I have no particular feelings on Rice just because we haven't played them during my football-watching lifetime.
You aren't missing anything.
Rice is a goofy, nerdy, wannabe Ivy League school that doesn't take football seriously enough to stay in FBS. The first CFB game I ever saw in person was Rice vs Bayor at their cavernous stadium in 1980. Walter Abercrombie took the opening toss sweep 80 yards for a TD on the first play of the game, and it didn't get any better from there.
TXST > Rice

I see ND had a long series with Indiana in the late 19th and early 20th century, presumably for the same reasons. I don’t know why they stopped playing much for the last six decades. Are you ok with ND being given a slate that has them playing g Indiana every year? Because of the history?
Probably bc Indiana and Purdue got tired of getting beaten by ND's hired, Chicago thugs.

As a fan of the sport with no rooting interest in either side, Texas playing SMU would be way more interesting to me than Texas playing Ole Miss.
Agreed
IDK when beating Ole Miss became a big deal. Joey Freshwater has a bird's nest on the ground there. He can keep his job going 8-4 or 9-3 every year playing a dogshit OOC sked.

Shut up about thread titles, the real problem is the stupid fucking Texas! Fight! thread every Friday before games. We haven't won shit since that started on whatever board it was at the time. So corny and has brought nothing but bad juju.
It's like the wave for Longhorn internet message boards. We almost won this week because South Austin couldn't start it but then troph screwed everything up.
TEXAS !!!

If Livingstone's right arm was not knocked down and then pinned during the attempted catch, I believe he would have reeled it in. I've posted on this a couple of times. It happens so quickly in real time, that I don't really fault the official for not catching it, but on the replay from the endzone view, it's clear as day.
Yeah, that technically may have been DPI by rule.
In real time at game speed, very few flank officials will see it or call it when it's bang-bang like that. The BJ had no view of it, so the call would have to come from the sideline officials. DB just made good play on the ball.

By the way, Saban mentioned he has been walking practices, viewing the team, etc. He already has an office he still uses. That does not sound like a healthy situation to me.
DeBoer was a fool to leave U-Dub for this situation. But he'll enjoy the buyout life for a while before he lands his next gig. The money and Bama's pedigree were too good to pass up.

Amazing what one can see when he goes back and watches the tape with the benefit of pause and replay. You'll often find that player execution, or lack thereof, had more to do with outcomes than the plays that were called. There's a reason coaches defer answering specific questions about plays or players until they've had a chance to watch the tape. No one can see everything that happens in real time.
FWIW, I did watch all of Manning's passes on YT the day after the game. I just can't watch the whole game twice. But, yeah, that's why coaches gotta watch the tape to diagnose the plays and performance.

Does the B12 have value? We’ll find out how much in the next media contract. Until then, Cody Campbell will try to drive national media revenue sharing. 😂
If any Left Behind wants to play a non-con game in Austin, or maybe even a 2-1 split, I suggest they begin their call with CDC’s assistant with, “Thank you for carrying us for all those decades”.UT's home games are all sold out, correct?
We'll see how the actual gate and revenue get hit with the 3 spares we have lined up: SJSU, UTEP, and Sam. Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to a 2 for 1 with Tech or Okie St. UH, TCU, and Baylor can rightfully fuck off, though.

I've gone back and watched the game twice now, because I hate myself. I am in complete agreement with you. Sark started off with a somewhat vanilla game plan, although not nearly as vanilla as people have been saying. The more I watch, the more I see open pass catchers that Arch didn't even try to hit. And that's on top of the times he made the right reads but fucked up the throw.
Why do this to yourself? I must say I admire your intestinal fortitude, though.
