  1. The entropy of college football has returned this year after a long hiatus under the Alabama, OSU, Georgia dynasties of hoarding talent an no one else can match. That is a good thing! Wish we were able to take advantage of it with all the paper talent we had this year, but it appears our OL, QB, and WRs have not lived up to potential. I could see the rest of the season being somewhere between a butt clench and a beating, but, hey, Georgia barely escaped Kentucky last year and ended up winning the conference. Maybe we decide to play OU-level football the rest of the way and surprise. One can dream.... Either way, I'll hope we develop a winning game plan against the mississippi aggies, warts and all. I won't miss being in Starkville, which, broadly speaking, sucks as a place to be in. Keep the dream alive for one more week and hope some faustian bargain made by Flood turns the OL into an actual deterrent for defensive rushers, and maybe Arch really just needs 8 games to settle down and hit his receivers.
  2. a) 2010 absolutely in my book, but wasn't old enough to appreciate '97 and before. And beating OU covers a lot of sins in the disappointment compartment. b) re:expectations - I think a lot of non-9.95 observers that had a clue knew that OL and WR were big question marks heading into the season. Most of them had yet to prove their potential in live games, but over the last few years the coaching staff earned some benefit of the doubt identifying the holes of the team and patching them. So, you hoped they knew they actually had enough unproven ballers to get us back to the playoffs. Well, that didn't happen this offseason, and you can put the blame on any number of things - staff evaluations, development, house settlement re:NIL, yada yada yada, but...yeah, we have problems. The true shocker to everyone was Arch. Maybe not everyone (with reasonable expectations) believed he would light the world on fire, but the number of mistakes he makes when he's NOT getting left out to dry by his OL is tough to square with how he played last year and his pedigree.
  3. Would you look at that two people got off their high horses and realized they had the same opinion, mostly. When I saw that fumble against UTEP I said out loud that was a stamp on his transfer papers for next year. I thought he could be our breakout guy this year if CJ didn't come back and resume his previous trajectory, but man it feels like it'd be hard to work out of the doghouse that many times. He still might with the RB injury bug still nagging us, but not sure if the coaches will trust him against SEC competition if they have other options.

  5. My vote, on the Livingstone bet, is that after he passes the 750 yard mark for the season (or whatever the ctj bet was), that he must show up to the next game's tailgate in a cutoff shirt that looks something like this: With an outline of a winking McJaggerson on the back
  6. That's my first instinct. I think they're monkeying with a few veteran player's positions to see what kind of looks they can put together. They already know their base positions well enough to be able to rep someplace else and not get over-extended.
  7. Maybe the first AI slop I've seen worthy of a post in a normal thread. Though that bonus.....finger?....makes me a little uncomfortable
  8. Shot calla' 20 inch blades, on the impala
  9. Just glad Johntay could get back to the Big 12.... AI or just bad at his job? I'm guessing a little of column A, little of column B
  10. Yeah, I mean, if we're throwing out pedantry over here, I think MUCH is pretty accurate. 60% seems like Much. Maybe a stretch to call it Most. But I think we can all agree it's a preponderance. I don't think anyone's arguing they haven't had enough time to create a less petty, underachieving, self important, glory-by-association, didn't-lose-just-ran-out-of-time, little brother culture. It's just that their considerable history as ROTC weirdos still informs their present co-ed, less-military-focused brand of kookiness.
  11. Personally, I think he should stick around 3 more years. Take a redshirt, cruise through college at a leisurely pace, then go win his third straight natty in at the Superdome (look it up!). Fairytale ending for the greatest college quarterback of all time. Maybe the Saints will tank for him (not a stretch) and he can follow in pop pop's footsteps. Just spitballin' here.
  12. I think Quinn excelled at a few hard to quantify things. On his one-reads, quick throws, etc., he was exceptional not a just hitting the guy but putting it in the right spot to allow for receivers to maintain momentum, keep their eyes up, and get downfield/make guys miss. It's easy to say all quarterbacks can do that, but I would be willing to bet a deep analysis would put him in the top tier of that particular skill. And I think that's part of why Sark schemed so heavily that direction (along with very fast and shifty skill guys). I also saw him make a bunch of reads for developing downfield plays that most QBs at the college level don't see/anticipate well enough to make the play. His ability to hit those shots, though, were up and down, luckily more up than down this last year (4th and 13 woo!). To me, his MAJOR flaw is navigating the pocket. It's like he plays with blinders on. Can't feel pressure, doesn't step up well, doesn't escape well, and to your point it means he gave himself very few opportunities to create, and walked into sacks WAY too often. If he learns that at the next level, I believe he has the rest of the skillset to be a creative, off-platform guy. But he never did in 3 years here, so I'll believe it when I see it.
  13. You forgot our 3 star DE that detonated their fourth and goal play and broke their lil hearts
  14. 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.
