A virgin sheep.

When we were down, both in 1984-97 and 2010-2022, members of the media in general practically openly rooted for us to be relevant again. Nonetheless, some media people enjoy feeling like they're puncturing the balloon more than others, Kirk Bohls style. My perception is that when it comes to Texas, Josh Pate is one of those. I think this is the correct take. Sark has reversed the results of Texas football from the last decade but many media members are still entrenched in their positions. For years Texas was the lazy or hot take pick to win from idiots like Cowherd. So the self proclaimed college football experts took the opposite and correct stance that Texas is overrated and will underperform however now the former hot takes about Texas are simply the reality. But the position that Texas sucks is the sign of someone who knows ball and thus those CFB experts continue to hold increasingly absurd takes about Texas. You see the inverse of this with OU now. 5 years ago saying that OU is a mediocre program that isn’t even in the same class as Texas is a delusional hot take that only and idiot would make but that’s the reality of the situation now.

He seems to be right/wrong about as much as the next media schlub, which is to say about 50/50. No, it's him, personally. He's so full of himself, so arrogant. Perhaps YouTube success has gone to his head. I just watched a part of his Ohio State-Texas prediction show and he just really rubs me the wrong way. I won't be watching his shit anymore. I know, I know ... "Dear Facebook" and all that. I just had to get it off my chest. I feel better. Thank you. facebook?

The best national shows are ones that cover the entire sport, and have either a great sense of humor or a legitimate curiosity in the weird corners of the sport, or both.

There are many worse media personalities in the college football community. Herbstreit is mildly entertaining on Ari and Andy’s podcast. He curses. He gives opinions he would never utter on the Mouse. He’s himself. That said, he used their podcast to spin the Ryan Day death threats and armed guards are taking Day’s kids to school fairy tale after the Michigan loss last year.

He could see either team winning. I had AI sum the video. Go ahead.. take a look. Spoiler Josh Pate, a College Football Insider, discusses various major storylines heading into the 2025 college football season (0:03). Here's a breakdown of the key topics: Ohio State vs. Texas Week 1 Matchup (0:36-2:57): Pate previews the highly anticipated Week 1 game, suggesting Ohio State will be a slight favorite. He emphasizes the unpredictability of the game due to the blend of high talent and uncertainty, particularly with new starting quarterbacks. He notes that the game could be either a close classic or a blowout for either team, with turnovers playing a significant role. Arch Manning's First Season as Starter (3:10-6:20): Pate advises against unrealistic expectations for Arch Manning, stressing that consistent "B+ football" will be sufficient for Texas to contend for a national title given their strong supporting cast. He also points out the challenge of Manning playing most of his significant games away from home this season. Coaching Hot Seats: Sarkisian and Day (6:24-9:00): Pate discusses how public perception of Steve Sarkisian and Ryan Day can be heavily influenced by single game outcomes, even if he personally views them as excellent coaches. He highlights a potential "big game coach problem" narrative for Sarkisian if Texas loses to Ohio State, and emphasizes Texas's significant advantage in the depth of their proven coaching staff. Oklahoma as a Playoff Team (9:01-10:46): Pate considers Oklahoma a "sneaky playoff team" and a top 10-12 caliber team, despite their tough schedule. He believes their quality should be assessed independently of their schedule difficulty. Texas Tech's Portal Spending (10:49-12:21): Pate describes Texas Tech's extensive use of the transfer portal as a "crazy experiment," suggesting it will be a disappointment if they don't reach the Big 12 title game. He draws parallels to Colorado under Deion Sanders in terms of their unconventional team building. SMU's Future Prospects (12:53-14:50): Pate discusses SMU's self-awareness in leveraging unique strategies, such as paying their way into P4 affiliation. He questions their long-term "staying power" and emphasizes the importance of their performance in the ACC championship picture this year to validate their approach. Bill Belichick at North Carolina (14:54-17:39): Pate expresses skepticism about Bill Belichick's potential to elevate the North Carolina program, especially if the expectation is to compete for playoff spots. He highlights the challenges of adapting to college football's significant differences from the NFL at his age, particularly in recruiting and navigating the sport's unique landscape Riveting stuff.

August 27Aug 27 With no game film, all these guys suck and their takes are just chatter. I’ve been watching CFB long enough that I don’t need to be spoon fed. Give me some in season film analysis and player improvement trends etc, if even that. I’ve gotten to the point where I skip the pregame, national anthem and just fire up at the kick off and wait for the touchdown play. Old man Hellas at cloud.
August 27Aug 27 It really is amazing that when it comes to announcers, commentators, and personalities, every fanbase feels they have to be constantly fellated. It's not just us, read other boards around the country, talk to people at bars or work or wherever, if said personality says anything outside of all positive, they are deemed a dumbass. People look at themselves as tough and reasonable, yet they cannot take an ounce of criticism without holding a grudge. Most can't take someone having a different opinion when picking games. It instantly triggers them, we see it every week. It's fucking nuts. Just fellate us you dumbass.

It’s amazing that some dumbshit posters think because they have a below average IQ they are surrounded by people dumber than they are and have never heard the same platitudes, cliches, and tropes brought out before, because they didn’t repeat it. I keep hearing about the Arch Manning hype at Texas, when in reality most people here seem reasonable and are expecting AM to go out there and give us some added dimension with his legs, but make some mistakes due to inexperience. I never see the media reporting that they are the ones creating the hype circus, however we do get the silver lining of having Manning and the Horns on the cover of a Houston Chronicle sports section meanwhile aggy is in fine print barely noticeable.
October 1Oct 1 How does this guy actually have a platform? His Texas/Florida take is like talking to a drunk OU fan about football. Apparently he thinks offense lives in a vacuum and special teams doesn't exist at all. Not mad he throws his chips down on Florida, but he talks out of his ass for 9 minutes and just guesses. How do I get a job like that?
