  1. Honestly, 7 or 8 wins every year, an excuse (youth, difficult schedule, QB injury), and some small reason(s) for optimism is probably ideal. I hope they get every last minute of the Jimbo that they're paying for.
  2. Good God, what an embarrassment. Every single pause becomes a 20-second screaming match where not a single person is comprehensible.
  3. If UT get's a home field share of tickets and the left-behind gets a section in the corner of the upper deck, they yeah, maybe. (edit: What Magnus said)
  4. Andy Kim was the guy cleaning up the Capitol after Jan 6, right? I loved that photo so so much.
  5. Ohio State - ND with one or two snaps for the game, btw
  6. I was just thinking that I hadn't seen him.
  7. If Ford can force about 20 turnovers this year, he'll get runner-up DPOY to some UCF defensive end we've never heard of.
  8. time out here if you get a a stop
  9. I think the first throw is just a lateral (i.e. Ewers doesn't show up in the box score for that play).
  10. Just score. Chewing clock favors the underdog
  11. Yeah, if the Texas staff gives Baxter any more carries after that, they're not paying attention. Long season. Get him some rest.
  12. I had to look it up. Their collective 5 wins: UMass New Mexico Cal Samford UL Monroe
  13. Rarely does a 3-0 team look hopelessly inept in a contest with a terrible-looking 2-1 team.
  14. I didn't remember this scandal, but having read his wiki page, he seems like he was the perfect coach for Liberty: As part of discovery for the lawsuit, Nutt's attorneys filed a freedom-of-information request for calls Freeze made on his university-issued cell phone during January 2016. While reviewing those records, Nutt's attorneys discovered a call to a number associated with a female escort service, and alerted Ole Miss officials about it. Freeze claimed it was a misdialed number.[38] School officials investigated, and discovered what they later described as "a concerning pattern" of similar calls dating back to shortly after he arrived in Oxford:[39] at least a dozen calls over 33 months,[7][8] often made while Freeze was traveling on business trips using Ole Miss' private plane.[26]
  15. total yards: 99 to -1 Auburn lucky that it's a one-score game (Captain Obvious)
  16. Last time we were in Waco, we were up 4 late in the 3rd quarter, and our punter (Dicker?) got absolutely drilled after he got the kick away. Should have been 1st down Texas in Baylor's side of the field, with a chance to take a 2-score lead. And the worst part of it was watching the announcers replay it from every angle. "See! It was blocked!" (Replay shows it's not blocked. Ball goes 40+ yards in the air) "Well, you can't see the block, but it's definitely there, so let's watch to see if ball changes trajectory." (ball does not). "Well, the best way to tell would be to listen. Let's listen to see if there's a thump from a blocked kick." (sound of punter getting hit after the punt). "See! It was blocked. What a great play!"
  17. Cross posting from the Wyoming game thread... I just totally disagree when some people try to reduce this topic to "Generation (A) is like this, but generation (B) is like that." People of every age just want to have fun, feel the energy of a crowd, and have a shared experience. There want to feel like they are PART of something. They may not leave the house and articulate, "I want to have a communal, shared experience," but that's what they want. They can get that from Wabash Cannonball or from hiphop or from almost anything in-between. What the people at Bellmont absolutely do not understand is this: When you carpet-bomb the audience with obnoxious, deafening shit every single dead ball -and when you insist that 100,000 pairs of eyeballs direct themselves to the video screen - you're taking away your own home field advantage. Crowds are not capable of flipping a switch, where they go from passive consumers of the ****LOOK AT ME**** Jumbotron, and then suddenly becoming an active, vocal, cheering, involved part of the game. I've never seen a quieter, less-engaged 100,000 people than the ones who hardly stood, noticed, or cheered for the defense when Wyoming snapped the ball on a critical 3rd down in a tie ballgame.
  18. Yes, yes, yes. This is getting discussed on the "Gameday" thread, and most everyone there (and on this page) are saying the same things.

  19. In my experience, that will trigger a bunch of offers for $1.75.
