  1. My head started bobbing to the rhythm upon reading this... thanks!
  2. Pk held OSU to their lowest scoring output of the year, and he's the issue.
  3. It can't be said enough that the ending of that game was absolutely perfect. Aggie hopes and dreams, the roller-coaster build of the drive down the field, getting so close, and with under a minute left the train goes of the track, their "Heisman" QB throws an INT and the aggies end the season with a loss to Texas followed by their new QB savior crushing all hopes.
  4. DOC... check him out. IYKYK
  5. I put my money where my mouth is and I'm not an aggie. I'll believe it when I see it and if I'm wrong pay my debts, eat my crow and happily celebrate our new OL coach, GM and play calling duties shift if they happen. Edit - Now if you'll excuse me, I have some filling and delicious aggie tears to consume.
  6. Texas and Florida (teams) pull good numbers, I think that one will show good numbers even though nobody gives a shit about aggie outside Houston metroplex. SEC rematch had no competition, SE numbers will be good, but NE and west coast won't show up much. The participation trophy games will be terrible numbers. VS two of the best known uniforms and brands in college football, one of which and in many cases both are extremely hated. Yes, yes it will.
  7. This is the key take away that I posted prior. I think the when the number crunchers get a look at the Friday and early Saturday games and compare them the message will be clear. Big names and perceptions of quality competition is much, much, much more valuable than the idea of the Cinderella story in college football. The legal aspects regarding the inclusion of G5, and how to end that will be put in full gear because nothing drives business like the bottom line and bringing in lawyers to achieve better results financially is always an investment rich entities are willing to make for the ROI.
  8. You mean using a running game with a great OL to improve TOP to keep our D off the field? That's just crazy talk!
  9. You do realize the "Corch doesn't own us an explanation." And "Have faith in corch!" are exactly things we here at Surly deride aggie for constantly. That "trust corch, he got this, he don't owe you shit, have faith" bullshit is straight up 100% fucking aggie.
  10. This is the exact sort of bullshit messaging I was sold last season. I'll offer you the same bet I did above. I'll wager any amount of money you like no further changes are made to our offensive staff. I will relax when the head coach addresses the issues that have plagued his team since he arrived in Austin.
  11. Well, JMU scored the most points of any team on Oregon all season. The majority of those points by JMU were in the second half when Oregon had a 4 TD lead. There is a reason Lanning brought the team back out on the field 5 minutes before the end of the half time break. It's extremely easy for 18-20 something year olds to start "we got this" syndrome and Lanning knew it. I find it interesting that you were critiquing Oregon for being very aggressive in the second half when we (and others) criticize the shit out of Sark for going to conservative and letting teams back in. The 2nd half points by JMU were more a bunch of young men letting "we got this" brain kick in than anything, but JMU made some good adjustments. JMU was top 10 in total D too, for the record. As for Tech, both Tech and Oregon are top 10 total defenses and top 10 offenses. They have one common opponent in Okie State. Oregon beat them 69-3, Tech won 42-0. Oregon got 631 yards and allowed 211. Tech got 370 and allowed 182. This is, IMO, far and away the most interesting game next week. One is an SEC rematch and the other 2 are going to be equal measures beat downs of the G5 schools. Given Lanning and the Oregon players are more experienced in the playoff and I think Lannning a better HC I like Oregon to win, but at the end of the day neither of them is beating Indiana who they will face post.
  12. So you think mediots and members of a coaching staff is a better way to determine who is a champion over actually ya know, qualified teams getting to play for it. Hate G5, hate the committee and its process, but hating the fact that P4 left a system that never worked and should have ended 50 years ago is really stupid. It's nearly as stupid as the way champions were determined. You'll get no argument from me. The ACC is on the edge too.
  13. Fuck the G5. They are the reason people are bitching. If not for G5 Texas is possibly in and this dumb fucking thread doesn't exist.
  14. I'm gonna need a healthy dose of Texags tears from you sweet scrollers of that suck. Thanks in advance!
  15. This is why I keep simping to be your next victim of choice. Hope my pick-me efforts are working!
  16. I had a long response and it went 503 crash on me. So... tldr given our schedule we certainly should make the CFP and CCG. It's the results in those that concern me. This post made me laugh so, thanks.
  17. Ill wager whatever amount you're willing that no further changes are made to the offensive staff. And you WERE looking for an argument despite stating otherwise.
  18. Oh, I know what's coming this season. Sark has made it clear his ego is what matters most, and that's never changing. I've accepted the reality that is Sark. I just don't like it. Hope I'm wrong but hope in one hand poop in the other.
  19. Well he was co-DC that quit to "spend time with his family". What's the reality, I'm sure I don't know but that's an extremely questionable reason to step down from being a co-DC and giving up all that money. As for recruiting, there is a ton of pseudo science in that world. It might, but it might not. But ya missed the entire point of my post. This move has everyone talking about the Texas Defense when the OL, RZ, TOP and running game have been the biggest and most consistent issues for Sark during his entire tenure.
  20. You and others continue to miss the point of the post. Go back, read mine then read yours. The move had the exact desired effect. Sark gets to keep his shittastic GM and OL coach and everyone is talking about the defense which only went downhill when Akina was brought in. Who's decision was it to bring on Akina? That question is not really the point the point is we will get the exact same bullshit on offense we have and there was zero indication or any evidence provided that Sark was putting energy into the defensive side. Thats the new narrative. I'm sure we'll continue to ignore the real issue in our discussions and continue to talk about Muschamp who was co-DC before he moved off. People keep forgetting that reality. Advantage Sark and his ego. I'm done with the topic as the results vs OSU in the first game will tell the tale.
  21. It had the exact desired result. The chuckle heads are all simping over the return of an old coach who got put out to pasture because he used to coach here. They're all rah rah yay team, all while the biggest issues on the staff return. Pretty typical of all fan base loyalist.
  22. For me there are a few key take aways. 1) Texas Defense suffered this year primarily due to passing game issues. A) Big loss of talent in Draft B) big loss of talent in DBs coach C) I firmly believe Akina was as much a factor as A and B maybe more 2) We could get really deep in the weeds, but in a broad take to avoid the Surly Decimal argument, at this point in their career Muschamp and PK are on similar levels of production. 3) The real issue wasn't with our Defense in broad strokes. Why are we fixing what ain't broke and have yet to address what is? This is why I'm guessing many people, like myself are WTF! I do know Surly has a deep bias in favor of Muschamp and that's going to cloud the views of many, but the broad question remains. Why did PK get fired for basically a similar level guy and not the OL which has always been an issue. My only logical conclusion is the PIP drove Sark to it, perhaps because he's very resistant to getting rid of Flood and Brandon Harris and had to make a big move due to the PIP? That's what it looks like to me, time will certainly clear items up.
