  1. Oklahoma State has to be the most schizo team I've seen this season. They go from beating the Land Thieves in Bedlam to forgetting to get on the damn plane against Central Florida. Hopefully we get the latter version if they manage to backdoor their way into the CCG.
  2. This. It's common for a lot of teams playing a team on the opposite coast to travel out a day early, just so they can acclimate to the time change. I haven't seen how the new Big Ten is going to schedule conference games, but having to do this as many as 3-4 times a year seems like it would get old, particularly when teams like Washington and Oregon have to go play teams like Rutgers and Maryland. The new Big XII will have similar issues with Arizona and Arizona State playing West Virginia and Cincinnati.
  3. Does he, by any chance, ride the short bus to work?
  4. Hillwood Airways is a charter airline used by a lot of schools to fly sports teams around. That same plane flew the aggy men's basketball team to Columbus on Thursday to play their game at Ohio State on Friday night, then flew the team back to Collie Station that same night after the game. I don't know what the plane was headed to Eugene for on Saturday, as I can't find any sporting events involving the Ducks in Philly this week. But flying some big cigars to Eugene would be a hell of a coincidence, especially considering that chartering a private jet to Eugene would be much cheaper than a 737. Then again, aggy has shown recently that they aren't exactly frugal with their money. So who the hell knows.
  5. Not a surprise. They're so desperate to be relevant, they don't think that their "big name" coach du jour would take their job if the contract had offset language in it. aggy is the college football equivalent of what happens when you let your kid who is addicted to Roblox use your credit card to buy Robux - to the tune of thousands of dollars.
  6. He's good. He generally makes good decisions and doesn't throw screen passes behind the LOS when guys are open in the flat, unlike a certain QB we all know and love. Whether his skillset will translate to the NFL is another matter - we shall see. Everybody thought Oregon was done after Herbert went to the NFL, then Nix came along. Lanning will probably pull someone else in via the portal after Nix graduates. It's kind of their thing.
  7. He should have loaned it out to the aggy "hall of champions" so they could see what actual championship trophies look like.
  8. So they just cosplay at being champions. That totally tracks.
  9. Phil Knight is worth over $40 billion. $75 million to a guy like Knight is a rounding error. If Phil Knight wants you to stay, he absolutely has the cash to make it happen.
  10. I'd support aggy poaching Rhule from Corn Aggy, if only to see the spectacular meltdown of Corn Aggy over a program like aggy poaching their coach. 50/50 chance Rhule would work out at aggy...I feel like I've seen this movie before, several times.
  11. I'll give him a pass for now, being his first year and all. But yeah, if he's still pulling this shit in year three, then Ohio State definitely made the right call.
  12. They seriously believe Ryan Day would leave Columbus for that shithole? Holy fuck they're even more delusional than I previously gave them credit for. That's practically Jim Jones level of cult delusion. Though Luke Fickell might have taken that call a year ago when he was still at Cincinnati...he's the dude Ohio State passed over for the HC gig, if memory serves.
  13. Having had a day to digest this news, I'm not really surprised. The only thing that really surprised me was the timing. They could have waited out the remaining two games and cut Jimbo loose, and nobody would have batted an eye, other than that ridiculous payout. On the other hand, I gotta give Jimbo a lot of credit. He fleeced those gomers for a dollar amount I previously wouldn't have thought possible. The man could go buy an island in the South Pacific, surround himself with hula girls, and never work another day in his life with all the money aggy has to pay him now. My heart tells me that anyone who takes that job is a damn fool. But then my head realizes that it's the easiest con in the world. Just convince those gomers you're worth a damn, get hired, halfass your way through the job, and then collect Fuck You money on your way out the door. How do I sign up for that gig? At the end of the day, aggy gonna aggy. It's what they do. You can set your watch to it.
  14. Might have something to do with TCU targeting our players with dirty plays all night - especially the Brooks tackle where the defender twisted his knee. But I'm just speculating here.
  15. I was pretty annoyed at the time, but shit, you're 100% correct here.
  16. Not a surprise, Dusty Dvoracek is a fucking Sooner. He'd root for Nazi Germany if they were playing against the Longhorns. I had the TV on mute for much of the game, much more pleasant viewing experience...aside from Texas shitting the bed in the second half.
  17. Glad we won, but holy fuck that second half was infuriating. 3 points by the O? We're damn lucky we didn't lose.
  18. Yeah...we don't really do that here.
  19. 2nd and 16, let's call a run right into the teeth of the TCU D line. Just fucking shoot me now, it will be less painful than watching this play out.
  20. How the fuck did this team beat Alabama? They wouldn't beat Blinn Junior College the way they're playing right now.
  21. Ewers throwing the ball short of the sticks to a receiver who was double covered? Feels like I've seen this movie before.
  22. Just once I'd like a game where I don't have to fucking stress out in the second half. I know...if you don't love Sarkball, then you don't love this...
  23. Huge FG there by Auburn.
  24. BRB, stealing one of those burnt TCU weenies as a burnt offering for Brooks.
