    Not without vastly improved QB play.

    This loss was particularly disappointing because we saw Texas get physically outclassed for the first time in 2 years. I don't see how you fix that other than getting better players. Not sure how we would stack up against Oregon or OSU, but without otherworldly QB play (ha) it's hard to imagine us beating a healthy UGA if we meet again.

    Pretty much how I feel. I was critical of Sark the first 2 seasons, but he won me over last year. That said, he's been outcoached several times already in big games. And the more time both teams have to prepare, the less confidence I have. Great program/culture builder, subpar/average game planner. He's the bizaro Herman. Maybe Sark can bring him in as an analyst when he gets fired from FAU.

    They really are fucked. What advantage do they have going forward over Texas, aggy, LSU, Bama, Auburn, UGA, UF, Tenn, etc.? Some championships from the 1950s? They're going to be duking it out with Arkansas for some semblance of relevance.
  5. TXpride
    Currently and going forward. Demographics aren't on Nebraska's side.

    Goosby and Baker may end up being a great duo, but who will they even be competing against for those spots? Cojoe and Agbo (assuming they're still here)? I wouldn't be opposed to grabbing a tackle in the portal so there's least some competition with two unproven guys. We should be loaded on the interior.

    He should at least be suspended for a game, and I'm not just saying that because we play them. That was bullshit. And he tried denying it after the game like a little bitch. No accountability in that program and it starts at the top.

    Home teams having a massive advantage in these cross country B1G matchups appears to be a trend.
  9. TXpride
    Swap LSU with Arkansas for old times sake and I would agree.
  10. TXpride
    Being aligned with them only became a problem when NU, CU, Mizzou, and aggy left and were replaced by Cincinnati, UCF, BYU, etc. The original B12 was great. But we wouldn't be stuck playing only those teams if they were to be included in the hypothetical "super league."
  11. TXpride
    I'm fine with getting rid of those games. I'm talking about non blue blood (for lack of a better term) P4 teams.
  12. TXpride
    Texas would still play Arkansas (and OU/aggy) every year. Should the rest of the schedule be made up of Bama, UGA, USC, and Ohio State? You think those matchups will have the same appeal when it's two 6-4 teams? And how is that a competitive advantage wrt the playoff? If the 70+ team "super league" happens, everybody has to play everybody, or it's not an actual league. I won't pretend to be an expert on revenue, but I wouldn't expect it to be equal across the board. If all that matters is high profile games and advertiser revenue, we might as well form a ~20 team "blue blood league" and call it a day.

    How I could see it playing out: The B12/ACC (plus Oregon St/WSU and maybe Boise) get divided between the SEC/B1G to create 2 ~36 team divisions (South and North/West). Each team has 3 cross-divisional (OOC) games, 6 divisional, and 3 permanent rivals. The OOC/divisional schedules would rotate to maintain competitive balance and allow every team to eventually play each other. The top 8 from each division (chosen either by committee or some series of tiebreakers) goes to the playoff, culminating in the SEC v B1G "Super Bowl."

    Which is also a stupid idea. Blue bloods are blue bloods because of how they stack up against "everyone else." Take "everyone else" out of the equation and there are no blue bloods, and pretty soon all those matchups become boring and meaningless. (and before anyone gets upset, I'm using the term "blue blood" to refer to historically winning programs)
  15. TXpride
    Nebraska has to go hundreds (if not thousands) of miles for recruits. Alabama could (and has) have a down period, but unlike NU they'll always have access to talent.
  16. TXpride
    Sounds like Kendall "Hulk" Jones. Peaked as a 16 year-old.
  17. TXpride
    Only applies to the spring portal window.
  18. TXpride
    Looks like it. But I won't talk too much shit until Sark beats him.
  19. TXpride
    Bama wasn't as dominant the last couple years compared to their peak (although they still could've easily won the whole thing last season). That said, they still have the highest talent composite in the country. And blowing a 28 point lead at home/losing to Vandy in consecutive weeks isn't just something "Saban would never do." It's something any great coach wouldn't do. DeBoer gets somewhat of a pass since it's year 1 and he's still building "his" program. Maybe he just needs some minor tweaks. Maybe he's just a lucky fraud like Lincoln. Either way, I think it's safe to say he won't be a continuation of the Saban era, and every non-Bama CFB fan should be happy about that.
  20. TXpride
    He said Mack is a nice guy outside of football, but will throw anyone under the bus to save his own ass.
  21. TXpride
    We joke.. but that will be the narrative. Especially if we keep winning as Bama comes back to earth.
  22. TXpride
  23. TXpride
    Vandy is clearly a solid team, but Saban never had a loss like this once he got going. The aggy/Ole Miss teams that beat him at least had some elite talent. This feels the end of an era. Not saying Bama will suck from now on, but they aren't going to dominate CFB like they once did. You don't replace Saban.
  24. TXpride
    Yes, you are. My post: "Whether Liberty wins out or not, a G5 team will get the 12 spot."
  25. TXpride
    I don't think they wouldn't.. Why would they agree to no CC games? The Big 12 brought back its CC game to avoid another 2014 TCU situation. Just because they don't result in automatic bids doesn't mean they can't boost a conference's profile (and make money).
