Texas O-line talk
If refs don't call hits on QBs that are already sliding, they are begging for fights. No self-respecting OL is going to sit around and let guys take free shots at their QB. This was an officiating failure.

Tell me about ou
I hope and can half-believe that we are witnessing phase I of our breaking OU. Not broken as badly as UNL, but dropped from their perch nevertheless. The 12-team format rewards being the big dog of a conference. OU's following us to the SEC means that their days of being "the" big dog in Big8/Big12 are definitively over. They have a significant fan base and non-zero state commercial support for NIL, but they are unlikely to match what we can now do for D/FW guys and other contested potential players. They have been living on "Sooner Magic," the mystical power of pre-NIL cheating and/or dominating MBTF/FUPM squads (followed by the dark days of Strong Tom). They don't have an unfair advantage or a functionally retarded opposing coach to help them. Their recipe for success, regardless of their own perception of it, has been based on bullying, cheating, and our beta behavior at the CB. Now they have tier 2 NIL, a blue blood reputation, proximity to Dallas, and the prestige of being in a P2 conference. But now they can be bullied, and our having a down year won't give them freebie shots at national prominence, should it occur: Bama, UGA, etc. are all going to be elbowing for the front of the conference position. A great coach could still lift them to great seasons. But they may not be fortunate enough to find a great many great coaches, and I am here for it. I hope/think they may be headed toward post-cheating A&M-level long-term success.

Oh no harm no foul, I just couldn't pass on the cheap bilingual pun I used to point out the spelling issue. None of us has time to proof our posts to perfection.

Total defense is not a statistically penetrating tool. Any model can lead one astray, but total D is particularly unhelpful. ESPN FPI defensive efficiency, e.g., rates OU #10. Not elite, but not a failing grade. Or, you could use statistics that are more affected by their bad offense, like total D. You do you.

SEC Catch-all Thread
Or give each team 3 injury times-out. One is expended for each injury stoppage. After that, conventional TOs are automatically expended. When those are exhausted, players who cause a stoppage are out for X minutes of game clock.

Surly dress code talk not going away A virtual place that openly defies conventional rules of decorum yet populated by defenders of the dress code of their youth Yesterday's mores regarding dress are fading away. I have an annual meeting which features occasions for black tie and for formal dress, but other than that, I rarely wear a suit and tie, let alone tux or tailcoat. In my circle, people wear scrubs to work even when that work is in an office setting.

He basically works for them. They are standing en masse to wave a towel overhead as their employee processes up a hotel meeting room aisle before giving them 20 minutes of platitudes.- Realignment talk not going away
SEC and B1G don't need to rush into project Rudy. They don't need to give up equity for whatever startup capital they need for a new enterprise. Prestige Worldwide is already here in its infantile form, and there will almost certainly be at least one more significant development. There is a 12-team playoff that every serious expert expects to be at least 50% populated by just 2 conferences going forward. If those two conferences don't work out a deal that reasonably maximizes outcomes for their combined "big boys," expect the informal and off-the-record conversations among said big boys to heat up. Notre Dame is a great master of the cabal because it has no football conference meeting rules and virtually no reporting requirements of conversations.- TX/ou thread of hate filled Haiku - 2024

Am I the only one who thinks those who write for a living should demonstrate an understanding of the difference between core and corps? Text messages and bulletin board posts are one thing, but paid and published content shouldn't appear to have been written by Aggies. - Tell Me About Texas a&m
