    How about we beat y’all last year and beat everyone since. Longest win streak in the country. It’s a stronger argument than talking about the point differential in the TT games between you and Oregon.

    Last year's Texas would get boatraced by this year's Texas. You have no idea what is coming for y'all. Your cute little one score wins over subpar PAC teams wont mean shit when we punch you in the mouth and the 80% pro Texas Sugar bowl crowd is going wild and your Penix shrivels ups.

    I don’t think it was that flagrant and ref calls and no calls are kind of part of the game in college football, especially PAC 12. We got fucked on plenty of bad calls this year but overcame because that is what mature teams who know how to win do. I am sure you guys both benefited and got hurt from questionable calls as well. 

    It isnt about any of that man. All I was saying is that it took a miracle to beat a shitty 1-5 ASU team. If you dont bring your A++ game against Texas, you will be staring down the barrel of a blowout.

    I usually buy close loss arguments as examples of parity but do you guys really think TCU or Houston is anywhere near your caliber just because they played you close? I sure as shit don’t think ASU or WSU is close to us. College Football is fucking wacky

    We played with an injured or backup QB against TCU and Houston. The stretch of games from Houston to TCU were with our starter very obviously injured or our subpar backup QB.

    Oregon would be a playoff but for us. That isn’t debatable. If you beat Alabama twice they wouldn’t be in the playoffs either. On top of Oregon, we beat Oregon State and Arizona who are both still ranked. Also beat Utah and USC when they were ranked.

    Are you really arguing that a big 12 is better than pac 12 this year?

    Yeah I am saying that also. The big 12 was better than the PAC. Definite losses for Washington on our schedule: @Bama. Probable losses: KSU, OU, @Iowa State

    The portal window leaves him no choice. His choice was basically 1) stay for the playoffs and waste another year on the bench at Texas, or 2) leave his team before the playoffs so he has an opportunity to start and play next year 

    You can’t fault him for making the decision that is best for him. I fault the NCAA for forcing that choice upon him.

    This. It isnt his fault. He knows Arch is better than him and he knows this is his best chance to secure a starting spot. He had no option.

    Try again Copernicus. The situation/timing forced his hand, and he is handling it with class. I’m sure MM and Sark had a discussion and worked toward this resolution together.
     

    Yours is simply another contrarian take that ignores all situational context and seeks to identify MM as a bad guy or “not a team player”. 
     

    additionally, I’d wager this is the best result for both MM and Texas. It helps settle the QB room discussion for next year, and places Arch as QB2 for the CFP. I hope we don’t need arch, but I would prefer to have him as QB2 after seeing the full season play out. 

    That was already settled. But I know what you mean. You dont have to play politics now and split their snaps. Arch can get 100% of the QB2 snaps. (Or QB1 if Ewers decides to go pro)

    Disappointed we don’t have a bye later in November.

    especially considering we don’t have a real cupcake in nov. That was one of the things I was looking forward to in the sec. Bye week and a cupcake to move up while everyone else in the other conferences lose and move down 

    One home game between sept 29 and nov 8. Not super unusual but still crazy long stretch 

    Kentucky at home is as close to a cupcake as you can get lol
