Much like those wetting their pants over the losses, I think anyone definitively claiming that this is all for the best are speaking too soon. We only have half of the necessary data points at this juncture, any concrete conclusions (for better or worse) about our 2026 roster cannot yet be drawn.
I know this isn’t the main lesson to be learning (and probably the wrong thread) but this is why I felt like I was taking crazy pills during the election when a lot of my fellow Jews started pivoting to the right.
Yes, there are plenty of people on the left who hate Israel but all of the motherfuckers who hate you for BEING JEWISH are on the right.
I don’t think lamenting the current state of college football and acknowledging that we are uniquely positioned to benefit from it have to be mutually exclusive thoughts.
We will absolutely be fine. I just, selfishly, don’t love that some of the magic that I associate with the sport is gone.
But you are correct, come next year I will still root like hell for guys like Jesus Terry and Maraad Watson, who under previous circumstances would never ever have worn the burnt orange.
Yes, I hate all of that.
Wisner was a recruiting after-thought with negligible pro talents who stepped up in some of the most important games in recent memory and far outperformed anyone’s expectations. In any other era of college football, he leaves this university as a folk legend and a symbol of the program’s turnaround. Instead, he’ll end up as just another guy from this era whose post-career activities will feature a degree from a school not named Texas.
And yes, business is business. I understand why he is asking for more money just as much as I understand why we told him to kick rocks. It just sucks.
Thought it would be impossible to fuck up a season with Colby, Christian, Devens, Jonathan, Joe, etc all returning, but this celebrity shit has me worried…
Just a reminder that most of the people claiming this is all a nothing-burger are the same ones who were convinced that Wayfair furniture catalogs were secret child trafficking menus a few years ago.
A policy-led Republican Party had folks questioning if the party was doomed for eternity prior to Trump saving them from the ashes. Their shit is supremely unpopular when separated from the greatest carnival barker our nation has ever seen.
You can already see evidence of the political dorks positioning for a post-Trump world, and assuming his coalition will carry over. Bold strategy, Cotton!
We all knew guys like Andrew in college. The world was a better place when they were just weirdos behind a table on the west mall instead of driving public policy for the President.
Generally, you are skilled with your bothsideisms, but this is a big misstep. Just blatantly false and easy to prove wrong.
They could post a video of him curing cancer and some of y'all would rather die than take it.
They could post a video of him giving everyone cancer and y'all would suddenly claim chemotherapy is woke.
One of the rare seasons where I don't feel like we are pretenders heading into the postseason. Our strengths are legitimately elite, and it feels like our weaknesses are becoming less crippling by the week.
We won't be a favorite, but I don't think anyone will be happy to see us in the bracket.
Imagine trying to pick a top 4 between:
13-0 B1G Champ Ohio State
11-2 SEC champ Bama
11-2 Georgia
12-1 Big 12 champ Tech
11-1 Oregon
11-1 aggy
11-1 Ole Miss
