We don’t have an explosive offense. We have a potato turtle offense

Looks like the model was wrong. Should have had OSU by 50.

I saw another one of those in the tech game today. Maybe big 12 refs are coached to call it after 2015.

Tell Me About Texas a&m
“Four of his 15 non scoring drives came against us.” So did 7 of his scoring drives dumbass...right at the top too.

Because it has happened in all but 2 games with one of those being a loss to Maryland.

Not a chance. Jimbo isn’t Nick Saban.

S&P+ rankings: Overperformance or overcorrection?
It shouldn’t be. We look beatable most weeks. 7 games in and I’m still not really sure what to think about this team. It can play really well then look like dog shit within minutes.

Would you consider Florida State to aggy a lateral move? I wouldn’t...it was all about the cash.

So clearly we have the most impressive win, but aggy has the advantage with 2 really impressive losses

You’re right...barely. That’s a .3% return. Or with 100 $11 bets, $13 profit.

10/21 AP Top 25 Poll... Texas is #6
Need more quality loses

S&P+ rankings: Overperformance or overcorrection?
And 53% for the season last year...so didn’t even cover the vig. I’m not saying it’s completely worthless, but it’s flawed and the Texas/OU comparison exposes its flaws.

2018 College Football Playoff Rankings
And we would have kept scoring on them if we had more time. We could have converted that 4th down if there was time and a need to do so. It’s not like they were slowing us down that drive. I’ve been told yes, but it was a long time ago.

They’re really proud of those 100k fans....every damn article.

Technically they played a better Kyler. Just not for 4 quarters...and the stats still don’t back up the narrative.

New Orleans Food and Drink Thread
Got back yesterday from 4 nights. I didn’t take many pictures and the ones I did suck. Breakfast: Horns - can’t remember what I ate but I don’t think it was on the menu online. The Bloody Mary was great, so maybe that’s why New Orleans Cake Cafe - Boudin and eggs was awesome. I’d definitely go back for that. Ruby Slipper - had the Benedict trio. The cochon was the best with the etouffee one a close second. Way too much food, but seemed like a good way to start the day. Lunch: Ate at the Blues & BBQ festival one day. All local vendors and shared a few things with friends. Nothing was really great, but it was a fun atmosphere Dat Dog - shared a hot dog with the wife that was pretty great. Just fancy, overpriced hot dogs Dinner: Dragos - oysters were good but everything else was by far the worst my group had on the trip. It was a neat experience, but we had better oysters elsewhere Luke - after watching the Texas game at a brewery, I’m sure the food may not have been as great as I remember now. Had shrimp and grits and some great cocktails Saba - easily the best restaurant we went to on the trip. With cocktails and shared plates, it ended up being around $80 / pp, but I’ll definitely go back. The highlights were the blue crab hummus / pita, lutenista, octopus and falafel. The roasted chicken we shared was really good, but not worth the price at all. I’d probably try one of the other options next time. Cochon Butcher - had boudin and shared the Monday night special (fried pork chops and red beans and rice) + gyro with the wife. All 3 were great and it was an easy, quick dinner (counter service).

In case you forgot how amazing 2005 was...
I wonder if aggy treated that like the Clemson / Bama covers this year

S&P+ rankings: Overperformance or overcorrection?
@Huckleberry so aggy is the best 2 loss team in the nation and should be ranked right below us?

Take the Loss Pussy!
My bad...not going to pretend I knew that, but beer and recent memories of sooner tears got me excited last night. 2x in one year with the latter being a championship?

Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
Vote delete thread. I’ve been critical of Herman’s coachisms and on field results, but I’ve come around. I believe Herman is instilling what we’ve desired for decades - a hard nosed, never quit, not entitled football team. His coachisms now seem real. I believe him when he says they will take it one game at a time. I believe him when he says they are family and play for each other. He was exactly right that the LJH screen was the play of the game. Our floor is 9 games this year and we have the upside to be competing for the championship. In year 2...the year well documented here as being the proof that a coach is capable. We may slip up and lose a game we shouldn’t (or should), but I’m no longer selling Herman. He’s our guy. We’re going to be ok. Fuck the haters.
