  1. Well, UTSA only lost to us by 3 touchdowns. And they could beat a real team any year now. Probably deserve to be ranked.
  2. You left out the minor issue of the preventable player death on the MD resume.
  3. Healthy-seeming college-aged males dropping dead from cardiac issues unrelated to just having used cocaine when not involved in athletic activity shouldn’t happen. It warrants an exhaustive post-mortem.
  4. Humiliation is always bad. If TCU looked a little liked they belonged, they could have sold the loss as a net positive: playing for it all. But they didn't look like they played for it all; they looked like they showed up where someone was supposed to play for it all. No one except UGA is the NC, but there are over 100 FBS teams that are not the butt of all manner of jokes today and for years to come. In next year's (and many more) run up to the playoff selection, people won't be mocking Texas for ***ing the bed when we got our chance in '22.
  5. CCGs don't count as bowl games, but there was one circa 2005 that was even worse/ better.
  6. Pay that man to have a work from home job analyzing opponents' tape.
  7. K-State
  8. Think of all the money they'd save if they finally acknowledged that its cheaper to be bad at football without under-the-table moneybags and hold-my-beer coaching contracts.
  9. Hard to believe this UGA team was 5-7 last year. Wait. NVM. Haha The ball bounced TCU’s way a few times, but not tonight.
  10. If his shoulder is good enough to go now, I wouldn't sweat the future that much. Sometimes lightning hits the same tree again, but worrying about that only ruins a good day.
  11. This is true. Good college teams sometimes play bad games. But I still expect an SEC champ loaded with talent to be able to handle the B12 runner-up in a year in which OU and UT are both too down to make the CCG.
  12. TCU is good and has scoreboard on us, but let’s not make their squad this year out as world beaters in our backyard. They beat us, but only by one touchdown. The last 10-12 years have seen us lose a lot of games. They aren’t even the conference champs. You need a bit of luck to win it all, and they’ve had some. But they’re not champs of anything unless/ until they beat a Georgia team that is actually a conference champ, a defending national champ, undefeated, loaded with talent, etc.
  13. My question applies to Brooks, btw.
  14. So hernia or sports hernia? Generally speaking, two distinct entities.
  15. You have to think, however, from the POV of someone previously willing to have believed in Jimbo. Sadly.
  16. The future is undiscovered country, I know. The more I see clips of Arch (and of others around him discussing him), the more convinced I am that he is the secret ingredient. I think he will be starting by 2024 at the latest. We will win some playoff games behind this guy.
  17. He'll go star-shopping and plug the gaps on paper with a mix of bread and poison. There is enough talent on the team to win more games next year than he did this year. Rinse and repeat until the generally upward sloping BMD frustration index crosses the downward sloping cost of change function.
  18. First of all, the title of the thread still has roaches at -13.5. I would certainly take UGA and those points. Seriously, though: Ohio State is the only opponent to keep Georgia within single digits all year. There certainly exists a chance that Georgia will have an off game (cough, Kentucky, cough), but I rather doubt it. Georgia has blasted some decent teams already. Ceteris paribus, I think Georgia handles the frogroaches easily and covers with points left over.
  19. The cloak room is down the hall. Moose out front should have told you.
  20. If the conference were looking for the biggest FU they could manage, they would have us not play the RRS, instead having each of us play 5 road games to 4 home. Hopefully there is contractual language to prevent it. I agree that of all the "away" games, Houston would be best in terms of opportunity to play in front of a lot of friendlies.
  21. Should the tortilla talk not be on the Tech game thread?
  22. I personally don't see why we don't money-whip every player over 2 stars at every position and sort them out later. We'll pay so much they will walk on to our rugby team and practice separately without taking up a scholarship until we need to use the "internal portal" to put them on the football roster. After what we've seen of this recruiting cycle, I'm not sure we can trust Sark to get and maintain us the talent we need, sadly. Spring portal deadline is coming within the next year, and we have not had any pressers alerting us to the buzzer-beater strategies he plans to use to get someone before it's too late.
  23. OSU is going to be a big part of the crumbling of the big 12. Along with Baylor, they likely will fall the farthest. Small-town schools that have been semi-relevant nationally but appear unlikely to have enough success recruiting and retaining talent to matter much anymore. WVU went ahead and decided to fall into a toilet early. Tech hasn't been worth national FB attention since they fired Leach. KSU hasn't since Snyder was in his first century of coaching them. Kansas had like one year under Mangino. ISU's version of success is when people remember that they are an actual DI school that once almost beat their more famous yet eternally mediocre "rival," Iowa. The only current B12 school that will likely matter more than incidentally on the national stage after staying in the league is TCU. They are in a major metropolitan area, have a few alumni who can afford to help with some NIL, and are getting good exposure in the CFP a year before we dump this hole. Of course, getting exposed isn't always a good thing-- they'd better remember not to soil themselves against Michigan.
  24. I don’t get it. Does this guy know where the game is? Is he a troll I have failed to note?
