  1. Hahaha. The Dr Pepper commercial is perfect.... "Guys it was only the first play of the game (season)
  2. Unless someone left on our schedule has the light switch come on, Kansas has the best offense we will face this regular season (possibly post season also). It's not surprising they kept it close the first half. Most decent teams in the Big 12 are going to. We will see the some super human (CO vs USC) type of shit until we finally wear them down and break them. Especially after we mudhole Mobilehoma next week. Not only do they all want to give us a ding on the way out, but knocking us out of playoff contention is the wettest of wet dreams for the B12 schools. It will be like the old SWC days when every conference game was THE RIVALRY game for the other school.
  3. What i find interesting is that this moron doesn't know what a Bluebloods is. Turning a profit doesn't make a Blueblood. Without wasting any braincells on remembering all the Bluebloods that have come and gone, I'm not sure there's been 25 Bluebloods total... Bluebloods are schools who can generate enough revenue to shoulder the bulk of the cash for an entire conference, even through down periods. As revenue sources changed several old Bluebloods died.... It used to be in ticket sales, ECT they would generate at home and more so, on the road. Now it's media value... It isn't hard to separate the Bluebloods from the elites and the elites from the good programs... Now, among the select few true Bluebloods, there are three that are kings... Notre Dame, USC, and Texas. They've been called the Glamour programs by more than one national sports mouth... So besides money (Kelly from ND to LSU and who knows why else), it isn't hard to see why someone would leave OU for USC... Even when comparing apples to apples, they aren't equal.

  14. You are correct. Two keys to the deep ball is timing and familiarity. The ball is out of the QB's hand, headed to a spot a long time before the WR is in place. If the WR is a little more amped than usual and running a shade quicker than he doesn't practice, it will make the pass underthrown. Just like if he's bumped and a little late getting to the spot, it will be overthrown, and that's when the QB and the WR are on the same page. If the ball goes to one spot and then we to another, it looks a lot like last year did. But we can talk about Ewers all we want, but the truth is until our O-Line pass protects better than they did Saturday, none of our QBs are going to do any better back there.
  15. I agree. He's in his own head. Especially on the long ball. That split second of indecisiveness makes it look ugly on the far end... All the potential in the world but hasn't been able to get out of his own way. I have a feeling he either gets out of his head next week or he'll get replaced. Sark really likes this job and he knows he's running out of patience with the Ewers thing.
  16. And that's the answer. Adjust your scheme to your current players, and not your current players to your scheme. I'm less concerned with Quinn's "deep ball" than I am with the O line's pass protection... One thing was obvious, our QBs are going to be seeing a lot of green in front of them. We have more weapons than defenses can scheme for.... With an O-Line that can pass block and a QB who can hit the deep throws, this offense would be virtually unstoppable. 3rd and longs would be a nightmare for DCs. Do you send the house on a prayer a quick slant doesn't bite you this time... Do you drop 8 against the empty set knowing if the QB decided to take off, it could be 3rd and 20 and he'd still have time to stop and make a Sandwich and still pick up spare change... You can't cover them all
  17. Yeah, that was something different. I'd swear AD's move not only caught the back off guard, it did the same to Quinn. It looked like he was still dropping back on a deep drop when he realized that AD was already heading into the end zone and he had to make the throw then because by the time he'd caught his balance enough to get his feet underneath him and set, that window would have closed and AD would have been in the stands. He was moving. It was ugly either way, but probably the right call because the only option the cover guy had as bad as he was beat, was tondo exactly what he did, and mug AD before the ball got there. It just wasn't called. No surprise there though... I do question his deep ball, but outside of it, he wasn't that bad today. Rice did a good job of designing who they were sending and who was dropping back which made pur offensive line look stupid way too often, which isn't good for any QB. 19 of 30 with a catch by the x-man called back, another that Brooks just dropped (which would've been a touchdown) another one dropped in the end zone when our receivers bunched up, and the ball was knocked out of (whoever it was) hands by a defenders helmet.... seems like there was a couple of other drops but I might be wrong.... but either way, three more catches with two being touchdowns is a different picture, especially when you add two more passes that should have been flagged for blatant pass interference.... I'm not sold on Quinn yet, I'm on the fence there, but he isn't as bad as some of the idiots around here make him out to be. Colt couldn't hit the deep ball either, yet we know how much that mattered.... But there were plenty of idiots during most of his Sophomore year who wanted him benched also... wash-rinse-repeat is the standard around here
  18. "Saw 'Em Off"... aggy with a saw. No wonder aggy is dickless.
  19. I don't know how many we win this year but as a Texas fan, I'll go in balls deep with my own (Kool aid and alcohol induced) prediction. Not only is Texas going to beat 'Bama and OU but also Michigan and Georgia this year... yes THIS year. Hook 'em
  20. It would've been funnier if the greasy fuck wasn't so slippery. He was like watching a greased pig. But in this case, i wasn't rooting for the pig.
  21. I can't wait to hear how we killed the PAC just to keep aggy down.
  22. College football is a major cash cow.. This is an area they will invest in still if the value is there. So the whole the PAC was late to market is a cool story and all, but that's all it is... ESPN and it's live sports isn't the financial issues. It's in other areas that the mouse took it's hits, mainly Disney+ What all of us tend to overlook is that ESPN and Fox seldom, If ever compete against each other for college football. In fact, they divide up the content they want and practically hand their bid in together. If almost as if they. Were partners and not competitors. They (nor the SEC and B10) never step on each other's toes when it comes to contracts and expansion.. in fact it's as if each side knows what the other is doing a long time before the news breaks... They worked together to save the BIG 12 three times now, and they seem to have worked together to let the PAC die... I guess if you and your competitor can find a way to share the market instead of fighting for every inch, you probably save you both countless millions
  23. ESPN isn't in any hurry to. Do anything with the ACC. In fact. They've been nudging schools towards the BIG 12. Which means the ACC is dead... FSU will get their wish, the question is when. For FSUs sake it needs to be soon. But i have a feeling they are going to be stuck in ACC hell for a long time. The conference as a whole nor the members will be forgetting this anytime soon. And ESPN is going to let things settle in and see how it goes before anything else.. and that will take a long time. .
  24. If all these moves pan out, you have the PAC schools plus UO, UW all still playing each other in the Big 10.. huge win for all parties.. Utah reunited with BYU (whether the like it or not) the 'Zona school doing their business of sucking as usual, CU reunited with its old B8 pals all in the B12. A huge win here for the Big12 and the. Newcomers... I think Utah will settle in just fine there once they figure out that they are more Big 12ish than Stanfordish.. Mizzou and OU can get back to t butt suckling each other. Without OU having to miss out on all the State Fair food (andeven meth heads need to eat. Sometimes). Aggy and Arky get to enjoy those regular beating they enjoyed so much... Another huge win, especially for Texas who gets/keeps not one, not two, but all three of it's bitches back... Overall. Realignment has been a win win for all.. Wait... I left out Maryland and that other one..... Don't care..... And poor Nebraska.... They just get shit on all over... No friends, no wins... Only a steady diet of Hawkeye dick to sustain them. Couldn't happen to a nicer group. Osborne finally had one of his stupid decisions bear fruit, he led those imbeciles to the dessert to die
  25. If the rumors of the Big 10 taking Stanford are true, they will be in position to put ND in checkmate at will, with Stanford, Michigan, and Stanford all in the Big 10, and once there's a clearer picture of how playing 8 vs 9 conference games factors in with the playoff committee, ND is about to have to decide between anchoring either the ACC, the Big 12 or joining the Big 10. It isn't in the Big 10s best interest for three of their members to play ND yearly. Especially when they expect two of those three to constantly be in the playoff picture. The Big 12 is probably most balanced so the extra money from playing ND vs the chance of that one of those games being the difference of getting another team in the playoffs might not be worth it. The SEC, with OU and UT coming in, doesn't benefit from ND playing their teams very often either, leaving ND faced either actually becoming a true Blueblood and anchoring a conference, or joining one. Speaking of playoffs, this PAC thing is going to put a wrench in the current setup. If they survive, the Big 10 and the SEC are not going to be cool with losing a playoff spot or two to a conference made up of UO, UW, the scrub Cali schools, Boise St, Hawaii Wyoming, SDSU, Fresno, San Jose, SMU, Saint Marys school for the Blind... If UO or UW can't go undefeated with that schedule, they should be banned from football for a year, so going undefeated shouldn't automatically be a playoff spot either... At least the Big 12 has legs to stand on. They have two recent playoff teams (one made the finals). UFC and BYU have shown they can play big boy football outside of fluke seasons. Baylor, TT, OSU, ISU, and WVU are not considered cupcakes by anyone's metric. It doesn't shock anyone when they beat good teams. They do quite often. But if the PAC dies (which is probable) it still changes the playoff auto bids. Either way, there will be some questions people will want clarification on as soon as the smoke clears out west
