    Great job, ESPN:

    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

    Much of it's history?

    The compulsory corps and ROTC ended 60 years ago and they've been a coed school for 56 years. That's damn near 40% of their history, and quickly approaching the majority.

    Every aggy born since ~1950, went to a coed, non-compulsory ROTC school.

    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.

    This.. Arch is most likely here for 2 years. If he leaves, we will all likely be drunk and smiling on Jan 20th, 2026. Really no reason to worry about it right now, a lot of shit has to happen between now and then. 

    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.

    Boy, they still have it in their heads that our culture is bad, we don't develop talent, and that we are weak in the trenches. They got all that after we pushed their shit in for 60 straight minutes playing a 3 star backup LT, a 3 star LG, a 3 star C and a 3 star TE. And our walkon safety picked them off, broke up another pass and had a TFL while delivering an emotional post-game speech about a fallen teammate while showing an incredible amount of restraint and class.

    But yeah... it's all about NIL and Texas buying players. That's the only reason Texas is any good. We've had top 5 recruiting classes forever and jack shit to show for it. 

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

    While it would be immensely funny for you to frantically drive around the wrong part of town while your wife’s anger, frustration and disappointment grows, I’m surprised no one has pointed out that “the Bowie” is not located on Rainey Street.  The Bowie is in fact located off of West Sixth street… 15-20 min away from Rainey at peak times.

    You’re clearly not cut out for this.  Just hire a professional and stay at home. 

    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.

    The Helm hold was a bullshit call. 

    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

    Ahead of the dawn of NIL, we all debated what it could all mean, and many argued various points about the presence of the bag game in that future era.

    -Some proclaimed that NIL wouldn’t matter and that the bag game would rage on.

    -Others said the bag game would disappear forever. 

    -Some of us discussed how dark markets function even when an open market is also present. 

    The latter is what has unfolded. Just like bootlegging moonshine still exists as a thing, the bag game is still around for purpose with those willing to be involved. It’s not prominent, but it can make an appearance if a player or family is connected to someone willing to take a bag in lieu of the right long term answer for the player. This could be a street agent or a trainer or, kind of unbelievably, a high school coach. 

    Many times in the past few years, the stickiness of that character in a recruitment has been melted away if the family can get back to a campus where the coaches can get real about the earning power through NIL and the player’s rights. 

     

    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

    No polls until Oct

    No repeat games for conference championships. 

    7 highest rated conference champions and 1 at large. You want to bitch about being left out, win your conference. It also might stop conferences from growing to the ungodly number they have now. Conferences should be regional anyway (8teams). I also always liked the Cinderella stories from basketball, small schools just might upset some teams. Strongest conference would get 2 in. 

    Top 4 conference winners get home games

    might not be perfect but it's my wish

     

     

    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.

    Here's what I track based on composite ratings of .90 or higher (I don't track stars). Transfers get their transfer rating, not their HS rating. However, it just shows the rating at NSD (for HS) or on the commitment date (transfers). I don't check the ratings to see if they've been updated. It's not perfect, but it's at least a step in the right direction.

    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.

  10. 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.

    Yes, like i said, other than 2-3 years when we played like Bama and OSU, we have underachieved. This shit can't turn around soon enough.

    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.
