  1. I'm really looking forward to how pants-on-head retarded this thread is going to get around 3:00. Should be quite the show.
  2. Yes. True. The vast majority of us are both sane and positive, with only a few outliers.
  3. Look, @Hagbard Celine's heart is in the right place but he is also a madman. Don't read too much into it.
  4. The entire Buckeye mediasphere seems to be sleeping on him. I love it. Arch and Wingo are gonna take the top off that defense if they play us too tight.
  5. This has to be sarcasm. That had to have been sarcasm.
  6. There were people who were critical of Quinn who had reasonable takes. This isn't any kind of "own" on them because, as you point out, QB3 for the Dolphins is not exactly the peak of the NFL mountain. But there were people who were unreasonable in their hate for the guy. They claimed he wasn't an NFL QB. Now he is. So those people were wrong and can go fuck themselves.
  7. Here is what Bill Connelly / SP+ predicted before the Bama game in 2023: Current line: Bama -7 | SP+ projection: Bama by 12.8 | FPI projection: Bama by 13.8 Source: https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/38346795/college-football-week-2-texas-bama-texas-miami-bets-picks-more I like Connelly and I like SP+, but his model struggles early in the season. Same as FPI, same as literally everyone. There is not enough data to go on, especially for a week 1 game. I'm picking Texas and I think this game will look more like Michigan in 2024 and less like Bama in 2023. We have the QB advantage and we have the better defense. Those two factors alone decide 90% of college football games. Our secondary is going to make reading the field and making safe throw hard on the inexperienced (although clearly talented) Sayin, and he isn't going to have much time to do his job with our DL crashing down on him. OSU's best bet will be to lean on their run game, but that neutralizes their biggest asset in WR Jeremiah Smith. I don't know what to make of our OL at this point, which makes it hard to predict how well the offense will do as a whole. But I'm pretty sure we can run block even if our pass block is deficient due to injuries. We definitely have the better stable of RBs. We can lean on our run game if we need to, which is a cornerstone of Sark's offense anyway. Maybe I'm too much of a homer, but there it seems like everything lines up favorably for Texas. OSU is clearly an excellent team with a talented roster, but styles make fights and, at least at this point in the season, I think we are a terrible match up for what they want to do.
  8. This solution was far too reasonable and straightforward
  9. It’s unfortunate. He has a big arm and some swagger. Between Arch and Lacey he wasn’t going to start but I thought he could at least be a solid QB2.
  10. Said it looked like his ankle again, but he walked off on his own power.
  11. What an odd thing to get so upset about. Either Goosby will play or he won’t. We’ll find out in a week. Put down your Friday night tipple, take your blood pressure meds, and go to bed.
  12. Bell looking waaaaay better in the second half, now that his OL is actually giving him some time.
  13. Milton had looked good. Still has a cannon but has dialed it in a bit.
  14. You can also go to your profile, settings, and look for the ignored users page. You can add people to the list there.
  15. If you hover your mouse over their profile picture, a little screen will pop up with some options including "ignore"
  16. I don't think this asshole needs to be criticizing anyone's problems with alcohol: https://tide1009.com/pete-golding-arrested-for-dui/
  17. How is changing to 9 conference games catering to us?
  18. That's just classic Big 12 behavior. Snyder built KSU on that strategy and Gundy was an early adopter as well. Matt Campbell would have loved to schedule 3 cupcakes and spent all his time prepping for us and OU, but he was stuck with El Assico early every season.
  19. You have correctly identified the joke
  20. Purdue and Wake Forest are legitimately worse than several FCS schools. Northwestern and Maryland too. The bottom of the B1G is an absolute joke
  21. Ditto. DAC has some disgustingly racist songs on his banned albums and I remember kids playing those in high school. Never heard anything like that from Robert Earl Keen. Anything's possible, I guess, but it would be a shocking disappointment.
  22. I guess I was wondering more if anyone on here had gone / how it was. I meant to go but was need elsewhere. The only person associated with IT that I still listen to is Wadlington and I really enjoy his content. But I mostly listen to EGAT and read his prospectus, I don't watch the youtube channel. I used to like it when he had Ian Boyd on because Boyd would say some of the most bizarre, dumbass shit you had ever heard and Wadlington would be flummoxed. But even that is not enough to make me sit through a whole segment with Boyd. Randy isn't great, but he is miles better.
