Temple doesn’t want it too much. They sorta want to win.

The thought of this just scares you death.

USC 34 Texas 27

Okie State opens at -3.5 vs Boise. Should be a good matchup.

The first 50% of the arrest warrant reads like it was written by her defense attorney. No thin blue line, my ass.

Another element of this story that’s hard to believe - The victim is in his apartment in total darkness? Unlocked door, lights off, wandering around?

We can say Fuck Chip Brown all we want but at least he had he balls to ask that question.

It seems clear to me that he has received some “coaching” on how to handle the press.

He should take up golf in his off time.

Who the hell voted for FSU?

KSU can’t control the line of scrimmage and whiffing repeatedly on open field tackles. Hard to beat a team like Miss State like that.

Had we beat Maryland we would have had a pretty good shot at Gameday next week. Thanks, Tom.

A guy in my league has been hounding me for Ajayi during the preseason. Is this a sell high opportunity or do you think he’s going to continue putting up solid numbers? The proposed trade was Tyreek Hill for Ajayi.

I seriously don’t understand this approach. I hope he is lying because he’s too embarrassed to admit he got fired mid-game.

Riots. Pandemonium. Mayhem in the streets.

The Maryland loss has led us to offseason levels of thread derailment. I fear what’s going to happen if we don’t string together a few wins in the next 5-6 weeks.

Watching 2009 highlights instead of the shit show vs Maryland? Good call.

FSU OL is Camhron Hughes x 5.

It’s a funny tradition. Coaches think that they can somehow trick the fan base by not mentioning the actual problems with our performance. Which just pisses off the fan base more.

Since this is the optimism thread, I think that we are actually in a better position after this year’s loss to Maryland than last year’s (cue internal screaming). Aside from our DBs running into each other and dropping INTs, I think a big part of what let them score 24 points in the first 1.5 quearters was the decision to play Roach at MLB. He’s a great player but was completely out of position. Canada realized it and ran jet sweeps and quick passes to exploit it. I realize we were in a tough spot with the Wheeler, and later Johnson, suspsensions but I’m disappointed that we put ourselves in that position. After we pulled shifted to McCulloch / Wheeler at LB with Foster at joker in the 2nd half, we gave up only 10 points. Eliminate the whiff plays from the DBs and I think the defense could be pretty good. OL played much better than what we have seen over the past 5+ years. There is actual talent at the RB position. However, this is completely negated when we decide to play Kyle Porter. WR showed big play ability and for the most part we left our best players on the field (novel concept, I know). Ehlinger played OK until the 4Q when he started forcing things. Brandon Jones did a great job returning punts. Dicker seems like a huge upgrade over Rowland. The New Punter didn’t drop any snaps. Bottom line: Defense will be fine once we settle into better personnel groupings. Offense could be fine if we 1) commit to putting the best players on the field and keeping them there and 2) institute some sort of coherent play calling philosophy.

Miami sucks...who knew?

It has been repeated ad nauseum, but Charlie Strong was a likeable guy and therefore got the benefit of the doubt for a lot of bone headed decisions. Most people ended up agreeing that the responsibilities of managing a program the size of Texas was too much for him, and that he’s much better suited to a place like USF where alumni pressure is a lot lower and you only have to prepare for 2 or 3 really high quality opponents per year. Tom Herman is the opposite. He a condescending dickhead to the media, presumably to BMD’s, and has a bad habit of turning large numbers of the team against him during the offseason. He digs in his heals defending underperforming assistants and manages to look like a child throwing a temper tantrum in doing so. He plays favorites with players who have never done anything on the field to deserve it. Either he is going to learn to show humility and be willing to admit and correct mistakes or I think he’s on track for an awfully short leash from CDC.
