When we lose, they talk about how we just aren't as good. When we win, it's because the other guys didn't play well.
Tiring. But not entirely wrong. It's hard to win when you are always out shot. But cool to see effort win!

Haven't lived in Tx for many year until recently. Like since Dudleys survival kit was a solid lunch, LaSalle Hotel was boarded up, Tom's was open and Nortenos was a standing Sunday. Never saw a loss to Texas in football. G Rollie was where you read the newspaper during the game. So it's been a while. Taking my son to see the boys BTHO UT tomorrow.
Late lunch suggestions anyone? Cocktails don't matter, as we have a 2 hour drive after and "one for the ditch" is long in the rear view mirror.

It'll be tough to win against elite teams by sleeping through the first half. I like the "gut check" personality, but it doesn't allow much margin.

It has been a fun/strange team to watch. My son's U12 team is better from the line Literally. They are obviously still 12 on the glass, but they make their freebies.
We win too many nail biters, and the difference is really that we suck at FT's. It seems like such an easy thing to fix. Stand on the stripe, and dial it in!
I also didn't follow what happened there at the end, but was admittedly distracted with something else. I saw an off ball foul called that because of bonus sent MO to the line for two. They make one, then the ref reviews, says no foul, and they take a second. Huh? I'm sure I missed something. What was that?

The odds of shooting that badly and killing it at the rack to win just aren't good against elite teams. We got away with it last night and at OU. Eventually we have to improve from the field.
The absence of fouls (both ways) was odd. Like the NBA of the 90s. I made a joke toward the end that we might have to commit a felony to get an intentional foul call! I love it when the refs let it be a contact sport again.

re: 2025 Transfer Portal Thread
Posted by socal91 on 12/10/24 at 10:55 pm
The whole thing is nuts. I'm not sure how much interest I have if it's just one big pickup game.
I get letting kids transfer on a coaching change. But there again, that should be the exception not the norm.
Why in the world would you take a HS kid as an OL prospect? It takes a year or two of training to get them physically ready, and then by year two they want to leave for time, or money because another team needs someone. I'm almost on the Lane Train of just buy mercenaries.
Real, actual, enforceable contracts have to happen.

Tackling sucked but at what point does somebody tell the DE to play down the line and stop overpenetrating the play? The OT just kept pumping quarters into the pony out front of Walmart for another ride past the play. And not just any play but the same exact play! Were the guys in the booth just watching Friends reruns and didn't notice?

Which is a significant improvement relative to others. We buy "polite" a beer and hope for a good game with no injuries and no bad calls that decide anything.

Next thing you know, McDonalds will buy Franklins and Blacks. And Bucees just to add insult.
re: What final record would you consider acceptable?
Posted by socal91 on 8/21/24 at 11:38 pm
8-4 means you only made the short putts, and didn't play up even once. I would expect 9-3.
The portal and instant transfers have devalued the idea that it takes a few years to get "your system" installed with "your guys." The game now is about getting the guys who showed up this year in the best position to win using a system that can be loaded quickly.
Next year, a pile of "your guys" will be on someone else's payroll, be it NIL or pro, You'll have new ones, and the world is new again. Even if you recruit a stud 5* multi generational aggie lover, it makes zero sense for him to ride the pine and wait his turn. And less to stay in school once he gets hyped after a couple of years. OL as a possible exception.
SHOW ME THE MONEY.
CFB is in sore need of contracts. I like the Mike Leach recommendation.

A good oline can make a mediocre skill team look realy good. A crappy online makes an excellent skill team look worse than crappy. Again. Does Adazzio have incriminating photos?? Even independent of him, a big knock on Fisher at FSU was sorry oline play,so it really just looks like more of the same.

Who wasn't? If we lose 2 qbs for the second year in a row even my atheist azz will consider us being punished by god.

Well, Kansas was ranked over our azzez.
No idea. But since when did money matter? :)
Just watched Pittman's post game. Dead man walking, just not the right guy as a HC, and it's obvious. No shame in it, I'm not the right guy for CFO, but do well as COO.
That said, if he gets canned this week I hope we hire him for OL coach.

Am I the only Lions fan?
Posted by socal91 on 9/29/23 at 11:01 pm
I absolutely love the play. the attitude, the whole deal that the Lions are bringing. That Dan Campbell and Aaron Glen are bringing it makes me one happy MF. My GreenBay family is not with me this week.
