  1. No more than a preseason game diminished a NFL teams brand. If Notre Dame made this an established policy I might admire it...maybe. But not as a temper tantrum for their 2 loss team that didn't beat anybody. There are clearly rules for Bama and rules for everybody else.
  2. I think what frustrated me most about 2023 FSU was that if they had beaten Georgia they would have been unbeaten and just defeated one of the best teams in the country. They could have made a play for a split championship for the last time before the 12 team playoff. Somebody would have given it to them. And they just...didn't give a shit and didn't bother and just got slaughtered. Pretty pathetic. They had a chance to do something special.
  3. I don't disagree except I just don't think we had a good enough season to be indignant at being left out. Disappointed? Sure. But this wasn't some legendary Texas team that got screwed. This was a pretty good Texas team that probably wasn't going to win the national title anyway.
  4. I have talked to former UT players who assured me they all want to play and win far more than we want to watch them play and win. I believe it. But I understand business decisions.
  5. Yeah. I used to think it mattered on some level but I think history has demonstrated it really doesn't. Which is unfortunate. I used to get pretty fired up for every random Bowl Game. That 1994 Sun Bowl was awesome, we all lost our shit we were so glad to win and Priest Holmes was awesome. But those days are over.
  6. Yes. It does nothing. It only makes us feel better. I do care though. I want us to win. I probably shouldn't but I do. I think the best you could say is it is good propaganda in a sport still dominated by vibes.
  7. Yep. If you want to win the national title you cannot lose games. Especially 3. Yes some shittier teams made it ahead of us but we don't have much room to complain. We could have easily lost a few more as well.
  8. Can't wrap everybody in bubble wrap. Same shit could happen in practice or any scrimmage.
  9. Disagree on Arch. Arch needs to play games. He is a first year starter and still has a ways to go.
  10. Yes. I also want a championship and a trophy. Sure it might be a giant Cheeze-it but damn it it's a trophy. I realize this is irrational but I cannot help it.
  11. We won't talk about how FSU's great bowl game went.
  12. Well that one is less funny to me for some reason.
  13. I wish I had your optimism. We might get a nice 2018-ish result if the election is fair. I just don't see a massive wave sweeping this away. It is so entrenched both culturally and institutionally at this point.
  14. Very much in favor of it...to the right people.

    Fair. I may have misremembered how things were. I recall 30+ point beat downs from the late 90s.
