Their completely unwarranted hubris. FIFY

You cite an ESPN article and then conclude he probably doesn’t have any better options than QB2 at Texas? That is some Football Board-quality posting right there.

There were definitely GA tickets available close to the race for less than face value on ticket services. If they really want that much for GA then I’m either doing a grandstand or will wait to buy as prices drop. There’s no way GA can hold $475 all the way up to the race.

Genuine question since I didn’t watch F1 during the refueling era, was refueling actually more entertaining? I’ve gone back and watched some races where they had refueling and it seemed like it limited the amount of wheel to wheel action between the best cars and the only suspense was how long the pit stop would take and where the leaders were after their final pit stop. Usually there would be a decent gap and then you knew who would win without much actual fighting on track.

This is the part that definitely needs to change. It’s ridiculous to lock teams in after one session. RB is the bets run team on the grid and most of their worst races were sprint weekends, like Austria and Brazil where they got the setups wrong, because one session isn’t enough. Now we’re going to have 6 weekends where teams have to just guess and hope they got the setup right? It’s ridiculous .

I exceeded your mom’s limits.

Shitty loss, but this team is still damn good. Hopefully we learn to close out games moving forward. We struggled to close out both Creighton and this game.

Seriously. Hunter being a 90% FT shooter and missing the front of a 1 and 1, Rice having two horrible defensive possessions, Carr’s horrible final shot, just terrible finishing around the rim all night. This should’ve been a comfortable win already.

What in the actual fuck are we doing?

I am an idoit.

I’m really starting to wonder if Illinois is going to score another point this game. We are shutting these motherfuckers down!

Got dam I love this team. They are so fun to watch on both ends of the floor.

Alright fellas, time to pull away and end this thing. Edit: and right as I wrote that, we throw it away…

Well, 2022 might have been a shit show of epic proportions with strategy and reliability fighting each other to the death for the most points cost title and we may have rampant dysfunction and no team principal to speak of, but 2023 will be Ferrari’s year, dammit!

Hopefully USC followed through on all that money they promised him. I never got why he didn’t just declare for the draft after putting up almost 1600 yards and 17 TDs.

We got the scoop on Worthy to USC?!

Got dam. That half was terrible. We wasted opportunities and have no clue what to do with the ball in the final third. Not nearly enough creativity. Oh and horrible giveaways in the midfield and lazy tracking, leaving them open for two great opportunities they put away. Just terrible all around. And that’s not even mentioning Berhalter’s shitty lineup and tactics. JFC.

That game was such a weird grouping of former UT players. Watching Cam Rising hand off to Jaquendin Jackson was certainly weird to watch. They also got a great shot of Malcom Epps looking very engaged on the sideline.

Well yeah, that’s kind of 6th Street’s whole thing. We’re talking about a guy who wanted Sam to be benched for a redshirt freshman Casey Thompson.

He got kicked from a Jimbo program in year one. That’s a massive red flag. Jimbo will overlook all kinds of shit, sexual assault, drug charges, etc. So he was either a massive character problem that’s not likely to fix itself or he’s nowhere near as good as advertised.

Exactly. If he doesn’t cancel practice and throw a pizza party, then he has no clue how to be a head coach in today’s game.

They have a massive depth issue already and it will only worsen as more guys transfer. they processed a ton of bad evals from previous classes last year, but are now seeing huge attrition in the 21 and 22 classes this year. Combine that with most of the guys Jimbo hit on in 19 and 20 leaving early, and they’re not going to have many upperclassmen who can contribute. On top of that, their 23 class is extremely small, so they’re not getting a ton of contributors from there. So they’ll have to bring a ton of guys in form the portal, but they’re currently spending a shit ton just to retain their current guys from the 22 class. So even if they keep a lot of the 22 guys they want, their depth will be absolutely horrible and they’ll fall apart as soon as injuries hit. They’d have to have extremely good injury luck next year to keep it together. Im sure someone can post it, but if you look at a depth chart or scholarship distribution for A&M this season and then subtract guys graduating/leaving early and all the portal guys, the chart starts to look very thin real fast.

I think it will. The antitrust issues that have led to the all the other NCAA cases being a complete beat down of the NCAA still apply even if they allow a one-time transfer. It’s still a restriction of the athletes’ ability to play, since the NCAA has a monopoly on college athletics. I think they would be very hard-pressed to distinguish this from the other cases they’ve lost, and I think they’re less likely to even try to do so. I’ll be pretty surprised if players who lawyer up don’t get an additional waiver.
