  1. No excuse not to win the first two. Let's go back to the Final 4, then see what happens!
  2. This is all true, to a certain extent. But I think the bigger issue at work here is the conference protecting its brand. Conferences always shaded things a little if it meant keeping a team undefeated to make sure they got into the old 4-team playoff or BCS championship game. And if we're honest, we benefitted from that in the Big 12 once or twice (not as frequently as ou). Now it seems like conferences will try to make sure they get 3 or even 4 teams into the expanded playoff (I haven't forgotten the 5 bad calls in the first half of the aggy game, when their only way in was to upset us and then win the CCG). In the case of the CCG, it's as simple as this: the SEC-is-the-best-conference mystique takes a hit if Texas shows up and wins it immediately, especially given that we're only in year 2 of a return to national relevance. So, they made a business decision to fuck us. And, to your point above, everybody hates Texas anyway, so no one will mind that we're gonna violate them repeatedly. They probably won't even be able to see it, and if Texas fans say anything they'll be written off as homers, no matter how many black-and-white examples they can list. So, in conclusion, again, fuck the SEC. We'll be the ones they're protecting probably as soon as next year. But I'd rather just have straight games.
  3. It was multiple levels worse than the roughing they called on us. Then there were the twin shoulder tug DPI's -- flag on Texas and not on them. Three holds in the first half on Texas, and zero on them. And IIRC we also had multiple holds the first time against Georgia. How come this OL, considered by some to be the best in the country, wets itself every time it sees Georgia's D line with SEC refs, but they didn't wet themselves against Michigan's very good D line, or OU's? My personal favorite was the play that ended up with our guy getting lit up out of bounds with no flag, but there were two flags on us. Three fouls on one play, and you see the two on Texas but not the blatantly obvious one on Georgia. Like, guys, you could've thrown that one just to make it less obvious that you're in the fucking bag, since it would've been offset anyway -- use your brains.
  4. I'm so fucking mad today. Yes, we made mistakes (Quinn and Strawberry Shortcake, esp), and yes, we could've won anyway. But the total yardage at halftime was something like 260 to 54 and I believe each team had 1 turnover at that point. But the penalty yardage was 80-19. They kept Georgia in that game, because they were told to by the league office, and I hate conspiracy theories in general. And the booth watched it happen and pretended they didn't see it. You know you fucking saw it, Kirk, you gutless prick. I was sitting there at halftime fuming, because we all knew Georgia would play better in the second half. We needed to be up 17-3 instead of 6-3, and we played well enough to have that lead, but we were not allowed to. Fuck you, SEC.
  5. Mmm hmm...
  6. I'd like to think our head coach isn't stupid enough to go less than 100% after the biggest conference championship in the sport.
  7. Defense will still be salty next year and we get Arch and CJ. We're gonna fuck everybody up, some of them twice.
  8. Serious question: Are the playoff refs still conference crews? Or are they mixed and matched? I'd love to play UGA with straight officiating at a neutral site.
  9. I mean, if they're the 2 and we're the 7, and we hold serve in a home playoff game first, then we are Georgia's next game. Again.
  10. It's a good thing I quit breaking things over Longhorn football about 20 years ago.
  11. Pilot's Error, you worthless fucking cunt, why don't you contribute something to the discussion instead of drive-by negging people every god damned weekend? You fucking suck and your dick is small.
  12. Jesus, please stop. We won in Tuscaloosa. We won in Ann Arbor. We won in College Station. We've won two of the last three in blowout fashion against ou. We won a conference championship game last year. And we were one play from the national championship game. We lose twice to Georgia with a gimpy QB and a bunch of ref fuckery and now Sark can't win a big game? GTFOH.
  13. I'll take "Posts That Needed A New Thread" for negative two million, Alex.
  14. Yeah, I'm just saying we still could have won it anyway if Little Orphan Andy hadn't hooked 6 fucking points. And some of those penalties were drive killers. I said it's not *all* Quinn's fault.
  15. Did last year's conference championship not count? I mean, I saw the trophy at DKR.
  16. It's not all on Quinn. We also got jobbed for almost a hundred yards in penalties and our kicker bricked two field goals. But, one of those three things can be fixed, probably. I like Quinn, and I've been in his corner, but he could have had 4 picks today if things had gone all-the-way wrong. I still think 100% Quinn gives us our best chance to win. But he said himself, apparently, that he's about 75%. So, it's time to go to 100% Arch, right now. We have to. Sark owes it to the rest of this team.
  17. Okay, this hand-off has to be for -2, yeah??
  18. Calling what we should have called, with Arch in there.
  19. Oh, that missed tackle hurts.
  20. Just fucking awful play calling. Two chucks hoping for a flag or a miracle, then that had no chance on 3rd down.
  21. Slant's been there all day...
  22. Stole a yard on that spot??
  23. Fun fact: that coin doesn't have a heads side.
