  1. The current Big 12 is stronger in football than the current Big 10 even with Ohio St. in most years. The bottom of the Big 10 is pretty weak.
  2. I'm not convinced about Sark being better than a 7 win coach. But I do believe in Patterson.
  3. Davy Crockett got executed in the Alamo after honorably surrendering after killing massive numbers of Santa Anna's army. So how does that apply to the Longhorns?
  4. Definitely looks better (other than the kicking game which isn't even good HS level). But again, its only ULM. If we look bad next week, that still won't be much of an indicator. I still think Oregon is pretty solid and they lost 49-3 to Georgia. The games after Alabama will tell how much better we are.
  5. Guess I'm blocking out 2017 when we were 0-4 in one score games. He was 13-8 after that.
  6. Hermann wouldn't have lost to Kansas for one. Sarkasian hadn't been a head coach in 6 years. His best season at Washington was 8-4 and career was 34-29. USC he was 9-4 and 3-2. He hasn't proven he can win at the top level. We'll see if he learned at Alabama. ULM is not much of a test. But then a loss to Alabama isn't much of a test either. As for whether Sark is better than 2006+ Mack in recruiting, time will tell. I hope so. He looks really good on paper. But then Mack looked really good on paper too.
  7. If all that is left is Oregon St. and Washington St., the MWC is stronger. There is no economic disparity. The only question would be whether some of the MWC schools want to dump some of the others.
  8. It was both. How did Hermann win most of his close games with the same personnel? How did he consistently win close games in his career at Texas? Sark wasn't good at it last year. Sark did a poor job. He can recruit. It remains to be seen if he can coach.
  9. That's the Big 12. It was a first down, so the whole review didn't really matter.
  10. Card didn't look good, but in fairness, the people playing line at that time looked awful and didn't give him time.
  11. Well sometimes I was trying to figure out what happened and they would never tell you, like with that nearly blocked punt. They were rambling about something else.
  12. It happened a number of times. Robinson lost yards on his 2nd carry just after the big gain.
  13. You mention the downfield blocking. Watch some video of that 2005 team. I remember seeing them 2 or 3 years back and thinking, "we don't do that anymore."
  14. And Sarkasian did a lousy job coaching in close games. We'll see if he's learning.
  15. What makes that really hilarious is how the LHN ran about 10 of those commercials with the really nice parking enforcement guy! I guess he will smile when he give Ewers back his car.
  16. No. Either the B$G $0 takes more Pac schools and it dissolves with the remainder seeking refuge in the Big 12; or, B$G $0 stays pat and Pac 12 becomes Pac 10. Nothing else is really relevant. Maybe if somehow the Big 12 got a $40 million contract vs. $25 million for the Pac the 4 corners jump, but I suspect the contracts will probably end up within $5 million or so of each other.
  17. I wasn't shocked, but I couldn't tell, so I wouldn't have overturned it.
  18. I think you're just starving. I didn't see any representing real well.
  19. I think the thing that really set him off was that ridiculous claim there was no fair catch on the kickoff. Fortunately, replay overturned that one.
  20. Blame replay. They did a replay early on, AFTER a long break. And then let it stand.
  21. The way their defense was playing, I didn't mind that call. But the D let them go 92 yards in 7 plays.
  22. Much of this has to do with population outside the metro area. DFW is the 4th largest MSA and Houston is 5th. Houston is bigger than Philly, the Bay Area, DC and much bigger than Boston (right behind Houston), but there are a lot more people outside those metros that watch those TV stations than in Houston. South of Houston is the Gulf, East is mostly swamp until Beaumont and North has huge swaths of national forest. West doesn't really have a lot of people either.
  23. You shouldn't blame Oregon for that. That's just the NCAA that thinks agents are the biggest violation anyone can do. UNC fake classes? No problem. Baylor, Montana rape coverups, not a big deal. Notre Dame killing a student employee by making him stay in a tower during high winds during practice, refusing to pursue sexual harassment case against starter that lead to suicide. Not our issue. USC-agent, big deal. Georgia Tech-agent gives one senior player $300 in clothes. Player pays him back. Georgia Tech goes on probation and forfeits their ACC title.
