  1. Wait wait wait wait. Conflict at an event that is represented by folks from Detroit and Philadelphia?? Get the fuck outta here.
  2. https://youtu.be/avwCrgV7MKw
  3. As long as Jerry and Son are in charge, nothing will change. Jerry rather fail in charge than succeed with someone else calling the shots.
  4. We played like dog shit and yet found a way to win. Under Matt Wells we would play well for 3/4 of the Ganesh and then find a way to lose. I like this better.
  5. Don’t care. We won. UH was overrated and we played like shit. But I won’t fault the students for rushing the field after a win in 2OT. This shit is supposed to be fun. Have fun. Better than losing.
  6. As a Tech fan, I couldn't care less if we play Texas again as regular season non-conf opponents, in any sport. I'm not opposed to it, either. I guess I'm agnostic. Would rather play UT in the post-season anyway.
  7. Donovan Smith will start. He was 14/16 for 221 yards and 4 TD’s with no INT Saturday. He did that in less than 2 quarters. He played about 13 minutes of the second and about 7.5 minutes of the third.
  8. "Five dolla make you hollar" Translation: they use their teeth
  9. So did the expanded 12 team playoff just save the Pac 10? Does this put the kabash on the Big 12 poaching any of the 4-corner schools? Or does the regular season TV money still require the current PAC teams to rethink their lives?
  10. That's the damn argument university presidents and conference commissioners gave for decades as to why they wouldn't go to a playoff. I was simply trying to "address" their long-running "concern" that they spouted for years. Not saying that was my argument (because look at basketball, baseball, etc.) So when they went from 4 to 12, it didn't make sense based on what they've told us in the past. One thing I didn't throw in that I should have included is that the additional round will make it cost-prohibitive for fans, namely the current students and recent grads, to go to all the games should their team advance. Hopefully they will not try and use the bowls for this until the final 4 so that it would be somewhat reasonable for people to attend the early rounds.
  11. Eight made the most sense, worked out to include highest ranked conference champions, and doesn't water down regular season or make the playoffs too long for the student athletes. So of course, the presidents chose 12. All they care about is money.
  12. Hollee sheet. From MVP to Doghouse in one play.
  13. Um, George, you're not invited. That store closed its doors to you last year.
  14. I admit I don't watch F1. I'm just more curious is those leagues have the same amount of standardization that NASCAR employs. I would just like to see what the racing would be like if teams had more freedom on car set-up.
  15. I think NASCAR should scrap all of the rules that put restrictions on car set-up, engines, etc. If they want to make their product less boring, and let's be honest, it's become pretty boring, they need to let the teams make any and all modifications they want. Stipulate only the safety requirements, the manufacturer's body design and dimensions, and that the engine parts have to be from the manufacturer, and that's it. Then let's see what these teams could really do if they had the shackles removed, and I guarantee you the product they would put out there would be infinitely more entertaining. Does F1 and Indy have such strict standardizations? I honestly don't know...but it sure seems like there is more variation in performances in those leagues.
  16. Cut him some slack...he appears to only be about 14-15 years old.
  17. This. What he didn’t say is how many conversations he’s had with his president.
  18. So basically the NIL contract will become the new collegiate free agency control mechanism.
  19. Tennis will lead the way.
  20. Hey Nate, why do you hang out at Surly? Me: For commentary such as this.
  21. Interesting development...no mention of CU or ASU. Haven't seen UDub mentioned w/o Oregon until now:
  22. I like the Double T scoreboard because we've had a Double T scoreboard in the south ez my entire life, so I'm glad they are going to keep that bit of history going, albeit with a new and modern version. I remember my first game at age 7 just starting at it and thinking it was the coolest scoreboard in the world. I agree with you on the video boards.
  23. Bell towers. It's kind of our thing.
