  1. We went through this in the Bama/LSU game thread but bottom line, with the way the tie breakers are set up we currently control our own destiny. If Texas, LSU, and Tennessee all win out and end up with one loss each, tie breakers would put Texas vs LSU in the CCG
  2. Since Tennessee lost to Arkansas and LSU has beaten Arkansas, if we win out, LSU and Texas would own the common opponent tie breaker over Tennessee (all three teams all beat the other common opponents). I can't see a way that tie breaker changes if all 3 teams win out
  3. First tiebreaker is head to head, which doesn't exist between any of the three teams. Second tie breaker is record vs common opponents. Against opponents common to all three teams, Tennessee would have the only loss (vs Arkansas). So Texas and LSU would own the tiebreaker and be in the CCG. Third tiebreaker I think is opponents cumulative conference winning percentage, which is impossible to forecast at this point
  4. I mean, I'm introducing 3 hypotheticals. Texas wins out. Tennessee wins out. LSU wins out. All realistic. All likely? Eh who knows, especially in this chaotic season. But if I'm reading tie breaking rules correctly, Georgia's loss today means we control our own destiny regardless of what happens in this game
  5. Saw the tweet earlier this week. Apparently Ben has been getting chemo all season... Cancer finally spread and they had to put him down. Fuck cancer, for our pets too.
  6. Now that Georgia lost, I'm not so sure. If we win out, there's a potential that there's a 3 way tie at the top... Texas Tennessee and LSU. No head to head matchups there. The only opponents common to all 3 are Oklahoma, Arkansas, Florida, and Vandy. If all 3 teams win out, then the only loss to the common opponents would be Tennessee losing to Arkansas. (All 3 teams would've beaten OU, Florida, and Vandy. Tex/LSU would've beaten Arkansas) I would think that puts us and LSU in the CCG.
  7. Dr. Robert Cade.... He's a Longhorn Legend.
  8. I mean, we're 70% through the season in a playoff chase and a month from the transfer portal opening If this was his decision, then he's quitting on the team in the middle of the season If this was a coaching decision, then he was kicked out and they didn't want him around the team for the rest of the season. Either way, the timing here doesn't point to very many options that would indicate "great teammate" Pure speculation on my part.
  9. Technically speaking... Since this is theoretically out in public, isn't this tampering? I know he's not on the team anymore, but he's still on scholarship with the University of Texas, he still counts as a roster spot, and he can't enter the transfer portal until the window opens. Obviously teams are going to reach out... But they can't do so publicly/officially until he enters the portal, no?
  10. I'll have to go catch some Waves games next season 🤘🏽
  11. Yup. Coach Sumrall had Troy ranked, winning 10 games, and won back to back Sun Belt titles before he bolted for Tulane. Before Sumrall went to Tulane, the early talk on the Kentucky boards was that Sumrall was going to be their first and only call to replace Stoops when it looked like he was heading to A&M (Sumrall was an assistant under Stoops at UK before he landed the Troy job)
  12. I'm not the most tactical mind... But I think this looks like man-marking and the goal scorer pushes off of Cuti and he doesn't recover well.
  13. I wish it was as simple as that, but it's not the first time it's happened. Here's the sequence against City. Ball on the right, LB on the ball, LCB trying to block the passing lane, RCB has his eyes on a runner potentially coming into the box or waiting for a cutback, RB (Gray) is marking a runner. The circled attacker is who the ball goes to and scores. Here's a similar situation against West Ham. Ball on the right. LB on the ball, LCB clogging the passing lane, RCB on a runner, RB is on a runner. Guy that scores comes in from out of the picture. The RB in this game was Porro I believe. So it's not all on Gray and I wouldn't be surprised if this is something opponents have seen on film.
  14. I feel like we give up a lot of goals on crosses to unmarked players at the back post, kind of like the one today. Is that a tactical deficiency of Ange ball? Or is someone not tracking back enough to cover the last man across the box? Thoughts?
  15. @Magus Ossis we call a consult upon the Ortho Bro.
  16. Depending on the grade of injury (basically how misaligned the two fragment ends are and where along the collarbone the fracture is), a collar bone fracture can potentially heal in about 6-8 weeks, especially in this age group.
  17. He hasn't had much opportunity this year, but has still been pretty reliable. 100% on XP, 3-3 from under 40, 3-5 from over 40 Compared to last year: 100% on XP, 18-19 from under 40, 9-12 from 40-50, 2-4 from 50+
  18. Pass to open the run. Get them to spread out and play the screens, then run it.
  19. I think someone mentioned he's behind on pass pro, so putting him in is a giveaway that it's a run.
  20. Turnovers turnovers turnovers. Notre Dame has 3 touchdowns off 4 Navy turnovers (3 unforced fumbles, 1 strip sack in the end zone). Sloppy play has made this a blowout.
