  1. What makes college football fun is the variety. Sure there are big money schools and small schools. In the moment some people may bitch about having some of their season ticket spend be for a game against UMass or Central Michigan, but at the end of the day the "historical success" was largely built off of playing those schools regularly. The viewing numbers go through the roof when Bama is struggling against a Louisiana Lafayette in the 4th quarter, or Texas is fumbling over its dick against UTEP. People love upsets. If Ohio State played nothing but bluebloods every year, they would have a slightly above .500 record, and most schools would have less.
  2. Of all of the dumb shit I have ever heard of aggy doing, this may be on mount rushmore.
  3. It could just be a scenario where they called a route right into coverage. It happens. I did like this video, I think this guy does a really good job. Nice to see his assessment that Arch snapped out of it and was a different player. I could feel that in the game, I hope he just doesn't have to work into that every game.
  4. This is clearly an offensive play caller with a feel for his team..
  5. Listening to some of the talk shows like Pate and Pickell pick the Florida game this week has been really entertaining. It is clear that the lasting impression of both of them is the UTEP game. Pate picked Florida to win, and Pickell clearly thinks Arch sucks. I look forward to Arch coming out and playing a quality game and then watching all of these guys talk about how they knew Arch would bounce back and that this score was inevitable.
  6. Man I feel bad for Napier at this point. Put him out of his misery already. This feels like when the reporter asked Charlie Strong what it means for his career at Texas when he lost to Kansas and he started to tear up.
  7. Technically it would be UCLA, but in a friendly pillow fight sort of way.
  8. I would be very gruntled if we hung 40 on Florida in any scenario, I think it will be lower scoring than that. 27 - 10 or something like that.
  9. I completely forgot that guy ever played for Texas. Talk about an epic bust.
  10. Wasn't Grantham pretty well known for being a raging asshole throughout his career or am I thinking about someone else? Sign my up for that career arc all day long. Come to the rescue of embattled coaches who are about to be fired. Sign a 3 year deal to go there. Get fired mid season. Rinse repeat.
  11. Starts off slow but gets pretty good.
  12. 100% agree with this. Lashlee should hold out for at least a tier 2 school in the P2. He may actually be a quality replacement candidate for Riley if it comes to that, or maybe Ole Miss if Kiffen leaves. Traylor could be the guy at SMU if Lashlee does leave. I anticipate Arkansas to go with Occam's razor and just hire Petrino. Since he is an in house candidate, they will get him cheaper. I think Florida ends up with Fisch at the end of the day, who is a quality coach but he isn't going to have recruits excited. Jim McElwain 2.0.
  13. Pretty stark contrast to how Sark has managed the roster so far this season. In writing this, it kind of dawned on me that he may be managing his roster the same as he manages recruiting cycles. With a long term approach and an eye towards closing strong and not getting too over his skis too early in the season. Contrast that with Venables at OU who is running Mateer 20 times against G5 schools, and with Elko who has a very tight rotation through non conference play. I would imagine that rotation really tightens against quality teams, which means we will likely see both OU and A&M fade as the season goes on.
  14. It is funny because Kelly couldn't get resources to keep his assistant coaches from being poached away. He left and went to LSU who he thought had more resources. Now Freeman is swimming in resources. Maybe it was just that Kelly was an asshole who nobody likes. He seems to be running into similar problems at LSU.
  15. Your problem is that we have a couple of wins over top 10 teams on the road in the last few of years, sorry to burst your masturbatory bubble.
  16. I didn't see much of Bama Georgia outside of highlights, but Oregon looks to me to be the best team right now. Dante Moore is far better than I thought he would be, and their defense is salty. The Auburn TAMU game was so laughably bad, I can't wait for Liucci to bathe in the glory of this victory all week and work the fanbase up into believing this is a playoff team. Jackson Arnold is such a washout of a QB.
  17. I would be going after the Tulane HC, someone from the Oregon staff, but my whale would be D'anton Lynn.
  18. "He's a guy who really got it laid in to him in Dallas. I mean they had like 15 guys in a conga line just balls deep in the kid. It changed him. It made him hungrier, and it has also made him really popular in the locker room" Venables said.
  19. Quite the reveal to say they are switching pants.
  20. It's cute how they think the outcomes would have been any different.
  21. because you have to be in the spirit world to run it.
  22. I am still waiting for the commemorative cups and t-shirts to roll out.
  23. You could kind of see Arch work his way out of the funk in the early part of that game last week. His first couple of completions were still low or off target and his receivers had to go to the ground to catch or pick it up off their shoelaces. Once they made a couple of plays for him, he suddenly started dropping dimes all over the field. Hopefully he doesn't have to work into that every week, but there was a noticeable difference as the game went on.
