  • I admire the talent that's been built up in Austin, but I honestly think ASU has got you beat. Unless you're talking about football players.  Then Texas comes out on top.

  • If y'all want to make this an OnlyFans girl battle instead of a football game, ASU is going to kick your fucking ass.

  • They allowed Josh Heupel at Ohio State's stadium. I don't see the distinction.

Welp.  Time for the defense to absolutely destroy them.  

*other than Texas Tech, Cincinnati, and Kansas State.

Personally, Cam Skattebo kind of reminds me of Toby Gerhart because I’m racist.

More like Sam McGuffie but slower

ASU QB Sam Leavitt said, “I’m gonna prove why I’m the better quarterback” than Quinn Ewers. Here’s Ewers’ response to Leavitt’s comments.

 

"Fine.  Whatever.  Booty."

Seems like our only hope of containing Skattebo is to get the Texas State defense to suit up in Longhorn uniforms.

But will he do the fandango?  

He's thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening.

Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We've got the groove
Ain't no stoppin' us now
We're on the move

Maybe if they keep talking we'll get to see Manning throwing fourth quarter TDs.

I'm reminded of Quinnen Williams remembering what Saban told him and had to reboot.

 

Saban told him to not talk shit about Calamari?  Can’t blame him, it’s a great appetizer. 

This is the kind of game where I wish we still had Byron Murphy

Sweat. Felt like he could take 2 OL and 2 Gaps on every play at times. Just freed up everyone else

Yeah but they keyed on Skattebo and J Smith really went off. Just look at that ypc.

3rd quarter.

Didn't the ASU qb talk shit the last time we played them?

The Big 12 keeps delivering body-blow-after-body-blow to our beleaguered Longhorns:

I watched this withering attack from a very successful The Big 12 LIVE Show 6 which has already accumulated 29 views on YouTube. I'll summarize it for you why Arizona State will win:

  • Arizona State wins 'cause they came from nowhere to conquer the Big 12
  • The Big 12 is disrespected and the point spread is wrong
  • The Big 12 beat up on the ACC  
  • Vegas is WRONG on a lot of games
  • ASU is really loose
  • BALL CONTROL can win it for them
  • ASU has a great ground game
  • They are a top team in possession time
  • Iowas State, Kansas State and BYU all WON their bowl games AND ARIZONA STATE BEAT ALL OF THEM!!!!!
  • They have nothing to lose while Texas has all the pressure on them
  • Cam Skattebo is a really, really good runner 
  • Cam Skatebo is also A REALLY REALLY GREAT RECEIVER 
  • The next leading receiver, Xavier Guillory, who has 19 tough catches, MADE AN AMAZING CATCH AGAINST IOWA STATE
  • Arizona State has many players returning next seasons so they will be even more potent AFTER the game! 
  • The city is rallying around this team and gave them a HUGE send-off on Sunday
  • The players carried the Big 12 championship trophy through a high school playoff game and got a huge applause 
  • Their team is a lot of fun
  • Jake Smith is excited that this is his final curtain 

 

 

I just keep coming back to the fact that if a team is this one-dimensional on offense and doesn’t have a great defense or ST, a good defense will be able to take their strength away and score enough to keep this a comfortable win. This isn’t the 70’s or 80’s where you can just hand it off to Earl Campbell or Herschel Walker 35-40 times and ride him to victory.  If we focus on stopping Skattebo, I just don’t see how they score much. After watching us run on Clemson, and getting Bond back, I do feel confident that we are going to score 30+ on them and I can’t see them matching that. 
 

The game lines up a lot like the Big 12 title last year where all OSU had going for them was Ollie Gordon and once we bottled him up, the rout was on.

How about Tony Brackens to knock some fool unconscious?

Yes, like he did Mackovic

You know the old saying: you can't spell schadenfreude without some of the letters in Skattebo

So yeah, this should be fun.

I'd also like to preemptively try out some in-game nicknames for Cam "no one can stop me except for many of the much worse defenses than Texas that I've faced" Skattebo:

Skatteboo-hoo

Skattebonehead

Skattered-bones

Shutupbitch

etc.

Will Brett Yormark be there? It would be great to crush his dreams again.

I just looked up their schedule. Arizona State lost to a couple of real shit teams this year.

If we lose to them, we are a shit team. 

If we show up and play like it matters/we should, this isn't even a contest.

Yes, but I forgot to mention this final key point in the podcast. ARIZONA STATE HAS GOTTEN BETTER AS THE SEASON HAS GONE ON.

Enough of the fucking chatter. LFG!

Their loss to Cincy was bad, but Leavitt was hurt and Jeff Sims is one of the worst backups in P5 football. 

They outgained Tech but got down 14-0 early and went 0-3 on 4th down and couldn't claw all the way back.

So they are at least four points better than Texas State. Copy that.

They were 1-0 against the SEC this season.... In case you stupid sips forgot teams that were 1-0 against the SEC in the regular season also won their bowl games vs the SEC #undefeated #doomed

If you take away the games they lost, they’re undefeated.

Five Tropicalia IPAs, three shots, $20 tab. Atlanta, we're gonna get along again just fine  Shots were comped because a few bars still exist in this world where you can show up as a stranger, bullshit with the bartender and get free booze.

They aren't one-dimensional. They have a duel-threat QB in addition to Skattebo which is an x-factor. They are well coached. As long as the DL plays sound gap assignments, press the pocket and the edges contain, both rushing threats are solved with our LB's cleaning up. But their QB is definitely a threat. He is slippery, has speed and frequently makes yards with his feet or escapes the pocket to extend plays and finds open receivers when a play or protection breaks down.

I expect they will use Skattebo as a decoy as much as they go to him. Probably lots of QB designed runs, draw plays, screens and leak off wheel routes to the RB's. We need to play assignment sound, disciplined football instead of getting baited into mad rushes resulting in open gaps and vacated second levels, which is exactly what they want to turn the physical advantages of our DL against us. PK has shown he can scheme for these kind of threats before with Milroe being an example. Our LB's need to play smart and not get sucked in and vacate their areas of responsibility.

They're a good football team that isn't as deep or talented as we are, but their QB is really their most valuable player IMO.

It ain’t the best place in the world, but it’s definitely not the worst. Bartenders here are pretty chill and pour heavy if you prove to be the same…

You’re the first person to ask. Nobody cares. 

Line opens at Texas -13.5, O/U 50.5. 
I expect lots of pics of ASU coeds.


I, for one, am very disappoint in this thread thus far..,

They all do.

One-armed, one-legged Cam Rising hobbled around for three quarters and almost beat these fuckwits in Tempe.  I really like our chances.  Mudhole.
