 The point spread isn't designed to be a true representation of how much better one team is than another. It is designed to attract an equal amount of money on both teams so that the sportsbooks are guaranteed a profit.

Jeebus, not this shit again. Thanks for your unique and original perspective, genius.

Your welcome, paystub.

No I'm not welcome because what you posted has nothing to do with what I said. I didn't say we are expected to win by 15, I said the spread is -15. Why you are assuming I don't understand how a spread works is beyond me.

is this legit? I mean, I have him on ignore, but ztejas seems at least 50 IQ points above Rocko.

 

You should have your own dumbass on ignore. But honestly I love how every thread gets derailed by people personally attacking me and how I'm 7 different random posters that I don't know on any given day.

Worry about the content. Not the username 🤘

The Oline and scheme gives Brooks a massive advantage. He basically runs through wide open holes before he gets touched. He was their 4th back for a reason.

 

I don't give a shit about OL and scheme, the mother fucker is averaging nearly 10 yards a pop. He was 4th team, because Anderson and Sermon are fucking bad ass players. Why aren't the other backs averaging 10 yards a rush if Brooks is so bad?

Best case scenario is that Texas cam ram the ball down Kansas' throat with Ingram/Watson and avoid too many QB runs/throws and he barely plays the second half with Shane getting a lot of the 3Q and part of the 4Q, and maybe even Rising gets 1-2 series of garbage time.

There. Now it sounds more believable.

Lmao I don’t know how you could have watched this whole season and consider this plausible

It will be a 2 score game into the 4th quarter

That's why it's called a best case scenario, it is on the outlier of variables involved in predictive reasoning and is a perfectly plausible scenario when you quantify all possibilities in a reasonable manner.  Plus it's Kansas.  The worst case scenario is actually losing the game, which I also think is quite plausible if they turn the ball over.

Run it down their throat in the second half AFTER we've built a big enough lead. A ball control, clock eating style of play limits the number of possessions per team which is always to the benefit of the heavy underdog

I agree with this entirely if Sam is very healthy and coaching staff feels confident about this issue.  The scenario I posted above was much more about a best case scenario within the context of protecting Sam from a higher chance of injury in game if it's a real concern.  If the team is confident about Sam, go ahead and go all out.

Thing is, a win over Kansas is critical for this over-achieving Texas team.

Win, and play for the B12 Championship, plus 9 regular season victories.

Lose, and play in a mid-level bowl at 8-4 - good season, considering recent past Texas seasons, but not playing for a championship.

If Ehlinger can go, play him.

Hopefully, the Horns get a big scoreboard early so we can play Shane and rest up Ssm.

Yes. Kenalog, Depo-Medrol, etc. Not the same kind of steroids guys use to add muscle mass.

I used to get Kenalog shots every 6 months or so for eczema.  Holy shit that stuff is a miracle drug.  I'm sure I have a 3rd hand ready to pop out of my armpit or something.

Best case scenario is Kansas forfeits.

Just now able to tune back in since the half, but he looked like his shoulder was affecting him in Qs 1&2.

Yeah, I don't know how anyone can argue he was 100%.  This is by far the most "off" he's been all year.  If he doesn't get stronger by next week we're in trouble better competition.

Vince wasn't his own goal line back.  He had Henry Shelton aka Big Beef Jerky

This. Guys like Cam Newton and Tim Tebow padded their stats with goal-line carries. VY didn't have to because we had Cedric Benson one year and Henry Melton the goalline bruiser the following season.
