  1. We had a home and home with Oregon but the game in Eugene got canceled for a number of reasons. I believe they're still intending to round out the home and home by 2029 or 2030, I hope I can make it up there. It's not really a conspiracy theory. Obviously, above all they just want to compete and win but we'd be foolish not to try and put ourselves in a strong bargaining position when re-alignment inevitably happens again. Anyone with the means and motivation would be doing the same.
  2. That's dope. I remember my days working in the Tech press box. We had a great time and that was long before they built all the cool stuff.
  3. She's a huge Canes fan, I think I saw a tweet someone posted of her in the stands at Pyle
  4. She also makes some damn fine videos
  5. Yeah I'm not really trying to argue it's just fun to think about how this thing will play out. It's one of those strength on strength games which is always fun.
  6. One thing that doesn't get talked about enough is how badly preseason rankings fuck this whole process up.
  7. Whew lord is that a disingenuous reading of the Tech/Oregon State game. They had <100 yards at halftime and and barely over 100 yards passing at the end of the 3rd quarter when we pulled everyone after we got up 38-0. They had a few garbage time drives for Maalik to pad his stats against the scrubs. One thing that gives me pause is how they got manhandled in the trenches at home by Indiana, a team with a talent index far lower than theirs. The final 30-20 score wasn't really indicative of how badly they got beaten at the LOS in that game. I get how good and well coached Indiana is and I'm not saying Tech is as good as Indiana, but both play a very similar style of football. Oregon needs to be able to run the ball efficiently for their offense to function well and no one has been able to run the ball on Tech this year, including Utah, who has multiple first round draft picks on their offensive line and is absolutely comparable or even superior to Oregon from a running game perspective. Regardless, it'll be at very least the 2nd best O-line we've faced all season and the most talented on paper. Also, Oregon hasn't been great against the run despite not really playing against a good rushing offense all season outside of Indiana. That kind of manifested itself again in this game where that little bitty RB from JMU was hitting the edge pretty regularly and having a good day even while they were getting beat down in the first half. Tech's running backs can do exactly what that kid was doing except they're both bigger, faster, and stronger. Two common opponents.
  8. Which are dictated, again, by the rules that everyone agreed to. For the 10000th time, the anger at the committee is misplaced. They are placing teams based on those rules.
  9. You're joking, right. They absolutely have.
  10. Your posts are shit from a butt
  11. I'm sorry, but who fucking cares? There are always fucking blowouts. In every sports. Everywhere. All over the world. At every level. The CFP national title game has been played 11 times so far and 5-7 of them, depending on your definition, have been fucking blowouts. It's goddamn football, blowouts happen, no matter how "good" the two teams are on the field. We don't assign a champion based on who "should" win, or who has the most talent on a piece of paper, that's the whole fucking point of a playoff. There's a reason no other sport in the god damn world runs a condensed, super special snowflake format like college football does. People with this mentality just want to be handed a trophy without having to play the games.
  12. It's this. Tech defense will do its job. Morton has played really well when at least close to fully healthy this year and this is as good as it's gonna get for him.
  13. Prove it Oh wait you can't oopsie
  14. This team at full effort and full strength if it ever happens this season will be something
