Unpopular Opinions Thread
The first time I watched it, I thought it was the dumbest movie I’d ever seen. However, I changed my mindset and watched it again, the next time just rolling with the stupidity. It’s now one of my favorite comedies ever and I’ve seen it probably ten times. It is a genius movie but you have to get comfortable with dumb. Embrace dumb.

If Texas plays OSU in the playoffs I think Texas beats them by 17.

2025 CFB Polls/Rankings Thead
Michigan, Auburn, LSU, Georgia, Penn State, A&M, OU, and ND are not as good as people think they are. OSU, Ole Miss, Oregon, and Miami are as good as people think they are. Texas and Tech are better than people think they are, right now (as compared to preseason, when Texas was number one).

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
So we are most of the way thru the cowboys Netflix special and there’s one thing we can’t quite understand. We know for a fact that most of the players felt Barry Switzer was worthless in the Super Bowl run. Yet they made Aikman look like the bad guy, with Emmitt, Irvin, and Haley speaking favorably about Switzer. That was not reality. So why did those players get on camera and talk positively about Switzer? What does Jerry Jones still hold over these guys heads? Aikman was a bit pissed he was made to look like the bad guy when the whole team was fed up with Switzer.

As a massive sports fan, I thought I'd never drop cable/streaming. But....I'm just tired of the cost, eventhough we can afford it. I'm just sick of companies taking me for granted.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
He made tough throws. He was relatively accurate. He hit a long ball perfectly. He previously looked like crap against bad teams. This was a major step forward.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Holy shit. Finally watched the Sam Houston game. Arch was fantastic. I don’t care if they were playing a high school team. I didn’t get a sense that surly was excited enough about his performance.

So I had to rewire my tvs and stereos to handle dropping Uverse and picking up YouTube tv. There are some complicated settings that are very poorly described in the tv and stereo manuals. Anyway, I started running into some issues with sound output to the stereo. Two one minute sessions on ChatGPT immediately solve multiple issues. It was incredible. It told me every setting, step by step, for all devices, to solve multiple sound issues. Amazing. I would have previously spent hours on Google and in the manuals trying to figure out the solution. ChatGPT is a game changer.

Tell me about ou
I’m not defending anything. You said it yourself. No one seems to know much about the injury. All Oklahoma said was that he’d be out for awhile and return later in the season. Why are you so angry?

This isn’t my opinion. It’s Klatt’s. Take it up with him.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
The only point of my post was to share an observation by a pretty smart ex-player and current announcer, Klatt, that he believes Tech is really on to something to deal with really good defenses. Given Texas’ struggles the last year or so with Georgia and OSU defenses, I found it interesting. I think we’ve all been conditioned to believe that the Sark offense is superior because it does perform well overall, it helps recruiting, and at times looks great. Tech maybe has found another approach that looks promising. I would guess no one else is doing it because it’s not yet proven, and you’d have to know all three schemes to create it, which isn’t easy. edit: oh, and as far as using LLM’s to game plan and call plays, it’s already happening.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
It’s weird how this thread went down the path of “Arch is the problem”, rather than discussing the Sark scheme vs what Tech is supposedly doing. My original comment wasn’t specific to this year. So, in the interest of getting back to the original comment by Klatt, here is what a combined Leach, Malzahn and Briles offense looks like compared to the Sark Pro/West Coast scheme, which has some complexity,according to an LLM analysis: Leach (Air Raid core) Philosophy: Simplicity, small playbook, repetition, high completion %. Signature Elements: Mesh, Four Verts, Y-Cross, shallow crosses, spacing concepts. QB Role: Quick decision-maker, distribute ball, throw accurately. Malzahn (Power Spread tempo) Philosophy: Play fast, wear out defenses, force misalignments. Signature Elements: Inside zone, power, buck sweep, QB run game, jet sweeps, RPOs. QB Role: Must be a run threat, making zone-read and RPO decisions. Briles (Baylor wide-split vertical spread) Philosophy: Maximize horizontal space to open vertical shots. Signature Elements: Ultra-wide WR splits, deep choice routes, glance/slant RPOs, power run paired with vertical bombs. QB Role: One- or two-read throws — if safety creeps, bomb it deep. A Hybrid “Leach + Malzahn + Briles Offense” It would look something like this: Base Identity: Air Raid passing core (simplicity, repetition, QB-friendly concepts). Run game from Malzahn (power spread, tempo, QB run threat, jet sweeps). Formational stress from Briles (extreme splits to force defenses to declare coverage and create space). Tempo & Install: Playbook size: Small (like Leach/Briles), maybe 20–25 core concepts. Play speed: Malzahn-style hurry-up, one-word calls. Execution: Drill same plays endlessly until automatic. How it Attacks Defenses: Horizontal stretch: Briles’s extreme WR spacing widens the field. Vertical stretch: Air Raid Four Verts + Briles deep shots keep safeties honest. Run-game stress: Malzahn’s inside zone, QB power, and sweeps force defenses to load the box. Tempo stress: Defenses have no time to sub or disguise coverages. QB Responsibility: Make simple RPO/zone-read decisions (Malzahn). Identify coverage leverage pre-snap using wide splits (Briles). Execute quick timing throws and progressions (Leach). Must be mobile enough to be a run threat. What It Would Look Like on the Field Formation: WRs spread almost to the sideline (Briles). Tempo: Snap ball within 10–15 seconds of play end (Malzahn). Play Call: One-word code (e.g., “Vegas” = inside zone + glance RPO + backside mesh tag). Options Built-In: QB can hand off (Malzahn), Throw quick glance/slant to WR if DB is off (Briles), Or hit a mesh/spacing route if pressure shows (Leach). ✅ Bottom Line: This hybrid offense would be simple to learn (like Leach/Briles), brutal to defend (like Malzahn/Briles), and adaptable across talent levels. It would stress defenses in every dimension — width, depth, tempo, and assignment discipline.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
I feel the Texas offense is missing a component. They get shut down against teams with strong DLs. So it was interesting to hear Joel Klatt talking about the Tech offense. He said he’s in love with what they are doing, that they’ve taken the Leach offense, combined it with the Gus Malzahn running game and the Briles deep game to create an offense that can respond to whatever a defense tries to stop. I don’t know specifically what that means, but it sounds intriguing and now I want to watch Tech play to see what they are doing. They also won against Utah with a true freshman backup QB who supposedly played great. So it has to be an offense that isn’t too difficult to learn.

So I’m using YouTube tv for the next few days. I’ve been using it off and on over the last month. However I can’t figure out how to go right to a channel i want to watch. For example, on cable I would just type in a channel number. How do I go right to cnbc, for example?
