  1. Your land is given to whoever beats you each time you lose. The Aggies have taken land since losing their initial allotment. ND lost what it had when playing NIU and hasn't claimed enough new land yet I guess. If you beat people who already have a loss, they may have nothing to forfeit to you.
  2. Dominate comes from the Latin adjectival dominatus (from the deponent dominor), and in addition to its most common usage as a verb, it can also be used in its more etymologically congruent sense of what we more commonly term dominant. Be careful correcting grammar or diction, lest you be corrected.
  3. UGA, MSST, Texum
  4. I thought it was started after the 2020 season and before PK coached a down of D at Texas. I don't know/remember what the original title was. Those who expected him to field a D worthy of the Texas name in his first season and before NIL had a chance to overcome the Baggins clan might not have been entirely rational in their criticisms and/or expectations.
  5. Back when things didn't count, what with their being an all-male millaterry colludge.
  6. That's fair. I like: A field that includes the top 10-- no legit claimant to the NC should be left out. A reward for winning the conference (the bye is a great reward IMO) A chance for at least one Cinderella (the 5th conference champ is a good choice IMO) Not so many teams that the importance of excellence in the regular season is diminished In short, I like the 12-team field. But I understand that not everyone sees it my way.
  7. If you have 16 and give the top four a bye, you have 10 teams standing in the second round. 12 with byes basically is a 16-team format but kicking the bottom four teams out in recognition that they would never have won it.
  8. 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.
  9. He has 2 fewer wins than Indy, and he looks to be in a place with which he is not altogether familiar.
  10. 38-20 Texas 290 yards for UGA
  11. So let it be written, so let it be done
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. Hits the holes and the hoes equally hard, ammiright? Breaks long runs and girls' jaws? Or am I remembering the wrong guy?
  15. If my model produced this, I would throw my computer in a lake of fire and give up writing models.
  16. 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.
  17. He's a closet Texas fan
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. lol at Liberty owning Georgia
  21. Just try not to end up with the big gamey fish
  22. Some lawyer help me please: when can minors enter binding contracts?
