    A dollar! How the fuck should we know?

    I doubt they even come up with it most of the time. I suspect the producers have some hot takes prepped in advance and it's just somehow decided who among the on-air talent is going to be in charge of arguing which idiotic thing.

    As I think someone already pointed out, it is literally their job to say wild shit so as to allow for vigorous argument and make the viewer at home say oh my god somebody better tell this idiot he's an idiot! Sensible people saying sensible things and agreeing with each other isn't a show. E: At least Finebaum kind of owns it, and makes the audience the spectacle. "I'm gonna poke these rubes with a stick for a while and then we'll all have a good laugh when they call in to holler about how mad they are."

    So when I said you have only yourself to blame for exposing yourself to stupid shit, your defense was that you were reading TexAgs?

    If you watch things featuring sports talking heads other than actual sports games, that shit is entirely on you
  7. Thermos H. Christ
    Oh my god who could possibly care? The point of all those shows is they sit around debating their takes strictly designed to get idiots riled up. That’s his job now and he’s doing it, and anyone who tunes in for that shit is far more to blame than him for the existence of Hot Sport Takes Punditry.

    It took me a few listens to fully appreciate it but the new Swearin' album is fantastic. Three years ago the band broke up following the end of the romantic relationship between the two singers/guitarists/songwriters, Alison Crutchfield and Kyle Gilbride. The reunited version of Swearin' makes more space for Gilbride. His voice and his style feature prominently on the album, and you can feel that both people are bringing in material that grew out of the time spent apart. The switching back and forth between them creates this tension and variety between the songs that makes the album more as a whole than the sum of its parts. The two singles are probably as good a place to start as any (other than starting at the beginning and listening through). Each video has an intro where they explain it works better with 3D glasses, you can skip that part.

    I hope LJH and/or Heard got a couple. Either of those dudes can run or pass in a tricky play situation.

    I think the contract extension actually reduced his buyout even as it increased his theoretical term under the contract. I think it was mostly for appearances, to convince potential recruits that the coaching situation was stable.

    I see no reason that Navy should ever wear anything but these or a "dress blues" equivalent with the same helmet and pants for home games. e: like this but as a football uniform:

    lol are you serious

    You're on your own as far as how to bring down a beastly running back with a head of steam, but you can't get a targeting penalty in that situation as long as you keep your facemask pointed where you're going instead of dropping your head and leading with the crown.

    If the draw is watching great players, amateur sports may not be for you

    6-1

    Thermos H. Christ replied to Xcalibur's topic in Football

    Even assuming we have Sam and he's somewhere close to 100%, with no other major losses to injury, WVU and ISU are not looking like easy outs at all. Plus it's college football so inexplicable losses just happen.

    Hey now Genki Sudo and WORLD ORDER are awesome, I will not sit idly by as a high quality street theater dance troupe led by a retired MMA fighter is besmirched

    I don't think Shane is that good at making the 5-10 yard throws in tight-ish windows that Sam does pretty well, which is a problem in this offense. He used to be able to drop deep balls on a dime and I doubt he has permanently lost that ability. Frankly I think the strategy yesterday was pretty much right on for making the best of his skillset and the pieces we have around him - hand it off a lot to sustain drives and force them to defend the run, then look for big home-run shots downfield every so often and hope that one out of every X attempts nets us a big play or a score. Although I think we could probably run him more too (I know we did it some, but still). After all, Tom Herman's most celebrated accomplishment was a season spent murdering QBs and just plugging another one in to do the same thing whenever one went down. I guess maybe we did see LJH did get a couple of auditions for that Greg Ward/Braxton Miller WR/QB role.

    The red and the blue on the field together looks so awesome in that game. It seems like if the home team approves whatever the other team wants to wear, they should be allowed to wear it. Texas in orange and white against Tech in black and red or Baylor in green and gold wouldn't be confusing at all. Obviously you wouldn't want both sides wearing home jerseys in a Bama-Arky game, but it seems like common sense could prevail.

    Oh also expand the playoff to 8, with autobids for P5 champions and the top G5 team plus 2 at-large spots. Easy. I swear college football has to be the only sport where so many people actively root against underdogs and hate the idea of cinderella teams being allowed to crash the party.
  20. Thermos H. Christ
    I would be excited about watching Texas beat OU in a fucking sinkhole that opened up under a garbage dump. Nobody's talking about moving the annual game to Jerryworld, There's no need to choose between the two. Beating OU twice is better than beating OU once.
  21. Thermos H. Christ
    If you can't get excited at the prospect of going back to Dallas and beating OU again it's hard for me to accept the premise that you are a fan of Texas or even college football.

    I swear to god I saw the thread title and clicked to say that I have it on good authority that he is a terrible/negligent dog owner. I assumed that was not going to be the subject of the thread.
  23. Thermos H. Christ
    I don't see it. If they had edged us out by a field goal after we mounted an epic comeback, then we fired our hypothetical terrible DC and made it all the way to the CCG, I'd be thrilled to get another shot at them.
  24. Thermos H. Christ
    I typed SECCG when I meant B12CG. That's it.

    I will be disappointed but not very surprised to see us lose basically any game left on the schedule outside of Kansas. I'm not convinced we've broken the habit of playing to our competition, and as happy as I am with what I see at the moment, Tom Herman has some history of dropping random games. In 2015 he went 13-1 culminating in a defeat of FSU at the Peach Bowl, but the loss was to UConn. In 2016 he started out with a win over an OU team that would finish #5 even with that loss. Then he got clobbered by friggin SMU. SMU!! Mind you, if we lose two more games in the regular season and win a bowl game, that's still our best season since Colt and an obvious huge step forward from where we've been. 10 wins! Can you even imagine?
