

    We're so mediocre that's it's being reduced to a.) not being able to wait until some other team puts Tech, or anyone else we lose to, in its place or b.) whining about how badly we would have beaten Alabama if those damned refs had not hated us so much. 

    12 years (plus) of mediocrity drives some to such mind-numbing nonsense where we have to rely on other teams to help generate some satisfaction or blaming officials which is just as comical.

    Teams that are well coached and execute simply chuckle at shit like the above. Unfortunately, we're nowhere near either zip code. Sucks, but it's true. 

    We're just fans, and we've been kicked in the balls repeatedly for 12 years. We can blame and whine about whatever the hell we want.

    The idea is that we suck because of our school’s culture.  Wealthy meddling donors and fair-weather, fickle fans leading to spoiled entitled players (and coaches).

    Every major program has wealthy meddling donors, and every fanbase would be fickle after 12+ years of suckage.

    And yet he retained the worst coach on staff. Unbelievable. 

    The way he filled out his staff was a huge red flag for me. Hiring a DC after filling out the defensive staff? An O-line coach that doubles as the OC? Just a shit show from the beginning.

    Because we continue to hire DC's like Orlando and PK that want DL to occupy blockers, play soft coverage, or blitz from 20 yards away (TO).

     

    I thought we should've just retained Ash. Whatever.

    With Herman we had worse recruiting but overall more toughness and resiliency.

    Herman also wasn't able to throw NIL money at recruits. Not defending Herman (he had 4 years and couldn't get it done), but it's not like Sark is some recruiting savant.

  9. Tom was/is an asshole, but that had nothing to do with him being fired, and has nothing to do with him not coaching now. Remember when we tried replacing him with Urban?

    He was fired for being mediocre. He's a high floor/low ceiling coach. His teams play physical and he has some talent as a game planner (when he feels like it), but he doesn't know how to run an elite program. He had multiple recruiting classes with only two O-linemen, and Kai Money was getting meaningful snaps in his final year. Watching guys like Luke Brockermeyer and Jett Bush on our 3rd string defense last night was a nice reminder of his terrible roster management.

    Forget OU and Georgia. Bama, Clemson and Ohio State have just gobbled up talent because they get in the Final Four nearly every year. It's become a very select group that get in the playoffs at a consistent clip and the recruiting bears that out. Of course there are other things in play but the fact remains the playoff needs to be expanded ASAP.

    There have always been teams that gobbled up the talent. What Bama, Clemson, and Ohio State have done is nothing new. We did the same thing in the 2000s. The "problem" is that Bama is just too fucking good.

    I haven't read any of the replies yet but I'm offering my HSO's anyways. We need to quickly go to a 12 or 16-team playoff. The 4-team playoff is an abject disaster. The best kids want to play for the schools in the playoff -- that's Bama, Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia and a couple of interlopers here and there. They go every year and therefore gobble up the talent. The bowls have been gutted by players (and teams, aggy) opting out so who gives a fuck moving forward. They're done. Just get 16 (or 12 teams) together, incorporate how many bowls you need to set the bracket, and play a tournament. The other 25+ bowls can invite teams to come play but some players will sit out. That's where we are now.

    We've recruited just as well as OU over the years. Not to the level of Bama/UGA/Clemson (although that could change with NIL), but not far behind. Our problem is that we've squandered more talent than any program in the country. I don't really care if they expand the playoff or not, but it's not going to fix Texas' problems.

    this

    it won't make a shit but if the core of college football fans around the country deliberately ran their TVs on another channel, say, one of the trash shopping channels, the ratings spike would send a message

    a 4-hour spike of 1 million viewers for the home shopping network combined with a #metoo tweetstorm would send a message

    What message? That Bama needs to not be so good?

    This same scenario happened last year, though. Notre Dame/Clemson played in the ACC title game. ND was undefeated and beat Clemson earlier in the year. Clemson wins and we see that same exact matchup in the semis and for a third time that season. 

    SEC slotting them 2 in the semis means they guarantee one of their own for the national championship. But split them apart and they could get their all SEC national championship game. Which would be the third time happening in a decade. 

    It was Bama/ND and tOSU/Clemson in the semis.

    any bama / uga rematch will be bad for cfb. this shit is broken and needs to be fixed.

     

     

    Both teams will need to win in the semis for there to be a rematch. The only "fix" is for other teams to step up and beat the SEC teams. I don't want to see it either, but that's the reality.

    I absolutely would rather play Cincy.

    Scared. Nah, but gimme Cincy all day over uga.

    Still no one outside of 5 states wants to Georgia Bama final so why even leave a possibility out there.

    Giving you shit.. but a Bama/UGA semi ain't happening. First (and most importantly), we just watched it. Second, Cincy is seen as the easiest matchup, and Bama gets the benefit of the doubt because they're fucking Bama.

    But if you beat UGA (and I think you have a decent chance), we don't have to worry about a rematch.

  16. Just now, Doc Sam Beckett said:

    Yes. Baylor won their conference and haven't been beaten by another playoff team. We all think Georgia would kill Baylor, but we haven't seen that game. We've seen Bama vs Georgia. 

    If Oklahoma State was undefeated and Baylor had one loss, and Baylor upset Oklahoma State in the Big 12 championship game, would we be saying both teams deserve to be in the playoffs? No, we only do this for the SEC and Big 10.

    The Big 12 is dogshit. Our sorry team should've beaten both of the teams in the championship game.

  17. 2 minutes ago, Doc Sam Beckett said:

    Yeah it boils down to the same argument it's always been, the best or most deserving teams. We know Cincy and Bama are better than ND and Georgia, so that should eliminate ND and Georgia. Moving down the list, Baylor is the next most deserving team that won't give us something we've already seen. I think Georgia would wipe the floor with Baylor, but we haven't seen Baylor against the other playoff teams, so we really don't know. 

    So since the two teams that beat Baylor are (much) shittier than the one team that beat UGA, they should be in the playoff? It'll be Bama, UM, UGA, Cincy, which is perfectly reasonable. It might be the easiest decision the committee has ever had to make.
