  1. I think this is the optimal result for us in this game. Something like UGA 23-21. Either that or Bama just blows UGA’s doors off by 3-4 TD’s. Either way we’ll still need FSU to lose. Worst case scenario would be Bama winning a close great game like the one last night. Have to leave no doubt that one of these teams deserves to be eliminated.
  2. I hope if we win one our players takes a can of black spray paint and writes “NWO” on the Big 12 logo
  3. Just start chanting “SEC! SEC! SEC!” and it will all feel better.
  4. I find it comforting. In an uncertain world, there will always be Helobius confidently predicting something that turns out to be completely wrong. Just as sure as the turning of the earth.
  5. I really don’t need to see you do that, but he just did
  6. This thread has not turned out the way I was expecting for the eve of our first conference title in 14 years.
  7. God bless ‘em because not much good comes out of that place.
  8. That matchup has bowl game letdown written all over it for us.
  9. Man, life in the SEC sounds outstanding! Can’t wait!
  10. Weigman is the real piece to watch. If he’s out, do they try to bring in Riley Leonard?
  11. At least Justice has enough sense to say ATM has everything in place to be a top 15 program. I think 15-20 is about right. Contrast to Josh Pate’s “top 3, maybe 4” statements.
  12. I like the early start. All the possibilities of the playoffs are still open to the players and they won’t be deflated by watching results in other games.
  13. All blowouts that went our way. Nice. Sark seems to have figured out that Quinn just can’t throw the deep ball accurately and hasn’t forced it nearly as much as he did last year.
  14. Seems like Remington Strickland should have a IV or V after his name.
  15. You’re thinking of Nico Iamaleava and the rumored total was $8 million https://247sports.com/Player/Nicholaus-Iamaleava-46101236/
  16. I don’t know what Robinson’s ambitions are, but the niche of a Rodney Garner or Bo Davis or Larry Johnson recruiter and developer of D-lineman pays very well these days, makes you in demand no matter what happens with your head coach, and comes with a lot less stress and pressure.
  17. Well, crap. First world problems, I guess.
  18. Technically, Maalik is the backup. I would expect him to portal if Quinn returns. From hearing some of the IT guys discuss it, Arch likely stays if Quinn comes back and given that Quinn can’t seem to play a whole season would probably get a few starts.
  19. Texas wins, confetti comes down, everyone is cheering, then all the lights go out and the gong hits. Crowd goes nuts and Taker comes out to deliver a Tombstone to Yormark on the 50 yard line.
  20. So are the boosters trying to set up a “turn key” situation for a new coach after they fire Napier in 2024? Because that schedule just sets him up for utter failure and a Charlie Strong/Derek Dooley 3 year run. I guess it worked for them when they fired Ron Zook after three years of great recruiting and subpar results when they hired Meyer.
  21. We are in a very similar spot to where we were in 2001. Coach with mostly his players in his 3rd year (4th for Mack) that made it to the CCG despite a loss to OU and playing an opponent we clearly should beat with a chance at playing for the national championship on the line. That year felt like we had stepped up to a new level, but left a bitter taste knowing the opportunity we had let slip away. We don’t have the regular season head to head with OSU the way we did with CU that year, but that CU team was really peaking coming into that game, having just ran all over an undefeated Nebraska team the week before that ended up playing for the BCS title. I don’t think OSU is nearly that good. Even with that result in 2001, in retrospect that was the year where Texas got truly back on the national stage. It was the first year of Mack’s 9 year run of winning 10+ games every season. It really feels like Sark has us heading in that direction, so I have to consider this season a success.
