  1. Part of me thinks they were trying to be more aggressive against an overmatched opponent. We had 17 service errors against Bama, with 6 of them in the first set and then 11 over the next 3 sets. We dialed it back a little to a more manageable 3.6 per set (still not great). We had 12 in a 5 setter against Tennessee (2.4 per set) It's not like we forgot how to serve - we had 3 against Creighton (1 per set), 4 against Wisconsin (1.33 per set), 8 against Stanford (1.6 per set), 4 against Louisville (0.8 per set), 2 against ASU (.67 per set), 7 against TCU (2.33 per set), 6 against Baylor (2 per set). Texas averages 1.94 serving errors per set, and our last 2 matches inflated that quite a bit (12 and 17). Only 2 matches we have hit double digit serving errors - the last 2. Team service errors is not an NCAA stat, but just browsing some of the top 10: Nebraska - 2.01 (109 in 54 sets) Texas - 1.94 (97 in 50 sets) Louisville - 1.96 (114 in 58 sets) Pitt - 2.55 (156 in 61 sets) Kentucky - 2.5 (130 in 52 sets) Stanford - 3.32 (196 in 59 sets) Wisconsin - 2.88 (130 in 45 sets) ASU - 2.71 (148 in 55 sets)
  2. My question would be - what the fuck else is PSU’s NIL money going towards, besides volleyball and wrestling? And those are pretty cheap NIL sports Aggy still spends NIL money on VB, baseball, softball, T&F, MBB
  3. Nobody thought they'd go to Auburn and lose last year either They always aggy it up
  4. They can just knock off the farce and give Kirby his own yellow flags to throw already.
  5. I don't understand the logic in leaving ND for PSU. ND has: National alumni base of rich Catholics Their own special TV deal Easiest path to the playoffs - 10-2/9-3 gonna get you in every year, without having to face Oregon/Ohio State/Indiana in your own conference and no CCG to worry about Top 5 program in terms of financial value They'll never get a bye, but they don't play a CCG, so it's a wash I'd stay at ND, easily - ignoring my hatred for Pedo State, if I was Freeman, I wouldn't leave for any program but Ohio State. Because they just keep chugging along being elite.
  6. Yep, they beat a ND team that was breaking in a new QB and had an insanely easy SEC schedule so far - suck ass Auburn (one score win), hapless MSST and about-to-fire-Napier Florida, all at home. 4 of their next 5 SEC games are on the road (Fayetteville, Baton Rouge, Columbia MO, Austin) and 3 of those 4 are ranked teams. ND was the last ranked team they played, a month ago. The vaunted SEC grind is here for the aggys. Will they meet the moment or bumble their way to 8-4?
  7. Tomorrow's traffic cone is Arkansas (5-12, 1-5 SEC) They opened the SEC season with a 3-2 win over Ole Miss and then lost 5 straight - 1-3, 0-3, 0-3, 1-3, 1-3. Which included a string of dregs in Vandy, Georgia and South Carolina, where they managed to win 2 sets They are hitting .210 as a team, have twice as many errors as aces (75 aces / 151 errors) and average 1.92 blocks per set. Finally, a team we should out block easily! We are up to .304 as a team (.327 in SEC play), a respectable 64 aces to 97 errors and 2.01 blocks per set (boy that just keeps creeping down, at what point do we fall under 2 bps?)
  8. Also stupid James Franklin against top 25 teams - 15-28 at PSU Marcus Freeman - 14-7 James Franklin fucking wishes.
  9. Bruce Pearl is headed to TNT to do guest appearances on a college basketball show with Jalen Rose, Jamal Mashburn and Chris Webber And Steven lost his first (unofficial) exhibition game to OKST in OT 78 FTs. Refs were in midseason form with bullshit lol
  10. He's around 30th in pay as well - he's either going to: - Get a fat Jimbo contract if he takes aggy to the CFP, built on the back of an easy SEC schedule (hey I remember those accusations just a year ago!) - Get a huge raise and gets to go back to his home region, with a better NIL program. Elko hasn't been this happy since they he signed a deal with every AYCE restaurant in BCS
  11. Dude has 14 ranked wins in 3+ seasons so far And I think his signature win is either #4 Clemson in year 1 or #2 Georgia last year. #4 Penn State was just bigger because it was the semifinals, but he got a top 5 win in year 1 against a CFP dominant Clemson squad and took out a 2-time winner in Georgia in the playoffs last year. Not sure you can call beating James Franklin a "signature win" because he's such a choker against top 10 teams
  12. Kentucky beat Auburn 3-1 Florida beat Tennessee in Knoxville, 3-2
  13. Love the info!
  14. The Milk Men will be the first to go when Aggy joins the compact
  15. Don't forget a very unpredictable and unbearable climate and subsequently expensive ass homeowners insurance, if the companies even continue to offer them for Texas residents. So.... Florida.
  16. Which is wild, because after we embarrassed them, they picked themselves up and won 4 straight to end the year, including 2 ranked squads and their rival (who sucked, but still), and their bowl game
  17. Man, a lot of people really disliked this short passing game offense the last 2 years with Quinn and it might just be the offense we are best suited for, regardless of QB. Even if Arch has a much better deep ball than Quinn, the OU game is exhibit A that we need to stick with it if its working.
  18. Literally just found mine in a closet I was cleaning out today and was like
  19. CU, for sure. Boulder + Denver
  20. I would totally understand Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State but Florida? The guy has never coached outside of the Rust Belt. Ohio and Indiana only (Ohio State, Kent State, Purdue, Cincy, ND)
  21. Is that the Tom Herman pee chart?
  22. This looks exactly like when Jimbo got fired Aggy beat the shit out of MSST, and got fired going into their bye week Florida plays MSST, and then goes into a bye week
  23. Yep. New coach, tons of new players, new system. Though I think the overall knock on Miller is he didn't schedule very tough in the non-conf, even at Xavier and Arizona.
  24. Also how I feel. He won’t bc he’s boxed in by the show and also fans won’t be happy period. He’d rather just die
