what's the record for # of outputs for a bowl game (portals and NFL declarations included). We have to be approaching it. I'm sure lot of conclusions will be made, good or bad, about the game performance though 😀

It's a football game against Michigan. He's going to play, as he should. The point of being a football player is to play football.

Wrong. 

The point is to win a championship. This game is not involved with winning a championship. It is an opportuntiy to get hurt in a game that means nothing. 

Playing Arch in this game is on the same tier of hubris as not cancelling our difficult OOC games. We are actively doing things that hurt our ability to achieve what should be our primary goal.

Caldwell should starts?

I'd love to see Sark and team treat this as the most fun game a team can play in.   Big audience on NYE, against a blue blood (in-name), and the last true football before next spring.   Use as many trick / gadget plays as possible.   Let players draw up some plays.  Let Niblett play some QB.  Put Simmons at RB for a few plays if he wants to.  Let Hero return a few kicks.   If he can work in some elements of "we started playing the game because it is just fun" alongside making sure no one gets hurt, that could be fun to watch.

How many people are in Notre dames team?   That’s the record for opt outs. We aren’t close

Why do you guys even pay attention to the sport? It sounds completely joyless for you. 

Also, why single out Arch as you bawl all over yourselves and rub your twats? Just make the spineless argument you really want to make and tell us all that Texas should have bitched out of this game completely. Maybe wrap all the returnees in bubble wrap until the Ohio State game and then y’all can pound your fists angrily and demand repercussions with the staff when the players all look rusty and out of sync as well.

Dead wrong. Dead FUCKING wrong.  So many reasons that it's not even worth the time to list them all.

i tried this 2 weeks ago and the firestorm of negative rep led by the self-endowed was 2nd only to my original take to opt of out the game entirely

however, i had not thought of and was re-educated on the problem of no one else on campus who needs development snaps

caldwell is gone after this game and no one else is here yet so arch it is

No judgement but it always blows my mind that fans don’t watch their favorite team because the game is not the Super Bowl. Surly elite of course. 
surly poor like me would watch Texas play Crockett high school and hope we beat the shit out of them. Football is football especially when it’s my team. 

No 6th Street or Wilcox on the game thread? Sign me the fuck up.

Shhhh. Let em cook 

 

this is the perfect game. It’s spring ball before spring. It’s developing the roster next year. It’s laying a training foundation of the off season.    It’s hey you ran routes like dog shit in Michigan so offseason we are gonna unfuck that before the season starts.  You don’t wanna wait until game one to find out we are fucked like we did this year and yes we found out game one that this season was gonna be fucked.

Also will be nice for Arch to game in-game reps with the WRs sticking around (bye Moore)

After this game it’s going to feel like 13 years before the next Texas game and a long nightmare.  I can’t wait i hate the off season that’s coming

Seeing Tech in the playoffs and us in a meaningless exhibtition, because our hubris kept us in a road OOC game that should have been shifted to a home game against a cake opponent, is joyless for me. The real question is, why isn't it joyless for you?

Of course we should be playing this exhibition game. The extra practices are crucial. QB is a unique and special position, and Arch should not be put at risk. An argument can be made that Colin Simmons should also not see the field. Everyone else should play.

As for your reference to next season's Ohio State game, that game still being on our schedule proves that some unhealthy blend of hubris & stupidity is driving our program leadership. It should be another cake game to get our players ready for the conference schedule next year, which looks to be rough.

A lot of you seem to value a wide variety of things other than championships.

You are apparently a “title-ist” as a fan. Titles or it sucks, right? That kind of shit is insufferable. 

I happen to love CFB in general. I like big games. I like bowl games. I like seeing stars play. 

Not having fun as a fan unless a title is won is the hubris of which you lament. Thinking that that should be so regular that it should be the only expectation is sad yet laughable. Good luck with it, though. We’re all excited to see your future Cassandrian posts in which you tell us you saw difficult game X loss coming and no one would listen.

Arch is a leader.  He’s not going to sit on the sidelines.

Like I said, a lot of you seem to value a wide variety of things other than championships. Fortunately for you, Sark and Del Conte agree with you.

I wish a home loss (it it happens) this coming September to Ohio State could feel mitigated to me by a triumphant Citrus Bowl victory over a ramshackle Michigan roster. I'm just not wired that way.
