My biggest worry re:MSU is their shitbag of a HC encouraging their players to cheap shot/injury Texas players. 
 

Framed as “make sure they feel a real welcome to the SEC” type deal but I see MSU doing the shit UTSA did but on steroids. .

    “Might be our easiest conference win” is what it will be. This is the worst team in the conference by a wide margin. They just lost at home by double digits to the second worst team. Only UH is as bad

  • This will either be my last game with only one child or my first game with a 2nd child. Either way, I will be sober and tired.

They did a bunch of grabbing/twisting players and then just got in Sark’s face etc. 

where in Brazil? I lived in the south. Great country, great food, people etc.

Rewatched the Miss State Florida game and Jesus klan aggy is terrible. Pass defense is bad and rush defense is even worse. Quinn and Arch are both gonna absolutely light up their secondary and I expect Blue to have a minimum of 100 rush yards easily with maybe 3 or 4 TDs. Honestly might be our easiest conference win. 

 

“Might be our easiest conference win” is what it will be. This is the worst team in the conference by a wide margin. They just lost at home by double digits to the second worst team. Only UH is as bad a team in the Big 12 this year and those are probably the worst P4 teams. 

These guys are slow, undersized, undermanned via injury, and look poorly coached. Along with Ohio State, I think Texas is the fastest team in the country. This is a match-up made in heaven by the football gods for Texas when it comes to “welcome to the SEC” bullshit. Hey motherfuckers, Texas is not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with Texas.

there is nothing in the world so much like prayer as cowbell at a football game is.

For you youngsters out there cowbells were huge at Texas in the 60’s and 70’s.

The entire band had them as did many of the students.

It's amazing what Christopher Walken did to revitalize the cowbell industry. Big Cowbell owes him a huge debt of gratitude. 

Sigh..

Fuck all that “sit Quinn again” noise. He’s perfected this offense and a lot of that is based on rhythm.

Here’s hoping he’s in for 2 1/2 quarters just to get the feel of game speed before the Bye Week.

Let’s get Quinn the heisman!!

Miss State fans are pretty friendly, especially if you're a team they don't consider a rival. When I was starting my undergrad at Houston we played them for homecoming for some reason. With their fan base you can tell who's a student or part of the alumni and who's a local "townie." Half of the people visiting looked like they slept under a bridge, but were really friendly and polite. The only complaint I have about them is those fucking cowbells. Shit is annoying. 

Other than that, Horns by 50+

Mississippi State may be even worse than ULM with Shapen being out. 

Good ole Coleman Hutzler having a rough go in his first year as Mississippi State's DC.

Model snapshot:

Spread goes off the chart.  CBA to change it for this game.

I'm going to spoiler further commentary, but I'm fairly certain Texas is a bit overrated in the model.   The model does do a fantastic job of tampering the results against cupcakes, but in general there are not many reliable data points at this point in the season.  Especially for us right now.  I would point you to the "Confidence" rankings for both units. 

  Reveal hidden contents

"Confidence" is basically a measure of how good the model thinks it can predict your team going forward.   This being poor doesn't really mean the model thinks we are possibly bad on either side of the ball, but that we are somewhere between a top 10 unit and something to tell your grandkids that you were alive for.  The best way to improve this is playing teams around the same ability. For example, MSST offense has a decent confidence ranking.  It is the #86 offense and has played the #55, #71, #89 defenses, so basically it has been tested against competition that it compares well to.  (FWIW, the #1 ranking does take into account the confidence of the model.  So the model still thinks we are likely the #1 offense and defense even after considering it has low confidence in our data so far.)  Many top teams don't have good confidence rankings right now, it's just how non-conference competition works for teams near the top.  Our Strength of Record is still #1 right now.

This is kind of balanced out by the high "Consistency" rankings.  Which is a similar metric, but backward-looking.  Knowing what we know now, how accurately does the model predict the games already played? Pretty damn good for Texas.

Basically, the data points line up well for us, but how telling can playing Michigan plus 3 dogs actually be?

I get this. I'm coming to the game this week, mostly so my daughter can see her cousin, but also to see the game.

I was there the last time we played klan aggy, and we won that game, too.

Vanderbilt plays tough and Florida probably at that point has some faction of a chance to complete forward passes. Miss St is verym very bad. Probably worse than any b12 team right now. 

 

Florida has talent, supposedly, and would actually be decent if they could just pull the trigger on Ol Yeller there.

While at MSU, well-known pederass and pos Jackie Sherrill had a bull castrated in front of the team prior to the Texas game.

 

And at least two MSU DBs ended up taking themselves out of the game by trying to head-spear Ricky.

TI did not make the shitty TRS-80. How dare you. That was a Radio Shack product. TI made the TI 99/4A, which was a badass computer for its time, with the world's first speech recognition software and 3D first-person adventure game. Unfortunately its storage was relegated to a series of insertable memory expanders that was the size of a small file cabinet and weighed 50 pounds. Still I wasted many many many hours of my youth playing Parsec and Tunnels of Doom on that glorious TI 99/4A. 

I also created a pong knockoff for the TRS80 for a science fair but no one recognized my genius. RIP to the computer science nerds of 80s middle school.

In retrospect, it could have been so much more if not for TI doing everything possible to sink it.

1. Even though it had a 16-bit CPU, they were terrified it would cannibalize minicomputer sales, so they gave it a really shitty bus

2. Were actively hostile to 3rd party development, even to the point of using an intermediary bytecode generated by the BASIC interpreter that then had to be re-interpreted by a secret hardware chip into machine code, to prevent reverse-engineering; refusing to allow developers to use Assembly until it was way too late, etc.

So many things it Might Have Been if not for bad management, kinda like Texas football in the decade before Sark showed up.

Too bad you couldn’t use the TI 99/4A to clear up acne, eh nerd?

Another experience building game for Arch.  Very positive news about Ewers, but I’d trust the coaches to judge he is 100% ready, re the injury, before playing.
