  1. It's easy to laugh at OU right now, but remember this - however bad it looks right now, it's likely coming for us even worse. It will not surprise me if this league does whatever is necessary to prevent us from winning it on the way out. Anything. It might be Iowa State on the road. They might let us get to the actual championship to draw more eyeballs and have one of the remaining teams make a "statement" against a departing team. But it's coming. I think we have the first team in over a decade that probably SHOULD win the conference...and I'm 100% thoroughly convinced the league will not allow it to happen. So laugh at OU now, but know that these missed calls may be an every down kind of thing in one of our upcoming games. We're better than every remaining team on the schedule, but if they can tackle receivers every play along with the blatant holding that's already allowed, it won't matter much.
  2. I don't think Murphy played a great game, but a reasonable one when accounting for the situation. However anyone blaming him for the fumble is being silly. The play is slow developing and designed for him to turn his back to that side and make a throw. I love Brooks, but he whiffed the block on a play where whiffing the block gets your QB blown up almost by design. Would a more experienced QB have secured the ball more quickly? Maybe. But I'm not blaming MM for trusting the defender would be at least slowed enough for him to execute the play.
  3. They can't really be this dumb, can they? I know aggy are not smart, but none of them actually believe Jimbo will walk away from +$70M because he "respects the university"...right???
  4. Maybe he meant Bill Brasky
  5. I can think of one other week we passed USC in the standings...
  6. Some of you guys are really letting yourselves get pulled in by wins over bad Arkansas and Auburn teams. If you've actually watched any of those games, you will know that aggy has some talented players but they are a bad, bad team. Can Bama fuck around and let aggy win? Sure. If Bama plays like they did against Ole Miss, no way in hell is aggy winning, much less "punishing" Bama. Come on.

  8. I legit think it might be ego about his scheme. Given their allocation of "NIL" funds, it's clear he values dline. The only thing I can come up with about clearly undervaluing oline is that he believes his scheme can work without superstar oline. If there's anything Jimbo has proven in his time at aggy, it's a stubborn belief that his scheme is what they need to win despite ample evidence to the contrary. It just feels like the guy has tunnel vision on everything with his offense outside of that cheesecake factory menu playbook.
  9. The fact that Billy "nothing to see here" Luicci and Texags is scrubbing the posts kind of confirms it for me.
  10. If Johnson is named the permanent starter this season, one of the aggy threads needs a rename to "full gorth Johnson."
  11. Next year, it would be 5 sec and 5 big 10. If anyone has questions about whether college football is going to start looking a lot more like the AFC and NFC...
  12. Reads the entire press conference thread...
  13. At least against Auburn I thought he looked better. Weigman may be talented, but he still looks a little shell shocked and didn't seem to see the field well. Johnson's experience at least showed in that suddenly there were a lot more open guys than there had been with Weigman. Now, I hope he looks awful going forward, but any aggy excuses about the dropoff going to the backup are going to be pretty hard to defend based on the Auburn game.
  14. I haven't watched them but have seen the scores. I was curious also and found a fairly in depth write up on them this season if you're interested. Spoilering here to save you the click:
  15. A guy who looks like Ryan Day should probably avoid using the phrase "I love these kids" so emphatically.
  16. It honestly would not matter. Auburn is one of the worst P5 teams I've ever seen, particularly on offense.
  17. Lots of discussion in this thread about what an strange cat Aranda seems to be, in that "why do you appreciate everything so much" and "is he an average guy or a closet axe murderer" kind of way. I've always enjoyed coaches who are outside of the normal mold and seem like they have no business in the profession. That said, this guy comes across as equally ill fitted to college coaching as Mike Leach, only without any of the interesting or endearing qualities. Not hard to imagine why he struggles to get a team fired up and build a culture. I nearly fell asleep listening to him talk about likely the biggest game he'll play this season.
  18. If tech started putting "Texas Raiders" on their uniforms, aggy would mock them without a hint of irony.
  19. "We never have nor will we ever get a fair shake from the liberal media" - Texags after ESPN cut away from the last four minutes of their blowout win over ULM
  20. [Tex] South Alabama is probably better than tu this year [/ags]
  21. I didn't even post mine to doxx him (it's relatively easy to find if you search him). I'm simply not surprised a Nebraska resident might want to see Texas lose.
  22. I was today years old when I learned that Big 12 referee Kevin Mar, lover of Texas football, is a resident of Omaha Nebraska.
