  1. He schtick Is terrible and makes him even worse.
  2. Those midnight tacos are paying off for Mata
  3. So Baylor should have lost 3 yards on the second down run and decides that a run on 3 rd down is the right call. Coaches and players are dense sometimes see Cincinnati last night.
  4. Ohio State fans may be the second biggest cult but they win things and demand performance. Some guy is getting a predictive 2025 National Championship tattoo on Joe Klatt's show. If this were aggy they would do it but would put 20 on it so that they could fill it in later.
  5. Must be a real blast talking about a rival program that's outperformed yours by leaps and bounds in many sports over the past 25 years, especially when Texas has achieved it with less of an investment.
  6. They suck all night at passing the ball and what does the coach or QB decide is a good idea. Hey let's take shot!
  7. They made that one look easy
  8. Cincinnati has had so many chances to turn them over and keeps sucking
  9. I feel the same way yet every time they are on TV and there is not a better game I root against them and want to see them humiliated.
  10. Just dropped it while rolling out
  11. That was unexpected
  12. Good thing it was 3rd and 18 and not 3rd and 17 vs Todd Orlando.
  13. Looked, who said looked? Only thing implied is he looked like shit. Go back and read so you can understand what was said.
  14. To me, the advantage for Arch is that he's seen an elite rush come at him, and Sayin hasn't. As the video shows, the home crowd doesn't save you from it. Arch has seen elite game speed pinning its ears back and coming at him, and it won't be new to him, but it will be new to Sayin. Arch has made both bad throws and good throws knowing he's about to be hit, and he hasn't been rattled. Sayin, on the other hand, hasn't had to do so, and no one knows how he'll react. We all hated what happened here, but the sequence in the video will pay dividends for us on Saturday. View the video at your own peril.
  15. Starting with the Alabama road trip, I began viewing other team site previews and score predictions. Alabama fans all had it being 20+ points and being over by the 3rd quarter, and their analysis was laughably simplistic because the goggles were so thick they could not see anything other than crimson. Michigan previews weren't confident, with many feeling it would take some luck to win the game because it couldn't be done straight up. Ohio folks have been a mix; Tim May is a homer and aggy, so he blows smoke up his own ass. Most try to be somewhat fair, within the realm of what their fan base will allow. They'll state what they feel are the unknowns or Texas advantages but then say they have better talent and back it up with examples that make OH look very good. OH fans strike me as thin-skinned, like aggy but not at their level, and OH actually wins things. Even the article you posted here has the same OH journalistic tone - "I must say something nice to avoid getting the OH fans' panties in a wad". What fans from other teams need to understand is that, other than Bobby Burton (the ultimate pessimist) and his team, the local media here feels an obligation to shit on the team at all times and in every way they can. Therefore, when others come to see how we're doing, they think we are in worse shape than unbiased analysis would suggest. Texas fans are more confident than OH fans, who predict a 3-6 point margin, while Texas fans commonly predict a 10-point margin. To me, this is the most telling as to which team has the better chance of winning this game because fans are usually as unrealistic as Alabama fans, but these two fan bases have stated their realistic conclusions. Saturday will now write the story.
  16. Probably happened because in the preshow meeting they went down defensive position groups and picked Texas in all of them. They did mention Fornelli was going to let them have it for not breaking defense down by position.
  17. I did not know @satyanash had a cousin that is an aggy.
  18. I had never heard of Portnoy till today. The previews are talking about him and I heard he got banned. My first thought was to think what an aggy thing to do. Then they mentioned Ohio State 's AD and I thought, oh now it makes sense.
  19. Just watched 2005 game and that team fought through everything that came their way and won. Jacked for Saturday!
  20. Ohio State folks are convinced that Julian and Arch are in the same boat since even though Sayin has no experience, he isn't having to face a hostile crowd. Arch already got a taste of loud crowd conditions against aggy, but more importantly he had to come in versus Georgia under really hostile conditions where Georgia was just teeing off on the QB at that point in the game. So no, it's not the same. One has just enough experience to draw from, and the other has none. And let's hope we can bank on it for a win on Saturday.
