UNLV starting QB: fuck this shit, I'm outta here (check bounced)
Doesn’t affect interstate commerce in any meaningful way, we don’t need the feds dictating what kind of contracts people can sign simply because they’re athletes, and it sure as fuck isn’t screaming for intervention. Maybe the feds can go after states without an income tax, too, if they think that affects where people decide to work. The feds need to go after shoe contracts, Allstate commercials, or whatever other advertising athletes get paid for or are they just going to stick to college?

FINAL 2024 CFB polls/rankings - Texas #3/ #4 /#3 (CFP/AP/Coaches)
Maybe, maybe not. It’s not a foregone conclusion that the loser of the SEC championship game is seeded higher than the SEC third place team. It would be kind of silly, really, to seed the third place team higher absent odd circumstances.

Yeah. I think Texas is going to be looking at a 5-7 seed if it comes down to conference winning percentage.

Feels like you want everyone on your schedule to beat everyone not on your schedule, in this hypothetical.

The way it appears to me with a cursory look: A. Won’t apply. B. Won’t break tie. C. Won’t break tie. D. This may sort out who plays and who doesn’t.

True. It definitely could go either way.

Possibly.

Cumulative conference winning percentage of opponents might be the first criterion that weeds out teams. Which probably doesn’t help Texas.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Agreed. Given how fundamental they are to what Sarkisian wants to do, improvement there seems pretty important. I’m pretty confident it will get sorted.

Arch Manning: Scores every way possible
Again. As well as he’s done for his first real action, he’s missed a couple of throws that were easier than some of the ones he’s hit. Really looking forward to seeing him once everything has slowed down for him. He seems good at football.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
According to Sarkisian, that was exactly the plan. He wasn’t scared they were going to drive the field for points four yards at a time. He didn’t want to be RPO’ed with quick throws. He wanted passes to be drop backs. Take away the TD on which there was holding and they scored six. None in the second half. It was frustrating to watch, as was some of the tackling, but they made Mississippi State do exactly what they wanted them to do.

The run defense was frustrating to watch, even given the circumstances. “Epic fail” is more fitting for a drunken rant in a game thread, though Sacks come out of rushing yards, so that skews the picture a little.

I feel like the success rate of “Book it” posts is probably somewhere lower than 10%. On the upside, “book it” is shorter than “I’m an idiot throwing out a hot take I wish would happen but that everyone will forget when it doesn’t.”

It would be annoying hearing the yapping heads yap about it, but I wouldn’t be especially heartbroken for Texas to drop. As a practical matter, it’s irrelevant. As a philosophical matter, despite the clear buy-in on culture, humans are humans and a little dose of “maybe you’re going to need to double down on the focus — and do better against the run” heading into a bye week and OU wouldn’t be the worse thing ever.

SEC Refs Suck
Especially after the ticky tack stuff that had been called the other way. Be strict, or let them do whatever, but be consistent.

Week 5 2024, Mississippi State @ Texas
I’m sure you like the gif, but I’m good to go in the “Blue” part. I thought it was JAY-den not jay-DEN.

Hell, I’ve been saying Blue’s first name incorrectly, apparently.

I wonder if they game the seeding to try to avoid that. I mean, I get you need to may need to beat them anyway, but even the networks realize 15-0 Texas and 15-1 Alabama, e.g., is a better final than semi. Will be interesting.

Who knows how it evolves over time but, at the moment, the 5th seed looks like the loser of the SEC championship game or, perhaps, the SEC team that lost a tiebreaker and didn’t play in the game. Maybe the B1G instead of SEC, I suppose. What am I failing to consider other than a random banner year for the ACC or Notre Fucking Dame?

Tell me about ou
And, imo, Sarkisian has made it pretty clear that he knows the polls mean nothing and that having depth for the kind of run he thinks this team can make means everything. Combine that with awarding snaps to those who buy in and make the effort and you’re looking at a guy who feels no need to curb stomp for style and is content, and confident, in playing and creating depth with the dual benefits of preserving starters and keeping more people’s heads in the game, while adding one at a time to the win column.

I think both fan bases realize their team has been supplanted and it’s kind of a buzzkill for them.
