  1. After reading your graduate thesis on the Arkansas "rivalry" on VolleyTalk, this might be shortest post you type today.
  2. Uh yup. Losing to Texas with no Mateer would have been a total mulligan game for BV, with a whole year of Gooner fans telling us they would have beaten the brakes off of Texas if their guy got to play, blah blah blah, wait until next year. BV's job is a lot safer Saturday night than it is now, when you peek ahead at their schedule. Upcoming DCs are going to watch that tape on repeat and try to replicate how we beat them, and if/when BV is out of a job in December, you can go ahead and point to October 11, 2025 as to why. Losing 3 of 4 to Texas, in the way they have (0, 3, 6 points scored) is going to be the reason, but at least with a backup QB in last Saturday, that game becomes a lot less of a black mark on BV's personnel file and more of a "well if this happened, we win" type of game.
  3. You're gonna get this site shut down for using woke phrases like that
  4. How unsurprising. The compact puts the entire onus on the school meeting the demands (which will invariably change as time goes on), with the government dictating all of the terms of the agreement or withholding the funds. UT is just priming itself to be MAGA's bitch.
  5. And with how many teams are in the B1G, if you can avoid hitting all 3 of Ohio State/Oregon/USC, it is really hard to fuck up a 9-3/10-2 season. Mostly because Cignetti also schedules OOC like crap for the next 4 years and doesn't play a P4 OOC opponent until 2030/31 (ND) 2026 - UNT, Howard, WKU 2027 - Kennesaw State, Indiana State, UMass 2028 - Austin Peay, Eastern Michigan, Miami Ohio 2029 - Ball State, Eastern Illinois, WKU
  6. Not for nothing, but 50% of the last 16 games have hit at least 56 points, with 3 games hitting or exceeding 78 points The smallest total in the last 16 games is 30 and that is the only game that didn't hit at least 40. It is a pretty high scoring series.
  7. Yeah and Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Tom Cotton, JD Vance, et al all went to elite private schools like Harvard and Yale and have done nothing but attack and denigrate them. There is no loyalty to any institution in the quest for power.
  8. He's 64 years old already. He is 17-2 at INDIANA (who has a historical winning percentage of .421) with a CFP appearance and on the verge of a second. I don't think there's an "inevitable stumble" that is going to get him shitcanned, when he could and likely would just retire. This guy was on the NCST staff and he coached Phillip Rivers and recruited Russell Wilson, and then went off to the Nick Saban coaching factory for 4 seasons, including recruiting Julio Jones, D'Onta Hightower and Mark Ingram. And for some reason, he was never talked about as a HC candidate. Dude bet on himself and took a lower level job (IUP) so he could be a head coach instead of waiting for some P4 program to finally take a chance on him. All he's done since then: 53-17 at IUP 14-9 at Elon 52-9 at JMU 17-2 at Indiana Seems primed for a good run of 9/10+ win seasons until he's ready to hang it up. Even if he sprinkles in a 7-6/8-4 season or two or three, that is still wildly above Indiana's historical norm.
  9. She looked really dang good during those games in Canada I am super stoked about this team - Rori and Preston are a dynamic PG duo - Rori brings the defense (Preston is no slouch there) and Preston brings the offense off the bench I expect a big jump for Jordan Lee this year Booker is Booker - she gonna cook. And Crump looks like she can actually give Booker some rest every game The 4s look good too - Sidberry, Judd and Carlton looked really good in Canada Oldacre/Cunningham is a great inside duo I have no idea what we will get out of Prenter (the freshman from Ireland) and Hose (the Swede transfer) but the main 10 players looked extremely good. It's experience all over the place - Rori, Judd and Oldacre have been playing college ball for 4 years (and the one year Rori was a "coach"), Booker, Sidberry and Cunningham are juniors and we have 3 sophomores on the floor who saw significant time on a Final Four team in Lee, Preston and Carlton
  10. Rich people get preferential treatment????? f

    Cool We lost 4-2 to Georgia lol
  12. It’s probably Carlton
  13. Even if he hangs on for dear life like Mack Brown from 2010-2013, he will still be an IU legend.
  14. Harlot
  15. In our opening rounds of the NCAAT, we had 3 aces against aggy and 7 against SMU. Emma went crazy with 4 against SMU 2 more against Tennessee and 5 against Stanford. Madi and Asjia had 2 each against Stanford. Then the real fun started - 11 against Wisconsin, including 6 by Madi, and 12 against Nebraska, with 5 from Asjia And then the meme was born
  16. Oh yeah I see it at the gym and I’m like, why?
  17. UNC and FSU will soon be joining LIV College Football.
  18. Hiked up joggers are not capris.
  19. So will Abbott and Patrick and Paxton. And with that, a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Texas. They had banished the awful wokeism forever, because it was too liberal.

    God's will?
  21. Mike Elko, YOU are a Pedo State Nittany Lion
  22. Meanwhile, Texas will have already played them in Austin, Athens and Atlanta by the time the new schedule format rolls out for 2026 and beyond. Hell, we played them as many times as aggy has in-conference (1) prior to us even joining the SEC. It's ridiculous.
  23. Feel like a jump float that has a ton of drop is what causes the most aces.
  24. In the grand scheme of things, we have been hard to beat because: We only give our opponents just under 2 free points per set on a service error (1.94) We only give our opponents just over 2 free points per set on a non-block error (2.08) We give our opponents 2.5 points per set on a point scored off their block We gain 1.22 points per set off acing our opponent On the flip side: Our opponents are giving us 2.3 free points per set on a service error We are getting 3.29 free points per set on non-block errors by our opponents We are getting 2.01 points per set off our block Our opponents gain 1.0 point per set by acing us Texas gives away 7.52 points and gets back 8.82 points. And with us hitting .128 points higher than our opponents, that is why we are still unbeaten.
