  1. No disagreement with this. For reasons I can't clearly define, I've always had a soft spot for GT and this year they are definitely my underdog favorite. So...biases are likely. So, I guess for me in an overrated conference with several media darlings Pitt and GT are the teams I like. I don't think Virginia is as good as their record indicates, and their record came against pretty crappy teams as you noted. Struggling against North Carolina, going to OT vs FSU and also losing to NSCU does not a terrific resume make. However, I do prefer them over the pomp and circumstance that is the fraud of Miami.
  2. I absolutely agree with him for 2 reasons. First, the fans. With hotels, flights, potentially car rentals, meals and game tickets going to these games on the road is an absolute financial beating. I had to pick last year and chose the SEC champ game and saved for the potential championship game. This year, due to financials, it would only be the championship game. Beyond that, the loss revenues for the schools that goes to another city some other entities etc is a massive loss. There is not reason for the first and quarter finals to be on the road for both teams other than no longer relevant historical ties. And fuck giving Jerrah Jones more money.
  3. That's being really kind. Louisville and GT were the best teams I've seem play but that loss to NCSU changes things a lot. I guess I'd put Pitt and Louisville with GT a close third. I won't buy Miami nor Virginia.
  4. It was noted up thread but I really think this was the best game this year not just for Arch but for the WRs as well. In addition to Sark getting a clue and calling a game that aligned to the strengths of the players I think the WRs took a big step forward in effort and give a shit. Mosley, imo, is helping to drive that initiative with a lead by example directive.
  5. I don't think anyone is saying it's a grand conspiracy to get Vandy in the playoffs. Rather, that particular call combined with others is highly suspect. The refs are regular humans, and the record clearly reflects biases and choices can directly impact their choices in game. What exactly happened or why is anyone's guess, but rather than some grand conspiracy its likely a particular individual. It's pretty clear if you watch Georgia gets a lot of officiating love. Texas in the Big XII got a lot of officiating hate. Okie State was a fix and you can't convince me otherwise. That 2 point conversion flew in the face of the entire reasons for official review. If extremely clear camera angles dispute the horrible on field call, yet it's not overturned, the reviews are worthless and a waste of time. Get rid of them or investigate the idiots making such egregious errors.
  6. Jinx!
  7. Accept.... the game came down to on onside kick (shouldn't have but did) and with 30 seconds, had Vandy recovered it, there was a very real possibility of a fg to go to OT rather than needing a TD to win. Massive, massive difference. I know (or hope) you're just taking the media's perspective. So this isn't directed at you, rather them for being cowards.
  8. Noticed that too. My pure guess is the editors absolutely knew it was incorrect too and replaying it would throw gas on a fire they wanted no part of prior to general public opinion being aired. This way they don't come down on the wrong side of the masses' opinion. I am guessing it will come up more this week, but we shall see.
  9. Yeah... I will say, and it's been a while, but I sure as hell don't recall as anything as obviously blatant as the 2 point conversion. Of all of the shit calls that one just floors me.
  10. Not close at all. Real time watching the game, I said he didn't cross when it happened. I was shocked that line judge signaled TD. Like, WTF suprised. Then watched the film and I KNEW it would be overturned. KNEW it would be overturned with 100% certainty. Wasn't...
  11. Eh, don't agree. Please let me clarify. There were absolutely multiple pivotal plays in this Vandy game, particularly in the second half, that were pretty egregious in how bad they were. The 2 point conversion is among the worst incorrect field and then incorrect reviews I've seen. I'm sure there are one or two that might be close, but holy shit that one floored me. All that said, while there were a goodly number of incorrect calls and the obscenely bad 2 pt conversion, okie state was next fucking level. I need to go back and look but I recall (perhaps incorrectly) that it was something like 20 penalties and 160 yards against Texas and like 2 for Texas. It was all game long and constant. Even a buddy who was a okie state grad and lives in fucking Stillwater, grew up there, admitted the officiating was paid off. Right at the end of the game. When an opposing fan, even if a friend, sees it that clearly, it's a level beyond.
  12. I actually have a Roku on both my TVs. If YTTV and Disney can't un-fuck their pissing contest by Georgia I may well do Fubo. Rokus are pretty cheap and very easy to set up, for the record. In case anyone else is considering using one.
  13. Yeah, even finding the fucking game took a minute. I looked but have no idea if multi-screen is even possible. YTTV offers that shit up when switching games and allows for "custom" builds. I'm not sucking any YTTV ass but it's absolutely superior for sports.
  14. You think he actually moves once planted? Your lack of physics knowledge and ignorance regarding the amount of suck that he creates is disheartening.
  15. Yeah, he's been consistent in winning, averaging 9 wins a year. I can't see any heat in his seat at all.
  16. Very
  17. I hope Ou sucked into scoring that TD and I've no clue why they wouldn't take one in the first place. That's top notch OU dumb fuckery.
  18. You should be ashamed of yourself. But I grinned.. so... go show.
  19. I live in a world where I can never bring myself to pull for OU even when it benefits Texas. It's irrational and frankly a little dumb, but I just can't pull for it. Fuck OU, win them all and don't let others decide your fate.
  20. For USC fans "Knee never touched". Say this as you introduce yourself and save time.
