It’s looking like all it took was NIL, 3 years, texas and oklahoma leaving for the little 12 to FINALLY “run through lubbock”

Am I the only one that thinks Texas would beat both these teams

They won’t play competent championship level defense under lane anyway so they don’t need clark

JMU RB Wayne Knight was unreal last night too.

Tech/BYU/Tulane/James Madison are all in the same boat imo. Good record, easy schedule to accomplish it while running scores up on lesser comp to say “margin of victory was….” Whatever

Good thread.

The Mid 12 is just boring to watch

They also had an insanely easy schedule…. Only good win for them was against BYU (twice it seems) but again BYU didn’t play anyone either.

I guess that's true but how this any different than how Texas approaches the game? Our schedule was much tougher so that's why the record is different but Tech is in the playoff and we are not.

obviously hasn’t watched our oline block.

This is silly. What are you going to do?

But Texas should have beaten Florida… or ohio state, or Georgia. don’t lose 3 games and none of us would be talking about this.

And could BYU even beat Miss State?

The more we spend time discussing meaningless bowl games before the playoff field is even set, the more we inadvertently legitimize this committee’s abhorrent decisions that undermine the sport of football. Bowl games belong to a different era; their relevance has faded. It would be unwise to invest energy—or risk injury to any of our key players—for something so trivial.

At least Texas Tech puts the money up behind it talk. Put up or shutup.

I think we would beat Tech by 17

He sure fell into a favorable situation that most coaches would kill for. It will be interesting to see if his success holds up in a revenue sharing environment.

Morton is wholly inaccurate against any sort of pass rush thus far.

Tech and/or BYU will be tragic in the playoffs

@Sarah Othanks for posting. 🤘

Don't lay down to this lazy committee narrative of "shoulda beat florida". I think that Texas is forever ruined unless the citizens make a manly, energetic effort to save themselves from that anarchy and confusion which are the worst of all evils - William B Travis

Joey McGuire is a mid football coach of a mid football program who was given a blank check to purchase success. It’s really that simple. Everyone outside of Lubbock knows this to be true.

Is it time to fire the NCAA completely? The NCAA has been driving the bus from the back seat most of its existance and doesn't really provide any direction, enforcement or purpose. Is it time for the schools to decide via their own conference by laws how they want to participate. Certainly the ADs can figure out where their school fits in. If I'm in a conference that wants to spend money, travel cross country and play in fromt of TVs then these are the rules we agree too play by. Schools can self police the conference and, by contract, punish and expel those who don't want to comply with the agreed to conference rules. Smaller schools may decide to have a different emphasis and set an agenda to play regional games with other less funded (or sports driven) schools. The goal maybe to provide entertainment and some level of on campus interest to their school without going bankrupt. Number of scholarships, salary caps, number of games played, recruiting rules can all be set by conference contract. Hey, I'm East Compass Point University and I want to challenge you Goliath-let's set up a game in April! Why not? Most of the structure currently in place wouldn't really change without the NCAA. The difference is the schools and conferences would determine their own rules and champions- maybe they challenge either other in the end too! But, the schools would be able to determine their own paths without paying for non-existant services.

Don’t accept defeat before the final decision is made. Saying “it’s over” or “should’ve beaten Florida” misses the point. If you carry that mindset into your work or home life, shake it off. Things can change—if you don’t give up.

I guess some things never change.
