  1. I could talk myself into Jokic being top 5 all time. He’s got an answer for everything.
  2. Wemby is ridiculous. 15 and 11 in 11 minutes so far.
  3. The play clock had just started when ND ran their guys off. It hits about 19 or so when they are all off the field. Even with Georgia sprinting out there, the official didn't move off the ball until there was 5 seconds on the clock. Just monumentally stupid. Even a slight delay from Georgia screws that whole thing up.
  4. The dumbest part of that whole punt substitution deal was how fast Georgia got their subs in. They were under no obligation to rush out there like that, were they? They should have taken their sweet ass time getting back on the field and forced ND to take a time out or delay of game. The FFR that coaches Illinois has made a practice out of doing that against hurry up teams that sub late.
  5. Forget about the blue blood talk for a minute... this final four is the Haters Ball. Who is more despised in college football than Ohio State, Notre Dame, Penn State and Texas? Maybe Bama but it's not the same since Saban bolted.
  6. You root for A&M too because they haven't won anything since before any current player was ever born? Fuck Notre Dame, forever. You root for A&M too because they haven't won anything since before any current player was ever born? Fuck Notre Dame, forever.
  7. Just incredibly stupid. 30 seconds backed up in your own territory with an inexperienced QB. Run it into the line and go into halftime.
  8. I don’t think anybody should be called a pussy for being impressed with what Ohio Stste has done the last two weeks. They had the toughest draw in the field and completely annihilated both teams right out of the gate. Shock and awe both first quarters, and the games were over. i think Will Howard is a spare but there’s no denying the talent at WR and that defense is elite at all three levels. Our two games against the only comparably talented team we played in Georgia don’t necessarily inspire confidence and this Texas team has shown a distinct ability to play with its food and just be generally inconsistent on offense, not to mention our place kicking woes. That said, I like the intangibles in this game for Texas. Ohio State will hear how invincible they are for the next 9 days. Texas is a fantastic underdog. Texas can hang its hat on clutching up when they needed it most, which they have essentially done all season to varying degrees. Texas has played dominating football all year but the scoreboard hasn’t always reflected the dominance. Horns are going to have to play their best game of the season to win, and they are a td dog for a reason. But it’s not too difficult to see a path forward to win. Gonna need great db play. Ewers is going to have to be special. If we could get some running game going, that would be helpful. And we can’t afford to lose the turnover battle.
  9. I thought once you got up by two tds you were supposed to let the other team back in the game. Not sure what I’m watching here. Very confused.
  10. Why is Penn State even bothering to pass? I liked what that guy did at Kansas but this is malpractice.
  11. To be fair, a decent portion of ASU’s roster is where they are because they couldn’t get playing time at Texas.
  12. While the megaconferences present a problem with the playoff, it's a tradeoff I will gladly make for better regular season games. We played mostly the bottom half of the SEC, but our schedule this year was still the most compelling it has been since before Nebraska and A&M bailed on the Big 12. We also got more regular season games between helmet schools across the country.
  13. Barnes wide open in the corner so Sochan can air mail that. Terrible shot selection down the stretch all the way around but that last one was especially brutal.
  14. Need a big fourth quarter from Wemby. This feels like one where Ant tries to take over down the stretch.
  15. You get beat on the offensive glass 17-8 and lose the turnover battle 15-5, you are almost certainly going to lose. I’m not even mad. That’s a damn good team they lost to on the biggest stage in basketball. And if Bridges is shooting like that, you just tip your cap. Vic isn’t even old enough to drink and he’s a top 5 player in the league. All of this only gets better. They have to take their lumps and learn how to close out these games. Once they do, look the fuck out. This is just the next step in the progression.
  16. Look, if it makes you guys feel better to buy in to this stadium configuration bullshit, then be my guest. Whatever helps you sleep at night. But open your eyes! It’s a big fat fucking lie. Maybe, just maybe, we can look beyond the surface to see what’s really going on here: Chick-fil-A is the sponsor and they’re running the Peach Bowl with their hard core anti-beef agenda. The Deep Poultry State will go to any length to protect its own interests. Starting, obviously, with banning Bevo from the sidelines. You know it and I know it: Big Chicken hates everything that Bevo represents. Namely, hamburgers. And steaks. And brisket. And a bunch of other delicious shit that isn’t shitty ass chicken. They live in fear of what having Bevo on the sideline would do to them. Maybe we could appease them if we hung one of those denigrating “Eat Mor Chikin” signs around his neck? Maybe then they would be more inclined to put on their big girl panties and take out a seat or two so we can fit our beloved cow into the stadium? You think that ad campaign was an accident? Fuck. All. That. If they outlaw mascots only outlaws will have mascots.
  17. Every time I see "Mitch" in a post, I think you guys are talking to/about me. It's taking some getting used to. Fun game last night. Definitely a tough loss with mostly self-inflicted wounds at crunch time, but you have to give credit to Maxey and Yabusele. Those two were great for Philly. I'm glad we only see Maxey twice a year. He's murdered us every time we've played them. Lots of missed wide open threes all game, but that 18-2 3rd quarter run was a killer. Vic is getting much better at punishing those small ball lineups setting up shop at the nail, but he's still got a ways to go. Castle was so good last night. He deserved 4th quarter minutes. The pairing with he and Sochan is definitely problematic from a spacing perspective, but it would be nice to have their two best defenders on the court together. How they fare from here to the end of January is going to tell us about the rest of the season, if they are a legitimate play-in/playoff team. Lots of road games and lots of games against good teams. Brooklyn is the only outright tanker of the bunch.

  18. Philly tonight and Embiid is playing. Last time he dropped 70 on Vic, although a ton of that was on Collins after Wemby got into foul trouble. This should be a good one to see how he takes on the challenge. PG and Maxey going tonight too for one of the few times this season. GSG
  19. Apologies if this has been brought up, but Texas already beat the ACC champ, plays the Big 12 champ next, could get the Big 10 champ in the third round, and then have a re-rematch with the SEC champ. That would be a pretty cool run on the way to a national championship.
  20. I don’t even know what to say about this. Wemby is the greatest three and d player in NBA history?
  21. They didn’t win game 15 last year until March 17. They’ve had a home heavy schedule so far so maybe it’s a little inflated but they haven’t played many east teams either. But this is more fun than those ridiculous losing streaks they had last year. Re: Fox. I absolutely love him. He would be amazing next to Vic. They have the assets to make it happen, but I’d be more concerned with his contract and the fact that he’s repped by Klutch. Rich Paul isn’t going to give out a discount so he can play for a winner. And if the spurs deplete the war chest for him, it completely guts their long term plans for sustainability. So unless Sacramento wants to give him away for peanuts and/or he wants to sign for less than market value, I don’t see it happening.
  22. I have to think they’re rather happy with the season, even with the ass kicking last night. They beat Michigan. They made the playoff. They have been completely irrelevant for a million years. Just giving their fans a glimpse into success of college football at the highest level has to be considered a massive win for the school. They had zero business in that game but considering where they came from? Yeah, they should walk away feeling happy. But I hope like hell they serve as a cautionary tale for the committee going forward.
