  1. I just don’t completely agree with your reading of that evidence (or your take on the Kansas game in particular). I do agree about his talent. I’m not writing him off.
  2. I did not mean to include ISU in that. You’re correct. His poor stretch started after that game, not OU. He was not terrible against KSU, but I wouldn’t call that a good performance either.
  3. Hence “solid.” Theres no room for nuance in this unfortunately (welcome to the internet!). He either is already a bust or you have to defend him tooth and nail as just having routine freshman struggles.
  4. I’d argue that the stretch between OU and yesterday was consistently bad-the KSU and KU games just look better by comparison to the other 2, but his completion percentage and ypa were both very poor. A far cry from how he looked early in the year. And that probably colors how his game yesterday was seen, which other than a couple of big mistakes, was actually solid.
  5. I didn’t say they knew anything. That’s kind of the point. And it wasn’t just there, it was on shaggy. Which, again, consider the source. But still-it was absolutely a thing.
  6. Yeah, I’m not talking about the meme. I’m taking about actual discussion. I remember being at games that years and hearing people yell to put Chiles in.
  7. There was a vocal contingent who wanted to replace him with true freshman John Chiles.
  8. Did he? His completion percentage, ypa, and ypg are higher. But he threw more picks, the same number of TDs (in more games) and has a lower QBR. They were both pretty mediocre.
  9. Im not suggesting Card should start, but you’re conflating last season with this season. Ewers has absolutely been worse over the second half of the season than what Card showed in his 3 starts. Just look at the numbers.
  10. As bad as Ewers has been, Gilbert threw 3 times as many interceptions:l. I envy your ability to block that out.
  11. He’s personally responsible for 8 of Baylor’s points. I wish he were as passionate about his own godawful play as his teammates mistakes.
  12. McCutchen would be a HUGE downgrade in CF from McCormick at this point in his career.
  13. I always thought the solid orange caps they wore at home for Saturdays and weekday day games (up through maybe 2015?) were a great look. It picks up the orange piping in the home uniform, and by the same token, the solid blue cap always made more sense for the road uniform with its blue piping. I'd like to see them bring back that orange to wear at home at least some of the time and with the Sunday alternate.
  14. They basically don't wear any two-tone caps anymore. They haven't worn the alternate caps in a long time, and they pretty much wear solid blue on the road now too. I wish they would bring back orange caps though.
  15. $1.81 according to the Farm Bureau’s annual survey. It’s a pretty steep increase over last year. I think Aldi is running a special where they’re selling Thanksgiving staples at 2019 prices.
  16. That potential turkey shortage was reported everywhere. It’s not a Fox News conspiracy. I think I first saw it on The Today Show or something.
  17. Those are the old hats. They haven’t worn those for a few years now.
  18. If you want to roll with Diaz then just do it. Signing Yuli is pointless.
  19. I recall NR being pretty consistently anti-Trump.
  20. I imagine the biggest factor working against Bell is his defense. Rizzo is not the great defender he once was, and Abreu is…okish, I guess?…but for everyone who says 1B is easy to learn, anybody can do it-check out Bell’s numbers in metrics like DRS and OAA compared to those guys. He’s an actual liability there.
  21. The shift ban is going to benefit Rizzo more than many players. His BABIP this year was only .216 (it's .278 for his career).
  22. All the more reason not to participate in it since it’s not a position of need.
  23. Sophomore. But VY is a great example on another way-remember when he was pulled for Mock, who pulled off a win against Tech? That’s exactly what’s being proposed. I don’t think anyone is arguing for Card to be QB1. I certainly wouldn’t. The whole “he’s not the answer, he lost his job, he sucks” etc. is a straw man (really, not just because it’s the only logical fallacy the internet knows). But if Ewers is playing poorly-and he’s played as poorly as any QB we’ve had in the last decade in 2/3 most recent games-in a winnable game when this team has tangible goals still to achieve, why shouldn’t a guy who quite clearly was not THAT bad get a shot for a series of two to see what happens? Then by all means go back to Ewers next game and let him keep learning. If the only reason not to is nonsense about damaging Ewers’ confidence or potentially creating a QB controversy, then he’s too fragile to make it anyway.
  24. I know you didn’t specify what office, but just based on bringing up Fetterman and Beto, whether you’re talking a state office like Governor or a US Senator, Gen Z is still half a decade away from eligibility for those.
  25. Hey, the Big 12 title game is still a real possibility. Everybody but TCU has a least 3 conference losses. There’s still time for you to get your hopes dashed again.
