  1. I almost bought it yesterday. Not too worried about the differences from past versions or anything like that. What halted me was the bullshit business practice of not including everything in the base game. If you want all the leaders and their UU and UA, you have to shell out almost twice as much for the “special” version that includes everyone. That right there is why they’re not getting anything out of me until it’s complete and goes on sale. I would be ok with a slightly buggy game on release that needed patches, as long as I got the entire game on purchase. This locking content behind additional paywalls is bullshit.
  2. That is clearly Blake Griffin in a wig.
  3. Conspiracy Theory: Tucker is the most accurate FG kicker in history. After this last season, his percentage plunged and now shitass Harrison Butker is within half a percentage point of him. Knowing he was on the downward slide, and with his status as the GOAT in jeopardy, Tucker had his people leak the rumors to the newspaper and point them in the right direction. Now he'll be forced to retire with his FG percentage intact, with no danger of further slippage. Fin
  4. Much like when Bert Auburn lined up to kick during this past season, I will hope for the best and expect the worst.
  5. Congrats NorthLoop, well played.
  6. Watching ND physically work OSU makes me sad and angry about what could have been.
  7. Y'all take it easy on this guy. One cannot control being the product of inbreeding.
  8. I’ve about had it with this public domain “rock” music they’re playing into commercial breaks. With the millions they’re making, can’t they at least shell out for the real Panama?
  9. It was at number 3 that I became concerned about scrolling down.
  10. OSU 34 UT 31 UT Total Yards 398
  11. Thank you! My old man and myself were trying to figure out who the hell's signature that was at a tailgate.
  12. I'm just tuning in to watch the dumbasses not understand that history is typically measured against contemporaries. Shit changes over time. Cumulative stats are inflated by longer careers/terms of service. Only someone with the brain of a child would judge the following simply by their counting stats instead of their impact on history: Rolls Royce Silver Ghost vs. Honda Civic: Ghost has a top speed of 60 mph and a 4 speed clutch. Honda Civic runs away with it. Jesse Owens vs. Derrick Florence (1986 Galveston Ball HS): Florence would smoke Owens 10.13 to 10.3. Red Grange 1925 vs. Keaontay Ingram 2019: Ingram's 853 yds exceed the Galloping Ghost by about 250 yds. So I guess some of us would say that the Honda Civic was a better car than the Silver Ghost, Derrick Florence is a better athlete than Jesse Owens, and that Red Grange was an inferior running back to Keaontay Ingram. The rest of us would say that times change, and of course Jesse Owens is a better historical athlete than some rando high school kid none of us has ever heard of. To wit: VY Street Colt Layne Ewers Ewers jumps Layne with a title. Shoutout to Carlisle and Phillips for winning titles.
  13. Was just referencing the whole Dabo thing. He’s cooked going forward.
  14. Unfortunately, the purview of the modern college football coach includes that exact thing.
  15. We saw this song and dance with Clemson. Matchup announced Initial reactions range from "Texas slaughters them" to "Texas wins comfortably" Talking heads start saying "well actually..." to position themselves as contrarian and present a dissenting opinion as part of the natural news cycle More talking heads start parroting the possibility of an upset Prominent talking heads give airtime and credence to the idea that the plucky underdog actually is pretty damn good and identify Texas as a team vulnerable to an upset Fans of both teams start buying the media version of reality. Texas fans start shitting themselves in fear, underdog fans start believing they actually have a chance Gameday arrives, Texas wins by 2 touchdowns and covers.
  16. I grabbed -12.5 this morning on Mybookie. Free money indeed.
  17. Texas 38 ASU 13 UT Rushing Yards 262
  18. I'm limiting myself to things I saw live. Vince 4th and 5 Self explanatory Shipley '08 kickoff return in the Shootout Gooners were number 1, we looked dead in the water against them up until that point. Then Shipley ran from end to end the fastest I've ever seen and the rest of that season took off. Run Ricky Run Breaks the record against the Aggos. Perfect. Roll Left Mackovich rolls the dice and we dethrone the king. '05 Red River Shootout We break the wall down. Jamaal Charles. Rodrique Wright. Billy Pittman. Bomar. It was cathartic.
