  1. When my daughter played youth soccer, the parents on the opposing team tried to show the ref (who was a teenager) their video after the game to show some of our team’s fouls, lol. He declined to watch it.
  2. Can someone please confirm whether the following info about the Big 12 is accurate? There a school in Lubbock or Amarillo There is a school in Houston, and possibly Galveston, too They play by the same rules as Canadian football, with giant end zones, plus they have that rule where you can punt the ball back to the team that just punted Deion Sanders is either a head coach, or maybe he is the commissioner They also go by the nickname of the Mountain West Boys, or something like that, and while it is preferred that their fields are painted blue, it is a guideline, rather than a rule They have several schools in the Brazos River District, and they all share a stadium in Waco Texas A&M University is currently petitioning to join the conference The Arizona State Miners won the Big 12 by beating either San Jose Sate or Fresno State in the Championship Derby held in Winnipeg, Canada
  3. My interaction with Clemson fans: Two Clemson fan straight out of Central casting sat behind us. They were beyond country. Their accents were so think I could barely understand them. They sat dispirited throughout the game and left with a quarter left in the game. Nothimg really to report. The ones in front of us were a different breed. They were normal-looking types, yet hyper-crazy fans. They were very polite to us, and very vocal and generated an incredible amount of noise whenever Texas was on offense. My ears are still ringing. They actually apologized for yelling and my wife and me told them, hey, this is a football game, yell away! They stood up the entire game, so we did as well, but we didn't mind. We quite liked them and had a lot of of fun with them. Apparently, they did have some interaction w a Texas fan two rows in front of them, cause they trash-talked him after a Clemson score. They also did that stupid, interlocking-arm celebration whenever something good happened for their team. I even congratulated them on various plays but they never reciprocated when Texas did well. Late in the game, the super-loud one (pictured above) made a comment about how our stadium couldn't match their entertainment level. As luck would have it, he said that just as the drone show started, haha. I tapped him on the shoulder and pointed for him to turn around and look up, and his jaw dropped. It was perfection! I liked how they would constantly get their hopes up, only to see them crushed, especially after the goal line stand. It was fun watching their body language during Blue's long TD run. They watched in horror as the play seemed to take forever, and you could tell that they knew they were cooked. Their shoulders dropped in sorrow as they finally accepted their fate. It was beautiful. My younger daughter did snap this picture of an amazing-looking Texas fan. Not so much of a story here, but it was the perfect ending to an amazing day. IMG_5459.HEIC
  4. Yep. This. Like so many scam coaches we endlessly subjected to, like Herman, Jimbo, etc, Sanders can absolutely be a blowhard. Unlike those has-been (or in the case of Herman, never have-been) retreads, he understands what it takes to be a successful coach, keep his players focused and is charismatic enough to attract top players. More power to him.
  5. This post-game quote from a Clemson fan on tigernet.com reminds me of another program we all admire: "The officiating was horrid all night but it’s further proof that Clemson is irrelevant. All those talking about heart and playing their tails off and never giving up?? That’s what losers say to make them feel better."
  6. I will be sharing images from the game but I like this Tigernet.com quote from a Clemson fan who attended the game. "From what I saw, our home field advantage doesn't compare to what I saw this weekend. We've got some work to do in regard to fan engagement, music, pompoms, beverages, drone shows, lights, etc. Death Valley is not what it used to be unfortunately."
  7. This is the part where we laugh at the misery of Clemson fan. All quotes are from Tigernet.com. Faves are bolded. Enjoy!!!! "Just cut it to 8 teams. This is too much of an home field advantage, these games were a farce. Enough already." "This is supposed to be a HOME game for the home team. It’s no different than a regular season home game. It’s not a neutral site playoff game. Why are we bitching and moaning?" "From what I saw, our home field advantage doesn't compare to what I saw this weekend. We've got some work to do in regard to fan engagement, music, pompoms, beverages, drone shows, lights, etc. Death Valley is not what it used to be unfortunately." "ESPN is out to get us because Dabo is Christian." (I like this one a lot) "Sick of hearing about the first round blow outs. It's all part of the plan for the SEC and B1G to break away from NCAA and form a new money league. Like a semipro league modeled around profit instead of education." "After watching Texas several times this year I told them I actually thought you guys could beat them. I think being stopped on the 2 yard line, and then Texas scoring took a lot of air away. I even told my brother-in-law to bet on Clemson. Unfortunately, you caught them on a day they were running on all cylinders." "Not only is the home field a disadvantage but allowing less fans of the visiting team is as well, as is not making sure their entire Band is invited too." "You would think having a top notch soccer team on campus you could find someone to be a great punter." "Nothing like accepting another year of mediocrity and a few more steps closer to total irrelevance" "The officiating was horrid all night but it’s further proof that Clemson is irrelevant. All those talking about heart and playing their tails off and never giving up?? That’s what losers say to make them feel better. It’s the equivalency to a blind date with a girl with a great personality." "There has got to be some sort of penalty for intentionally false posts. Seems like this could be construed as libel."
  8. I would assume so. This from ESPN: Running back Jaydon Blue, who struggled with an ankle injury early in the season and missed the UTSA game, reeled off 38- and 77-yard scoring runs, both on audibles called by quarterback Quinn Ewers, who finished 17-of-24 passing for 202 yards with a touchdown and an interception.
  9. Fair points and obviously my post was also in jest. Last year, the KSU game went identically to this game, with Texas squandering a big halftime lead. Obviously, I blame you since your post is the common denominator.
  10. It’s weird that last night’s game went exactly like @closetojumping’s previous thread where he predicted that we would stomp a mudhole in Kansas States’s ass! So strange and completely unforeseeable, too! I can’t wait to read the upcoming thread about how we are going to stomp a mudhole in ASU’s ass!
  11. I don’t know much about the Big 12. Don’t they call it the Big Dumpster Fire? You can’t compare it to elite SEC teams like Texas A&M University. That school plays tough, SEC-styled football which in the best conference. And when an SEC teams inevitably wins the national championship, they feel pride to be in the same conference. That’s pretty badass.
  12. Wrong. ESPN has stated they expect the USC vs Aggy GoSupreme Lite Incontinence Adult Diapers Bowl will crush the playoffs in ratings.
  13. Really could have gone either way. All we had to do was hold them, score, get a turnover, score, get a turnover, score, get a turnover, score, and we’re right back in this game!
  14. Funny story. When the third quarter ended, the Clemson guy (whom I quite liked) turned to his friend and said, “they catch match our stadium”, referencing something that happens at their games. Then I pointed to the drones ( which he had missed) the music really kicked in and he was amazed.
  15. I think this is actually the golden era of college football. Interest never been higher than during this playoff season. Even with the blowouts, people are excited that more teams are being considered than the usual suspects.
  16. Quinn also audibled and called the running plays on both of our rushing touchdowns. That must really piss you off.
  17. Yeah we got rolled. Still had an amazing season and beat North Shore. Congrats to North Crowley. They deserved it.
  18. Someone call the police cause Westlake is being robbed!!!
  19. Despite the fact that @closetojumping has been trying to convince us that Cade Klubnik isn't a great QB, the guy can ball. He did everything he could to keep them in the game. Major props to my Westlake boy.
