“Peak Joe Tessitore” is not ever, ever a positive thing.

Boomer Sooner sucks. The FSU chant does not. Maybe it’s watching all the Bowden-era night games when they were on ESPN, etc. so much, but I’m there for it. It would suck while playing them, but that’s part of the point and applies to any opposing band.

Jayna doesn’t seem very bright. What the actual fuck do prior mediocre seasons, mostly with previous coaches, have to do with this season and looking at returning players and portal takes? Tough break for Texas being the only one not returning everyone from last year’s offense, unlike, say, Georgia and Oregon.

What is this bullshit?

It was wildly illegal by 2005 standards. I was diagonally opposite from that hit, so I didn’t hear it, but that was more of a steamroller a game in all phases than any I’ve been to. Texas could’ve scored 100 in a conference championship game if Brown had wanted to. Crazy town.

Are you implying he wanted to come back or that someone should’ve had a crystal ball regarding RB injuries? Or something else?

As opposed to?

I don’t see it, even from them, but maybe we’ll find out.

It’s hard for me to prefer any success for ND. It’s usually nicer to see the A&M rollercoaster plunge from the greatest height possible. That said, a couple of recruiting losses this week followed by getting worked on national television, at home, in Elko’s debut, such that the rollercoaster bursts into flames in the station while still taking on passengers wouldn’t be the worst way to start SEC season 1.0.

I like your predictions, though.

This is the message board equivalent of benzos. Much appreciated.

It always says “tied teams.” It doesn’t sound like the tiebreakers eliminate one team at a time. That is, it appears to me that if any step doesn’t produce the required number of winners (1 if the tie is for second, two if the tie is for first) you go to the next step with all tied teams.

This wording seems different than what other conferences have used. “If the regular season standings determine a clear Conference champion…” So, there’s a claim to a regular championship in addition to the winner of the championship game? Kind of a regular season vs. tournament champion?

Perhaps it’s my bias, but I struggle to take someone seriously who believes A&M is a long term investment. I’ll acknowledge the FedEx years, but…

And A&M having Texas and vice versa.

The subjunctive will never be my friend, but Spanish makes this so much easier. “He vencido todos los juegos.” And though it will never be my friend, “Puede que sea mi culpa, pero no me importa” was one of my favorite things to say to my Latina GF because it always made her laugh and defused many a situation that could have escalated. Based on an overview of the overnight progression of the thread, I feel like I should say Julio’s chips are about as good as mass market chips get. Their salsa is also good, but HEB’s in-house salsa is even better. Probably the best store-bought I’ve had. Bonedaddy’s was mediocre, in my experience. Hooter’s has gone downhill but there was a time with their waitstaff and Bentley wings were pretty good. I never really had a thing for Latinas, but I do now, even if it makes my GF rise from the grave to “stab a bitch.”

It seems to me like it makes more sense to buy portal guys to plug holes while using the rest to build a core that carries the culture and “chemistry” of 11 guys needing to be on the same page, even if they don’t play immediately. I’m sure it’s a continuum and, clearly, depends on resources, but ongoing wholesale changes seems like a pretty unreliable way to go. Maybe you catch lightning in a bottle, maybe you have 11 really good players doing 11 different things and get worked.

I can’t vouch for the accuracy, but supposedly so.

I’ll spare y’all the usual windy-ass post this time. Seven years ago today, I met the woman who helped me understand what “love” and “happiness” really mean. What they really feel like. She was so far beyond anything I could’ve hoped for that it almost doesn’t seem real. I couldn’t have asked for a better woman because she was more than I would’ve been able to put on a list. That she felt the same way about me is way past miraculous. As I’ve said before, “Tender Years” was our song. It would’ve been our first dance at our wedding. And the sax intro was her text tone. Today, I’m going to listen to it a lot. I’m going to go back to where we had our first date. I’m going to sit at the same table. I’m going to try to focus on good memories and not her absence. We’ll see how it goes. Just as she taught me what “love” and “happiness” really mean, unfortunately she also taught me what “sadness” really means. So, this won’t be easy. On the upside, I’m one day closer to not being without her.

Looks like 0.532 in the SWC. It’s almost like there’s a pattern.

Simple, but not always easy. It’s just more of the “Sarkisian should call more touchdown plays and stop calling the fumble plays” that I thought last season might eliminate, but there are always stragglers.

Or, perhaps, the simplistic backwards looking take of “it didn’t work, therefore it was a bad call/lack of preparation/whatever” is just lazy. DKR fucked away plenty of leads, lost games due to repeated fumbles, and won a game with repeated fumbles because a wishbone QB bailed him out with a 40 yard pass into double coverage. As for not getting his defense ready, a shit pass by Montgomery kept Arkansas from having a shot to win 17-15 in 1969. Good thing DKR practiced having the other QB fuck up. Revisionist, your history is.

Sarkisian wasn’t the one who failed to execute. Therefore, his misunderestimating them wasn’t the problem. Failure to execute was the problem.

He may have done that with Arkansas, but that Texas team just wasn’t any good and wasn’t going to win, anyway. As for OU, execute the plays that are there and Texas wins.

Woooooosh.
