It's not cherry picking when the thesis of the post you were responding to was that the recent strength of the SEC is actually Saban, doofus.
You also might want to look up what the phrase "fueled by" means in this context while you're working on your reading comprehension. Isn't Georgia supposed to be one of the decent schools in the SEC? -

With Bama, UGA and aggy in the mix, i am sure there will be some bags lobbed in somewhere. My hope is that the Evans' aren't those kind of people.
Meh, at this point I think we should just have a Be Like Dickerson message for top recruits. Fuck it, take their shit, then sign with us. That way you get paid and the program you're going to has no risk of penalties. What are the SEC schools going to do, turn themselves in?

Yeah but it has 20% of the views of our most-viewed thread (2019 Recruiting Notes)

Like OkSt, WVU will be breaking in a new quarterback (and possibly a new coach if the UH rumors are true). WVU has looked pedestrian without Grier, and we will be favored. Our team will want to leave no doubt this year after the way WVU conducted themselves last year in Austin. No doubt that Ehlinger has this one circled on his calendar.
Yeah, I don't think those are rumors anymore.

you can try a pop up/pooch kick but a smart special team guy will just call for the fair catch and you get the ball at the 25 yd line now. its kind of made the pooch kickoff useless. given that the penalty was 15 yards and we were kicking from the 50 I believe it was a good chance to take. for what would be 15 yards of field position
Ah, good point. Forgot about that, but of course as you note it only makes the onside kick more obviously the right call.

58-32-4
Without Missouri it is 40-26-4.
Without Vanderbilt (I mean let's be serious, they're not a real SEC school, right?) it's 37-18-3.

Yeah the announcers were pretty stupid about the onside kick. I mean if we've practiced popup kickoffs in just that situation and think we can pin them inside the 10 that's one thing. But if your kicker can't do that then the cost benefit analysis on an onside kick in that position is absolutely in favor of trying it. You are taking a shot at stealing a possession with the downside being 10-15 yards of field position. Expected onside kicks are recovered at around a 20% clip while surprise onsides are actually over 50% (which means that they are way underutilized). So call this one somewhere around 35% probability of recovering.
Extremely easy and correct call to try the onside kick.

Your source is that Arkansas and Texas A&M were long time conference mates.
However, I just looked it up and I've got us at 190-91-9 against SEC teams. Looks like Phlegm left out Missouri, Vanderbilt, and two other ties from somewhere.

I stated earlier in this thread, of the last 10 non-Bama national champions, 5 still came from the SEC. The next closest conferences have 2 each.
Good job counting the two Saban-fueled titles at LSU he already mentioned.
Of the last 10 non-Saban national championships, 3 came from the SEC.

The SEC hype machine will go into overdrive this offseason. When that conference feels a competing narrative they send out the signal to all their mouthpieces to really go overboard with their bullshit.
In the 2013 and 2014 seasons the SEC went 0-5 in top tier bowl games. In the 2015 offseason the SEC knob slobbing was even more unbearable than usual. They ended up with 3 teams in the preseason top 10 and 8 teams in the top 25.
So be ready for it.

No, just put their names in the portal. It's not nearly as final as putting in their official transfer paperwork.

Exactly. His "thought" basically boils down to this:
The playoff committee is really bad at ranking teams, so we should probably trust them to get the top 4 right.
-
On the first day of the offseason a day after winning the Sugar Bowl there's no reason not to be optimistic. Therefore I am confident in saying that I don't think we will get worse at linebacker and in fact think we could see better production there, especially once we get to around the halfway point of the season.

To be fair he said he mumbled it, never said the Georgia players heard it. @po elvis forgot he was on the internet, where we are all super badasses. He should have said that he stood up and got in the Georgia guy's face and said "Your defense got run all over and you're lucky those cops are here or I'd do the same thing to your punk ass right now!!!"

The most I'm willing to say is that our chances to play for a national championship heading into next year are higher than they've been before any season since 2009.
But that's not saying much. -
Orlando is not indispensable. He had a great game last night but there's not any question on whether he can handle an old school smashmouth offense. The question is whether he can handle a Big 12 season consistently. Once the dirty dime was figured out he has struggled to adapt against our conference opponents.
I'm certainly not saying he hasn't done a good job overall, but he's also not going to get to go up against such a simple offense very often.

Even with the shitshow at the end, this game was officiated much better/cleaner than a big 12 game. Hell, with a big 12 game, we would have had 4 or 5 trainwrecks like the personal fouls at the end, missed calls, blown calls, and calls where they fuck up both the verbalization and the penalty yardage.
The biggest difference is last night, until the end, I didn't even notice the officials. With a big 12 game, they're almost the focal point with their incompetence.
Other than that the big complains is that once again we somehow were held only once the entire night, even in this game where our DL was having their way with their OL at times.
This is a major issue in college football to me right now, and is a huge factor in offenses taking over the game. They seriously need to address this at a national level. It used to be you could get away with holding inside the defender's frame and everyone knew that, but nowadays blockers engage defenders by grabbing the outside of their shoulder pads. That is holding and it should be called until it stops.

Is he talking about the dog that has a proven history of attempting to bite people at games, including opposing players?

I long for the days our fans can enjoy the victory instead of worrying about who is validating them. Most here weren't even predicting a win. Anyone watching the game knew that Kirby was making a rhetorical statement. If Georgia wasn't motivated, or was depressed about being left out of the playoffs, they had ample opportunity to decline the Sugar Bowl invite. We whipped them on a neutral field in a pretty fairly called game by the refs.
Except for that last targeting call being upheld so now one of our starting corners next year misses the first half of the Louisiana Tech game. That was clear shoulder-to-shoulder contact by Cook. Yes it was late after the slide started so it was a late hit personal foul, but it was not targeting.

Just now, MaybeACoordinator said:
In his $9.95, Chip Brown says he was in the crowd of people scrambling for safety. Maybe Bevo knew this and that was his real target.
You're just trying to find out if it's possible for Bevo to be even more popular on a Texas message board. Well, sir, you succeeded.

Kirby was a sometimes very good DC, I didn't think he was a genius. He is a great recruiter but the jury is still out on him as a great head coach, and I haven't seen anything to convince me he is. Was Mel tucker still on Georgias sideline? He is usually on the sideline instead of the booth. Looked like Kirby was calling the defense, if so UGA got Kirbyed. He is great at giving up 3rd and longs, although Texas didn't get in too many of them. Georgia got straight up whipped. Oklahoma may be looking up at a new conference standard bearer as early as next season.
Yeah, about that...

That's actually a great argument for an 8-team playoff. Probably as good an argument as can be made.

Mayfield is a douchebag loser who acts like an insecure teenage girl, but he did win three conference championships.
No, I don't care about the Heisman but I do care about conference championships.
