  1. Have not read the whole thread so sorry if I'm not the first. I was struck by how odd it would have seemed back in the day to be told that Ohio State would play Mizzou in Arlington in December, and it would be called the Cotton Bowl.
  2. If we are hoping for the typical time as starter to be 2 years, it means that, on average, we only successfully recruit a future starter every two years. If starter-quality QBs line up to play for us and then move on because of the depth chart, I will be sorry but in a good way.
  3. If I schedule a surgery for someone and they end up choosing another surgeon after I've put in all that work, after they acted all interested in my work at our last visit, after I reserved time on my limited OR schedule for them, I usually go out of my way to lie about their family so as to ruin their family business. Because professional blah blah blah. Some people need to push back from the keyboard and take time to reflect on what they've chosen to defend. Really. Notice for Sooners and aggy who might have missed it: this post contains sarcasm.
  4. I love FrioAg00's (ag tag) contribution: He grades us B+, seems nonplussed. I suppose he's right-- we can't all have Elkworthy personnel, now, can we?
  5. The beauty of it is that of the bowls to trash aggy, it had to be the Armed Forces Bowl with the disrespect!
  6. Another head-to-head against Sark. There were rumors that this sitting SEC lineman would portal to tu, but The Elk beat them again!
  7. Elko notched an overwhelming recruiting victory, successfully retaining more than 10% of the blue-chip recruits committed to his school. At this rate, his rivals may have utterly failed to complete the destruction of aggy football for at least another month.
  8. When you put it that way, I guess you are right. His female relations probably deserve some rapey behavior, too; after all, we all know such things happen around big time athletes sometimes.
  9. This. I can believe that Sark pushed for a delay in signing to allow an in-home and an OV. I have trouble believing that Sark would add someone to the team merely because they looked good from afar.
  10. You guys are killing me. 25 26 -> 4 Edit: the Chicago song, for those unaware, refers to the time of circa 3:34 AM to 3:35 AM, not random numbers; it is "to" not "two."
  11. The inclusion of the word anagrammatic in his handle among aggies is pretty much pathognomonic for trollism. That word does not appear in either of the books in their library.
  12. They don't actually have to replace *all* or even almost all their losses. They could be significantly down and still be competitive to get within a few games of their running .500 two-year average.
  13. I don't believe in being a grammar nazi, but between he is the reciprocal error of him said. We write freely, but we did go to school.
  14. Employee status and caps would not undo NIL. NIL is the inevitable result of living in a market economy-- people are allowed to decide how to spend their money and to make deals with other people. As long as CFB is in demand, it will exist in some format. Compliance will be chasing a different list of concerns, but the world will keep turning, long after the NCAA has withered into irrelevance.
  15. There are numerous theories out there about what exactly led to Nebraska's downfall. What is decreasingly in doubt is whether they are going through a "down time" or whether they are past the point of no return. (Narrator: they passed it long ago.) Of all the places on earth a Husker fan should be talking football smack (if there are any), a Texas community is not on the list. Seriously. Next time someone from UNL is tempted to mock Texas football, he should try to remember how 12-year-olds sound when they think they have an insightful view that hadn't occurred to the adults in the room. Even if Nebraska fans are unable to resurrect the glory days of Husker football, it is not too late to be the fan base everyone thought you were before the anti-Texas pettiness became so widespread. Hook'em and welcome to those who have something worth reading to contribute.
  16. I think their bump is going to be a bit of a forgettable redneck baby bump.
  17. They not only are not going to make the field, they will be. fortunate to go bowling. They are getting creamed by the portal and will be in a first year with a new staff. They face Texas, Mizzou, LSU, ND, @UF, @Auburn, and @MSU. For them, those are all losable, and frankly most are not winnable Their last road win was in '21.
  18. Carry the "include FSU" to its logical conclusion. Imagine there is a "We are Marshall" type plane crash as teams are flying home from games on championship weekend. Should a "deserving" team be included even if all of the scholarship players and previous coaches would be watching from their eternal reward? FSU deserves nothing. The rubric spelled this situation out, was published and uncontested prior to the injury, and was followed. FSU is just one more team that won't be hoisting the trophy in January, and fortunately we are not wasting a playoff spot to see that embarrassingly proven (and all the while taking a chance that the team that would if included have won out sat at home).
  19. Leach (RIP) figured it out. The wiring in the pre-motor-planning cortex is not generally susceptible to coaching an inaccurate passer into being a consistently accurate one.
  20. You are right. "Resiliency" has been insidiously creeping into English usage since those hippies started throwing it around in the 1600s. Really, the whole transition from Latin to English among the educated in the 1500s and 1600s was a mistake. People should just use resiliens.
