  1. I understand everyone is a little delusional about their own team but seeing Michigan fans trying to rationalize this as no big deal is pretty funny.
  2. IIRC he actually took the hit on that run with the left side of his body. I think he was injured when he was sacked on 1st down right before the 1st half ended. Edit: which would explain why he checked down to Brooks on seemingly every pass play until he was pulled.
  3. While this is technically true, the fake FG and the incomplete deep shot to Mitchell on 4th down are effectively turnovers. We also had two of these against OU - running into the kicker conversion and goal line stop - which effectively made the turnover battle 0-5 in OU’s favor. Sark’s 4th down decision making is proving to be questionable at best.
  4. This. The reason we nearly lost this game is because Sark asked Sideshow Bob to convert a 4th and 7 on the edge instead of kicking a 44 yard field goal. Combine that with PK’s patented deep quarters coverage that allowed them to move the ball 10 yards at a time for free and all of a sudden all of the momentum was on the other side. Quinn injury didn’t help but this game should have never been close, regardless.
  5. Iowa is favored by 3.5 over Minnesota this weekend with an O/U of 31.5. The implied score of 17-14 sounds a little ambitious.
  6. USC just does not look like a good football team.
  7. And because coaches are generally unintelligent meatheads, I’m sure he will explain why this is the best thing to do and continue doing it even though it cost them a loss.
  8. I think OU had the psychological advantage due to having an entire year of focus on getting revenge for 49-0. This is not making an excuse for Sark / Texas. Great coaches and teams would maintain the motivation to go out and beat them by 49 again. But we didn’t have that. It was obvious from the opening snap that they had more fire and were playing for revenge. If we can take care of business and win out the rest of our B12 games - and there’s absolutely no reason why we shouldn’t - then we should have plenty of motivation in Arlington.
  9. It was absolutely the wrong call on 3rd down. So we made it a 47 yard FG instead of a 52 harder? That doesn’t really make a difference these days. Field goals are not missed short from 50. Then it was the wrong call to not go for it on 4th. Ask yourself this - would you have taken a single snap where we have to gain 4 yards to win the game before kickoff? I certainly would have. Going ahead by a field goal is not some great victory. And that brings me to the last thing. It is ESPECIALLY the wrong decision to follow up this sequence by playing prevent defense. What was the goal here? To give up 10-15 yards a snap and hope they miss a field goal or take a sack at the end of the game? When you look at the entire sequence, it almost seems like we were playing for overtime.
  10. This was a painful loss but we deserved it, to be honest. We simply didn’t play like we wanted to win almost the entire game. That being said, OU has been on the losing end of this game twice and ended up getting the last laugh (2008 and 2017). Let’s return the favor. We should be heavily favored in all 6 of our remaining games. Roll into Jerry World at 11-1 and win the conference.
  11. Assuming that they can score 2 TD against anyone is not without risk.
  12. My favorite: Es largo! Esta sólo! Sólo!!! Completa!! Adonaiiiiiiiiiiii Miiiiiiiiiiiitchellllll
  13. First play will be a play action swing pass to Whittington for 2 yards. Sorry to disappoint.
  14. So is a thorough drubbing of ULM enough to get the rollercoaster climbing again? The early season setback came earlier than usual this year.
  15. The pass interference call was our signal that the refs decided the drive shouldn’t end.
  16. OSU losing to South Alabama 16-0. It’s beautiful to see the Big XII turning into complete dogshit as we make our exit.
  17. I think we broke the Alabama dynasty. It’s a fitting end.
  18. Milroe will be back in the game after halftime, if not sooner.
  19. I’ll give it three weeks until they can’t take the ridicule anymore and memory hole this video.
  20. Miami looks like a team that hasn’t practiced in about 4 months.
  21. First statement on the aggy commercial: ”We’re not weird.”
  22. This morning the Houston Heights received its first real rain since June? July? I don’t know. But it was glorious. I can’t wait to complain about mosquitoes.
  23. There appears to be a small but intense storm cell moving towards central Houston. Hope is a dangerous thing.
  24. 7 points halfway through the 3rd was probably not what they imagined when they hired Garrett Riley.
