    It's a large Texas forum. Every thread will largely be dominated by Texas posters. This is news? Not only that, it's funny in some form? My view is that the Big 12 will be fine as the 4th of 4 la

Loved watching Navy take it to a bitchy Cincinnati team today

Watched a bit of that game yesterday at a point when a Cincy player was talking shit to a Navy player which brought about I have from time to time when the Service Academies play other teams.

Do these players who talk shit to the Army, Navy, Air Force players realize that the player they are directing this tirade might have spent time in a training program with the intent to teach them how to incapacitate an opponent in hand to hand confrontations.

Yeah, those interactions took me from passively rooting for Navy to actively. I'm thinking, that Naval cadet is a potential Marine or SEAL. There's also the "stay calm under pressure" and "psychological warfare" aspect as well.

The Cincinnati guys flapping their gums looked more and more stupid as the game slipped away to the more disciplined team.

Yay more stupid overreactions. Cincy is a 7-5 team whose moderate success was entirely it’s all conference qb who didn’t play because he’s in the portal. Navy won 10 games and was at full strength. The outcome was already set lol.

Some fans hate the big 12 more than they love their own conference. It sucks being at the top

See my prior post about this. I did not see a game thread when I posted before. Had nothing to do with the Big XII wanting to see Cincinnati lose and was all about their lack of discipline.

I have no SEC pride, fuck all the other teams in the SEC, except Ole Miss, my brother went there.

Not sure where to put this. This thread is as good a spot as any I suppose.

Listening espn radio this morning while driving around. Heard the hosts comparing Minnesota and LSU from 2021-2024 or maybe 2025.

Winning percentage is similar.

Record against ranked teams is similar.

They had some other metrics that had the teams pretty even.

LSU, however, had been ranked 47 weeks or so in that time and Minnesota less than 10 weeks ranked.

Sure, LSU had a tougher conference schedule in that time, but the host said perception probably helped those ranking differences.

This might be a good place to insert this

Missouri is a great example of a school that got a big bump of perception simply for being in the SEC when you consider their ranking into November for basically beating no one with a pulse and a close lose to Vandy. Heck, Missouri actually went from 20th to 17th off a bye week after that Vandy loss and why? Beating UMass, Central Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, South Carolina by 9 at home, and beating Auburn by 6 in 2OT at Auburn?

The players generally blow it off, as they know who the fuck they are. In the Army/ UConn game, they cheapshotted Hellums( QB) and one of the OL( Senior who would be a camp body if not for other obligations this summer) flattens the culprit.

Coach Monkin pulled him and ripped his ass, but he did what any OL would have done for his QB. I also got the feeling it was for show and the OL had to receive props later on.

The academy players aren't generally chippy, but if it goes there, yeah, they're more than willing to oblige.
