  1. I posted in the Kiffin thread but Kiffin called fat boy out about it.
  2. Look at how well Florida rushed va Georgia. They’re not a bad running team. Only gave up 81 yards in the first half though. So not concerned.
  3. Everyone hates Big 12 officials the most though.
  4. Gerry Hamilton OnTexasFootball spoke with a source close to Texas 4-star++ safety commit Zelus Hicks (Carrollton, Ga./High). Hicks was on campus at Tennessee and Georgia Tech the last two weekends. This weekend, the 6-1, 185-pound safety will make an OV to Florida. The following weekend will be his OV to Texas for the Kentucky game.
  5. So you're going to schedule your celebration with friends and family during our playoff run? WTF MAN!
  6. @jimmyjazz @WinningIsHard @Thatguy I think we may have found a bigger pussy than Quinn Ewers.
  7. They had to put those teams in....if you read the entire thread you'd see their premise.
  8. I am convinced that the CFP uses the BCS formula to create their rankings. Instead of using AP/Coaches poll they each do their own rankings and use that for the human element. It makes no sense that they had to create this committee full of subjective people to create rankings when the BCS system worked, technically, but would be even better in a 4+ team playoff vs just picking two teams.
  9. And it's the university of Texas basketball fanbase having to watch RT coach.
