  1. This. Forget everything else. If Louisville wins, we're in. If they lose, we're out.
  2. Good for WVU for not making stupid decisions because they won 8 games.
  3. So is "don't worry about receiver" the new "don't worry about the numbers"?
  4. There's all this talk about how weak the ACC and Pac 12 are, but OSU is in the Big 12 championship game after getting completely humiliated by South Alabama and UCF.
  5. Freeman has 9 wins in each of his first two years and could reach 10 with a bowl win. His seat isn't even warm.
  6. Note to self: Never ask Not a Sock to recommend hot chicks...
  7. This is where I'm at. It all comes down to us and FSU. If FSU wins, we're out. If they lose and we win, we're in.
  8. He fits the profile the need to fill. He was once good enough that they could get excited about the possibility of future success, no matter how unlikely. Has no viable alternatives so would take the job. It seems like a match made in heaven.
  9. Luckily for aggy, there isn't one agent with a near monopoly on top tier coaches who knows first hand what went down between them and Stoops.
  10. That's how I feel about the argument that being the full time play caller is somehow unrelated to questionable game management. He's the head coach - game management is his job.
  11. I usually had rah rah shit like Herman's gold teeth and row the boat, but I love that Sark sent Sweat and Murphy out for the coin toss and then made the team listen to Yormark clips in the locker room. This team has a ton of talent, but hasn't consistently played with an edge. That hasn't been a problem the last two weeks.
  12. I agree. We've consistently had DTs improve year over year. Sweat had questions about his motor and weight as recently as last year and now he's on On3's heisman list.
  13. That's not how Tech (or aggy) is wired. They don't have letdown games against Texas. Unfortunately for them, being motivated usually isn't enough to win in Austin.
  14. Cheerleaders out front shoulda told ya

    9-1

    Early in the season it was the opposite. In fact the talking heads were saying how we get stronger as the game goes on and win the 4th quarter. I don't know exactly what happened since then but I'm reasonably sure attrition through injuries plays a part. People compare UT's close games to Georgia against Auburn or South Carolina, etc. The difference is that Georgia starts slow and and then turns it on and pulls away. They outscored South Carolina 21-0 in the second half and outscored Auburn 17-3 in the last 16 minutes of the game. Michigan has had some slow starts and then blow out their opponents. That's a "normal" pattern when dominant teams play cupcakes. Texas is just weird this year.
  16. Jimbo's got some free time this weekend.
  17. Which game would you say he's been elite this year?
  18. He needs to let someone else call plays. When things start going wrong, he can't problem solve on his own.
  19. I have had this same thought. How can he be so good at taking away other teams' strength and then struggle against what should be their weakness? Holding KSU to 30 yards rushing should have been a blood bath and then Howard has a career passing day. PK struggles after he gets exactly what he wants.
  20. This. I don't know what folks were expecting. MM looked amazing until midway through the second quarter, made some spectacularly poor decisions and melted down. That's what you'd expect from a redshirt freshman with 1 career start. Look at KSU's freshman QB. He threw one pass that probably should have been intercepted and didn't play again. Arch would have had his share of WTF plays had he started. There's a reason coaches avoid playing freshman QBs if at all possible.
  21. I'm 48 and creakier than I used to be. Every time Brooks gets up after being tackled, he looks like me getting off the floor. I can't tell when he's hurt and when he's just doing his old man standing up impression.
  22. I'd trade their season last year for ours in a heartbeat. So sure, I'm jealous of their season. Just not their coach, team, city, future, etc.
  23. Wasn't this supposed to be Tech's year?
