  1. The fact that the refs announced 70 as eligible is proof that the deception worked as intended.
  2. How it started: How it ended: "The final polluted drops of the Jimbo Fisher era swirled down the drain on Wednesday night." https://texags.com/s/56359/dreadful-season-ends-as-no-20-cowboys-defeat-depleted-aggies-31-23/5
  3. Inbred River Rivalry is my favorite.
  4. Losing Missouri hurt.
  5. This is a master class in how to humble brag.
  6. If it happens all the time, I would say that IS your level, not one that you are"playing down" to.
  7. Did some band dude steal your girlfriend? Hard work doesn't always involve violent collisions. My kids did both band and varsity athletics (at an all- district level). Just not football. Musical talent and athleticism are not mutually exclusive. Did you hate the drill team girls too?
  8. Not too many Texas fans cared one way or the other between Baylor and TCU.
  9. Look for the best in people. Maybe he was trying to find a copy of Leaves of Grass.
  10. Looking back now, the slow clogged exit this year doesn't seem as bad.
  11. I'm waiting to see the story about an aggy being approached by a player asking directions to the portal.
  12. A day that will live in infamy.
  13. To be fair, most of us have tied to erase the entirety of 2020 from our memory banks.
  14. Interesting quote from the CFP chair: Corrigan said once again on Tuesday night that “Head-to-head is head-to-head, no matter when the game is played, and that’s how we look at it.” https://www.dawgnation.com/football/on-the-beat/cfp-projections-chatter/SK2LFWNKDRA45DL5UUUIZFJHGI/
  15. Remember that time when we had thousands of posts discussing/debating/criticizing the Big 12 tiebreaker rules, only to have it come down to a simple result in the end? I'm hoping for a repeat.
  16. Can anyone explain to me why Oregon is considered to be a better team than UW? Is there an objective basis for that, or is it just that the Bo Nix has a high completion rate? It seems to me that the ascent of Oregon is largely the result of their beat down of an overhyped Colorado team.
  17. I think it's wrong too. But if the committee goes the direction of saying their charge is to figure out the best teams now - in order to justify picking Bama depite H2H - then I can see them rationalizing FSU away. I really think they don't want any part of the H2H controversy and may look for a way to avoid it.
  18. Counterpoint to the "Texas was lucky they got Bama early" argument: For years we have heard about what a meat grinder the SEC schedule is, how every game is a war, that they need to play a powder puff late in the season to recover from the rigors of the 8- game gauntlet, yada yada. It's lucky for Bama that they played us early in the year while they were still fresh and before all the SEC games took their toll.
  19. This cannot be overstated. A 3 way knot favors Bama and Texas over UO.
  20. FWIW the posters on Tidefans are convinced that they only jump Texas if we lose. They also think Oregon is overranked.
  21. If Bama, Texas, and UO end up as the 3 teams being considered, the committee can avoid the entire Texas/Bama controversy by taking them both. They can justify it by saying the win at Bama is better than UO splitting with UW.
  22. Most likely. But it is also possible they recalibrate after the CG games. If Bama beats Georgia, Texas's win over Bama gains significance. If Oregon is ahead tonight I think we need to root like hell for Bama.
