  1. call up the college station cup makers
  2. I think the Cheezit Bowl is still in play if KSU beats TCU next week
  3. I went through this thought experiment a few months back when we lost to Tech. To me, the minimum requirement for whoever we hire next should be that they have won a conference championship (or co-championship) at the P5 level in the last decade or so. This shows that they are capable of taking a program to some modicum of success, while playing against solid competition week-in and week-out. Additionally, both of the G5 coaching hires we've made in the last decade have either been mediocre or terrible, so we should avoid hiring directly from that level if possible. I selected 2010 as the cutoff point for this list, as it was the start of the dark ages that UT Football currently finds itself in. This narrows down the list of potential hires to a little under 30 names: From this list, we can remove anyone is currently experiencing success at a powerhouse program, has been part of a major scandal, or is seemingly retired from coaching. These coaches would likely not be interested in coaching at UT, or inversely UT would not be interested in hiring them. That gives us the following names: From these 13 names, I think it's also safe to remove anyone who has not experienced some amount of success recently. Again this is subjective, but for my definition of success I'm going to say the coach needs to have won at least 10 games in a season in any of the past 5 complete seasons (2017-2021). Coaches that meet this requirement are as follows: There's still quite a few stinkers on this list (namely Malzahn, Helton, and Franklin), but it should at least give us a starting point on who we theoretically should be going after if Sark gets canned. To me the best names are the coaches from the Big 12; Gundy, Patterson, and Aranda. If Sonny Dykes wins the Big 12 this year or Chip Kelly wins 10 games at UCLA this season they should also be under consideration. TLDR: The next football coach UT hires should have won a conference championship since 2010, and won at least 10 games in a season since 2017. Based on that criteria, the best options seem to be Mike Gundy, Gary Patterson, and Dave Aranda.
  4. that's an assert your dominance call by BK over Saban. There's a new sheriff in the SEC West
  5. "best play caller in college football"

  12. Wow can’t believe the 2022 Recruiting National Champions are going to lose a game on the grid iron Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. not quite nick rose but close enough
  14. Thought the in-game experience for game 1 was pretty solid. I liked how instead of playing some lame hype video before the team takes the field, they instead showed the players walking though the the tunnel. Loved the new band placement as well, but that just might be because they were closer to our usual seats. Biggest complaints are still the band’s entrance (which is the same lame entrance as last year), and the fact that the tempo on the Eyes is way too slow. It’s damn near paced like a funeral dirge, and often results in the crowd singing the song faster than the band is playing it. It was so bad last last night that the students were at least 2 seconds ahead of the rest of the stadium. We had this issue last year, so I think it’s just something with the new director’s style.

  15. this is literally a Georgia home game
  16. If you want to get technical, I think USC is the only team in the P5 that has never worn a true alternate, and they wear the same home and away set for every game. PSU, Alabama, and Texas have all worn some form of alternate uniform at one point or another (although the differences between the alts and the regular uniforms for theses schools are usually really minor).
  17. Might be interesting to see a modern take on the two uniforms on the left.
  18. He confirmed that it was team issue only, although someone in the replies stated that it was a merch drop from the early 2010s. If I had to guess it's probably something that was released to the public within the last 20 years, but currently isn't in production.
  19. Feel like we're going to end up with 3 big 20ish school conferences: B10, SEC, and the Big Pac (the 2023 B12 plus the remainder of the Pac12). Big Pac will be a second tier league, but it will be solid and I bet they'll end up getting a playoff spot once expansion happens. Notre Dame is really the key factor. Like others have said, if Notre Dame goes to the B10 then Stanford probably tags along with them. If they don't end up in the ACC, then I honestly don't see that league surviving as a major football conference, and anticipate that the SEC will raid it's main football schools to keep pace with the B10. Clemson, FSU, and Miami would be the most likely schools in this scenario, with UNC being a possibility (depending how loyal they are to the other Carolina schools). The remaining ACC schools will form a solid basketball league. Oregon and Washington are the main wild cards. B10 is the most likely landing spot, but I could also see that league passing and thus relegating these schools to the Big Pac. It all depends on what Notre Dame does and how quickly and willing these conferences are to expand (as well as money of course).
  20. Winning basketball games is hard when you don't get to shoot 46 free throws
  21. Looks like Brock will be returning
  22. We're always good for at least 1 scoring drought like this per game. Hopefully we can get it out of the way early and finish strong in the last 10 minutes.
