I'm trying to understand a few things here: 1) You think people are going to look at AP voted rankings and then stop watching the game on tv? Is this a serious concern or position? Do you know how long the rankings have been idiotic? Longer than there have been tvs in most households. This goes back to the beginning, and yet viewership and interest only goes stronger. 2) You think the "2 wins vs top 25 opponents" statement is going to continue to carry water? Neither of those teams are still in the top 25. Hell, I'm not sure either Florida or Boise are even getting many votes at all. Texas went through the same shit last year. Opened the season with 4 ranked teams on the schedule and beat all but one of them. By the end of the year, many of those teams were no longer ranked and idiots were ridiculing Texas, a program that will play anyone, anywhere, any time, for having a weak schedule. They got ZERO credit for those teams being ranked earlier in the year (Michigan, OU, ATM).

"We shall see!" - Uh, no, we are seeing. They're quarter of the way through their schedule. 3 TDs, 3 INTs, completing less than 60% of his passes and looking generally like dogshit against quality opponents.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I don't know what the deal is regarding Owens. I know that there is a strongly held belief that Lacey is a 5 star stud in a 3 star body. Now, given the questions many of us have regarding the QB coaching and the staff involved, I don't know how reliable that thinking really is. -
@TreatyOak is going to come by at any minute and show us his receipts regarding Cade Klubnik so far this season. He's looked super awesome, as has Clemson overall.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Unfriendly reminder to idiots posting on this thread about Quinn Ewers and what all that entails - there is a thread dedicated to that shit, so go the fuck over there with Ewers stories and fantasies. Thanks. In other news, clearly something that is happening right now that isn't working is Sarkisian getting way too fucking cute with personnel and playcalling management. Regarding personnel, yeah, January can't go because he's got a throat injury. Maybe Baxter can't go with a real hamstring injury. A lot of the other guys being held out for dings and cuts need to be getting reps with their units, as much for the unit as for the player. "It's a long season" as a refrain sounds dumber than a soliloquy from Spider2YWhateverTheFuckThatIdiotIsCallingHimselfNow. This is not a playoff team as currently presented. This is 1991 Texas incarnate. Get guys out there and figure out some cohesiveness, as they all might be/probably are playing 13 games max this season. If Sarkisian and his combover idiot friend know that Yips Manning isn't going to be fixing much by Florida, have some fucking courage and put in the Caldwell spare early against SHSU and let's see what he can do with the first team unit. Regarding playcalling, it's time to go in the bag a bit for Arch Rocker and let him cut some deep balls loose, early. If he lands a few of those, maybe that loosens the guy up and his bugs get fixed. If that happens and he's still Glitch Manning, then go back to the earlier point about Caldwell. Get him in there. At some point, Texas needs to be running the actual offense that Sarkisian wants it to run. This is a brutally inexperienced offense. They need to be figuring out how the actual playbook functions at full speed and seeing reps there. Other personnel things that should be getting analyzed are: 1) LG - they played Stroh with the 1st unit exclusively in order to get them gelling. How did that work out? If progress isn't being made there, let someone else get similar reps in this next game. 2) 3rd String QB - Lacey has passed Owens. However, they want him to redshirt. If Arch Knoblauch isn't functional and Caldwell gets hurt or sucks as well, Lacey would ostensibly be the guy. All 5'10", 170 pounds of him. So get the guy reps against SHSU in the second half and let him run the offense.- 7926 replies

He’s missing guys by 4 yards on short and stop routes. This is straight up psychological. Insisting otherwise just shows your abject stupidity and the rest of us aren’t in the mood for it.- 7926 replies

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
@Red Five We finally know why Sarkisian went out and got Caldwell. We were told it was related to concerns with Owens. Now I realize that the dude was watching Arch Knoblauch in practices and scrimmages and realized he needed some form of a backup plan, asap. -
I have zero concerns going forward [OP is a Fucking Liar]
closetojumping replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Thread title isn’t quite Alabama Ball Gargling or Sam Bradford Seems Like He Sucks levels yet, but it is trending there, and it’s making me laugh when I visit the site and see it near the top. Garrett Gilbert? Hell, I’d take Garrett Gilbert. Arch Manning isn’t in danger of becoming Garrett Gilbert. He looks like he’s already become the football version of Chuck Knoblauch. Steve Sax is starting to worry that Manning might have the fucking yips. I’m not “worried” about it, personally. I’m sure of it. That dude couldn’t be more mentally weak between the lines on a football field if he was carrying a stuffed animal out there with him and sucking on his pacifier. -
Kelly represents Plonsky’s Last Stand. That’s been good enough to keep her job a few times, but those cards have all been played. Outside of a miracle, I assume Texas has a newer, better coach to open the 2026 season.

UCLA's return to dominance no longer featuring DeShaun Foster
closetojumping replied to satyanash's topic in Football
I said this in the random game thread last night, but I feel like repeating it here: Del Conte needs to have his hair on fire getting UCLA on the schedule, maybe even for this year in the second bye week. Add a 13th game next year, whatever it takes. I think we have a losing record against these bastards and they’ve had a history of catching Texas as just the wrong time. We need this. Let’s go, right now. -
He’s gotten into some really, really fringey pussy. We’re not here to shame.
-
How quickly can we get UCLA back on the schedule? Can we dump UTSA and get them on there next year? We need like 3 or 4 in a row here with these guys, as well quickly as possible.
-
Also, the intentional grounding call against Weigatron when the defender was trying to rip his head off was a typically terrible Big 12 officiating call. Holy shit.

Avery Johnson looks like a fucking clown with that hairdo. You’re a leader of a P4 team, you fucking dumb shit. Cut your hair you fucking hippie.

You're just biased against Texas State's chief rival. Incarnate Word is best not trifled with if ASU knows what's good for them.

Johntay Cook dismissed from the football team.
closetojumping replied to El Moco's topic in Football
I've posted your profile pic as my own on the Syracuse 247 site and have been posturing as Cook's father and a Syracuse insider for months. I've confessed that I run a small graphics and promotions shop in Westlake and took Johntay in awhile back after the rest of the world turned its back on him and his methheadery. I've acquired quite the north-central New York region following. -

That's pretty mean to talk about @TreatyOak and his son in that manner. -

Turned out to be pointless, as they don't even work on Macs there. Seattle was fun, nonetheless.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Suddenly, I'm being told that I have to go and use the tickets. I'll be in the SEZ with 3 teens/pre-teens watching this game with what I expect to be one of the most bored groups of 90+k people in the history of sports gatherings. It's going to have the energy of a crowd waiting 45 minutes past the scheduled start time for John Tesh to begin a concert. Maybe it is the influence from reading these threads this week, I don't know, but I am starting to expect to see an offensive bedshitting the likes of which would make Lynn Amedee and Greg Davis blush. My only solace in that actually occurring would be witnessing the hyperventilating on this site in the aftermath. immamac commits seppuku, codaxx is walking around in a circle counting prime numbers while muttering about PFF grades, various nonchalants like texifornia and Js1 profess their insouciance, and a group of ne'erdowells led by SydneyCarton and Red Five plot the ritualistic shaving of BO&W's prepubescent scrotum in a move designed for both sacrifice to the college football gods and seeking a sense of catharsis. So we have that going for us, which is nice.- 7926 replies

Texas A&M Football 2025 - On the Edge of Glory(holes)
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I despise the preferential treatment that ND perpetually receives. The fawning over them when they're good from the national media is nauseating as well. That said, I will be cheering wildly for them to win this game. I will cheer for ATM to win one game and one game only - whenever they play OU. That's it. They're going to run their mouths like the idiots they are, sun, rain, sleet or snow, but it's 10 times worse when they win anything worth a shit, like a game in South Bend. As to the premise of a loss to ATM putting ND out of the playoff conversation, sure, there's a silver lining there, I guess. Of course, I may have bad news for you - if ND is 10-2 at the end of the year, the committee will somehow find a way to justify putting them in and pissing all of us off. Texas just needs to take care of its own business. Regardless, to each their own on how they root. Carr looked pretty good against a top 10 team on the road. If you don't think ND has a QB after that performance, I'd hate to hear about you think about, ahem, ... other programs and their new QBs. -
Week Three CFB Preview: Start Up the Meat Grinder
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in Football
We were with friends who went to WVU and they were dressed up in WVU gear, so we didn't get anything besides the light-hearted stuff from others. For all of the "Morgantown is a lot of fun!" that I've read on the boards over the years, I didn't really get it. We black car-ed to and from Pittsburgh, so maybe we missed part of the charm by not staying there, but we tailgated and went to some famous local haunts for food and drinks. Went to the school bookstore, etc. It was all fine, but I didn't find anything extraordinary about the place. They were also very docile after getting pummeled.
