  1. Ok, I mean . . . yeah. But in complete fairness, we all know he doesn't listen to them.
  2. This guy had three Alma maters playing next Saturday: 11:00: Highland Park for a state championship 11:00: SMU in the CFP 3:00: Texas in the CFP Add in Westlake (for my kids) at 7:00 for a state championship and I have a very full day of football.
  3. Goddamn, this is an entertaining match.
  4. I don’t think there’s any “may” about it.
  5. Which is why I edited. I can't tell with the tail. It could be bobbed. But it could be curled toward the camera. The coloring and the hind legs look like a bobcat. But the ears look like a puma. They're making coywolves now, maybe this is a buma. Or a pumacat. Or a bobgar.
  6. I can't really tell. The ears look awfully rounded when you zoom in.
  7. Eight scheduled conference games, but with a flex week on Championship Saturday. Top 2 teams go to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. Both teams get an automatic bid to the playoffs. Then the 3rd place team plays at home against the 6th place team; the 4th place team plays at home against the 5th place team--winner gets an auto bid. This structure may already be in the works. And then for funsies--have all the other teams play. The 8th team at the 7th team, and so on. The 16 at 15 game is to avoid relegation to the ACC.
  8. And as it turns out, UCLA would've been a pretty easy game that would've provided (perhaps misplaced) credit for beating a B1G team on the road.
  9. He's using it ironically. As in "huh--that doesn't sound like they're treating illegal drugs as very haram after all."
  10. So we get Clemson at home in two weeks?
  11. Looks like we’re going to get Clemson in two weeks.
  12. I honestly don’t know how you put that in Quinn. Unless you think he was calling the plays. That play calling disaster inside the red zone was 100% on Sark, and looked exactly like 2023.
  13. This isn’t in Quinn—when he throws, he’s been right on. This shitshow is entirely on Sark.
  14. How we can be The University of motherfucking Texas and have a kicker who wouldn’t start for most 6A high school teams in this state is fucking beyond me.
  15. Carson Beck’s eyes look like they’re put on upside down.
  16. That’s just a pretty poor effort by Bond.
  17. So since we are the higher seed, I assume we opted to wear the Stormtroopers?
  18. I have no idea. But a guy like Mike Gundy . . . in a town like Stillwater? You know there are several skeletons in that particular closet. Probably drunk pregnant skeletons, if I had to guess.
  19. That's not true at all. You just grab the bottle by the neck and sling it overhand, letting the centrifugal force keep the liquid in the bottle as it spins. Uhhh, or so I would infer based on my vast knowledge of physics. Yeah. That's it.
  20. Yeah, but seriously--it's Mike Gundy. You know they wouldn't have to look very hard to find cause, right?
  21. Nope. No--we are not doing that. Snitches get motherfucking stitches, bitch.
  22. Just to echo the points made by others, Ford Stadium is great for SMU's needs right now, and its size is very consistent with the current trend in college football. Attendance across college football is declining. And for that reason, you're seeing other private schools in P4 conferences downsize their stadiums (e.g., Stanford, Northwestern). And when Northwestern went to a tiny temporary stadium this year, it actually increased attendance and revenue. And cross-posting to the Big XII thread, the comparison to the other P4 private schools that are in major metropolitan areas is interesting: USC: L.A. Memorial Coliseum, 77,500. Undergrad enrollment, 21,000. Miami: Hard Rock Stadium, 65,326. Undergrad enrollment, 12,883 (Miami and USC’s respective home venues are, or were, home to NFL teams. Miami’s home stadium is 21 miles from its campus.) Stanford: Stanford Stadium, 50,424. Undergrad enrollment, 8,054 TCU: Amon G. Carter Stadium, 47,000. Undergrad enrollment, 11,049 Boston College: Alumni Stadium, 44,500.Undergrad enrollment, 9,575 Vanderbilt: FirstBank Stadium, 41,000. Undergrad enrollment, 7,152 Northwestern: Ryan Field, 35,000*. Undergrad enrollment, 8,846 (* Ryan Field is slated to open in 2026) SMU: Gerald J. Ford Stadium, 32,000. Undergrad enrollment, 7,285 The Star-Telegram's commentary from which these numbers are sourced points out that TCU isn't filling up its stadium, and it's a really bad look. You'd really rather be SMU and Northwestern, which are filling their stadiums with premium-seat holders, than TCU, which can't fill Amon Carter Stadium. So I'd say that SMU is very serious about its stadium. Ford Stadium is probably the perfect stadium for SMU right now and into the foreseeable future.
  23. I am not familiar with the details of the case, so I'm not commenting at all on this specific incident. My comment is directed solely to the union's commentary of "well don't send us on mental-health calls, then."
