    what the fuck is all this wishcasting for other B12 teams to lose so that a bad Texas team can play Oklahoma again in the CCG?

    Baylor is a fucking pick 'em in Vegas, that's your measuring stick for what people think of Texas football right now. We are no better than the BAYLOR FUCKING BEARS. 

    Baylor, who is the 2nd best team in the Big 12 right now.

     

    Yeah, I would love to win the Big 12 and ruin OU's chance to get in the College Football Invitational.

    We are good enough (or OU is bad enough), we could run all over OU on a given day.  We did for a half.

    I'm probably missing stuff that is obvious to all, but I am not seeing a whole lot of adjustments this season. As in the title, not during games, not at halftimes, not in game-week practices, not much for the season itself. It seems like we've been out-adjusted at damn near every halftime.

    Of course, that may be because I'm taking crazy pills, but that answer doesn't really insist upon itself.

    Where are our adjustments? Even simple ones like "Casey's right thumb is torn up, he's having a really hard time throwing at all, much less with anu accuracy. Maybe the backup QB should be playing... at least a few passes here and there."

    I think we are doing different things every week.  I'm not seeing much at halftime or during the game.

    Still and all, his team is playing better and better ball.  Guaranteed, they will be a serious test for Alabama come Iron Bowl time.  Just the same, fuck Auburn.  Punt block TDx2 and field goal returning  TD assholes.  Ole Miss at Auburn this weekend.  Should be very interesting.

    Its odd that Auburn's president mandated this.  I guess it ties in to Biden's mandate.  But Covid doesn't exist in Auburn.  People aren't doing anything different.  In the rare case you see someone with a mask, you know its an Atlanta parent visiting their child who will not wear a mask and who parties like its 1999.

     

    Obviously a lot of people in Auburn have gotten Covid, but its really not taken seriously there.

    Lol. Realignment has become so absolutely fucking ridiculous. It's completely jumped the shark. We need a comprehensive college athletics summit to get this dumbass piecemeal shit under control.

    This whole Sun Belt/CUSA bit seems to be driven by ego and ESPN.  CUSA is not an ESPN product.  Sun Belt is.  Sun Belt is ticked that FIU, WKU, MTSU along with UNT and FAU left them in 2012 and that La Tech would never have anything to do with them.  So they are adding the current bottom two teams in CUSA along with an FCS school and Marshall.

    Reminds me of how the "alliance" is trying to slow down CFP expansion even though it benefits them more than the SEC simply because they are ticked at the SEC.

    the best thing that could happen to Sul Ross is that it joins the Texas Tech System

    they were looking to do so about 5 years ago, but that dies pretty quickly when the administration did not step right up to support the locals that were pushing it

    Tech has done very well with Angelo State to the point that was used as a selling point for Midwestern supporters that had concerns about merging into the Tech System (done deal now).....those proposing that merger pointed to the growth in students and programs at Angelo and lower bonding cost and administrative cost for Angelo being in the Tech System as a major reason to do it

    Sul Ross would be great for Tech to do a "blinn team" type setup or a UT CAPS type deal if Tech was to increase their admissions standards in the future

    Tech, Angelo, and Midwestern could also start offering programs at the Rio Grande Campuses in Uvalde, Del Rio, and Eagle Pass and let the main campus concentrate on being a 4 year school.....I think Tech could get Sul Ross a full BSN nursing program and Sul Ross would offer some unique summer learning opportunities for Tech, Angelo, and Midwestern students

    the issue is the Texas Tech System does not have anything to offer the Texas State University System to appease them for losing yet another member.....I think there are things that could happen there, but it would take a lot of effort and piss off UH, but at this point UH deserves it

    the Tech system is stupid and should be dismantled.  We don't need another set of aggys doing things to benefit their school and hamper the state.  We already have aggy and cougar.

  6. Still waiting on Marshall, but Old Dominion apparently closed the deal with the Sun Belt on Tuesday.

     

    https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/old-dominion-southern-miss-join-sun-belt-marshall-jmu-expected-to-join-soon?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=BrettMcMurphy

    ODU joins Sun Belt.  Marshall and James Madison are expected in the next couple of weeks.

    "Old Dominion became the second Conference USA school to officially join the Sun Belt on Tuesday, sources told The Action Network, with the expectation two more schools will also soon join the conference.

    On Friday, The Action Network reported Southern Miss had officially been added to the Sun Belt. USM held a press conference Tuesday, formally announcing its move to the Sun Belt.

    Old Dominion, which transitioned from FCS to FBS in 2013, has been a Conference USA member since 2014. The Monarchs’ best season came in 2016 — a 10-3 season and the school’s only bowl appearance, a 24-20 victory over Eastern Michigan in the Bahamas Bowl.

    ODU is expected to formally announce the move with a Thursday news conference, sources said....

     

    The addition of USM, ODU, JMU and Marshall will give the Sun Belt a 14-team football league in 2023.

    East Division member Troy is expected to move to the West Division, along with Southern Miss. The remaining West Division schools are Arkansas State, Louisiana, South Alabama, Texas State and UL Monroe.

    New members Marshall, Old Dominion and James Madison will compete in the East Division with Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia State and Georgia Southern.

    Last year, the Sun Belt was the only Group of Five league that finished with two football teams ranked in the top 15 of the final Associated Press poll.

    Non-football playing Sun Belt members Arkansas-Little Rock and Texas-Arlington will no longer be league members by the 2023 season, sources said...."

    "The Sun Belt Conference announced on Tuesday the addition of The University of Southern Mississippi into the league after a unanimous vote of the Sun Belt CEOs. Southern Miss will become members no later than July 1, 2023...."

    So it seems that everyone is still thinking about the possibility that everyone moves in 2022 and only Bowlsby is talking about anything beyond 2023.

    One person said they didn’t show a replay.

    I also was curious about the Haselwood catch for the first TD. KU DB was wanting OPI. I know DBs ask a lot even when not legit. There was no replay here, which was curious. Probably nothing, but since it’s OU, it is something.

    It was by the book OPI, but not flagrant enough that they would ever call it.

  9. Now we understand the delay on announcing Southern Miss to Sun Belt.  They were waiting for Tuesday!

    .@SunBelt officially added Southern Miss from C-USA on Friday, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. ODU, Marshall & JMU also expected to join Sun Belt, but haven't formally applied for membership. Liberty no longer interested in C-USA, now down to 5 schools https://actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/southern-miss-joins-sun-belt-other-conference-usa-schools-expected-to-join-soon?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=BrettMcMurphy

    I’m saying that it was much easier to cover things up 20+ years ago and that everyone involved had to know that even the slightest hint of a transgression would by hyper scrutinized. 

    im certainly not saying that I don’t believe the lawsuit, just that if it’s true it’s remarkable how stupid Franklin is. If it’s even somewhat true the program should be shut down  

    i also know that the attorney filing the lawsuit now has 3 active lawsuits against penn state. In one of them, an assistant AD is suing the school because he got demoted after a kid died in the frat house he was living in. He claimed he had no idea there was drinking going on at the house despite security footage showing him walking past a kid that was dying on the floor. 

    Look at what is going on in Loudoun County Virginia and the failure to report rapes and assaults.   People are still people.  They often act with groupthink in inexplicable ways.

    I could see where lack of quality control in Mexican and Chinese factories, I mean back yard sheds, could contribute to a multiple orders of magnitude lower cost structure than legit FDA approved US production process. But maybe that’s just me.

    China has cheap and sometimes slave labor.  They have no environmental standards so you have no idea what contaminates it.

  12. Partner and antagonist of the Dude of West Virginia-Greg Flugaur-sometimes referred to as the Dude of Minnesota.  Reposting of this tweet is for entertainment purposes only, while we are waiting on the UT/OU/Big 12 negotiations and for Marshall to get off the pot.  "BTM" is his anonymous "Big Ten Man" who gives him scoops.  Of what, well I'll let you decide.  Think its something I scoop out of my cat's box.
     
     
    "...Any Big Ten expansion is a 100 year decision. There is no Texas School available today or 10 years from now which would match Big Ten universities mission. Why would Big Ten Presidents pull trigger? What Texas school among TCU, Texas Tech & Houston. Detailed info next week.

    Heads Up: Next week more detailed info from BTM The Source on narrow but open pathway of Big Ten expansion happening during or right after next B1G negotiations. Schools involved would be Kansas + 1 Texas school. Media partner (FOX) interested in PAC & B1G entry into Texas...."

    It’s a pussy rule to begin with.  You should be able to mime a murder or sex act while you are running it in and it should be 15 yards on the kickoff. 

    That's not even taunting.  Its just high stepping.  Fire the refs.

    aggy back at #14. Lol.  
     

    I watched most of the Bama/Tennessee game and if Tennessee had not shot themselves in the foot, they had a chance to keep it close or even beat Bama on their home turf none the less.  Would have made the aggy win over Bama less impressive.   
     

    Bama did NOT look impressive.  Of course OU didn't either.  Or Cincinnati.  Ohio St. did well against bye.

     

  15. https://www.espn.com/college-football/rankings

    Sooners will be crying.  They were dropped 2 spots behind Cincinnati and Alabama for getting whipped by KU for 3 quarters.

    1.  Georgia, 2.  Cincinnati.  3. Alabama.  4. OU.  5.  Ohio St.  6.  Michigan.  7. Michigan St.  8. Oregon.  9.  Ole Miss  10. Iowa.

    Okie St. only dropped to 15, Baylor up to 18, Iowa St. slips in at 23.

    UTSA is 22.  Somehow Coastal Carolina and NC St. are still ranked.  Louisiana is sitting at 26 tied with Blue Coogs and Pigs are at 28 and Red Coogs at 29.  We have 3 votes at #38.

    College football is a great sport. You should watch more of it.

    Also, buy Phil Steele’s College Football Preview magazine every year. That way you’ll know all the teams, conference affiliations and independents, and all their schedules. And who their coaches are and how long they’ve been there. Plus every issue includes five years of prior W/L records for every team, including point spreads. Over the years you build a library and it’s a valuable historical reference.

    Last year’s issue will always be a treasured one because it lists all the schedules that never got played because of the pandemic. 

    Its got a ton of information.  Plus a lot of Phil Steele saying how great he is!

    I’ve bitched all season that our defenders engage blockers instead of shedding or avoiding them. Makes me all kinds of ragey. 

    Sometimes that is the point.  Draw blockers and let someone else get around and prevent holes.

    Doesn't seem to work that way too often, but sometimes that is what they are trying to do.
