Go Pokes

I kind of like it. The source material really doesn’t go into the characters motivation too much so the show runners have free rein to fill in the blanks. Kind of cool. The Laenor “death” was really surprising, but everybody who knew about it wasn’t talking. I’m digging it.

I'm thinking from this point on, it's just good old fashion GOT killings. Hopefully everybody is too busy killing each other to have sex. Though I've noticed a few times where the show took one line out of the book and spent 15 minutes of the show on it. So I've probably forgotten one single line in the book like "As if the 7 kingdoms being at war was not bad enough, this was also what has commonly been known as the Summer of still births." And S2E3 is all birthing scenes wrapped up with a 2 minute dragon fight at the very end of the episode.

He's incorrect anyway. Two chunks of dragon washed up but Luke's body was never found. Hope that doesn't violate the bookfag rule since it isn't spoiling anything

OK, I agree with you in principal so let's see if we can actually have an adult conversation about it. You can continue to call me names and curse me out though. I don't expect miracles. So yes, 14-0 is a statistical oddity. But 9 of them were pre-snap penalties that everybody could see. Conversely, if we had done any of those pre-snap infractions, everybody would have seen those too and you guys would rightfully be calling that out. You aren't, so I assume we can agree on that. So you should stop with the 14-0 talk. It's really 5-0 in penalties. But we had one called that you refused, so it's 5-1. We had off setting penalties, so it's actually 6-2 in penalties called. Does that really seem all that terrible or such a statistical oddity? Now if you want to bore down on each penalty and pick it apart, I'm sure you can. But so could I. I can go over to OSU friendly sites and link video after video of Texas holding us all day. They didn't call a lot of holding penalties all day. I think the one you refused was holding and I remember one or two on Texas. So which of the 6 penalties called on UT were so terrible? I didn't love the last PI call where your guy shoved our guy in the back. Yeah the ball wasn't to him yet, but it didn't seem like it was within 10 yards of our guy. I didn't see any other PI calls that looked wrong to me. And we obviously didn't commit any since our plan was to let your receivers run wide open and hope Ewers had a bad day. I guess that was our plan at least, since we executed it to perfection. If Ewers had been anywhere near his B game, you guys probably win that game easily. I just don't think the officiating had the huge impact on the game that you think it did. I'm sure it helped, but I don't believe it was the determining factor like it was in 2016. Our guys played a disciplined, buttoned up game and your guys were pretty sloppy and out of sorts. The fumbled punt never touched our guy and Johnson caught that ball inside the 10, but neither call was corrected because it was really hard to tell for sure. But if the refs were so out to get you, why did they call those your way in the first place? I realize someone tried to bring this up a few days ago (R.I.P.), so go ahead and flame away and permaban me. It just seems like you're really hung up on 14-0 when it was actually 6-2 and most seemed correct. A few went your way and a few (+ a few extra to appease the masses) went our way. Seems like that happens every week in every league.

You are such an angry person. You must be fun to hang around.

This page. Wow.

If this thread proves one thing, you guys will definitely find someone to blame. *ducks* I'll show myself out

You actually think we can beat ISU? Gimme some of what you're on. Horns 289 Pokes -10

Are you guys really still talking about this game? Move on to K-State already. You've got TWO open weeks before you attempt to slay your dragon. Well, a glorified scrimmage that if they even bother to keep the score will be at least 49-9 and then a bye week. Let's start talking some purple Wildcat and move on. This one is over already.

Cool. Is there where we drop our reverse jinx posts? I'll just cross post mine from another thread. Responding to: On 10/15/2022 at 6:46 PM, Valmy77 said: Yeah well...we'll see. Our fans spent the whole ISU game saying you would destroy us next week. Our game hadn't started by then and honestly, 10 minutes into our game I would have agreed with them. Then reality slapped us upside our heads. Maybe I can reverse jinx us but I don't know how we are going to be able to (1) generate any kind of run game whatsoever or (2) keep Ewers from passing for 400 yds and 5 TDs. So our QB with some kind of injury to his shoulder is going to have to figure out how to come up with 400-500 yds of offense and 45 points with his HC and OC making him run up the middle for at least 35 minutes of game time. I was just as convinced we'd get killed the year Tyler Cornelius was our QB and guaranteed you guys would kill us multiple times on here. Probably my greatest reverse jinx ever. So I'm down to relying on voodoo and black magic again. So here we go: I see no way we even stay competitive in this game. Texas will probably win 45-15. We have a pretty big advantage at kicker and I expect Gundy to spend all afternoon exploiting the hell out of that advantage. Fuck it. I'm calling it right now. Texas 45-18. Take that bitches! 6 FGs shoved right up your asses!

They don't know anything. Sure seems like he's injured though. At least that would explain whatever the hell we were doing Saturday. Maybe The Legend of Little Gundy beings Saturday.

People probably watched the final 50 minutes of the TCU game and think Texas can throw a forward pass and stop RBs running straight up the middle and are betting big on Texas. Pretty much all you guys need to do this week.

I’d probably think the same if I hadn’t watched us play.

We’re awful. You’ll beat us by 21points easy. Gundy will spend all day running up the middle

Good game Froggies. Better team won, that’s for sure. We are no doubt a pretender.

TCU is a better all around team than us dammit. Those first 8 minutes got my hopes up.

If we lose this game, it’s on Sanders and the O. Our pourous DBs are not the biggest problem today.

You finally got there. It’s a gray area that can be exploited by the D. Especially if you’re a bit disorganized like TCU is. We aren’t having that problem and we run up tempo too.

You’ll never admit it, but the refs did you a solid there.

That’s good right there

I think UT covers. ISU is gonna give a good fight for 30 min but get outmatched the last 30. 31-13.

Did RG III, who was born in 1990, just say he remembers watching Earl on Monday night football?

Still no reason to worry. Deep breaths.

As a neutral party watching this game, I can assure you nothing we’ve seen backs that up. Yet.
