i regret not posting my literally nothing can go wrong screed on here last week as i was extremely confident going into that game, and even halftime, only to see us get absolutely run the fuck over by a team that appeared to want it way more than we did. columbia is an absolute shithole, but that stadium is fun as hell and we obviously were, ah, not quite ready for the moment. we gotta regroup, survive hugh freeze wizardry and then prepare for what will surely be a game on the 30th that both fanbases have very level heads about.

I propose the yell leaders instruct everyone to start squeezing immediately after the Auburn game and continuing throughout the week.

A&M essentially has 2 bye weeks before Auburn. And Auburn plays Bama the week after. Aggy won’t lose that one. 

aggy plays Texas the weak after. both teams will be looking ahead, but aggy is on the road.

Pot meet kettle.

Also, Diego Pavia wants to know what this "hugh freeze wizardry" is.

Liucci whining 

Segment 1 (00:00:00 - 12:44:24)

  • I like the current snapshot of where teams are at. It is the most fair. That applies to A&M, Texas and everyone in the top 25. Alabama has really done some stuff. They beat Georgia and beat the crap out of LSU. They lost to Vanderbilt. It was a bad loss, but not nearly as bad as it seemed. I think South Carolina will win out, and that loss for Texas A&M won't look as bad. The Notre Dame loss looked bad when they lost to Northern Illinois, but they will be a College Football Playoff team.
     
  • When it's all said and done, Notre Dame will be in the top 10. I think South Carolina could win out and be a top-25 team. I think LSU could win out. They have to play Vanderbilt. I think LSU will be ranked. I think Missouri will lose this weekend to South Carolina.
     
  • Here is one thing I have run into. The Longhorns are saying. “We'll have a win over A&M.” We will get to that. My issue with Texas is if you look at who they have played, you have not played an SEC guantlet. Take pleasure in the fact that the year you came in, Alabama wasn't the greatest Alabama ever. Florida is in the dumps. It's is scheduling. It’s the second week of November and they have played one conference road game. Texas will go to Fayetteville this weekend. That’s it. You are not running a gauntlet. It's the children’s version of American Gladiators. I don’t know what Taylen Green’s status is. The number of backup quarterbacks they have played... That number is up to like five.
     
  • They lost to a Georgia team that got here asses whipped by Ole Miss. They get smashed into the grass in Oxford but beat the brakes off Texas. Texas played a QB from Yale for four quarters this part Saturday.
     
  • Don’t worry about a fraudulent run to the SEC title game if you are in Texas. It's about the teams that get left out. They have the gripe. A&M has a direct say in it. If Texas is the third-best team, they will have to prove it. They will play, hopefully, a 9-2 A&M team.
     
  • As of today, Texas looks like a top-5 team. My issue is if they do beat A&M, it really affects other teams in the conference. If A&M beats Texas, that's a 10-2 Texas team. They are positioned so high, so where do they go? Let's see what the committee does with Georgia and Miami. Neither one will drop out of the rankings. 
  • If Texas A&M wins out in the regular season and then loses the SEC title game, it will be interesting to hear the discussion around the playoff. You have two SEC games left, one on the road. Auburn has played everyone close. Their numbers don't match up with their record. It is a dangerous game.

Segment 4 (17:13:04 - 33:48:16)

  • Baton Rouge was very wet and rainy. It was treacherous getting there and back. I loved the pregame environment. There was a lot of energy. It fooled me into thinking that LSU was going to win that game. I love "Callin' Baton Rouge." I don't know how I feel about "Neck." I am a sucker for anything that gets the crowd involved. They have fun there. 
     
  • I saw a few fights. Alabama and LSU don't like each other. 
     
  • My biggest complaint is that it is dark everywhere around the stadium. The area is not well-lit, which adds to the mystique and aura. It was plenty safe, and everybody was nice. The sound system was not as clean and crisp as at Kyle Field. 
     
  • Tiger Stadium is ten out of ten. Kyle Field and Neyland Stadium are also ten out of ten. Neyland is my favorite outside of Kyle Field. We saw Williams-Brice at its best for a given game. Year in and year out, where are the best environments? It is Tuscaloosa, Death Valley, Neyland and Kyle Field. Remember when we used to say The Swamp? 
     
  • Before the game, I thought it was very electric. It was SEC Saturday night football, and Alabama and Jalen Milroe were going to have to be a great team to win. LSU was not a great team at A&M. Georgia was not a great team at Ole Miss. Texas A&M could not go in and beat South Carolina. I didn't think Alabama would be able to do what they did. 
     
  • I thought LSU would not let Jalen Milroe run on them. All I heard from LSU fans was that the only reason they couldn't stop Marcel Reed was because they weren't prepared for him. They had a bye week to prepare for a guy that you don't have to study up on much to know what he will do. Milroe ran for almost 200 yards. He ran from the beginning to the end. Alabama beat the crap out of LSU, and a big part of it was that they could not tackle Milroe, and Garrett Nussmeier was turning the ball over. 
     
  • LSU is like a lot of the SEC in that they are not great. They are a tick down. They are fortunate that LaNorris Sellers got hurt. They would be sitting on four losses if he did not. LSU fans are starting to recognize that.
     
  • They can't fire Brian Kelly. They got so mad at me for thinking he pursued the Michigan job. I heard he was and still think he did. How much longer does Sherrone Moore have there? Michigan would be doing LSU a favor. Last year, everyone got very defensive about that. This year, LSU fans would tell him to go. Kelly is better than what he gets credit for. They are getting fed up in Baton Rouge. We have been there.
     
  • It is hard to see Alabama losing another game. They are probably 10-2 with wins over Georgia, South Carolina and LSU. They are in the playoff at 10-2. Auburn is an interesting player now. Can they disrupt anything by playing both Texas A&M and Alabama? They could be a spoiler.
     
  • Texas A&M at 10-2 is in the SEC title game. They would have one conference loss, and Texas would have two. We are in year one of Mike Elko, and they will go into their final two SEC games in the top 15 and one win away from tying your best conference record since joining the league. You will play a final game for a berth in the SEC title game for the first time. You will play Texas in your final game of the regular season for a shot at ten wins and a playoff berth.
     
  • That is what makes this Auburn game so massive. It gives you a sense of unease. At the same time, you know the team Texas A&M has had all year. They have been the better team. That stands in the way of setting everything up for the Texas game. 
     
  • If the Longhorns are that good, they will beat A&M, win the SEC title game, and win playoff games. 
     
  • Here is what I think is likely: Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia and Tennessee could all end 10-2. Texas A&M would either be 11-2 or 10-3. One SEC team would be in at 11-2. You would have four SEC teams at 10-2 and Texas A&M at 10-3 because they went to Atlanta. Of those five, maybe three get in. Definitely two, maybe three. The champion would already be in. A couple of teams out of those five would probably be left out. The committee will have really tough decisions. 
     
  • A one-loss Indiana is getting in the playoff even if they lose by thirty to Ohio State. What have they done? I think it is a great story. 
     
  • Michigan is 5-5. I said they would lose four or five games. I was wrong. They are worse than that. 
     
  • I said Oklahoma would lose at least five games. I was way off. Brent Venables is not the guy. I was right about that. They won't fire him this year. 
     
  • Brent Venables, Billy Napier, Sam Pittman and Mark Stoops could be on the hot seat next year. 
     
  • Florida does not have much of a chance. Scott Stricklin has his hands full down in Gainesville right now. 

Segment 5 (33:48:17 - 43:00:18)

  • I don’t think A&M has shown enough for me to say that A&M is the best team in Texas, especially in light of what happened at LSU this weekend. That said, I don't think Texas has shown that they are better than A&M. I think they are a more balanced team because of playmakers in the run-and-pass game, stability and quarterback experience. Both defenses are really good. Texas looks like they have an elite defense, but they haven't played a real offense yet. A team Texas would not like to run into would be Ole Miss.
     
  • Based on what I see, I'd put Ole Miss first in terms of offense in the SEC and Texas second. Jalen Milroe of Alabama is a problem when he's running around, and you don't have an answer. But we've seen them struggle this year. I think they're trending up, but I would put Texas at No. 2 and Alabama at No. 3. I think the wildcard is A&M. It's hard to put them ahead of Georgia, but they got their asses whipped by Ole Miss. Ole Miss lost to Kentucky. Ole Miss lost to LSU. Alabama got beat by Vanderbilt and Tennessee.
     
  • Ole Miss' loss against Kentucky at home is probably the worst in the SEC, Arkansas on the road is probably No. 2, Vandy on the road for Alabama is probably No. 3 and A&M blown out by South Carolina is No. 4. Why is Ole Miss' loss against LSU not as bad as A&M's loss to South Carolina? It might be. There is a real chance that South Carolina will be ranked ahead of LSU at the end of the season. They have to beat Clemson. That's not easy, but I think they will.

Segment 6 (43:00:19 - 50:31:27)

  • I don't see a world where the Big Ten doesn't get four teams in the playoffs, which is crazy to me. Unless Ohio State loses to Indiana and Michigan, it is hard to see them not getting four in. The gap is less than it has been in years past. Is Indiana undefeated with an SEC schedule? Texas A&M is probably undefeated against Indiana's schedule.
     
  • If the Big Ten gets four teams in, then Boise State will make five, Notre Dame will make six, the SEC Champion will make seven, the ACC Champion will make eight, and the Big 12 Champion will be nine. The SEC would have to claim those other three spots to get four in. What if BYU goes 12-0, which is likely, and then loses to Colorado in the title game, which is possible? Does a 12-1 BYU miss out on the playoff for a 10-2 SEC team that, in theory, could be the fourth-best team in the league? Does a 12-1 BYU get left out for a 10-3 Texas A&M? They should, but do they?
     
  • One of the SEC teams at 10-2 should probably be punished, say a Texas team that is 10-2. They would never put a 12-1 BYU over a 10-2 Texas. Fairly, why wouldn't you? Texas would have been 0-2 in their only ranked games. What about a 10-2 Tennessee that lost to Arkansas?
     
  • Miami's loss greatly improved the SEC's chances of getting a fourth team. If SMU and Clemson play for the title and Miami sits it out, then the league could be a two-bid league. That would be shameful. 
     
  • I think it will ultimately shake out where the SEC gets four teams in. Alabama and Ole Miss won't be left out at 10-2. The SEC Champion will be in. Texas is going to get in. If it is A&M and Tennessee in the title game, you will get four SEC teams in the playoff. They won't leave out a 10-2 Texas. 
     
  • What if Ole Miss gets to the SEC title game and loses to Texas? They would be 10-3. Are they getting left out? What if Alabama gets into the title game and loses? This is not just a Texas A&M thing. Greg Sankey might have a fight on his hands. 
     
  • In my opinion, the SEC will never give up the SEC Championship game. It makes too much money. If you give both participants automatic bids to the playoff, the Big Ten would want the same thing. There could come a world where a four-loss team is in the playoff because they were a three-loss team and lost in the title game

If the SEC stays with a 8-game conference schedule, then I hope moving forward Texas plays 2 P4 teams OOC.

With the BIG likely making more team revenue I can't see the SEC staying at 8 conference games. I see them going to renegotiate with ESPN and the selling point will be adding the 9th conference game to the inventory. Especially with the revenue sharing being a percentage...SEC will want more for that.

Lulz at him fretting over Auburn and trying to build them up. They’re dogshit. 😂

Also, LSU is not good. At all.

And Texas lost to Georgia by 2 TDs but to hear him describe it, we lost by 100.

Replace Auburn with Arkansas and then pay attention to the Longhorn nation this week. You’ll be “Lulz”ing til you pass out.

We can all quote disappointing and embarrassing losses from the last 25 years of UT football. It's a menial and pointless exercise, and you guys should have better shit to do. Good grief.

20-3 over the last two seasons, and this is what these fucking retards talk about.
