  1. It was on ESPN+. Awful fucking app by the way.
  2. In the moment I understand how everyone was feeling. It does appear that the fanbase has backed off of any prolonged shit talking outside of the few potatoes in the Arch thread, which is a good thing. I am going into this game with lowered expectations. If we score 30+ then I am fine. If we get into the 40s I will be optimistic that we are getting a few things clicking.
  3. Are you implying that Sark used bagmen illegally?
  4. I think they are going to have to settle for a G5 coach who is desperate to get to the P2 level. No top coaching candidate is going to touch this job with a 10 foot pole.
  5. Eh.. I would say no. OU is still trying like hell to be great but playing with a short stack. I think UCLA has kind of given up and is just there for the paycheck.
  6. I am definitely not liking the Guilbeau experiment. Problem is, I don't think that Kobe Black represents a huge upgrade in the speed department on the outside. Littleton to me seems like a perfect fit in the slot. He is rangy and great at coming up and tackling in run support and on underneath routes.
  7. That is the sense I get when I hear Peyton get asked questions about Arch. Its more of a "see you at Christmas" kind of relationship than a grooming to be the next great QB.
  8. Gosh.. I wonder which part of the season we are in..
  9. You want to bench all of our starting defense in a 10-3 ballgame?
  10. This is so dumb it feels like a schtick. But your schtick is so dumb.
  11. They got us this week..
  12. The first throw of the game he threw a swing pass out to the back and hit him perfectly in stride. The pass had some touch on it and he seemed loose. Every other pass from that point on was fired as hard as he could and he missed wildly. If I am Sark/Milwee, I am telling him this week that if he fires a ball as hard as he can he is getting benched. There is zero margin for error when you are throwing like that. Last year he was lobbing balls downfield and guys were running under them. This year he is throwing them all on a line, even deep balls.
  13. I knew it was over at B1G media day during his opening remarks last year.
  14. I am officially hitting the panic button. Why have Manning's fundamentals completely broken down? He missed a check down to Simon late in the game by firing it 3 yards over his head as hard as he could, and he was five yards away. I am completely baffled as to wtf is going on. Is it the yips? He was way more accurate last season. Why is he throwing lasers every play? This is shit that may not get fixed this season. I found myself wondering if Arch should sit down at the half. I have seen bad football, but that is the worst half of football by a Texas QB I have ever seen.
  15. I was in an airport yesterday coming home and watching some aggie dude in the boarding area wear a zip up hoodie with "Texas Aggies" as uncomfortably large as possible on the front. Then it hit me. In yet another classic aggie maneuver, they have chosen to boil the ocean of trying to unbrand the largest brand name in college sports and then rebrand it for themselves. When people say "Texas", there are zero people in the world who think about the Aggies. Their brand is "A&M". Not Texas A&M...just "A&M". When people say that, they immediately know who is being referred to. It is not a bad brand at all, but it is not what they are pouring money into. They missed their window to call themselves Texas State, which would have been a very smart rebranding for them. But now, they are continuing to waste money and look stupid by fucking the chicken of "Texas Aggies". A big rule of technology sales is to never reply to your competitor by name, because they have spent billions building up their brand to mean something. By not using their name, you strip them of all of that marketing power. But true to form, our competitor has just emblazoned our brand across their chests. Never change aggy.
  16. That background really brings it all home. Nothing says icy whites like an airstrip on a hot day and assorted shrubbery.
  17. Wisconsin is like bad bad. Bama should handle that one fairly comfortably. I expect OU to put on a show at Temple and curb stomp them so that they can divert all the powerball budget to NIL when the gooners get super excited that this is their year. I think Tennessee is fools gold again. If you remember last year, the beat all of their weak opponents by 50+, but got shut down against quality defenses. I think the same thing happens this year. I have a sneaky suspicion that SCar is going to beat Vandy. I don't really know why, but that is what I am going with.
  18. I've seen worse.
  19. Quality effort this week..
  20. This. His fumbles are coming after he has gained 6-8 yards weaving through the middle of the defense. It is very sad.
  21. In fairness, you could say that about literally every offensive system.
  22. Are you the spoon or the coffee?
  23. Yes, Cooper’s team won and he had a big game.
