  1. Nobody asked you, Sally. Fuck off back to the Big 12 thread.
  2. I don't disagree with your doom scenario (after all, having a shitty home slate + no post season would be terrible for fans and support). But I gotta push back on the rest of your comment. We lost three games and are still in the race. UVA, BYU, and Duke have a shot. Multiple SEC and B1G teams are locks for big games in the CFP. That is great for the sport as a whole. If this was 2011, our season would have been on life support after the OSU loss. It would have been completely dead after losing to Florida. So many more fans are still engaged in December, it's amazing. And there are certainly negative side effects too, which you have pointed out. But I think the CFP is a net-positive for the sport.
  3. Still not worth dealing with Bonnie Thompson's bullshit.
  4. They also don't want to split their TV / CFP money with the rest of a conference. Notre Dame and Ohio State both earned $20 million from the CFP last season. Ohio State split it's money with the rest of the B1G and received roughly $1.1 million as its share. Notre Dame split it with no one and kept all $20 million.
  5. Live look at CTJ learning how the rest of us live:
  6. Elko gives me big "post-Sopranos Gandolfini" vibes. Not even joking, dude needs to start looking after himself or he's going to end up the same way.
  7. I’m talking about the “threw trash at babies” type comments. I didn’t see a single A&M fan get hassled in any way shape or form. The “worst” that happened was the standard chants and shit. They are giant crybabies who have to pretend we’re monsters so they can stoke their moral outrage and sense of superiority. I didn’t mind the mariachi band but the variety show thing does get tired.
  8. Holy shit, the absolute fiction in those threads. They really are a cult- can’t even accurately perceive reality.
  9. I was bellowing “POOOOR AGGIES” at the top of my lungs all the way down the concourse and outside Gate 8. I still can’t talk this morning.
  10. The bitching in this thread is wild. Sark isn’t perfect but he is more than good enough to steer the ship until the perfect coach comes along. I just don’t know who would be better. Day has big pedophile energy and Smart is a whiny little bitch. Every other coach would be a lateral move at best.
  11. I'm not shocked that Thompson threw a bunch of TDs. I'm shocked that Helobious made a factually accurate statement.
  12. I'm shocked. You're right. Thompson threw 6 TDs and rushed for 1 more against KU in 2021. Don't know if I can make sense of the world now.
  13. Agreed. He's trying to do too much and doesn't have the speed to try to do two jobs at once. That's always been a problem for Taaffe and you really only saw it go away when he had another AA / Thorpe award type in the backfield with him. Guilbeau has struggled at CB and Derek Williams just isn't the same since he came back from injury. Littleton will be a stud, but he's too young right now. At the moment, I'm pointing the finger at Akina. It's not just that these guys don't look ready to play, it's schematic as well. The DB's are out of position and their "attitude" (on their heels or on their toes) is usually wrong for the context.
  14. Moore to pure LB and Guilbeau to CB were both moves requested / demanded by the players in order to help their draft stock. Both guys should have stayed where they were (edge / nickel). I get that our pitch in recruiting is that we'll get them ready for the NFL, but you have to evaluate your players accurately. Putting a guy in a position he can't handle is going to have the opposite of the desired effect for the draft. There just needs to be an attitude shift from the staff. You can be player-led when you have guys like Rojo, Whittington, or Barron in the locker room. We just don't have a Rojo this year.
  15. Well… I do like memes.
  16. Im a hard NO to all of that so thanks for the heads up
  17. Goddamn. I go to trial for two weeks, come back, and you motherfuckers have added more than 80 pages to this thread? Is there any reason to go back and try to read through all of it?
  18. His FCS years may not count, depending on how the courts rule
  19. I've been pretty critical of Guilbeau, but watching some of the all-22 I'm now starting to see that the problem is bigger than him. Derek Williams cannot QB the secondary like Taaffe and he seems to have lost some of his situational awareness. Manny is awesome, but he also seems to thrive on an island. Littleton is a true freshman and is doing great with that context in mind, but he can't lead the DBs. I think Guilbeau is the veteran DB most likely to be tapped as leader when Taaffe and McDonald are out, and he is not fit for that job. He both tries to do too much and also doesn't do enough. Filsaime is kind of in the same boat when he's in. But Guilbeau is not as big of a liability as he seems. With Taaffe back to run the secondary, I think we see improved play across the board. If he still sucks, then I think you have to pivot to someone like Phillips and hope for the best.
  20. I assume this guy was an inexpensive lottery ticket that you take and hope he pays out. Plus Minnesota knows how to scout TEs and this guy was a multisport athlete. Seems like a decent take. Could be bread, but I understand the logic of taking recruits like this.
