Yeah roll call was fantastic, as usual. The other was meh… as usual.

The flashback to the Big 12 gashing them with spread and hurry up the first 3 series is going to be glorious.

My head immediately said “‘01 Miami says hold my beer’ “ so I looked it up. 28 INTs, 5 passing TDs (13 TDs total) in 12 games. so surprisingly close on the total TDs allowed but nowhere near as close on the turnovers (Miami also recovered 20 fumbles to go with those 28 INTs. Just mind-numbingly stupid to AVERAGE 4 TOs per game).

At first I was pissed we didn’t blow them out 30-something to 0. but i think this way, followed by a 42-3 type score next year in Austin, may be even better

This is all setting up so nicely. win and sit back and root for a Penn St mild upset (I think it probably happens…I also think UNLV upsets Boise St but that’s for a different thread. I kinda want to see that just to give a big fu to the qb and rb that quit on the team). go in as the 1 seed with a road that allows us to redeem a new year’s loss in New Orleans, then back to jerryworld where things went pretty well last time we were there and finally back to Atlanta to finish the job. Would also be a good test on how attendance is going to look at these quarter and semi rounds. If the superdome and Jerryworld aren’t packed in that scenario, the neutral site CFP games never will be. A Texas/smu semi in Arlington would be bizarro world.

I was just thinking this after re-watching that play earlier today. would absolutely love to see Sark pull that out of the hat on our first 4th and short.

I loved it. After the 2nd one in a row at one point later in the game, I commented to the guy next to me: “keep doing that. We’ve got Wisner over 25 carries. Give him extra time to collect himself”. And like clockwork: handoff to Wisner, 7-8 more yards on the next play.

“Where is everybody? Did I miss kickoff?”

I mean I love those unis but not sure how I feel about them at a neutral site when we’ve earned the home orange (even if it will feel like a road game). plus it breaks the “just like the first big 12 championship” coincidences when we wore orange.

I was playing in a HS JV basketball tournament the same day as the first Big 12 championship. I’ll be watching my son play in his first basketball tournament this Saturday.

Maybe we’ll win by 21.

They moved the times back to ensure no overlap. As you pointed out, it wasn’t just one game ending under 4 hours (bama/auburn), it was two (Tenn/vandy) add in the rivalry renewal angle, I’m sure they wanted to bake in a few minutes of buffer to hype up the rivalry and had some stuff in the can as a “just in case” those games ended in a reasonable amount of time and they had more time to fill than they initially wanted. My guess is that Aggy song was top of the list to get axed in the previous game ran into the pregame window but it ended in plenty of time so they ran with it.

Hook ‘em was on point all night. in pregame, A&M rolled out the flame thrower boxes with Aggie logos on to the field that their team ran threw and he’s backing up to it and acting like he’s wiping his ass on it

I respect that. Two trips to Atlanta in less than a month and a half would be a bit much.

He for sure was there in ‘99 a spur let me piss in his trailer after the bathroom lines on the old shit west side of the stadium were so long it was clear I was going to miss half of the first quarter
