  1. The cult does not engage in, encourage or support critical thinking. It is their biggest turdition. Just listen to chin pubes for 5 minutes. It's always someone else's fault..you know..big bad SIP. We beat the shit out of each other over FUPA, Vodka Tom, 7 Win Steve, etc. Shit, one of you degenerates is going to blow me up for incorrect grammer and spelling. Thank God. Aggy never even considered the negative implications of giving a coach $100 Million guaranteed. Guaranfuckingteed. Don't care. Got Jimbo. Squeeze harder aggy.
  2. The Rig 12 may slack off on overtly fucking us for the next three games. We win out and go to the conference championship game. Our opponent should be Okie Lite since they will likely win out too. Rig 12 can then go full on 2015 Boone Pickens level fuckery to make sure the left behind wins it all. They get massive ratings on the broadcast while screwing us out of a title and a chance at the CFP all at the same time. Yormack and Kevin Mar have wet panties wet just dreaming of that scenario.
  3. Here's something else I didn't realize until right now and, fucking wow. Apparently Texags and Liucci run the official NIL program for the school. I'm not talking about the Texags version. I'm talking about the Texas Aggies United. Some guy on 247 involved with it comes onto a thread about it and declares that Texags and Liucci "only run the servers for us" which is hilariously specious. Oh, does Texags have a monopoly on server management and infosec for aggies? Absurd. Anyway, here's some poster's response who has respect on the board and seems like a relatively intelligent and level-headed poster from other things I've seen. He mentions something that I hadn't considered, but it is quite insidious and he clearly is alluding to it happening before - Texags and Liucci turning over personal data to the AD when they've got a problem with posters. Now, NIL donors will also be at risk. Imagine if @immamac and @blacklab were often turning over info about posters to the LHF or AD? Holy shit. Anyway, here is the post: Mac1014 "RayRay11 said... (original post) It all really sucks. The only thing I’ll say is the Texas Aggies united NIL fund is not going to TexAgs. They run the website for us. That’s it. But Mac knows that." No, I don't know that. Nobody knows who is running this entity, right? Fair or not that would present a challenge for anyone wanting to stroke checks. Nobody knows what all goes on in the Texags frat house, but we do know they are a shady bunch and anything that outfit has a hand in becomes suspect. The blaring narrative right now is that, accurate or not, everyone blames A&M's establishment for being an 8 win school. They want new blood running things and people with expectations etc etc (right?) They want to be like Texas and Bama and LSU and fire coaches after three years of nonperformance. It's y'alls deal of course, and we all applaud you guys for trying hard and spending time playing around with it all. You get to see how the cake is baked and be a part of it so I'm sure it's fun to a point....but think of it like this. If you're a MAGA person, Texags represents the 'deep state' or the 'swamp' if you will....and in the spirit of fairness if you're a liberal, Texags represents MAGA people, (hopefully that covers everybody). So it only makes it tougher to a degree having TexAgs attach their name to it. It paints an image of Muffchin carrying Sharp's luggage on a weekend hunting trip with Jimbo since we've all seen what Muffchin & Co is willing to do to maintain locker room access. Anything with a 'Texags' moniker on it brings up the fact that they work for the athletic department and you never know when they are going to decide to reveal people's personal information to maintain access, or do anything they are told to by the powers that be. Everybody sees how they censor that board, and we see the b.s. Billy puts out there online and on his tours of interviews on the SEC Network with Marty & McGee and Finebaum and what-not. It's embarrassing and nauseating. Of course TexAgs has 854154801 subscribers, so I'm certain it presents a large pool to draw a gozillion $250 p/yr donors from, but I'm guessing you guys are needing more 5 and 6 figure donors to keep players from bolting in the portal. Either way, good luck to you guys because you're probably going to need a ton of money to hold onto talent around here while Jimbo gets QB's crippled and blames it on players not executing for 6 straight years. 4 top 10 classes in 6 years and he can't beat teams that haven't had top 15 classes. That's a hard ticket to sell, I'm sure.
  4. BYU - 25 pass, 35 rush KSU - 37 pass, 37 rush It needs to be closer to 35-40 rush and 20-25 passes if we are going to win with MM. KSU 34th in rushing defense, TCU 70th They lost DL Winters (14.5 TFL, 7.5 sacks) DL Horton (15 TFL, 10.5 sacks, 1 FF). Their defensive numbers are down across the board along the front 7. KSU ran for 343 yards, ISU ran for 215, SMU 158, WV 201, Tech 146
  5. so, the key numbers for me are 40 and 13....We have to run the ball at least 40 times, and MM has to throw the ball less than 13 times. If those two things happen, we win. MM will throw at least 1 int, but if he is only throwing 13 times total, this could be a 7+ point game win. Any OC with a brain should write the number 400 somewhere in the locker room and keep repeating that number to the OL. As in, boys our goal is to run for 400 yards Saturday. We are going to die on the hill of running the football Saturday. This is so incredibly easy to figure out, so how the heck can Sark, mess this up? This is the kind of game that makes me think of Saint Darrell, "Three things can happen when you pass and two of them are bad"
  6. Guess who got an endorsement. Trump gonna be mad. Breaking from the tradition of the first-in-the-nation caucuses, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds on Monday endorsed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for president, sending a clear message to Republicans looking for an alternative to former President Donald Trump that the time to act has arrived. As people waved “Reynolds for DeSantis” signs, the Iowa governor said the country needs “someone who calls out our moral decline for what it is, who looks to the future and not the past, someone who, most importantly, can win.” “That person is Ron DeSantis. And that’s why I am so proud to stand here tonight and give him my full support and endorsement for president of the United States of America,” Reynolds said. In putting her thumb on the scale for DeSantis, Reynolds is lining up behind a like-minded executive who has also successfully enacted a strikingly conservative agenda. Her endorsement will test the power of her political brand in her home state. Across the country, Republican leaders have experienced limited success convincing conservative voters to move on from Trump. Reynolds wasted little time going after Trump, dinging his response to Covid-19 and saying DeSantis “won’t get distracted” and “will stay disciplined,” a clear rebuke of the former president, who has publicly assailed her for months. “We need someone who will fight for you, who puts this country first and not himself,” she said.
  7. Ok so this is funny. Preparing for my POD today and as promised we said we were going to dork out on the math and try to calculate how many wins Dusty cost us last year. I did an hour and a half of spreadsheets and baseball reference and a bunch of other stuff and my number came out to 3.2 Games. I think it's probably higher than that b/c I made no attempt to play guys in more advantageous situations (like Meyers only against LHP, or Diaz never DH'ing), so I'd say the number was probably 4 games he cost us through lineup decisions. Then, to check myself I just played Diaz at catcher 125 games and maldy at Catcher like 40, while also giving Chas back an extra 15 or 20 games Dusty took from him and benching Abreu so Diaz could get 20 games at 1b. Just those 2 simple decisions, pro rated out, added up to 3.1. Then I looked at our Pythag vs our actual record and it was 93 wins v the 90 we actually had. So, with even luck and optimal playing time the answer is 97 wins. This last years astros team, with the players available to it, and average luck should have probably won 97 games. Will be interested in seeing Andrew's math on this. We will be doing a weekly throughout the offseason. 1st offseason one is look back at manager look ahead at managers we like or are looking at. #2 will be highs and lows and favorite parts of the year. After that it will just be whatever makes sense in light of events going on in the offseason- projecting out 2024 and then some talk about baseball movies. I love baseball movies.
  8. You think a Dykes coached team isn't going to show up at home to beat Texas, who he absolutely hates, on the way out the door? And we're going in with a QB throwing 4 to 5 passes a game into the defenders hands? We aren't getting KSU or WVU level effort. We're getting everything they have to throw. This is a holy war to them and they know it's the last chance they'll get at us for years, possibly decades. You feel confident on the road against a fanatically motivated opponent with Turnover Murphy at QB? Houston is a worse team with lesser talent but similar hatred for us and they handed us our ass for almost 3 quarters. We needed a bad ref spot to escape that. Against KSU we needed possibly the worse coached game of Klieman's HC career and a tremendous defensive stop to luck out that win in the end.
  9. Copy and paste job: unch with Liucci: Billy Liucci joins TexAgs Radio (Monday, November 6) By Billy Liucci November 6, 2023 7 1,196 Tweet Share Jump to Discussion TexAgs co-owner and executive editor Billy Liucci joined TexAgs Radio Monday morning to share his thoughts following Texas A&M's loss to Ole Miss. Liucci also discussed the state of the football program in year six under Jimbo Fisher and Aggie hoops' non-conference slate. Segment 1 (00:00:00 - 14:43:10) Unfortunately, we have been here before. When you get to the point where people say nothing will work, most of the fan base is upset. I check that to a level. I try to stay in between a level three and seven. We are fans. The people who make decisions are fans. Massive donors are fans. Many of those people post on our site or read it every day. They are fans. Businesses in their personal lives have helped steer this massive ship and keep it from hitting icebergs. Right now, this thing may be heading towards an iceberg. You gave Jimbo Fisher and raise to keep him from not going to LSU. You feel you had to do it at that time. You need to learn from your mistakes. The money and extension weren't the cutoff. It was guaranteeing it for that long. They wanted to keep Jimbo, and I think it was the right thing to do at the time. They did more than they needed to to keep him. I don't know if Jimbo would have said, "Nine million for this long? Nope. I'm out." Kevin Sumlin had the same thing happen with USC. I talked extensively with him while he was debating A&M and USC. He was going to go to USC. They did a good job with the Buzz Williams extension. It will come up with Jim Schlossnagle. You have to look at the fallout and who you could hire. If the national media smells blood, everyone sees that. Winning Saturday would have silenced all of it. It doesn't mean they are out of the woods, but it would have silenced it. You had a 47-yard kick to tie and go to overtime. I don't want to single that out. The timing of the kick was weird. You were so close to silencing all this. This football team could have easily beaten all three of the SEC teams they have lost to. They are just falling short against the best teams in the league. Scott Woodward went to the board and guaranteed he could get Jimbo when he was at Florida State. I don't know if Jimbo gave any indication he would leave FSU. Woodward believed he could get him. Sumlin knew of that before his season was up. He mentioned it to me in passing. That was awkward. Sumlin would say, “If we lose these next couple, I guess y'all are getting Jimbo." The question was the buyout. They lost to UCLA and lost your starting quarterback. You barely beat Nicholls State, and you benched Kellen Mond. It's crazy he won an Orange Bowl to finish his career. The fear for next year would be, what does your roster look like? Realistically, I would feel a million times better about this team next year than A&M's first year in the SEC. You didn't know what you had in that 2012 team. This team can win, but certain things need to happen. My problem is there has also been something. They are way better than last year. They are losing games. There are a million reasons, but there are always reasons. Segment 2 (14:43:10 - 22:36:16) In a vacuum, losing on the road to the No. 10 team? That's life in the SEC. You would think A&M was right there. That is five straight losses to the Mississippi schools, 6-12 to Power 5 teams, nine straight on the road and 10-11 since the start of last season. Unacceptable doesn't even begin to describe it. Jimbo won't give into the media saying it, but I'm sure he thinks about that while sitting in his office. All things aside, are they doing everything they can? What are we doing wrong? At the end of the day, no matter what level you go to and exhaust all options, it doesn't matter. You have to do more. They are right there with Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee, who I believe is a top-15 team right now. Throw LSU into the mix. I don't how they will do if Max Johnson doesn't play. I will be interested to see what Jimbo says cause I have heard is Max will do everything he can to give it a go. I can't imagine him popping up this weekend after a rib injury. There is nobody tougher on that team in terms of wanting to play football. If that dude played with a cracked or broken rib in that game with these hits he kept taking? He is a warrior. I don't know when it happened. There were some plays, to me, where he was gritting them in there. They were complimenting the throws, and he didn't have his normal zip on them. Credit to him. They did not quit on Saturday. They did not let frustration set in. A&M is competitive with the very best in conference this year. The problem is you are in year six. A&M is far from a terrible team. They are tremendously improved and are still playing competitive football, losing their starting quarterback. That's the frustration. You have a tremendous backup. You can win these games as they a currently constructed, and they are just falling short. In some ways, that heightens the frustration. Segment 3 (22:36:16 - 47:20:00) Ohio State is a big game for Aggie basketball. Tonight is a big game because it is the opener. In these early games, they have to win. I know nothing about Texas A&M-Commerce. You see big upsets around college basketball early on, and A&M needs to avoid that. Having a veteran roster will get you through the early games that could blemish your record. I like this team's makeup. How good of basketball can they play early in the season? We have seen them struggle early. Partically, last year. That can't be the case this year. Challenging is an understatement with the non-conference schedule. That's why Buzz Williams was excited about playing Baylor and Texas Tech. I am really interested/concerned in terms of them getting Julius Marble back. I understand when it goes through the university level, you won't get commentary on it. I would not sit here and pedal hope. There's an unpredictability of it, and I don’t know what it's about. That's student privacy stuff involved there. Marble is a really good basketball player and has experience in the system. The combo of him and Henry Coleman III is one of the more potent ones in the SEC. It changes a lot. That's still a damn good roster, but the longer they have to play without him, the more concerned I will be. He is a difference-maker. He helped you win a lot of basketball games last year. This team can navigate without him, but they are a whole hell of a lot better and more formidable with him. It sounds like Buzz and everyone else are in "Wait and see" mode. It sucks that you can't get information or any time because it's a university-level thing. It's crazy. That's as tough as a named non-conference schedule as I’ve ever seen. Virginia should be ranked. DePaul is a good historical. That is a fun non-conference schedule. People wonder how Max Johnson was better at LSU. He was up and down there, but he was also really young. The answer is there. LSU protected him better. Those numbers, 300 yards, 74 percent completion, two touchdowns and a pick, are one thing. Look at how many times he answered, and he bounced back from the interception. It was Ainias Smith and Jahdae Walker, too. Jake Johnson had a big touchdown. Le'Veon Moss really got them going. He got hurt. Amari Daniels comes in and puts up identical numbers. There were a lot of dudes that stepped up. That's the best-extended stretch the O-line has had. Max was still under pressure, but people have to realize it's going to happen in the SEC. That was a quality defense. Statistically, they are No. 3. A&M cut through them. Max was the catalyst of all that. That was a heroic performance, and if he could have led them to one more score... It's so frustrating they fumbled a damn handoff in that situation that took it from, maybe, a 42-yarder to a 47-yarder. You may have gotten a first down. You may have gotten two yards. The play for loss was a freaking disaster. Ole Miss got the ball at the 20 and marched 80 yards on you. It was a momentum killer. A&M had the lead. They took the lead when people didn't think they would. The defense could not get the stop. Someone out of the 11 has to make the play there. You got called for a pass interference. That was just unfortunate. You pointed out Miami and Alabama. A&M did have healthy corners in those two. Had you had Tyreek Chappell and Deuce Harmon, some of those catches Tre Harris made, he still would have made. In three of their four losses, they have been shredded through the air. I said all offseason, I was really worried about corner. I want to see more speed. Jacoby Mathews has it, he is just inexperienced. In your losses, you gave up a kick return for a touchdown and missed a field goal against Miami. Against Alabama, you had a big blocked field goal. Against Tennessee, a punt return for a touchdown and a missed field goal would have given you the lead in the fourth. This week, you had a great blocked field goal, but with the game on the line, you missed a field goal to tie it. I have not even talked about the struggles in the punting game. Conner Weigman did not get sacked against Miami, but he was under insane duress. We saw the sacks to Max against Alabama and Tennessee. A&M has had the most pressured quarterbacks in college football. Mond has a good line. As the game went on, it looked rhythmic. Over the course of time, there is no doubt A&M quarterbacks have been pressured and hit more. Is it the O-line? Is it the play-calling? Is it too slow developing? Is it who we are recruiting up front? I have a hard time believing that. Is it what we are asking the line to do? I have a hard time believing that. Is it the running back pass protection? What have we done to change that? Have they not changed enough? Segment 4 (47:20:01 - 57:31:21) It's 2023 in college football. Let's stop crying about it. Ole Miss has a successful NIL program. Lane Kiffin wishes it was better. Ole Miss plays the portal game. He has still been persistent with McKinnley Jackson over direct messages. A&M needs to really look at who wants to be here because they want to be here vs. who is here because of NIL. If it feels like the only reason you will keep a player is because of NIL, you have to really reevaluate. Everyone is really high on Texas. They had to do everything they could do to keep Xavier Worthy. There is nothing wrong with that. There were strong rumors Malik Nabers was leaving LSU behind the scenes. That was a legitimate possibility. I'm assuming he got a nice NIL bump to stay. That had to happen with some prominent A&M players. It will happen this offseason. It becomes harder to do when you are losing. The portal poachers have A&M circled right now. In 2023, you can fight that. Part of it is NIL. Part of is Jimbo making the necessary adjustments, provided he gets the chance to do that. Don’t misinterpret what I am saying. The frustration level reached a tipping point after what went down on Saturday. Anything is in play. I did get calls around the country from people that I trust who are saying, "What do we need to do to protect ourselves if A&M comes calling?" It's coaches that I do not think A&M would go after, but it is people preparing if the A&M job becomes open. Word is kind of getting out that it could be a possibility. A&M paid $20 million six to seven years ago. That was a lot, then. That would be a lot less now. If Jimbo stays, which I still think he will, you make those changes, and you get out in front of things. You have to start putting out fires as they pop up now. Do you let X walk? If you do, how important is it to keep Y and Z? Say, "Okay, we don't want this player to walk," but if they ask a certain amount of NIL, at what point do you call their bluff or say, "Hey, go on." You look at the production, and what you could get for that. You could get two for one. You cannot have a mass exodus. I mean a real one. Not a perceived one. You will take a PR hit when some of these kids leave. You have to keep the ones you have to keep. When you lose the ones you have to keep, that's a problem. Recruiting is a whole other thing. That's a different deal. You are selling them on the NIL structure. That's another beast. It will be a wild next month. Segment 5 (57:31:22 - 1:02:53:27) I like to go get sushi at Oishi Sushi Asian Fusion. They are great. I may get lasagna at Fritellas. Conner Weigman's decision will be tough. He will need some assurance on what the coaching situation is. If Jimbo remains, it will be the same offensive coordinator. They are not changing from that. You would have to convince him your O-line will improve and that you are keeping your weapons. And if you do lose a weapon, you will have to replace it. The hard part is the timing. You can say, “We might lose a David Nuño, but we might go get an Olin Buchanan,” but you don’t have him. Then, you go into grey areas of tampering, as Kiffin does, but no one will call him out because the media is so obsessed with kissing his ass. Conner has a nice situation here at A&M. He is the starting quarterback and knows the offense. He is the guy you are trying to build things around, and he loves it at Texas A&M. He has been a beneficiary on the NIL front.
  10. We are basically the 2021 team with more talent so instead of blowing the lead officially we are able to hang on in most cases just not all. The root of the issue is our head coach plays stupid Pac-2 football still despite the fact he's at Texas. We need Nick Saban to come shit down his neck and tell him to fuck off with all the 4th down B$ and we don't have it. We would be undefeated if we just played sane football and would potentially be odds on favorites to win it all. Instead we are going to fuck around and find out wasting the golden opportunity.
  11. He's good enough to win the rest of our games because we don't play any good teams down stretch (Tech with Morton playing is the best). But he has been awful. Case McCoy was significantly better his first few starts his second year in program. And he did not have this line, receivers, TE, or running backs. Murphy has been, so far, about as terrible as Squints and Swoopes were. Let's pray he plays a lot better this week if Ewers cannot go.
  12. I started lurking on this board back in the dark days of Strong and Herman. I assumed most of the guys on here were pissed off all the time because we sucked. Now I'm getting the impression that most of them are just like that. We beat a really good Bama team. We took a frustrating loss to a decent but not great OU team. We've taken care of business against everyone else, including a win over the third best team in the Big 12 with our backup QB. The rest of our regular season games are winnable - and not in the Tom Herman "well we should win but you know we're going to fuck it up" sense, I mean actually winnable. It's November and we are the odds on favorite to win the conference. We have a realistic shot of making CFP. Smile you fucks.
  13. At this point all we can do is let the rig 12 fans have their moment. They know they are going to sink to irrelevance after the two "evil empires" are gone. Fear causes people to lash out incoherently. Let them have their moment. They aren't going to let us win this conference fairly so our only chance is to win convincingly....but Sark has to get better for that to happen. No more stupid game time decisions.
  14. A short, pudgy conservative gay Roman Catholic Ukrainian Jew from Long Island by way of Brazil went on to become an honorable mention All-American collegiate volleyball player before being forcibly removed from the United States House of Representatives. This is absolutely hilarious to me. But it sets an incredibly dangerous precedent. All the shit we used to say as young adults at a bar to impress people. Can now be a viable way to get elected to Federal Office where the grift has almost no limits. I once gave some serious thought to running for Austin City Council. But my wife didn't want to go through the public scrutiny despite us living an incredibly bland and boring life. What fucking idiots we were. I could just make shit up as I go along and probably win a Senate seat. It's pretty much how I've gotten this far anyways, may as well make some serious money off of it.
  15. The situations are different. Last year in the Oklahoma State game we had two losses so the playoff was out of the picture. The conference title was still up for grabs at that that point, and both the team and Quinn could have benefited from pulling him out of a game he was practically throwing away by himself. You pull him out to settle him down and see if a fresh quarterback can guide the ship to a win, and then during the next week you build Quinn back up and start him again. No one was saying to bench him for the season. Once the TCU game came around, Sark had already made his bed and allowed Quinn to blow the Oklahoma State game so there was nothing to play for at that point. I disagree that letting him shit his pants in front of everyone for those two games had any benefit on him developing this year. The same level of shame and embarrassment in his lack of preparation would have happened from getting benched as well. Now this season is completely different. It isn't the full-time starter we are talking about, it's two backups, and whomever loses the competition for next year's starter is transferring anyway. It would have been best for next year to get a look at both under this high stress, live fire situation to see who handles it better heading into next year's competition. It would have also been best for this year to exhaust all the options and figure out which guy gives you the best chance to win now since both the playoff and the conference title are still on the line. Now there could be circumstances we don't know about such as the Mannings telling Sark they don't want Arch playing under any circumstance this year, but that just isn't really believable. It's far more believable that Sark is staying true to his tendencies of being a quarterback coach first and head coach second. Since Maalik stuck it out with him, he's going to give him every opportunity to torpedo the ship and throw away a conference title and playoff out of loyalty to his guy. It's just one of Sark's faults. Chances are we get TCU's best shot on Saturday in Ft Worth. We better hope Quinn is ready for it. If not hang on to your butts, fellas.
  16. Arch's redshirt has zero to do with the situation. For one, the only way Arch is in college 5 years is if he's a complete bust. Secondly, even if he played against BYU in an all hands on deck tryout and was clearly better than Murphy he could have played every game up until Thanksgiving and kept the redshirt. Third, you know what's more important than a third string QB's redshirt? Winning the fucking conference and getting in the playoff. Also, I think Sark isn't handling this like a true head coach. He's handling it like a former college quarterback and offensive coordinator who refuses to bench one of his guys that he recruited. He did the exact same thing last year with Ewers. Remember the TCU and Oklahoma State games? Even though Ewers was almost solely responsible for losing those games he refused to bench him. He stated that young quarterbacks have to go through those growing pains to develop. A head coach should always put the team ahead of a young quarterback's development, but this one doesn't. And that's going to get us beat if we aren't as lucky as we were last Saturday. Unlike KSU who is built offensively in the worst possible way to attack Texas's best in the country run defense, TCU is built in the best possible way to attack our defense. Their strength is the passing game and their receivers are fast and talented. They will move the ball against us all day long, but somehow they are worse in the red zone than we are, so the defense is going to have to make plays to keep them to field goals. I do not feel good going on the road with a turnover prone, inaccurate quarterback against a team whose offense can easily attack our weakness. Unfortunately, we don't have a head coach like Saban to save Sark from his worst tendencies.
  17. Everyone wants to blacken our eye and have permanent scoreboard over us. That is the reality of the rest of the games we walk into against beatable teams. I'm glad that this young team believes in each other and haven't shown quit. The DB and QB play are their weakness that they've managed to mitigate to date. I just hope they can keep it up. I thought last Saturday that we had lost the game but we stayed in it and the other coach blinked and made a bonehead decision that helped hand their team a loss. I think these Horns will stay in and fight. I am going to trust that and though we have flaws, we don't have quit. That can get you wins.
  18. Mack the politician held them in check. We also were dominant. In 2004, I think we injured every QB. Greg Robinson had our guys teeing off on offenses throughout the game. Rig12 didnt want to see that shit anymore. But when Briles and Gundy started getting their high powered offenses going, then things really got out of hand from 2010-20. Plus new player safety rules, which also added an array of subjective rules Rig12 officials could use to tip the scales. Is there any doubt Texas has 5x more personal fouls than their opponents? Subjective penalties like holding and PI have to be 3x, 4x, 5x over the past 10 years. I have little doubt Coach Herman would still be coaching here if games were officiated fairly. He’d have 2-3 more wins a year I bet and a conference championship or two.
  19. I’m aware of what the scenario is. The point is this- the SEC was always going to be ahead of us barring something freakish happen and then undefeateds in other major conferences. Is it theoretically possible everyone wins out? Sure, uh, I guess? But it’s like 90+ percent texas goes at 12-1, and if we don’t I doubt it’s a screw job we howl over forever. what I’m saying is chill.
  20. I was on a hiking trip in the Sierra Mountains this weekend, so I just had a chance to watch the game. The screen pass interception is inexcusable, but not a play that’s hard to imagine a freshman under pressure to make. The close-call dropped picks are definitely concerning, but our starting QB has had quite a few of those this season as well. I think Maalik made some really solid plays, just missed on others, and made some dumb mistakes as well. Thats kind of what we were expecting though right? I think his overall comfortability and awareness will improve each week. If Quinn were to go down again, it’d be nice to play a QB who’s played some high stakes college snaps. I think Sark made the right call, we all knew the whole team would need to rally around the back up to keep pulling out these wins. I think it’s a bit irrational of you all to believe Arch could game manager us to an undefeated record with an offensive line that’s struggled in run blocking at times. As inconsistent as he’s been, Maaliks deep shot ability has kept the box cleaner than I thought. He has to eliminate costly turnovers. Let’s see if he can improve on the road. History says don’t count on it.
  21. Bama is not going to jump us as long as we win out. We won by double digits on their home field in a game we completely dominated. There is a reason they ranked Oregon is ahead and not Bama, we already know how they see it. We just need to win out, that is all that matters. A Texas team in the playoffs would be a big ratings hit for the networks and there will be a push for us. We also just beat a well coached top 25 team with our backup QB. Let’s not act like pussies.
  22. There is so much stupid in here at all times. Who the fuck cares if Bama jumps us? They either lose to Georgia and that takes care of itself or they beat Georgia and Georgia falls below us. There’s probably like a less than 5% chance a 1 loss texas gets left in the cold, and if it happens you just shrug your shoulders and say that sort of sucked. if you want to be sensible about it root for USC or Oregon state or Utah or Washington state to win against Oregon/Washington or root for Florida, Miami or Louisville to get Florida state. if you want to get really difficult I guess you could root for a 1 loss Michigan to win the big 10, with their scandal no way they’d go over a 1 loss texas. Wonder what the tie breaks are over there in the big 10? I also think a 1 loss Penn state champ has no chance of going over a 1 loss texas champ, but Ohio state with a loss might be considered to have a slightly better resume than us with their win at Domers. you also have the big 10 championship game where Iowa could spoil the party. there are like 10 things that would have to happen for us to get left out if we win out. 10 team moneyline parleys almost never hit y’all.
  23. Game 7 of 2019 was a 6-2 loss, not a 1 run game. The offense never got going, the team just wasn't stringing hits together in the same inning and they left a bunch of runners stranded. Harris came in and gave up the 2 run homer, and it was 3-2 going into the bottom of the 7th. That was all they needed to win. They scored in the 8th and 9th too, so not much you can do about it with only 2 runs scored. Are people arguing that Cole coming in to relieve Greinke would have resulted in 2.2 scoreless innings with a 2-1 win? That seems like a stretch, but I guess it could happen. We just saw Bochy put in Montgomery in the middle of game 7 of the ALCS, and that worked out great for them, while our ace Verlander sat in the dugout as the bullpen failed. I don't know how often it happens, but it would be interesting to see stats on SPs that enter a game 7 in relief and how successful they are.
  24. We barely beat KState and u of H and you think we can be good enough to beat the other three teams in the CFP? Your post might be the most delusional I’ve read all day. We didn’t beat OU. Our loss to them looks worse and worse and even if we win out the likelihood of getting in the CFP isn’t great. Because we didn’t take care of business against an average OU team. Fuck off with that nonsense. If you’re going to call my posts out at least recognize you’re living in a pipe dream
  25. Damn, wish we had taken care of our own business and beat BlowU ugly. Oh well. I don’t think we are CFP ready. I’d like to believe we are but the signs have been evident all season long save the Bama game (one that was strenuously prepared for and scripted for the whole offseason) that we ain’t ready for that. We aren’t healthy either. Too many fucking injuries. I’d rather go to a Top Tier bowl and end it on a bowl win (even though Sark is like 2-5 in bowl games as a HC) and take that awesome momentum into the SEC. Jmo. We don’t control our own destiny here.
