  1. Let’s get to 2-5!
  2. https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/ncaaf?tab=cfb-playoff
  3. Fuck that guy. We’re canceling it first!
  4. On the OTF Roundtable video last night, Burton seemed pretty upset about the Longhorns potentially being left out, but then he argued that the SEC should go to a 10-game conference schedule as a result. How does that achieve anything? Isn’t the committee showing that total number of losses matter more than quality wins? Adding SEC games doesn’t help minimize losses, that’s for sure. Even going to a nine-game conference schedule seems misguided now. I hate saying that because I really like the rotation they set up, and I hate saying to avoid big non-conference games in the future, but playing those games doesn’t optimize your chance to make the CFP.
  5. It’s on the ESPN app, but I hate navigating that thing. (I tapped Watch, then “SEC” under Conferences, then A&M vs Tex SkyCast.) It does say it’s an SECN+ broadcast so I’m not sure what credentials might be needed.
  6. Petrino was asked about this in the PC and he actually thought *Arkansas* got a favorable spot on that punt. So ackshually it does fit the thread narrative. (Should start at right spot but jump to 7:30 otherwise…) In the stadium I thought it went out of bounds much closer to the LOS than to where it landed.
  7. Yeah, that’s what brought it to mind. That sports scores line was 223- and Frost Bank lady was 226-.
  8. Don't remember anything that specific. I'd call "Scores of San Antonio" - which was phone number 223-3232, and probably area code 512 before the transition to 210 - and the scores were updated every 15 minutes, but I never heard individual player stats. I missed out! While on that topic... Has anyone called the Frost Bank lady recently? Her clock is like four minutes slow. She has one job!
  9. For fucks sake. Rideshare isn’t subject to short-term motor vehicle rental tax.
  10. Herbstreit replayed that thing like 10 times and didn’t mention it once.
  11. "The moment you go in the transfer portal at the University of Texas, you're no longer coming back," Sarkisian said. "Kids go and test the waters and try to come back, we're not playing that game. If you want to go in the portal, go in the portal, and good luck to you."
  12. I'll take it, but it feels to me more like typical AL East homerism. I just have a hard time believing the narrative would be the same if Springer just hit that homer as an Astro, sending the Astros back to the Series. Bregman and Cora benefit from this too, of course.
  13. Kornet’s got two fouls (including one flagrant) and two turnovers in four minutes and still he’s somehow he’s a huge upgrade over what we’ve had there recently.
  14. In that case, can we go ahead and hire Kirby, DeBoer, and Day?
  15. Criticize all you want, but if they hadn’t been so proactive in terms of injury prevention, we would have stumbled down the stretch with shit like Alvarez out with a hurt foot, Pena out with an oblique, and Altuve hobbling around with a broken foot. Imagine how awful that would have been.
  16. LMJ does many things, but “eat innings” is not one of them.
  17. So if we had gone 28-21 instead (92-win pace, not unreasonable), we’d be three games clear of the rest of the AL. I think the bitching and moaning has been justified.
  18. I’ll bitch about Sark’s playcalling all day, but at least he gave us this gem 20 years ago.
  19. Worse: Astros with RISP or Longhorns in the red zone?
  20. Reminded me of Mack passive-aggressively whining that the media was too critical about his shortcomings. “Well, we didn’t beat Oklahoma but we won the other 11, and people still want to ask about Oklahoma.” Hope someone asks him this week, “Coach, to follow up on your stat from last week’s press conference, what’s your red-zone TD% in 2025?”
  21. Nonsense! I was told that “if the bullpen stays healthy, that’s going to be a major edge.”
  22. *Wednesday night
  23. I will never understand how his career WHIP is under 2.00. And typical McCullers bullshit of needing about 90 pitches to get through 3.2 innings. I guess that’s okay if you have workhorses around you in the rotation to help rest the ‘pen, but Javier and Arrighetti are not that.
