  1. Loving it so far. I’ve watched all the seasons and 1 and 2 were great. 3 and 4 had their moments but overall pretty meh. The movie of course is an all-time classic. So many references to the Coen brothers in these first couple eps.
  2. I’ve just come to terms with the fact that we’re having this endless round and round discussion means it will all probably be moot/moo after the games are played.. The undefeateds will all win, leaving us on the outside looking in with no real leg to stand on. Thats just our fucking luck in these things.
  3. Haven’t received them yet, but I did see the charge on my CC today so I at least know how much I was charged ($180 each). Kind of important since the price range on the order form was $99-$350. The fulfillment email from last week said we should get them by Thursday.
  4. I’ve been to the game at both stadiums on both days (T-day or T+1), but I prefer T+1. For me, that’s what I grew up with from ‘94 to ‘07 before it was moved to T-day ‘08-‘11. That said, I don’t really mind the thanksgiving day game as much when it’s every other year as compared to the home game rotation we had with Tech, TCU, etc for a few years.
  5. The mouth breathers over at TD are already complaining that we have too easy an SEC schedule next year. How is that possible when every SEC game is supposed to be difficult. https://www.secrant.com/rant/sec-football/texas-schedule-next-year--one-of-the-easiest-in-the-league/111085076/
  6. I wish I could rep this post more. This is why our SOS is so strong relative to many of the others, when it's broken down over the full 12 games. However when it comes to humans ranking teams, the throwaway wins are dismissed for the most part and primarily the top wins and of course the losses are compared, for better or for worse. So our non-conference wins against 8-4 Wyoming and bowl eligible Rice aren't really looked at in comparison to FCS walkovers Chattanooga and Portland State, Hawaii, Middle Tennessee State, etc. Another reason why computer models for rankings should get more consideration alongside the human element.
  7. My thoughts exactly when I heard that this morning.
  8. There's no way to really know the answer for why, but I disagree that the comparison of losses is what put Oregon ahead of us initially. Much more likely IMO it's because before the first CFP rankings, we were one week removed from barely beating UH, while Oregon had just crushed a 13th ranked at the time Utah.
  9. It's also interesting, at least to me, that of the seven (or eight) remaining contenders, we are the only team who has not previously appeared in the CFP.
  10. Yes, it’s basically due to rankings inertia where Oregon won in dominant fashion for a few weeks while we escaped with wins and that essentially set the pecking order going forward. Oregon didn’t give them any reason to question their initial relative ranking of them and Texas so it hasn’t changed. With a game against Washington it’s hard to see that changing after this week. Not impossible, but unlikely IMO.
  11. For what it’s worth, Texas is closer in points to Oregon at 5, than to Bama at 8.

  12. Yes they have guidelines, but it’s not like they return a grading rubric after they are done. They send out their top 25 and give generic and contradictory answers to Rece Davis each week about why they ranked certain teams where. In the end they will rank the teams how they see fit, including the posted guidelines, but it’s really just a black box of whatever reasoning they want to justify how they view the teams.
  13. Now feels like without a Louisville win next week we are on the outside looking in. How fucking annoying to beat Bama, (maybe) get to 12-1, and not make it.
  14. Fuck you Florida you worthless fucks
  15. Of course the QB slide leads to targeting
  16. Even with a stop I have no confidence in UF driving for even a FG
  17. Yeah I just don’t feel like this is gonna happen. And if not, our hopes may be down to counting on Louisville.
  18. Not the start to the half I wanted to see
  19. That WR wearing his Apple Watch?
  20. That’s 2 points
  21. Herbie seems a bit too happy for Bama
  22. That flag against FSU was terrible. That’s a shame
  23. Damn thought he was gonna cough it up
