  1. There are moments where I worry that our University is headed in a direction that will degrade the value of the diploma, and then I read threads like this and realize there’s nothing to worry about: we already produce a weapons grade number of fucking morons when it comes to critical thinking. The fact that many of the same posters making the “just win” argument are also saying we shouldn’t dilute our OOC schedule is a wild display of not understanding how anything works.
  2. If a bad loss to a shitty team from Florida is disqualifying, then Bama should be out as well. For the trillionth time, it isn’t the Florida loss that sunk us. It’s the fact that the Florida loss is our third. If the number one criteria is minimal losses, then a stout OOC schedule is clearly in opposition of any postseason goals.
  3. It’s remarkable how little help we’ve gotten down the stretch from other teams.
  4. Meteor seeing this matchup.
  5. EXACTLY the correct messaging. Make Texas’s playoff selection a referendum on OOC scheduling.
  6. If we had scheduled Wyoming for our first game, we could have lost to UF by 30 and still be safely in the playoffs.
  7. Again, we would be an absolute LOCK if we didn’t schedule Ohio St. What message does the committee want to send about OOC games? If I was CDC I would start floating rumors about cancelling our big OOC games if we miss. Even if it’s bullshit, let’s start manipulating the conversation.
  8. So they demolished a huge portion of the White House without even having a concrete plan of what is going to be constructed?
  9. My dad got too drunk so my (lib) brother had to drive them home. Bro opened up the car door and found a MAGA hat sitting in the door compartment. Even worse, it was a dorky Elon black one. Thanksgiving is a rough day to learn that your father has been going out in public with a black MAGA hat.
  10. 2012 graduate of our fine university 🤘🏻
  11. Fragile, white, and full of shit? “TP” is perfect.
  12. I think we are going to need to see the entire cycle play out before being able to draw conclusions. If there is a concerted effort to focus more on transfers to fill holes, then I could get behind that strategy as I think that’s the way of the future. But if this is indicative of the type of players we are now chasing in general, then I think the alarm bells are valid.
  13. Please, please, please force a prominent Democrat to repeatedly state “I don’t think our military should follow illegal orders” while the general public watches the current administration completely lose their shit at this. Just an incredible own goal opportunity presenting itself.
  14. Mark Kelly is unfortunately a pretty boring candidate by himself. But if empowered as the face of anti-MAGA, he is basically a fucking dream candidate for Dems.
  15. To be fair, that’s the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.
  16. An 11-1 Bama makes the playoffs last year, even with the OU loss. Much like us this year, their OOC loss eliminated any margin for error and turned a bad loss into a season ender.
  17. I mean you aren’t wrong, but a team with one loss to Florida makes the playoffs. A team with two losses, including Florida, makes the playoffs. A bad loss doesn’t keep you out of the playoffs. A bad loss when you’ve lost a tough OOC game and eliminated the margin for error might. The committee might be about to give every team clear direction to stop the fun OOC games.
  18. The bottom line: if we had scheduled, like, Wyoming for the first game - we would be 9-2 heading into the aggy game and an absolute lock to get in with a win - Florida loss and all. I get that there are a lot of moving parts, but if we miss the playoffs then the lesson we will unquestionably learn is that we shouldn’t schedule tough OOC games. I’m not convinced that’s a lesson the committee wants to teach.
  19. Arkansas defense is so bad it’s satya-proof
  20. "Abraham Toro, but .100 OPS worse" is a hell of a selling point.
  21. Genuinely the weakest, most easily influenceable man in human history. Do you know how easy it should be for an 80 year old Republican to stay mad at a brown millennial socialist, and this motherfucker can't even do that. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c0qpqkyp948t
  22. There are few things on this planet I hate more than that fax account.
  23. Honestly not sure which part of this sentence to question first: the insinuation that Demeco Ryans was calling our offense or the fact that they “rolled” last night.
  24. This defense is incredible. Even just a mediocre offense would have this team in the upper echelon of super bowl contenders.
