    Good luck.
  2. wablty
    Should probably bet it then.
  3. wablty
    Yeah. Kinda sucks for us.

    Our best defensive player took a free headshot at Iowa State's QB when we were up 45-10 so he's out for a half, Xavion Alford is very good now, CJ Fite is the classic "Just a little bit too small" DT that overproduces, Clay Smith is nice sometimes, Crooks is from Arkansas and has been pretty good... Alford and Shamari Simmons (out for smoking Rocco Becht because it was like dangling a pork chop in front of a tiger) are the best players. There are a lot of guys who are decent, but we don't have much for headliners.

    Gimme a week or so to cook. The last time I was actively posting here, it was ShaggyBevo, some blacklab dude ran it and me and a guy that went by ShineGlo or something had a conversation during a Missouri game thread about how 'Wanton Hookery' was both an accurate description for Mill Ave/6th Street and also an awesome band name.

    Got you. Got a little defensive there. My bad.

    ASU is nothing like them. ASU doesn't have oil money, doesn't dress up as fake soldiers, doesn't think success is owed to it and has actually won 10+ games more than once since 2000.

    If ASU can't run, ASU is going to get annihilated. Even if ASU can run, I just don't think we have the dudes. You'll need to give it to us or we have to get fancy. Or both. I know one missing player shouldn't matter, but ASU not having Tyson is a major problem. He was the guy who could always get open. ASU has plenty of guys who look the part, run the part, occasionally make plays at WR, but the consistency... We'll see. We weren't even supposed to be here.

    Thanks.

    I wanna talk shit, but I know ASU is in for an uphill fight in this one. That's fine. We were picked last in the Big 12 and won the bitch with like 35 of our 2 deep coming back. All of this is gravy. Even if you whoop our ass, to quote Obi-Wan: The sand people are easily startled, but they will soon be back and in greater numbers.

    FPI is predictive, not a description of merit. If you wanted to know there are more 4 and 5 stars in the SEC, you don't need a stat. I'm not very familiar with FEI, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess FEI, like FPI, integrates talent composite. Also, those games weren't all that close. ASU had 3 score leads in the 2nd half of every game. They opted to get cute (and almost screwed themselves) against BYU instead of scoring again when it was 1st and goal from the 4, annihilated Iowa State and were up 24-0 and coasting against K State. Like I do agree Texas has a likely much stronger roster and there's a great chance the Horns roll ASU, but pretending ASU hasn't played anyone is silly.

    And BYU and Iowa State are ranked higher than any team Texas beat up until today. Ditto for Penn State, Indiana, Notre Dame, SMU. Boise too. Not disagreeing with your point that Texas's line of scrimmage is going to be a potentially overwhelming advantage for the horns, but Sagarin is iffy.

    Glendale. Fiesta Bowl was just a bowl swap away.
  14. wablty
    They might dick ride if we win or make it competitive but I can tell they already don't like us. Except Tech. Texas Tech seems cool.

    FWIW, ASU was up 30-3 against Miss State and coasted, and Leavitt didn't play @Cincinnati. Bearcats didn't score the entire 2nd half, but it didn't matter because ASU's backup is Jeff Simms. Kansas was just weird in that they were preseason top 25, choked 2 games to top 25 teams (UNLV and Illinois), kept on losing, then got feisty for a bit. They almost beat ASU, almost beat Kansas State (8-4) and did beat 3 more teams that finished in the top 25. They're 3-3 against top 25 teams. But they suck. They're basically Vandy I guess, in that they can do scary shit but are bad.

    I know this isn't an overall playoff thread, but I'm enjoying Tennessee finding out that the rickety broken thing they thought they were approaching was, in fact, a fully functional Death Star.
  17. wablty
    Heard Cliff fucked up the landing and just told you that. Fat friends lie.
  18. wablty
    Leavitt is actually pretty fucking good, especially for a freshman. The biggest issue is Jordyn Tyson is out. He's better than Pearsall or Badger were. Probably ASU's best since Aiyuk. It'll be more an issue of is anyone actually open for him.
  19. wablty
    I admire the talent that's been built up in Austin, but I honestly think ASU has got you beat. Unless you're talking about football players. Then Texas comes out on top.
  20. wablty
    The biggest issue for ASU is more WR's. Jordyn Tyson was by far their best WR and he went down for the season in the last game of the regular season. He's the only one I think can go against your top DBs and still win with any degree of consistency. They'll need the old man brigade that's their WR depth to step up, and that's if your DL isn't just devouring a strong but not especially athletic OL. ASU is outmanned. Best hope is Sark does Sark stuff. Sark had better teams than ASU most of his time in the Pac 12 and still went 1-4, with the only win being the occasion he was apparently drunk.
  21. wablty
    That's not new. He went 1-4 against ASU when he was in the Pac 12, and the only time he won he was apparently drunk.
  22. wablty
    Our top WR is out. He's probably the only guy I think can reliably beat your single coverage against your DBs. You can smother the running game unless we can get over the top and I don't think we have the dudes right now. Skattebo will get his, but... I don't think we have the bodies. We need Sark to fuck it up.
  23. wablty
    We (ASU) lost our best defensive player for the 1st half because we were playing him up 5 TD's. Pull it. You can always put them back in. There's no style points for keeping them from the back door TD's.
  24. wablty
    I'm an ASU fan. I don't like this. I don't like this shit at all.
  25. wablty
    Omeire and Jake Smith get some action, maybe more now with their star WR out for the season. J'Mond Tapp is back in the portal. Swanson actually plays in the DT rotation and will have a reasonable chance to be the 1st team NT next year. Prince Dorbah gets a lot of run and while his stats this year aren't great, he's been decent. Xavion Alford is the former Horn that's a true standout. He's healthy and has become one of the better safeties around. 1st Team All Big 12 this year. Texas did Swanson a favor, even if the way he's describing it might suggest whoever told him to leave could work on their bedside manner. Might not see it that way now, but he will.
