Case would have easily won the game.

I would say 50 years. Injury is my best bet. Worst case is that he was doing drugs.

At least somebody was out to get us. They have to huddle and wave off at least 3 penalties against us. Those were just too egregiously bad to call.

I can't think of a time a Texas QB played worse and, well, let's just say I got to see Earl play as a student, so its been a long time.

As bad as Ewers was and as porous as the defense was at that point, I had a bad feeling in the 1st half even at 31-17.

This was one of those days that makes you long for the days of Case McCoy when you had a QB who could at least hit short passes. Sark proved he is no Saban or Dabo. Saban replaced his QB in the title game a few years back to come back against Georgia. Dabo replaced his QB today to come back against Syracuse. Ewers was having one of the worst days any Texas QB had ever had and Sark stuck with him. He just didn't have it today. And Sark showed why he is 7 win Sark.

Somebody in stripes is.

What was he whining about? He had a hand full of jersey and then pushed the guy down.

Whittington blocked 2 defenders on that big gain.

Ref might have directly stopped Bijan from scoring a TD.

They've been jumping a bunch of the routes. We could have 3 INTs already.

And to get hit in the head when they slide late.

What a bullshit call. They need to end that stupid slide rule. There was NO way for Cook to stop.

I don't understand why you don't make it a 58 yarder if they don't convert 3rd and 23.

Well ABC/ESPN is gaining SEC content, but they have lost their Big 10. They've got time slots to fill.

What was interesting was that the ACC and Pac only had 1 game on last week (not counting streaming and conference network). The Big 12 had all 4. Even the SEC and Big 10 only had 3. Clearly, either the Big 12 has a very good contract for exposure, or mediocre Big 12 games are a lot more valued than mediocre ACC/Pac games.

Definitely helps.

The issue for the Big 10 is that it is going to get $70 million per school and there is probably no west coast school that will generate that type of revenue on TV money. But I suspect they will do a 6-7 year buy-in, look at it strategically, generate money from sponsorships and BTN and make it profitable for the existing 14. Rick Neuheisel said Washington and Oregon are a done deal. Brett McMurphy never retracted his earlier comments. Their courting was very public. Warren basically said 18 or 20 was going to happen and that the only issue was 1, 5 or 7 years. Its possible Warren doesn't have the votes, but I think its just a matter of timing and we will see the announcement sometime before July 1. The question in my mind is whether they stop at 18 or go to 20 with Stanford and Cal. 20 gets harder to justify financially.

Speaking of the Pac, Jon Wilner, its biggest cheerleader, says its doom is imminent. He just thinks its 7 years away, not 1. https://tucson.com/sports/pac-12-hotline/pac-12-hotline-big-tens-tone-changes-which-is-good-news-for-pac-12-stability/article_17ea0aac-4c02-11ed-aafe-ef44767ae34d.html "...Never say never when it comes to realignment, but 20 doesn’t appear imminent. Which means the Pac-12 is more likely to sign a medium-length media contract and move forward with the 10 remaining schools. But that’s not the end of the story. Because by the turn of the decade, the market forces will have shifted and the Big Ten will be strutting to the negotiating table for another media contract. As we outlined recently in a deep dive into the future of the sport, the next wave of realignment could very well strike in the late 2020s with the Big Ten and SEC expanding again and a third super-conference emerging. The third league would feature many of the schools currently in the Big 12, plus those from the Pac-12 and ACC that don’t make the jump into the massive SEC or equally massive Big Ten. Consolidation around the Big Two is inevitable. A western arm of the Big Ten is inevitable. An exodus of Pac-12 schools into a reconfigured Big 12 is inevitable. But increasingly, it appears that point is years, not weeks or months, away."

2024 just makes sense. ESPN gets the SEC contract from CBS. USC and UCLA move to the Big 10. Pac 12, if it exists, starts its new TV contract.

Yes. CBS is probably going to trade some games to NBC or Fox next year. There are a few weeks where they don't have SEC games at 2:30.

They executed a lot when it counted. Except for the INT, they executed every single big play last week.

Call was a fumble. Referee mistakenly announced call was that runner was down. So the graphic copied that mistake.

That was a really good point with this win. Sark was something like 2-7 in one score games at UT.

It looked pretty obvious it was a shoulder hit. QB sympathy?
