  1. 56 games and only 3 losses to OOC teams, and one came this year to mighty powerhouse App St. And yet they couldn't understand why why we laughed at them when they really thought they were so much better than us and one year away from displacing Bama as the dominant force in college football. A 4 win cupcake buffer practically guarantees a 8-4 season minimal as long as your depth and talent is better for the poorer bottom feeders in the conference... Untill the wheels come off... I bet that 8-4 average they've managed since joining the SEC would look alarmingly different if the SEC played 9 conference games instead of 8. Take out that late season "second bye" the scout team plays while the starters recover from the grind, probably would've mean a couple of 6-6 season replacing one of those awesome 8-4s... Face it, playing someone like West Texas A&M, isn't the same as playing another SEC team that is as big and physical as aggy... That second two week break for the starters and injury recovery makes a huge difference especially for teams that have solid depth across the board.
  2. I think 365 sports made a good point . They pointed out Jimbo's recruiting habits. What they said reminded me of Mac's last year's. Going for as many highest ranked players and not the type of player with the skill sets needed for the system. Like Brown wanting to convert to the pound and ground Alabama type offense back then with small Linemen, no TE's to speak of, WRs that only sucked at blocking more than they did at catching... Another thing they pointed out about aggy is another thing that bit us and had a lot to do with our culture change back then was bringing in a ton of talented, highly ranked players that have O ties or loyalty to the program. It's hard to make a team bleed burnt orange when the bulk of the team and or the team leaders never gave two shits about the school either way, especially when things head south. Or in our case, were already at the bottom of the barrel, and all the veteran players have already checked out when the new freshmen class joins the team each year. Classes full of talented players that aren't necessarily burnt orange through and through.... We probably would've recovered much faster if we would've dumped the entire team when it was painfully obvious there was a cancer within the program and started fresh with a bunch of 2-3-4* freshmen players that grew up eating and breathing burnt orange, players who would run through a brick wall or crawl through broken glass for the team before rolling over for anyone, much less OU. I remember too many highly ranked WRs who could torch any D, but couldn't catch a ball if someone sat it in their hands... No one willing or able to run the slant. RBs who couldn't block for fuck in a pass first offense. Linebackers that were extremely talented at running themselves out of the play in the backfield as the QB was handing the ball off. Missed tackles my ass, the RB and QB frozen just standing there with the deer in the headlights look without even trying to move, just bracing for the impact,while our linebackers would run right past. Linemen that were good in school because they played 2A ball weighing 260 lbs against opponents that typically averaged 170-180. Hopefully we learned from our mistakes and aggy keeps doing what they've always done. Keep throwing money to fix everything without knowing or at least admitting where the root of the problem begins. I hope they are in a complete freefall and still stuck with Jimbo the year we start SEC play. Either way, I have a feeling they are going to have the same culture killing cancer we had when Mac left, by the time they finally can rid themselves of Jimbo.
  3. I like the approach aggy always runs to... Throw more money at the problem, that fixes it every time... Maybe instead of throwing another four million a year on an OC and filling the rest of the staff with recruiters, maybe aggy should look at their head honcho coach that has proven as effective as the last 5 - 10 head coaches and then figure out why they are stuck with a coach they can't get rid of him without spending every dime of the next three year's worth of NIL/bag fund. But first, they will have to figure out that the OC isn't the problem, because the system they run is Jimbo's system.... Higher price doesn't automatically mean higher quality. Face it aggy, you bought a used pinto for the price the price of a new Tundra and now you are upside down in and can't trade it in for the next 7 or 8 years.
  4. I totally agree.... Amazon is in for a surprise when their Saturday sports viewership net profits doesn't cover the lawyer fees used to draw it up.... If there was anything of value, ESPN, APPLE, AT&T, FOX, NBC, CBS, mamma's basement dweller, would put up some resistance without letting it go below value. I do find it interesting (if reports are right) that they are keeping the Big 12's contract on par with the ACC money. Something tells me they have a plan for a couple of the ACC schools once their contract gets closer to it's end... The BIG is probably looking closely at the markets West- Oregon_Washington? And the SEC is likely looking at North Carolina and maybe the Virginia markets? Or possibly one of those with an Arizona school as plan B? Then they could push Clemson and FSU (and others like GT, VT) towards the Big 12 where they would be a better FB fit? Maybe merger? Then they would have the working pieces and markets to make the now ACCNET into a strong network that would be a lot closer to the money the SECNET generates then it does now. Granted it would still be short of the BTN and the SCN, but still respectable that would make those schools happy.
  5. I would be surprised if the schedule came out with no home games our last year just to see if they could make it fly, before finally saying it was an oops, but can you please go with it? It's too late to fix now.... Either way... The flags are going to fly like tortillas and batteries in Lubbock, whether we are home or away.
  6. UFC is sitting in a killer spot. Huge enrollment, Miami down longer than us, in the middle of little more like bigger Cuba, whom love to support local teams when they are doing good. Something they could easily do in the BIG 12 with the B12's best seat in the FL recruiting house and an open recruiting trail into Texas where they will play multiple games a year now as a P5 school. Ten mill more a year over the ACC teams (plus the influx of another 12+ mill more a year than they're used to having from a P5's TV miney), in it's area will go along way towards keeping Miami right down there with corn aggy where it belongs, and closing the gap/pressuring FSU for the #2 spot in Florida. Cinci won't challenge OSU, it will snag some recruits from IL, IN, IA, etc. that would've gone to the BIG 10 smaller schools. It will however put a hurt on several ACC schools in recruiting. Especially since (like UFC) it's had relevant seasonS since Hitler invaded Poland. It's seen major bowl, BCS, and the playoffs.(unlike us... OU still sucks either way).
  7. And that sums up the issue with the new Big 12 after we leave.... After the shine wears off in a couple of years, so does the fan interest.
  8. That, or the Big 12 forced (some of) their schools to play a real ooc schedule for better TV $$$
  9. Yeah I agree with that. I just have a hard time believing academics play much of a role. Everyone will look down on OSU academics regardless of whether or not we're in the same conference as Stanford. It is what it is. As much history Stanford has for shunning the Big 12)Texas schools, they would likely close down the school and all commit mass suicide before running to the big 12
  10. They should've punted BYU (and most others) the moment the UCLA/USC news broke.... Utah, Washington, Oregon, Stanford (for the ND game and a CA presence/recruiting), UFC and Cinci (FL-OH presence/recruiting). It would be the clear cut 3rd best conference for TV money. Which might've caused Armageddon, by making FSU/Clemson nervous of the P5 being more of a P2 +1 +2 tag along conferences for poaching later if needed.
  11. Is this the same ref crew from the oklite game from years ago?
  12. These fucking refs are just throwing flags and then seeing if they can make it stick
  13. We're not going to get any help from the refs in this conference
  14. Yes, but the rules are enforced differently based on the position, which isn't fair to any of these kids. It's real stupid when so many teams use dual threat qbs in college.
  15. How the hell do you lose sight of Bijan
  16. Best three loss team in the Nation. Shoe in for the playoffs. Whoop
  17. When they called that play, I felt it was somewhat desperate of 0U so early on.... It hadn't sunk in they really were desperate so early on and had no plans to throw the ball no matter how lopsided the score got. That was the strangest game plan I've seen in today's offense. Especially when their defense wasn't doing much to stop our offense. I haven't bothered to look at any of their sites, because once you do an aggy meltdown, nothing else comes close. But boomer meltdown over the play calling had to be glorious....
  18. 0U SUCKS
  19. Well, OU does suck....
  20. Answered
  21. There's no such thing as a tight end in Oklahoma.
  22. Haha. This get any uglier, and they corch gonna be on the hot seat 6 games in.
  23. OU might not win another game this year... Lol
  24. Well, they can't afford both a good BB team and a good FB team. He'll be out of there within a couple of years
  25. LOL at OU trying to wear down our D with their three and out, dust cloud offense.
