You forgot our 3 star DE that detonated their fourth and goal play and broke their lil hearts

Yeah man, seems like at least one of your facts ain't straight. If the game's at 2:30, I'd probably pop on some Craig Way for the drive in, drop her off, and go to the Tavern or some such to watch the game. If it's close when the party wraps, have her uber over to you. Though, I would still have money on night game since it'll likely be too huge to pass up for the primetime spot.

Yeah just went back and took a look at those drive killers (holds). Helm's was pretty BS, a couple other holds were maybe borderline but I can see how you call them. I certainly thought they were all BS in the heat of the moment. Problem for us was they were almost all on big plays. Looking back through the drives, we only really had one real 'failed' drive, that was in the second quarter. All the other non-TD drives were behind the chains from holding calls or fumbles. The rest were TDs. But I guess that's what you get playing a generally successful ball control scheme-fewer bites at the apple

Yeah I feel like this play has been run a few times re:ATM where a commit gets an under the table 'bonus' to cancel a visit or do something else that, if nothing else, helps perceived momentum. No idea on the mechanics but 'i'll give you this bag today if you don't visit this weekend' feels about right to me, and seems to have been hinted at by mods on both sides. My supposition is that the standard MO of the fabled aggy pool party was similar to this. Have someone take each kid aside, offer them x amount, give them a sweetener if they commit on the 'one day special', and then hotbox them to commit with coaches/players/other commits applying pressure. This, of course, started right before NIL, but I bet continues on on some level with the grey area mentioned above

Is the thread name Pedantic Circlejerk already taken?

My dream scenario is pretty close to this. 8 Team playoff. Now that we have 4 power conferences, winning teams of Conf. Championships get home games for the quarterfinals, losers go home (and cannot make the playoff). 3 At-larges, 1 G5 guaranteed at least the 8th spot. Effectively, it's a 12 team playoff because the conference championships are de-facto playoff games, but then they really, actually matter. Though teams that don't make the conference championships that get in may have the benefit of rest, they have to play an away game as a 'compromise'. As a bonus, the conference champion fans get an awesome experience and environment with an extra home game mega-matchup, which they don't have to travel for. It may also be imperfect, but it means regular season matters (mostly), conference position and championships matter, and the best teams get a badass home game every year.

Very nicely done. I did the back of napkin on your sheet for Texas and we're at 55/82 if I did the math right for a 67% ratio. .922 Average, I'm guessing cause there were ~10 guys at .89, i.e. very few scrubs.

I would imagine that the 12 team playoff quarterfinals and semis will be the NY6 bowls and then a rotating NFL stadium for the championship, like they're doing today. I also think that's part of why they structured it this way that there's still 6 major bowls (fiesta, sugar, rose orange, cotton, peach), even though there's now home games for the first round.

The "football isn't fun unless we win every game" mindset is a sad way to go through life man. Maybe 7-8 teams ever have had a run as good as we had through 10 years of Mack, and one of those was the Texas DKR years. And as for losing to OU half the time, that's why it's a rivalry. They're one of the best teams in the nation most years, and we still have the series record on them.

Jalen's sack Hurts bad Not sure if football or scrote Either one will do
