Texas vs. Michigan - 11am on Fox
Also, I just had a chance to re-watch the game, and it was even more of an ass-kicking than I remembered. I mean, two possessions into the 3rd Q, and Texas had 24 points while Michigan had 10 yards of offense. That's the kind of box score disparity you see when a great team plays Southwestern Tallahassee Night School... except we did it on the road against the defending national champion. Crazy.

ESPN Channels and Disney owned ABC affiliates pulled from DirecTV right now
Hmmm. I sign up for everything using a gmail account, but maybe that's it. Maybe ESPN isn't defaulting to gmail once it verified my cable provider. It's probably been a decade since I set it up.

ESPN Channels and Disney owned ABC affiliates pulled from DirecTV right now
I tried to use the ESPN app on my phone to watch one of the late games yesterday, and it blocked me. In the past, the app has asked who my cable provider was (it's ATT). So even though I had turned off the wifi on my phone and was using a cell signal, it *STILL* gave me an error message saying, "your provider is not available" or something like that. In other words, just because they're having a fight with the company that gives me cable television, they decided to completely block **all** ESPN access on my phone EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T AT HOME AND WASN'T USING ANY ATT WIFI. Such bullshit. I feel like this could be cross-posted in the "great enshittening" thread.

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Yeah, he's pretty clearly grinding an axe. I think he was one of two people who had Notre Dame ahead of Texas last week... which was already absurd had you watched either of those teams play.

2024 Random Games thread
Last week vs Aggies, the network was putting up ND schedule, and pointed out "favored in every game the rest of the way!!!" It was laughable in real time. Anyone who had watched that game would have projected 2 or 3 losses, minimum.

Worst call since the Oregon onsides kick?

Gus Johnson sucks
Klatt has been generous when speaking of us for a long time now. He has a ton of affection for Sark, and for Sark's support of his sobriety.

The importance of the portal
Both teams in playoffs last year. Michigan sends 13 guys to NFL. Texas sends 11. Only one of these two teams looked "gutted" (as described by ESPN). We went out and completely reloaded our WR room. Added Mukaba, who was everywhere today. I know coaches must hate having to recruit every player in the country in every off-season (including their own roster), but since teams have to address their *immediate* needs every off-season, it's gonna be only slightly less consequential than recruiting high school kids.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Yeah, Michigan was "gutted" by the draft, but apparently we weren't.

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
That's rough. In one of Mack's first few years, I think we played UCLA, Nebraska, and K-State... at one point it was like 3 of the top 4 in the AP poll, and maybe all of them on the road (I may be getting the year/teams slightly off, but it was something like that). Whatever it was, the OU schedule this year is pretty rough.

I'll be brave and take a (probably wrong) stab: First one has a little more low mids, so I'll guess that's the Ash Deluxe(?)

TCU at Stanford, 9:30 on ESPN
Never has a team failed upwards on their first drive more than this. Starting with running the kickoff out of the end zone and getting KO'd. Bunch of gifted 3rd down penalties. Losing half a mile on a laughably bad reverse. Fumbling forwards to your own guys. Touchdown.
