  1. Vandy's QB, Pavia, is a gritty, undersized kid who just knows how to play football. Not the biggest, not the fastest, and doesn't have the best arm, but he tends to win games. Been keeping an eye on him since he was at NMSU. Texas would be well-advised to focus efforts on keeping him contained when the Horns play Vandy.
  2. Yeah, Tessitore annoys me.
  3. Did you know Colt McCoy's dad and Jordan Shipley's dad were roommates? sweartogod
  4. Talk to brown water -- he's the one with all the KC12. Maybe he'll put us both on his list. What's your point?
  5. Need someone to photoshop a Mizzou T-shirt onto Mr. Tufnel.
  6. Re: Arkie vs. Aggy: "This was almost a blowout." Give him some credit -- he's right. If Pig hadn't turned the ball over 3 times, Arkie would have blown A&M out.
  7. Yeah, about the cheapest I see KC12 in these parts is $60, so $65 isn't bad at all. Plus, it's good. If you don't like the KC12, give 'em as gifts when the holidays come around.
  8. You saw Pressly fuck someone while he was in his uniform? Kinky . . .
  9. This is the worst movie I've seen in a long, long time.
  10. I've read accounts that KK denied that this interaction with Toby Keith occurred. Would have been cool if it did occur, but it may not have.
  11. Agreed. I also think Ikard's opinion is going to change on Oct. 12.
  12. Interesting that Ikard thinks Hill is the worst player in our front 7. I wonder if maybe the only game Ikard studied was the MSU game, which was Hill's worst game of the season by far, IMO. It also won't surprise me if PK unveils some blitz schemes that he was keeping in his hip pocket specifically for this game.
  13. Ah, got it. I stand corrected.
  14. Uh, quite a bit I would imagine. My understanding is that the Braves are in if they split. Did you mean to say the Mets instead? https://www.mlb.com/news/2024-nl-wild-card-race-scenarios
  15. Agreed about the spot, and I basically said the same thing at the time in the game thread.
  16. Actually, only three times. Wisner's knee was clearly down before the ball broke the plane on the first and goal play. But Arch's long run and his first QB sneak both should have been ruled TD's.
  17. Well, except for their last two possessions in today's game. And two kneel-downs in last week's game.
  18. Refs in the GB game continuing to make shitty spots. Maybe they are Big 12 or SEC refs, too?
  19. Talk about a chain reaction . . . Ref gives MN a crap spot on a second down pass play. Should have been ruled first down, instead it's 3rd and 1. KOC makes a really questionable playcall -- Vikes throw some kind of weird seam route well beyond the first down. Darnold gets his receiver hurt by throwing into coverage. The hurt receiver is the #1 punt returner. So after the Vikings' defense forces a GB punt, the guy back to field the punt isn't the #1 returner. It's the backup, who promptly gacks the return by stupidly trying to catch the punt over his head, leading to a GB touchdown.
  20. OMG, Nailor, you idiot
  21. Terrible spot in that MN game. And then a stupid play call by KOC
  22. I liked it as well.
  23. While it's true that MSU hadn't scored many points up to that point (6), neither had Texas. Moreover, the Horns's offense had been very sporadic and, to that point, MSU's energy and fight had exceeded that of the Horns, IMO. The game was still in doubt -- all it would have taken is one freak play and MSU would have been in a position to tie the game. In a game like that, i.e., where you're having trouble sustaining drives and scoring points and the game is still in doubt, you take the 3, you make it a two-score game (which really ratchets up the pressure on MSU to have its inexperienced QBs start passing more), and you build on that momentum. Taking the points off the board was a bad decision. Fortunately, it didn't end up biting Texas, and it was counterbalanced by what I thought was some pretty good playcalling by Sark for much of the game.
  24. I didn't think the offensive play calling was a problem in general. There were calls here and there that you could quibble with. Frankly, his worst decision was to take the 3 off the board.
