  1. I'm looking forward to when this thread crosses the streams with the shart thread.
  2. Michael Huff....easy one to forget, didn't do a whole lot for the Horns.
  3. And that's fair. The most important coaching matchup in this game is Pete vs Chip anyway.
  4. Seems to me the key to beating tOSU offense is to limit explosive plays and force them to be methodical or at the very least make them try to score TDs from the red zone. In their last two wins here is their scoring: Rose Bowl First Half 3 play drive, 45 yard TD 3 play drive 42 yard TD 10 play drive 46 yard FG 2 play drive 43 yard TD 1 play drive 66 yard TD 10 play drive 36 yard FG 2nd Half 6 play drive 8 yard TD Tennessee First Round First Half 5 play drive 37 yard TD 5 play drive 1 yard TD 7 play drive 29 yard TD 2nd Half 6 play drive 22 yard TD 9 play drive 1 yard TD 5 play drive 24 yard TD The average TD drive number of plays 4.7 average TD scoring yardage 25.5. I know we don't all like it but bend but don't break and try to bait them into being meatheads (which is what Michigan clearly did as tOSU kept stubbornly trying to run the ball to prove something) is the way in this one. Gonna have to give up some good (but not great) runs here and there and need to tackle well and keep things in front. Make Will Howard have to keep making plays and as Michigan found the mistakes will come. I know this isn't rocket science analysis but keeping everything in front and not letting them go off and then letting Day do his Day thing in the second half of a close big game should be our aim.
  5. The receiver down at the bottom may have false started but who gives a shit and that movement certainly wasn't what caused the guys in the middle to blow their loads.
  6. We really are reliving the last century. Pandemic, fascism, evil alcohol....but something's still missing.
  7. That tracks with the high heart rate notification in the Health app on my iphone.
  8. Kiffin is such a petty dick. You almost have to admire it.

  10. A runner so not defenseless and side of the helmet, not crown sooooo Targeting is dumb is what I take from it.
  11. The debate/outrage IS the grift guys....c'mon don't fall for it.
  12. All right you're a believer. I'm not...we can just leave it at that.
  13. This team looks EXACTLY like those fucking teams. If they face an offense that puts it on them they have no way to respond. Unless you think they are going to repeat the magical 17 points in 45ish seconds bit against a team with a guy in his first college start outcome every week (which hey maybe that happens...but I wouldn't count on it).
  14. The 2012-2013 Notre Dame team won at #10 Michigan State #18 Michigan whipped Miami's ass #17 Stanford (who finished 7th in AP) at #8 Oklahoma among others They didn't have the awesome NIU loss on their resume though so maybe you are on to something
  15. There is no way the CFP is bringing in Kevin Mar after the Bielema/Beamer shit show he officiated earlier this week.
  16. Good point other than getting the teams/order completely wrong. It would have been Oregon, Georgia, Texas, Penn State
  17. They have been in a BCS Final and two CFP semis, all since 2013. So maybe we will see if it is even their best team in the last 12 years
  18. Good point, but they would have had to drop Georgia like 21 spots (behind an Army team that lost to Navy the following weekend) in the rankings to keep them out.
  19. Texas and Penn State would have been in the field this year. Ohio State and Notre Dame would not have.
  20. We have gone full circle. One semifinal is going to look like an SEC game from 10-15 years ago and one semifinal is going to look like a Big 12 game.
