  1. That’s the hope. Our team is set up to compete next year but we have to completely remake the OL. Campbell and Hutson are gone. Robertson is mediocre at best. And this may qualify as a hot take, but we could use a tackle to push Baker and Goosby. Those guys looked OK in comparison to the interior, but neither one is exactly Kelvin Banks out there. The in house options are fucking grim. Stroh is literally the only guy with significant experience and…yuck. Trotting Arch out in his contract year behind a starting IOL of Stroh, Cruz, and Kibble ain’t gonna cut it.
  2. This is a good point on Michigan that I haven’t seen discussed before. If they lose but hang tough today they’ll still be in the beauty contest, which we absolutely don’t need. Committee might be tempted to balance out the numbers of SEC and B1G teams.
  3. If the algorithm is sort by number of loses and take the top 12, that’s fine I guess but they should just say that so everyone can schedule accordingly.
  4. TBH we probably should have tried to put 7 more on aggy there at the end
  5. Ahhhh so satisfying
  6. Well that was a wet fart
  7. Cmon offense, this is your fucking moment
  8. You’ll get a stretch running play to the short side of the field for a loss of 2 and you’ll fucking like it
  9. Simple question: why is our offense dogshit at the end of year 5?
  10. Of course the problem is that we've ended up with these "lottery ticket" types starting on the OL this year when they in reality should never have seen the field, or at least not any time soon. It's a fine strategy if we fill in as needed with the portal and the occasional 5-star high school blue chipper. For whatever reason, we've been skipping that 2nd part of the plan, hence a major reason why we started the season #1 and are going to end up in the Whogivesashit Bowl.
  11. Same. No one will ever be able to convince me that the doc isn't just 8 hours of Jerry patting himself on the back. No interest.
  12. Just got my email saying no tickets for this draw. It's hard to overstate how much my interest in this tournament has done a 180 from where it was like 2 years ago. It may very well - and let's be honest, probably will - swing back as the actual games get closer, but as of right now, fuck FIFA and fuck this bullshit ass corporate fatcat tournament.
  13. At no point does it occur to anyone involved that you can just turn around and walk the other way and that’s that.
  14. Why on earth, if you're a bottom feeder team just playing out the season to get a draft pick, would you put yourself in a news headline associated with this dude?
  15. I've been playing around with The Athletic's playoff simulator this morning and it's worse than I thought. The gist of it is that we have to finish at least 0.5 games ahead of both Chicago and Carolina (bc both have the tiebreaker over us). Then we also need at least one of Detroit, San Francisco, Seattle, or I guess maybe Green Bay to collapse pretty thoroughly. Root for the Panthers tonight (even though we need them to lose as well, the model thinks it will be much easier for us to get ahead of them versus passing the 49ers). Finishing 8-8-1 doesn't get it done. 9-7-1 and we've got a chance, but not a great one. 10-6-1 probably gets it done.
  16. If we're talking inexplicable losses, don't overlook the Bears. They are the fraudiest 8-3 of all time. It's all tight wins over terrible teams and their point differential is -3.
  17. Jesus Christ we are so dumb we are actually playing for a 65 yard fg
  18. Fucking fire Schottenheimer. Absolutely fucking brain dead
  19. Boys really setting it up to blow this one in spectacular fashion
