re: Muschamp to Texas

Posted by wertheimer on 12/18/25 at 3:37 pm to
This is strange. I thought Kwiatkowski was doing a pretty good job, and that Texas’ defense was the strength of their team this season. Granted, Muschamp is a very good defensive coach, but Kwiatkowski being ‘fired’ does not seem reasonable. Perhaps there was mutual interest to go different ways?
Milroe justifiably gets a lot of flack for that game, and he did not play particularly well. But imo Alabama’s center McClaughlin cost them that game in a way. He had numerous bad snaps, including a drive-killing snap either over Milroe’s head or low at his feet that resulted in a 15-20 yard loss that killed a possible scoring drive. This was Alabama’s first drive of 2nd half iirc, and they had the ball just in plus territory, and the offense was moving well. If that horrible snap doesn’t happen and they go down and score there, they probably win the game. A lot of things went wrong for them to blow it.
Classic game. I will never forget that Callaway td on 4th down — it was a real stunner. You almost had to feel bad for UT in that one.
Columbia seems pretty terrible even by Ivy League standards. They will be lucky to score. I guess Harvard has a decent team in the FCS
Lmao, no. Millionaires in NYC are not going to pick up and move to Louisiana b/c their taxes might go up 1-2%. You people are truly delusional.
Brutal loss for the Blue Jays.
They deserve to be chewed out tbh. They also look like they do not give a shite.
This thread is actually pretty damn funny. I enjoy this sort of back and forth bickering.

On a note germane to the conversation here, they do grant car notes to basically anyone now. It’s really not that far out of the galaxy to think that a Wendy’s employee could purchase a mid grade vehicle, or perhaps even a somewhat expensive one - especially if it is a full time employee. It’s probably like the housing bubble in ‘08 but much smaller in scale and less significant, so it won’t wreck the world economy if/when defaults sky rocket, and asset values crater.

Regardless of how Saban retained players, he developed them as well as anybody. People act like other teams didn’t also have a high proportion of blue chips — a lot of the top teams did. Saban just had a system where he got the most out his guys.
Have you read any of this one? Sounds like it has gotten lukewarm reviews — or that people were expecting something more grandiose or ‘of the current time’. Not sure why people thought that though, I guess b/c it is likely his last novel.

I still have Gravity’s Rainbow laying around somewhere. Need to finish it.
Damn, RIP. He was a good RB. Seems like he went a bit mad — very sad.

The new two minute timeout stoppage is a complete momentum killer with it being almost a 4 minute timeout. It feels so incredibly long.


The introduction of a 2 minute warning was so unnecessary at the collegiate level. Also, it always serves to help out a team who is down a possession late in the game. I never understood having a rule that is structurally advantageous for one team over another in a common game scenario. I dislike it for the same reasons at the NFL level but it’s even more ludicrous in college b/c they unilaterally decided to add a stoppage of the clock to show insurance commercials.
Dude the pic of Gaulden flipping the bird to the crowd never gets old. When was that game, 2017? Or was it ‘15?

Hate to see Deatrich Wise go down like that, especially on a damn PAT. That sucks — very unlucky injury for him/the team. He’s a good player.
Yeah sad to hear about MvDP. He was having a good tour.

Very exciting finish today on Ventoux. Thought Healey had another stage win but I think he went a tad early and the Frenchman caught him in the last 50 meters. Very fun race.
The start did not look good for Djoker. He looks like he does not really have the belief that he can win this match. It’s still early, and he’s started slow in some other matches this tournament, but not against guys with the quality of Sinner. If this keeps up this could be over in short order.
That Alcaraz return at 6-4 Fritz in the tiebreak was pretty unreal and kept him in the point. That was a good 1st serve from Fritz and Carlos put it back in play.

Then that last backhand from Carlos on/near the line. Fritz did not play bad at all but certain players, and Alcaraz is in that camp, they just have a level that is very hard to match.
Poor Grigor. That did not look good.

I cannot believe it, he can’t go on — it’s a retirement. Up 2 sets and playing excellent tennis today, this is a DAMN shame.
Not a great showing from Coco. In best of 3, there’s just not a lot of time to find your game. And this Ukrainian chick was really smashing the ball, she played a hell of a match.

It’s a shame, Coco’s outfit was very nice and deserving of a deeper run in the tourney lol.
I am going to try and catch the 5th set of this one tomorrow.
