  1. Apropos of nothing, but how do I put someone on ignore? It's been a long time since I've had to and I've forgotten.
  2. I've got two thoughts about what you've said - not really complete arguments, but I want to put them out there. 1. A coin flip has even odds (50/50) of coming up heads or tails, but if you flip a coin ten times the odds of it coming up heads every time is 1/1024. It's not as simply as looking at the odds for each individual coin flip - you have to look at the series. That's what football seasons usually feel like to me. It's not just the individual games, it's the entire season of them. 2. The argument that we should beat every team that we're more talented than flies in the face of our history as a program, and the proud CFB tradition of more talented teams losing to less talented teams. It happens every year, in every conference, and it happens a lot. I'm not sure how those thoughts fit into this conversation, something about math and history, but I would assume that is why Vegas had us at 9.5 wins instead of 11.
  3. I swear some of y'all would rather be right than happy. Vegas had us at 9.5 wins. Most of the guys on IT had us going 10-2 at best. These aren't cagey fans or battered longhorns. They are industry people who, by a huge margin, did not think we would win more than 10 games and were more likely to only win 9. We have overachieved and it's okay to be happy about that.
  4. Wow, yeah he gets plowed into hard. Now I feel bad for thinking it was a smokescreen to hide that he was pissed off. Plus - goddamn kid, how accident prone can you be?
  5. Trash people at a trash school in a trash conference
  6. You really put your nuts in the vice with this thread, but I think I speak for everyone (except maybe @6th Street) when I say I’m glad you were right .
  7. You ignorant slut. That's clearly a 2x4.
  8. Not much signal in all that noise Edit - Whoa, I saw "Penn" and thought "Penn State." That's actually an impressive offer list for a kid from an Ivey.
  9. Honestly, would we say no to Stewart? I get what y'all are saying about him being a bad culture fit, but he's a great receiver and we're losing a lot of production.
  10. The fuck is this nightmare. It gets worse the longer I look at it.
  11. Channeling good vibes and getting this thread back on track.
  12. I'm sorry, my sarcasm meter is entirely broken. Surely you're joking and I'm just missing it.
  13. *You're **Crop better FFS.
  14. I haven't really love the Big 12 since 2012, but I haven't really hated it either. I was bored and disappointed, but chalked that up to Texas being mediocre to awful rather than the conference. But the last couple of seasons pretty much everything about the Big 12 pisses me off and I couldn't put my finger on why it was making me angry now - it's been same shit different day, maybe dialed up a little more. But your post perfectly explains why I have zero patience for this bush league in 2023. We're almost out of Shawshank. Still crawling through the river of shit, but the end of the tunnel is right there if we can just stomach the smell a little longer.
  15. Counterpoint - they play us. Pretty rough draw based on that alone.
  16. “Well, actually, Matt, we've actually been encouraging Steve in his coaching.”
  17. I demand you provide support for this outlandish claim
