  1. I have to admit I was okay with losing to Kansas if that's what it took to quit whining about racism and fire the incompetent motherfucker. Cheer for it? No. Upset at losing? Not very much, other than not having lost to them since beore aggy's last Number 1 year.
  2. According to Paul Bryant, "winning isn't everything, but it's way the hell ahead of whatever's in second place."
  3. So... is NE going with Prime & Shedeur or Sark & Quinn?
  4. To be accurate, Howard's history of losing every game against Texas is not the reason we're going to win this one. The reason is not that he lost, but that he hasn't gotten over the losses, and he can't stop thinking about them. Hell, he even lost to Maalik Murphy... he coulda won, but he "slipped". Oops. He's going to "slip" again - fumble, INT, miss a wide-open Smith, whatever. Horns up, Horns down, it don't make a shit, Horns are in his head, and they don't leave any room for anything else. Hook'em
  5. If you have a more-or-less unlimited budget for all manner of analysis why not have a crew that researches refs and their tendencies to calling or ignoring various fouls and their in-game behavior and willingness or refusal to reconsider a call? Can you calmly approach this or that official and say "ref, that guy tok off running, there's no foul if you hit him as or after he kicks it. Call a ref huddle, pick up that flag?"
  6. We will win the game. I just saw a presser with tOSU quarterback Will Howard. We are in Will Howard's Head. Here's the clip: Watch this. Every bit of hos body language and indeed his demeanor tells you he's obsessed with Texas... which he says is the only XII team he couldn't beat. He's got a Longhorn in his brain. We got this game.
  7. Crowning Strippers is a decent band name.
  8. Any truth to rumor that we probably gonna be seeing pics of Jimbo on our sideline flashing the horns up?
  9. "Complications" following surgery is MedicoLegalese for "not our fault".
  10. Isn't the rule protecting punters inapplicable if he takes off and runs before kicking? Useta be, but I've not kept up with it. Is it a tackle box thing? I thought the guy did take a few steps first... it was amazing that the blocker managed to miss the ball? Hell, I thought he caught it with his belly.
  11. What does it take to get access to all22? Is it something we could all kick in some bucks?
  12. "Russian trying to speak Spanish" sounds about right. Doath thervethas friath por favore theenyore is my Thpanith go-to phrase.
  13. Ok, so we need to move past mere Targeting. Already saw a call for Attempted Targeting and Negligent Targeting, along with Targeting With Intent to Distribute. Miz Long, in her never-ending quest to bring greater administrative rules perfection to football, believes we need the addition of Aggravated Targeting and Conspiracy to Commit Targeting.
  14. Not the great lip-reader, but that looks more like "yoo" than "zhoo" to me. Thanks for the tip.
  15. Portugese: comment on reffing, "Injusticia", pronounced IN-YOU-STEESE-YAH
  16. Zey vill eat ze big bugs, but not ze little vuns.
  17. You are demonstrating a disturbing lack of respect for Authority. Sovereign immunity and whatnot.
  18. Obviously we need an expanded Targeting rule, which would encompass "Attempted Targeting" and "Negligent Targeting" as well as "Targeting with Intent to Distribute Disable". Then we're going to need an official with Uncivil or Sociopathic Behavior certification so the Review can start by determining intent. Absent intention, there would be no ejection. Perhaps a timed Penalty Box for perps, with or without offending team playing short-handed during such penalties. We only have 10 officials, and with 22 players on the field, that may not be enough.
  19. Probably called a "self-hold"... but okay if you don't take hold and stay behind him and push.
  20. Been beaten to death all over Surly... but, do we need an actual OC? I think the "Co-OC for X" titles for Flood and uhhhh (checks notes) Milwee are some sort of cover for larger-than-usual salaries. But do they have any OC function in game time? Does Steve ask them what they're seeing, what might work against what the opponent is doing? I understand the whole world of college football apparently believes that Sark is one of the great play callers alive, but it sometimes seems like he is too involved at that to actually HEAD Coach. Seems like it might be a Good Thing™ for him to have an actual OC, like he has an actual DC to whom he clearly defers for game calls. Is there anyone (apparently not Milwee) who could handle OC'ing for us?
  21. Do Oregon or tOSU have a fake punt in the playbook?
  22. Som a quick ASU score, half-time, and start the third with onside?
