I mean, sure, there’s always a reason why it’s ok when our side does it and why the other guys are classless douches when they do it.

Worthy is faster than Bond. I don’t know that he’s better in any meaningful way. Mitchell was a badass. Would I trade him for Wingo right now? No. Cook now is better than Cook then. Golden vs. Whittington, as receivers? Hmmm. Based on what I’ve seen and what Sarkisian has said, the blocking needs to step up. That said, I wouldn’t swap this year’s group for last year’s.

Maybe, maybe at the margin — Bond probably isn’t going to put up a 40 time like Worthy’s — but he’s more than fast enough to do to defenses what Worthy did. Imo.

Where does throwing to Cook up 42-7 in the 4th fall on the class scale? To be clear, I’m not opposed and I understand why, but not everyone sees it that way. There are plenty of people who saw Sarkisian’s continuing to press into the 4th quarter the same way you see what Tennessee did.

He did pretty well against Alabama’s defense in 2023. I think there’s a pretty strong argument to be made that the WR position is upgraded in depth and experience compared to last year. Bond, Wingo, Cook, Golden, Moore, and Bolden doesn’t have a Worthy at the top, maybe, but they come at teams in waves.

He also said “after three games” which is a bit different.

I think Sarkisian is more than able to handle it. I don’t think, “Oh no, their backup might be good enough to take the Heisman favorite’s job,” even if a bad take, creates quite the look they’re hoping for.

If nothing else, the “they’ll take a step back without Worthy, Mitchell, and Sanders” talk has quieted down.

I could have been reading incorrect information, though I don’t think kickers and punters being able to do such things based on predetermined formations is that unusual. Either way, it’s not the kicking team’s responsibility to conform to expectations.

It’s not his job to stop his own team but, as I understand it, this was a call made by the kicker based on formation. Tennessee offered shortened quarters for the second half and Kent State declined. Tip of the hat to Kent State for that.

They just need to win their conference. If they do, they’re in the playoffs. If they don’t, playing OU probably isn’t going to help them.

Imo.

Why should they play OU? “Choices have consequences” works both ways.

If http referer is still a thing, and I feel like it is, it’s a certainty that he reads it.

A glitch in the matrix, maybe.

Well, turnovers aside, you were watching the two best teams in the country. No one will mistake the Aggies and Gators for that.

To be fair, he said “after three games.” But, yes, fun.

Forward progress stopped, my ass. And the beauty part is that that bullshit call wouldn’t have been reviewable.

His take on the “guy in the stands” when he had the headset off watching his son play was pure gold.

As opposed to the mail-it-in bullshit they’ve been throwing out there for Ewers.

It’s schtick, and not even clever schtick, but I could see this guy having Texas #4 in the SEC while Sarkisian is hoisting the national championship trophy.

Damn, man, I know it is true but this is still some bullshit. She took part of me with her when she died and it’s not coming back. She left part of her here, too, which is going to be the only thing that might eventually get me past this. It’s dark AF but there may have been some times when “suicide doesn’t stop the pain, it only transfers it” might have kept it from getting even darker. I went to her nephew’s birthday party over the weekend. Her brother introduces me as his brother-in-law even though I couldn’t marry her because of the circumstances. Her nephew made a speech thanking everyone and mentioned that this is his first birthday ever without his tía and the whole damned room looks at me. Anyway, after a couple of beers my BIL tells me, “I just want to tell you something that stays between us. [Wife’s name] and I love each other a lot, but we don’t have what y’all had. I had never seen her as happy as she was with you. She didn’t even have to say anything. The vibe she had told me she was exactly where she wanted to be in life. If I had three wishes, they’d be that my sister was healthy, that y’all met when she was younger and could get married and have kids, and that [name] and I had what y’all had.” Fuuuuuuuck. How can something make me feel so shitty and so lucky at the same time? Anyway, her birthday is next month. I’m still struggling like a MF with this, but I’m trying to get out and do more. I’m even considering looking for an OU ticket. It would be my first time around a lot of people who aren’t family and watching those crimson fucks leave early would be a good step toward normality.

Get the hell off my lawn. And you call that music? I’ve already had my nap. Though, in my defense, I’ve also walked 12 miles and lifted for an hour and a half. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go watch some Gunsmoke reruns.

He wasn’t remotely blown up. He was pushed on the shoulder. If they want to call it a crack back block, sigh, fine, maybe.

You’re on a freaking message board, not Reddit or Discord or whatever the hell other place an old person would think younger people used to talk about college football. This is like the Sports Illustrated of CFB talk at this point.
