Colt doesn't get injures they aren't scratching and stumbling to shit. 
We flat win that game.

How did Alabama do in their last championship game playing a true freshman qb because their 20-2 starter was on the bench?

Just sayin.

Some of that was because we got fuckstomped in the first quarter of the game that eliminated us from conference championship contention almost every single year. The other games were close, but often irrelevant.

And some of it was because we had deeper rosters than a lot of the lesser teams we played.

That's all fine, but the point remains that Mack's teams were not characterized by losing games in the 4th quarter because the team ran out of gas.

You'd be giddy with the demise.  Condolences for your week of misery after Texas beats this team that is also currently flailing in mediocrity.  To stay occupied in grief and angst, you should just go ahead and start a thread about how the next coaching staff, whoever they might be, should already be terminated.  And when the coaching staff after that staff first ends up in a 3rd and 13 you should get ahead of it and demand that staff should already be terminated too.  Today.  When you get raped behind a truck stop in East Texas you should start a thread about how the guy who raped you has the grit to be the next head coach.     

[PilotsError 2286]

Rape?  WTF.

You sound like a guy who says "bruh."  That's fine.  I'm ambivalent about it.

They did well. I’m guessing their freshman QB played a lot more snaps in the season than Gilbert did that year. And their freshman didn’t suck like GG.

Mack’s teams were characterized by getting blasted by OU repeatedly and by mostly winning games that were irrelevant.

Mack's teams would have destroyed Tulsa

[bschoolprof 6252]

I have a feeling we'll actually play well tonight.  Herman's teams always seemed to play up to their level of competition at UH.  Or, we may play shitty.

I do too. BUT, if we come out flat...

[Tim Beck 20]

Wow I guess I figured Herman would say different things to the team vs the media but nope. LHN Gameday showed a clip of his Tulsa post game speech to the team, “Winning is really really difficult and momentum is an illusion.” Pregame speech they showed he said fun about 8 times within 30 seconds

Now we win so little that literally every game is relevant. Progress.

I’m starting to think thIs Tom Herman guy might be a fraud.

I wonder what this place will look like when Kansas beats us on T +1 this year.

If this season goes the way it's looking so far, probably a slow roll from apathy to measured excitement that comes with a HC change.

Mensa Question 

Tabatha likes cookies but not cake. She likes mutton but not lamb, and she likes okra but not squash. Following the same rule, will she like cherries or pears?

Tom Herman:

Momentum is an illusion. What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter? 36.

[tejas60 3532]

I liked Tabatha's cherry.

At our watch party, the room has 3 adult males, 2 lesbians, 8 kids under the age of 14, and my mom.  Every single one of us yelled, "Run up the middle!" on that last run up the middle.

[George 491]

Another delay of game penalty coming out of a timeout. Fire yourself Tom 

[pearlandhorn 3269]

3 offensive penalties to start 3 drives. Completely unprepared team. That falls on the head coach. Fuck Herman. Fire his fucking ass.
