  1. It's cringe... feels like we are fishing for compliments
  2. Asked ChatGPT to take us to the future: #4 Texas Longhorns Previous ranking: 5 As the 2024 college football season concludes, the Texas Longhorns, despite an undefeated record, SEC Championship, and National Championship title, find themselves ranked fourth. This placement may be surprising, especially given their top spot in both the Coaches’ and AP polls. The reasons behind this ranking are complex, involving performance nuances and comparisons to rivals like the Texas A&M Aggies, who sit at number three. The Longhorns’ Season of Contradictions While the Longhorns have achieved greatness this season, their ranking reflects some underlying concerns. Quarterback Quinn Ewers, despite his talent, struggled with inconsistency, throwing critical interceptions that raised concerns about his decision-making in high-pressure situations. These issues overshadowed what could have been a smoother campaign. Meanwhile, Arch Manning showed flashes of brilliance, but overall offensive cohesion remained elusive. The rushing attack was a particular area of concern, as Texas allowed nearly a yard more per carry than their season average against weaker opponents. With a PPA/rush of just 0.028 in key matchups, the run game fell short of expectations, casting doubts on their ability to perform against top-tier defenses. Defensive Resilience or Opportunistic Play? The Longhorns’ defense has excelled against weaker teams, boasting strong statistics in yards per attempt allowed and third-down conversions. However, these numbers may not tell the whole story. Against more capable offenses, Texas struggled to maintain dominance. There’s a sense that defensive shortcomings could become a vulnerability in crucial matchups, especially against elite competition. The Aggies’ Justification for #3 By contrast, the Texas A&M Aggies have earned their #3 ranking through consistency and improvement. Despite a rocky season, the Aggies have shown growth, particularly in developing their offensive identity. A dominant performance in the Swamp highlighted their ability to adapt under pressure, even with backup quarterbacks. A&M’s offensive line has improved significantly, fueling their run game and stabilizing the passing attack. Even with uneven quarterback play, their defense has tightened, particularly against the run, making it difficult for opponents to find rhythm. Their losses have become learning experiences, positioning them well for future challenges. A Complex Narrative Reflected in the Rankings The Longhorns’ #4 ranking, despite their championship success, underscores the complexity of college football rankings. Their season was undeniably impressive, but inconsistencies raised questions about their readiness to consistently compete at the highest level. Meanwhile, the Aggies' steady improvement and resilience earned them the #3 spot, ahead of their rivals. Conclusion As the 2024 season wraps up, the Texas Longhorns will view their #4 ranking as both a challenge and an opportunity for growth. Their undefeated record and championship titles are undeniable, but addressing their inconsistencies is key to solidifying their status among college football’s elite. On the other hand, the Texas A&M Aggies have proven their adaptability and deserve their #3 ranking, setting the stage for an exciting rivalry and the continued evolution of Texas football.
  3. Penix is Him. And those WRs make it near impossible to stop them. I actually question the play calling.. seems like that offense should not have been in so many close games.
  4. Who thought those Oregon uniforms were a good idea 🤮
  5. Just supreme leader? .. You stand in the presence of Immamac Shaggyborn of house Surly, rightful heir to the CFP Champion Forum Throne, rightful King of the Horns, and the First Men, Protector of the Sullied, the Father of NIL, the Khaeesi of the Great Turf, the Unsober, the Breaker of aggy.
  6. I prefer the "Well THE university...." approach.
  7. I thought the part where he admits it was him laughing that set off the Bo Davis rant in '21 was hilarious (starts around 29 mins)
  8. In this instance it's literal. He's asking aggy for a cap to fill out his table for when he announces.
  9. Yeah, as much as we may not like it, Georgia is the only team that's in the CFP no matter what happens next week. Which means we need Alabama and FSU to lose.
  10. This is one way to spin it: https://x.com/WakeEmUp9/status/1728642470144258109?s=20
  11. Yep.. wait till you hear about how Saban's left several voicemails
  12. You lot are so behind. Prepare yourselves for the genius mastermind, aggy! In the underground lair of secret negotiations, aggy has been cooking up a plan so slick it makes James Bond's gadgets look like child's play. The 4D chessboard is set, the pawns are in motion, and the execution is smoother than a penguin on ice. Move over, Ted Lasso, because aggy's about to drop a bombshell in the world of sports strategy. Forget football coaches – we're talking soccer maestros turning American football into a symphony of touchdown dances. There's a british premier league coach on the way, thats all I can say for now.. (hint: turn on your flight trackers from Liverpool to CS). The cherry on top? Apple is about to dip into its deep pockets to cover Jimbo's payout with the proceeds from the super mega hit documentary. Stay tuned, because the sports world is about to get a makeover, and Aggy's the designer-in-chief!
