  1. Washington was incredibly smart on defense, defending against the Sark's misdirection schemes. Sark was equally smart in that instead of stubbornly trying to "stick to the plan", he just ran it down their throats. They'll have to start defending the run eventually and the playbook will open up. Sark just has to be smart.
  2. It's a "cover your man and don't come off him for anything" defense to prevent getting fooled by Sark's misdirection. Just pound the rock until they start coming up to stop it.
  3. Michigan is much more physical than Alabama and pushing them around like we did. I hope those same O/D-lines show up for us tonight.
  4. Had many a rough night in New Orleans and you, sir, are correct.
  5. Harper Murray is Nebraska's version of Madisen Skinner. She's having some freshman yips, but she's a baller.
  6. Just here to say Madisen Skinner is gorgeous. Genetic goldmine with that height and athletic ability.
  7. Assuming you're coming from Texas (I-10 from Houston or I-20/I-49 from DFW)...check traffic on the Atchafalaya Basin Bridge before you get to Lafayette. If there's an issue on the bridge, just shoot south on Hwy 90 and come into New Orleans that way. Watch your speed. They run traffic a ton, particularly the stretch between Morgan City and New Orleans. If you take the Basin Bridge to Baton Rouge, top of on fuel and take a piss before you leave Lafayette. If things go south, you could be sitting quite some time.
  8. What exactly is your point? Alabama is in and there was quite a bit of talk about how "if the committee is going with the '4 best teams', that's got to include Georgia." The SEC champ was never going to be left out of the playoff. Ever. I get that being right on an internet message board must be a big win for you, but try not to hurt yourself patting yourself on your virtual back. You're a rare combination of dork and douchebag.
  9. Says we only beat Alabama because Milroe was raw (and now he's all-world). "If Texas had to go to Tuscaloosa today, they'd get thrashed." Hell, that pisses me off and I'm just an alumnus/fan. If I actually played on the team, I'd want to skull drag every player that lined up in front of me tomorrow. They should mainline this shit into their veins between now and the CFP game(s).
  10. "It wasn’t taken well. Maybe I didn’t articulate it well. I’ll own that! BUT the things thrown in my direction from my own school’s fanbase (albeit the loud minority) has been truly wild." Translation: "I screwed up, but I'm still the victim here."
  11. Maybe they're in a declining price environment, so they manage inventory costs by purchasing fuel only when needed instead of stockpiling (keeping the tank full) like you would when prices are increasing? Maybe they're simply being smart with money. Who am I kidding?
  12. The best part was when she gave the "It's like Oklahoma and Oklahoma State" analogy. Everyone was like "Yes! Exactly!", and she immediately knew she fucked up. "I'm not gonna sit here and argue with you guys. You're wrong. You just are."
  13. Harvard is around $49b, we're at $42.6b, and Yale is slightly behind at $40b-$41b. We surpass Harvard's on occasion when the price of oil surges. A good chunk of our money comes from oil and gas development on land set aside by the State for us - which is hilarious given the political bent of many administrators, etc.
  14. If by "right there with Texas", she means Texas has nearly 2.5x the money, then sure. But yeah, A&M ain't broke. Somebody with Twitter should point this out to that goofy chick.
  15. Nobody said anything about candy. In fact, I love that we wear simple, clean uniforms and don't trot out a bunch of bullshit like Oregon and the like. I like the whites and I love the way our burnt orange pops on white. A stripe is just a touch more of it, that's all. Like the baseball uniforms - our home whites are the best uni in the game.
  16. Yep. Not to flash it up or anything, just to add a touch more of that beautiful burnt orange to the clean whites. But I am glad we don't have gimmicky uniforms like Oregon and some others. "We're here to play f'n football."
  17. I think we look better in whites than in the burnt orange jerseys. If we added a burnt orange stripe(s) to the pants, they'd look even better (no need with the orange jerseys though).
  18. If they were looking to avoid criticism, "We put in the 3 undefeated P5 conference champs and then the 1-loss P5 conference champ that beat the other 1-loss P5 conference champ by multiple scores, on the road, by running the ball for 7:00 straight and ending the game in victory formation on their opponent's field" would have done the trick. Alabama/SEC would have whined because "We're the SEC and we're Alabama", but nobody else would have batted an eye. Except ESPN...which is why they fucked FSU.

    2023 Heisman

    I was obviously being facetious; I think Daniels is, by far, the most deserving of the Heisman. I think the same kind of bullshit that kept Oregon ranked so high will keep Nix/Penix in the picture despite their numbers not being close to Daniels'. Same thing with the Biletnikoff. Malik Nabers (LSU) has numbers WAY beyond Odunze or Harrison Jr., but the talking heads keep acting like it's Harrison. It's not close either. Odunze is a distant 2nd and the gap between 2-3 is greater than between 1-2.
