Tex Long

Looks like no heated field. That shit is going to be hard as a concrete parking lot. Ball slick, heavy, rock-hard. Glad to be where I am and not in South Bend. Or Happy Valley. Or Columbus OH.

Not taken as a knock. Image of Real Life imo.

Hits close to home. Miz Long followed up her Drama Majority with Law School. Well, and then back to Drama School with leading performer Gerry Spence.

Need some help here. The Best Loss of the Year, very obviously goes to aggy, for the Domer effort. What I don't get, is how come aggy has not spent the entire season pointing out that the Noter Dames got physucally beat up by aggy, so badly beat up, that they were unable to answer the bell that Northern Illinoise rang right in their own home, that next week in South Beach Bend? Like, "we beat noter dame at Kyle Field and won every single thing except the clock! Whoop" I prolly just mist it, but where has it been?

If you told me a couple of weeks back that we'd knock UGa's QB outta the game by halftime, and hold them to 16 points when the clock hit 00:00, I'da been pretty broke and homeless now... 'cause I would have bet the ranch on that W. If we want to win this game, either we find a way to get someone not named Ewers some holes to run through, or we quit turning the ball over and quit settling for FGs. Or both, preferably. Clemson isn't even in the conversation with UGa, but they also aren't in the other conversation with aggy. We can't stumble-fuck our way through this game. No mistakes here, we're gonna have to fight for the win. I think we do it. This first 12-team shit is set up for storybook chapters. I want to see us knocking off the Fightin' Nikes and (finally) the Whiny Visordawgs and hoisting that trophy award hardware. But before we do that, we need to take care of Clemson... and, of course, the Big XII Champs. Saddle up, boys. Hook'em

Yeah, it's supposed to be Erik Somethingov, a high-ranking Commie knowing rain.

You have to account for at least two of the refs, right?

Something something Quinn Ewers something Bill Belichick...?

I was assuming and still hoping something like this would / will be the first thing Arch does in the Red Zone. I don't care whether he jumps or pushes it, or flips it or tosses it, I want to see him headed for the line, drawing all thirteen defenders and hit Gunnar or Wingo behind errybody. 1st and goal, worst case. Now run the exact same thing. I see DC's shitting their shorts.

Not unless her Amazon cart is in the laundry room.

Thought about?

Having a mansplaining session with Miz Long this afternoon, on when holding is or is not called in football. Included the difference between holding by offense versus by defense, then devolved into (a) why refs call or not (mostly depending on what Louie and Fingers tell them the Boss wants), and (b) why hold in the first place. Having gotten through that, more or less, she asked how the coaches could break the holding habit of their players. Practice scrums with actual refs, sure, okay... but... Here's her (almost) random thought: like those dog-training shock collars, why not shock jocks? What? Well, if you get a jolt in the balls any time you hold, wouldn't that train you? Finding it hard to disagree that it might just work.
