Texas vs. Mississippi State - 3:15pm on SEC Network
We're seeing what it's like when at least two, if not all three, of the phases of the game are bad on this team.

That missed chip-shot FG is looming large now.

I agree the offense is doing the defense no favors (as usual this season). But the schematic breakdowns and failure to adjust to what MSU is doing on offense are pretty glaring this game.

24 fucking unanswered points so far.

This is PK's worst game in a long time. He's getting outschemed consistently. You give up a 3rd and 13 on a swing pass out of the fucking backfield?!?! Are you fucking kidding me? And then just allow them to march down the fucking field for another TD. That's 31 points on the defense today through three quarters. Yes, I know they miss Taafe, but that doesn't account for all the shittiness we're seeing from this defense today.

Suck fucking ineptitude -- coaches and players this game. Jordan Washington with the fucking ole' in pass protection.

No fucking pass rush the entire game. PK doing nothing to scheme pressure on Shapen. Simmons, Burke, Spence, Jackson all AWOL

Fuck these asshole refs. Obvious/blatant facemask on Niblett WITH THE REF STANDING RIGHT THERE and he does fucking nothing.

Helluva time to miss a chipshot, Shipley.

Bourbon
Nikka from the Barrel is the first Japanese whiskey I ever tried. Good balance of smoke vs. grassy/floral. I like it on an occasional basis, but I'm kind of the opposite of you, i.e., I prefer the usual taste profiles of bourbons and ryes over scotch, Irish whiskey, etc.

2025 World Series- Dodgers v Blue Jays
Then I must have seen a significant percentage of the "vanishingly small" number of those incidents. I also suspect that those stats didn't include instances in which the pitcher who issued the IBB then had trouble finding the strike zone against the next hitter or two because it would be difficult to actually prove a connection between the two. But having seen it happen more than once, I'm pretty confident that there was something about having to throw 4 lollipops well off the plate that occasionally had an effect on the pitcher's ability to then hone back in on the strike zone with actual pitches against the next hitter. For me, the current rule doesn't speed the game up that much (certainly not like the pitch clock does) because the old IBB didn't take that much time. But I don't harbor much (well, any, really) hope that they'll change the rule back. Just me shaking my fist at clouds at this point.

That's great. I forgot that I've also seen a wild pitch or two on occasions when pitchers were attempting to intentionally walk a batter. There are all sorts of ways that making 'em actually throw the pitches can affect the game. I realize they changed the rule to speed up the game, but the old IBBs didn't take that much time. They should go back to the way it used to be done.

Agreed. Never liked the fact that they changed that rule. It significantly impacts strategy and the game in general. Back in the days of having to throw the pitches, it wasn't unusual that the pitcher would intentionally walk someone and then have a hard time finding the strike zone against the next hitter. In what was one of the dumber decisions I've ever seen a manager make, I saw a manager bring in a reliever when the starter was clearly done. So what does the manager do? He has the reliever issue an intentional walk to the first batter he faces. And then the reliever couldn't find the strike zone against the next two hitters -- gave up two unintentional walks, one of which walked in a run. If you were gonna intentionally walk the next hitter, why not just have the starter finish out his game by throwing four soft-tosses three feet off the plate, and *then* bring in the reliever? Maybe the reliever would have been wild anyway, but having to throw his first four pitches way off the plate certainly didn't help him. I've also seen a pitch intended to be part of an intentional walk mistakenly thrown too close to the plate and hammered for a hit similar to what Atwood did for the Lady Horns in the last WCWS.- Trump’s America

I think that's part of the reason I was ignorant of how bad it was.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Holy crap, I had not realized how bad the holding (tackling) was by aggy on that play.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

+1. Texas pretty much did this in last season's game, and did a decent job of limiting Pavia. He had some moments here and there, esp. early in that game, but for the most part I thought the defense did a good job of keeping him in check. However, we all know the Vandy O coaches are going to be scheming to deal with that strategy. The notion of playing to contain and/or spying Pavia is something of which they're well aware. Should be an interesting chess match between PK and Vandy's offensive coordinator, Tim Beck. - 2025 World Series- Dodgers v Blue Jays
