  1. I just don't see how you can pick this one without knowing the unknowable - what's the Quinn Ewers ankle injury going to look like? The guy couldn't move or throw the ball in the second half on Saturday. If he's anywhere near that impacted this week it's gonna be a bad time. If he can tape it up, take some ibuprofen, and be more or less fine then I actually like the matchup for the most part.
  2. Hm. I've been feeling the same but if Ketch and Looch agree then clearly I'm missing something and Hill does not actually deserve consideration.
  3. It's giving no name ISU OL that called out Sweat/Murphy
  4. He is perhaps quicker/shiftier but not faster than Taylan Green and he is no more elusive in a phone booth than Pavia. I'm not saying this to denigrate him. He's played well for a freshman. I think A&M hit on him and he'll be a good QB for them the next three years. We're not talking about the second coming of Michael Vick though, and again I don't think he's bringing anything the defense hasn't shown to be capable of handling. Which, by the way, props to PK, Nansen, and staff on that. Mobile QBs have been a pin in the ass for Texas for the past few years and they clearly worked to address that.
  5. Lmao what no it still is. Even if you have the tin foil hat on and think it's Arch from here on, Arch could use the reps and you're never more than one play from having to go back to Ewers, so you don't exactly want him out there at higher risk of further injury.
  6. Unless, you know, he gets the ever-loving fuck knocked out of him on a missed block or something because because he has the mobility of a drunken, overweight 50 year old in the stands and, say, breaks some ribs. There was just no upside to leaving him in and it was coaching malpractice.
  7. Klien was arguably the MVP of the K State game for Texas last year. Without him calling that game there's a real chance Texas doesn't go to the CFP. I don't see anything to worry about there.
  8. Probably top 3-4 but that's more about Texas having played some hilariously bad QBs. I don't think he presents anything the defense hasn't seen between Van Buren, Hawkins, Beck, Pavia, or Green.
  9. Not going to happen. We're 11 games in. The team is what it is, for better and worse. That goes for both sides. This game will go as Ewers, the Texas OL, and the Texas LBs go. I don't think there's much A&M can do if Texas plays well and I don't think there's much Texas can do if Ewers is still gimpy and Sark leaves him out there.
  10. Co-signed on Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin. Service academies never really occurred to me but would be cool. Would add: Run it back with USC, more interesting than reprising with ND Colorado Arizona Minnesota Northwestern Pitt UVA You could maybe talk me into UNC Boise State if they reestablish themselves as the G5 helmet school.
  11. It's not the worst matchup in the world but it's also not the best. I think the game gets condensed and the scoreline is close-ish. Some brief meltdowns in the game thread although the outcome is never seriously in doubt. Texas: 27 Kentucky: 14 Combined yardage: 616
  12. Agreed. What's even the case for it at this point? Also, really don't like the idea of selling to sovereign wealth funds, specifically.
  13. What's there to talk about? She lost. She's a lame duck VP. She's not doing or going to do anything newsworthy. She's not riling up supporters or going to incite an insurrection at the capitol. Romney became irrelevant overnight. McCain and Kerry remained relevant as Senators and that's it. Gore became irrelevant overnight after the election was decided. Dole became irrelevant overnight, or maybe was even irrelevant before the election. This is how it's supposed to go. You keep your mouth shut.
  14. "I'm thinking you cannot execute your way down the field consistently over the course of a full game" is the correct bet to make against almost any college offense - Texas included, by the way - especially when you have the talent that Texas has getting after the QB and on the back end
  15. Guys, hear me out. May I suggest Tom Herman?
  16. Absolutely this, but I also have serious doubts this all star team is competent enough to do the work of dismantling the government. Make it function less effectively? Sure, almost a given tbh. But affecting actual, structural change? Don't know about that one. It would be fascinating to watch if not for the stakes.
  17. I can smell the spray tan through my computer
  18. Yeah I thought FAU would be a sweet spot of sorts for him. Low enough profile to avoid some of the pitfalls at Texas, but plenty of second and third tier local talent that can play. He and his staff were bad roster managers but I think what Sark and co. have done with a lot of his guys tells us the evals were there, which would seem to tee him up at a place like FAU. Maybe it really is just the alcohol/coke stuff. Hope he gets right if that's the case.
  19. If you make either one of those trips, you deserve what you get.
  20. Assuming neither Texas or aggy lose to their cupcakes this coming weekend, the winner is in. Bama will be in if they win out (at OU, vs Auburn) and Georgia would take their place otherwise. I'm sure there are other chaos scenarios but that's the gist of it.
