SMU getting in over Bama would be something. I just can’t even imagine it.

The pick six was a decision that you don’t expect a qb with as much experience as he has to make. And he had no business running with the ball like that and not tucking it, slide or no slide. But holy shit did he throw some bbs out there too. The shot to Golden, a couple to Helm, another one to Wingo. But beyond that, he just never seems phased. Walking into that hornet’s nest of screaming morons in a game that big and he took care of business. He doesn’t let the negative plays carry over. He’s a good qb and we’re fortunate to have him.

It’s gotta be extra rough to lose this game for them after hypothetically beating us every year since 2011.

If Michigan lets their qb do anything other than handoff they should flog the coach immediately after the game.

I can’t imagine what they had to do to make all those aggies wear orange Home Depot gear. The A&M athletic department wouldn’t even let whataburger throw out promotional orange basketballs to the crowd at their basketball games. And basketballs are, you know, orange.

Saw it this afternoon and…

Tech bleeding them out.

Don’t get going for two there. Am I missing something?

Georgia is going to come back and run these guys out of the gym in the second half.

Anthony Edwards: "The fans fuckin’ booing us. That shit is crazy, man. We’re getting booed in our home arena. That’s so fuckin’ disrespectful, it’s crazy."

Did Brooklyn not get the memo that they traded a whole bunch of shit this offseason just so they could tank? They beat the Suns with all of their guys playing in Phoenix tonight after beating Golden State on the road the other night, and are now only two games under .500.

I guess you can't play Utah every night but beyond that, they didn't play with much juice. A little disappointing considering that Lakers played last night, too.

Disastrous end to this third quarter.

First thought upon seeing thread title: he's entering the portal.

Because KAT is such a great outside shooter, it sort of made sense on a basketball court. It's not like he's your prototypical back to the basket, throw it into the post, get me a bucket traditional big. But let's look at the tale of the tape for what they gave up, and what they got back altogether: IN: Gobert, Divencenzo, Julius Randle, and a heavily protected (the best it could ever be is #10) first round pick via the Pistons that may not ever convey. OUT: Towns, Walker Kessler, Pat Bev, Malik Beasley, Jared Vanderbilt, Keyonte George (via pick), 2025 unprotected first, 2026 swap, 2027 unprotected first, and 2029 top 5 protected first. They managed to give up the best player by far AND a giant chunk of their future. If that weren't bad enough, they also have a 32 year old Rudy Gobert (who seems to be declining so far this season) on the books for the next three years at ~$36.5 million per. Woof. They've done such a good job building their roster with unheralded guys like Reid, NAW, and McDaniels that it hasn't killed them yet. But holy shit if Anthony Edwards ever gets hurt or decides he doesn't want to live in Minnesota.

Mack Brown was the best of times. He was also the worst of times.

Gobert opted out and extended, so they got out of their cap hell for now. But they still should have never traded for him in the first place. Forget the assets they sent out, they essentially had to choose between him and Towns to avoid the second apron penalties.

This may sound ridiculous, but I hope they spent some time preparing for Weigman. The best game he had was against Missouri when they were expecting Reed to start, and Weigman came out and shredded them. The best Reed has looked is when he replaced Weigman against LSU, and they didn't look like they had prepped for the running QB at all.

Seeing Mitchell get meaningful snaps recently has been one of the bigger roster surprises of the season. Lord knows they need all the help they can get on that interior dline next year.

The Big XII is not terrible. I don't wish for its demise. I wish it would schedule more compelling nonconference games to make me want to watch it. I wish the rest of the conference had scheduled more compelling nonconference games when we were actually in the conference to raise its profile. Then maybe we wouldn't have had to throw our lot in with all these sister fuckers and mouthbreathers. But don't feed us that bullshit about scheduling. It's going to continue to bite the conference in the ass. Put on your big girl panties and schedule OU for fuck's sake.

At least one P4 non-conference game? More like, EXACTLY one P4 non-conference game, and then a bunch of glorified scrimmages. And outside of Oregon, who on that list will be even ranked in the top 25 next year? There aren't exactly a ton of top programs on that slate. I don't care how good of a year SMU is having, you don't get to point to them as strong scheduling when those matches were made when they were in the AAC. You should be playing Oklahoma this Saturday for the love of God.

I agree 100% but outside of Colorado, they will never do it. Most of them still have the Bill Snyder/Baylor scheduling philosophy of get to 6 wins no matter what, get that bowl paycheck, and don't get the coach fired. They aren't serious about winning or building their brands. They never were. That's one of the reasons we had to get the fuck out of that conference -- they added no value in the non-conference schedule, took zero risks to build themselves up, and were satisfied with a fatwa win over Texas or OU every now and then and cashing that check.

UNC did that a lot more smoothly than Texas did. He didn't even have the chance to go kill himself down in Florida.

Anybody have Harrison Barnes winning western conference player of the week on their bingo card? I can't believe Sacto gave us a first round swap to take him off their hands.

In a 12 team playoff, we would have been in almost every one of those years.... and then probably would have been pantsed by a team with a real coach.
