  1. The problem with this plan is that the areas holding aggy back the most aren't the guys who would "up their play" for scouts tomorrow. The guys on that oline and calzada aren't suffering from lack of effort, they're just not very good (or not very good yet, for some of the young oline who might be players later). Maybe this works on defense and they play better, but they've not been awful on defense despite what Jimbo will tell you. They won at CO 10-7...defense isn't the issue. I see too many problems in critical roles on their team that won't be improved by guys "showing out for scouts." What's worse, if that's the mentality from the star players, those guys will completely fold once it's clear the game won't be competitive. Given Jimbo poked the bear with his "kick their ass" comments this summer, it will be interesting to see if Saban chooses to make a point once aggy gives up. Grab some popcorn, this could get ugly.
  2. I don't know, but I'm so glad they do. It's entertainment money can't buy (unless you count their $9m/year).
  3. On the upside, Todd Orlando wouldn't even have to move!
  4. It's cliche to say the winner in this game is the team who wants it more, but given examples like this it holds up. Plenty of years the teams should be much further apart on paper than how the game plays out. Now I'll wait for someone to make the obvious "who wants it more" joke about your mom.
  5. One subtle thing that's funny to note in texags propaganda these days is how much less they needlessly include "sec" in every sentence. Prior to the Texas/ou announcement, these things read like a madlibs where "sec" was used to fill in every blank. "Jimbo's sec offense is going to land us sec-ready studs who can survive the sec grind against sec defenses." They still use it now, but only in places where it makes sense, not obsessively. If nothing else, it shows that looch understands how to pander to that audience. The entire "people are weak" and "media has never warmed to Jimbo because he doesn't play their game"...you almost have to tip your cap to him because there's no way he actually believes this shit. He's just like Jimbo fake smiling as they hand him a blank national championship plaque. It has to be soul crushing to be permanently entangled with that level of desperation, but both of them have figured out how to monetize it well so you have to play along.
  6. Plus doesn't he lose a lot this year? Not jumping this year could mean another 2-3 years stuck with Jimbo. If I recall correctly Jimbo had a lot of staff turnover early based mostly on being an asshole to work with. Elko has to be watching that offense now and realizing last year was the best they're going to achieve. No reason to stick around now.
  7. There was a players only meeting that got so heated the coach had to step in and intervene? Ok.
  8. These lines make A haiku like ou Does not suck
  9. Boomer sooner plays Don't they know another song Fuck you eat a dick
  10. When Lincoln Riley's items don't scan correctly at check out, he always tells the cashier "I guess that means it's free!" and laughs.
  11. It's almost like Patterson has a history of trying to stir up controversy to distract from his team losing. Crazy.
  12. I don't even have to press play to know what this is. What an game changing moment that was. I was living in Seattle, so the game started at 9am PT and we'd been drinking at the exes watching since before 8am. No one was sure how good we really were, but ou had looked unstoppable that year with Bradford. Starting the second quarter the mood was starting to feel a bit dejected, right up until this play. That bar exploded and I can't imagine the momentum swing felt in the stadium or from the team. No doubt in my mind that absent one night in Lubbock, that 08 team was the best we've had since Vince, and that return from Shipley might have kicked off the confidence to play like it. What a fucking great game that was
  13. After Patterson lost his shit over smu, I was curious to see his post game comments on Texas. One frogs YouTube channel has been posting his post game interview each week...except this week. This week it's only players, no Patterson. Could be nothing, but after he embarrassed himself following smu, and knowing he likely wasn't happy following our game, I found not posting the video...interesting.
  14. Patterson's defense is notoriously confusing for QBs facing it for the first time. Colt was pretty damn good when he played TCU and had one of his worst outings in that game. If it becomes a trend with Casey against other defenses I'll worry more, but I'm not entirely surprised if he was hesitant and not trusting his eyes. He's still in his first few starts despite his years here, and Patterson lives off confusing QBs so they don't trust their eyes. Yes, it was smart of Sark to see that was happening and trust Bijan instead of forcing the issue.
  15. I'm sure it is difficult to try to keep that level of sexual assault under wraps.
  16. Lincoln Riley posts on Twitter as Rap Game Larry.
  17. "Meyer's move to the NFL was particularly surprising given he was previously expected to accept the head coaching role at The University of Texas. For weeks, fans on a Texas site tracked planes, analyzed hotel room curtains, interpreted squid emojis, and brought 'big dick energy' to believing Meyer would accept their job, but for all their efforts were only rewarded with a picture of Jesus caveman eating a McRib. Texas, meanwhile is 4-1 and trending up under new coach Steve Sarkisian, who as of the time at this reporting is not known to have engaged in any 'hands outside pants butt play' or other embarrassing behavior since taking the job."
  18. Lincoln Riley posted a "marked safe in the great Facebook outage of 21" meme on Facebook.
  19. Lincoln Riley, angered by how his brisket tweet was mocked, now cooks all his briskets in an air fryer. The trick, he says, is to thoroughly douse it in liquid smoke to give it that "real smoked flavor."
  20. He got the remake your staff year immediately following a you fucked up remaking your staff year. Otherwise known as the Charlie Strong plan. The odds of it ever working were tremendously low, but it's definitely not working. No way he gets another year unless the school just can't afford to drop him and hire someone new. I've always heard that LSU hurts for cash, but they always seem to find it for football when it's needed.
  21. I can't tell you the collective shock that this is the reaction from our resident OSU fans. Who could've seen this coming. You're right, though, it's no big deal. It's such a small deal that the story has struggled to gain any interest or traction and is probably juuuust about to blow over. Of course the players aren't mad. The players probably want to high five him. They're professional athletes. The guys who pay his salary and worry about things like pr, probably less high-fivey. It also might come back to haunt him the next time he has a player involved in a scandal. Kind of hard to preach about good decisions at the moment. I'm sure it will be fine, though. He basically has no history of players or assistants getting in legal or ethical trouble, so why would it start now?
  22. That's a bit chicken and egg, no? We likely had a 200 yard rusher bc Casey wasn't reading their defense well. That would mean the nearly 3 picks is directly responsible for the rushing total, rather than being a stat you'd be surprised to find paired with the total. I'm sure Sark is extremely happy with Bijan's output, but no way in hell did he want to wear him down that much the week before OU. He did what he had to do to win given how Casey was performing against good schemes by Patterson.
  23. This call and the 2 pt conversion call were both head scratchers. For a brilliant offensive mind, I was pretty excited to see what sark would have dialed up for a 4th and goal from 1 or a 2 pt conversion. I was only surprised by how vanilla and predictable both calls were.
  24. Bama fan: Never has a fan base talked so much shite with not a damn thing to show for it than Aggy. self-aware aggy: What are you talking about? We have a number of assorted cups.
