  1. Not arguing, but there was a lot of chatter about him changing his mind and deciding to come back, then the bowl game happened and he seems to be gone.
  2. Legitimate-ish question/observation: Is it possible that some of the cold feet for Whittington has to do with the complete lack of accountability in the WR room, the bowl game target distribution, and the knowledge that he will never receive the kind of reception volume that more ...diva type receivers... receive, thus making returning kind of pointless?
  3. Brooks on bench and Worthy dropping balls. Not promising.
  4. Totally thought I was going to hear something else when I pressed play.
  5. This is what the hipster marketing people refer to as "messaging." Once it's out in the ether, then it becomes the conversation. It's a precursor to deflecting blame from the party boy freshman who is too busy making money and banging broads to work at the thing he is being paid to do. (Sidebar: This does not absolve the coaching staff for being shitty. It's just that when you have a shitty coaching staff and a player that thinks life owes him a blowjob, then you get our current situation.)
  6. Thought he looked better today. For freezing ass Kansas weather with crazy wind that basically shut down both passing games, he was able to deliver some pretty decent passes, all things considered. It helped that Bijan went crazy and removed the pressure, but I’ll take it.
  7. All this talk about Quinn sucking vs. Worthy sucking. Meanwhile Sark is drawing up a foolproof deep post with some window dressing saying to himself, "On 4th and 2 they'll never see THIS coming! I am certain that this time the players will execute."
  8. Drink up, we’re fucked. Ewers is fucked, the officials are fucked, we’re all fucked. Without a major change to the trend lines, of course.
  9. Zone, man, who gives a fuck. We can't cover either and our dumbass defenders are gonna fuck it up. Our only hope is Quinn remembers how to play QB, Worthy finds the ball in the air, and Bijan fucks Sonny Dykes in the ass at midfield in front of 100k screaming fans. We can win, but we ain't stoppin 'em.
  10. This should be pinned at the top of the thread. Poooooooor Aggies
  11. 30-24 Texas 56 plays for KSU, longest for 47 (it will be a rushing TD through a huge open hole in our DLine with several diving missed arm tackles by our secondary and at least one defender caught on screen jogging halfassed that maybe could have caught the runner but we'll never know).

    It's pretty simple. Yes, we played like shit and deserved most of the penalties against us. That's not the sticking point. The point is that the same motherfucking standard wasn't applied to the other team and they could hold/interfere with impunity. I have never in my life seen a college football team play an entire game and not get flagged. It should be impossible. On every play someone does something dirty/illegal/accidental, and all it takes is the ref seeing it and pulling the trigger. Mix in the circumstances and optics of all the conference realignment and "Big Bad Texas" complexes the other teams have, and it strains the bounds of credulity that OSU's 0 penalties were on the up and up. Goddamnit.
  13. I submit that we ignore the 4th quarter. The fact that the 3rd quarter score matched my prediction is a secondary consideration to my true motivation, which is to pretend like the 4th quarter never happened.
  14. Watched the game on my phone in the car. Told the wife we better play disciplined, because we had no margin for error. The refs were going to job us if they got the opportunity. Our only hope was to make plays and take it out of their hands. When we went up by 17 I briefly thought we were out of the woods. Then Sark turtled on his playcalling, and PK ran home to his soft zone mommy, and all of a sudden it felt inevitable. It didn’t help that Ewers didn’t have it today (again), Worthy was loafing and had to be spoon fed receptions because he sure as shit wasn’t going to lay out and make a play on any of the off throws, and a few extremely well timed flags killed anything we got going. TLDR; We played like shit, and the refs put in the screw job. Not a single penalty on a college football team that played an entire game. As if that’s even possible.
  15. We survived a freshman game from our savior. Too close for comfort, but it was good to see that Sark saw Quinn didn’t have it today and lean on his upperclassmen RBs. Now if PK will stop calling that soft zone shit on 3rd down we might be cookin.
  16. 41-10 Good guys win before halftime and we shut it down the rest of the way. 37 rushing attempts for 230 yds.
