Cant wait to see how it plays out! Y’all definitely have the #1 WR/TE rooms. Here’s to hoping we find a WR that could be called a threat to your DBs

Georgia lost in the first round because we beat the absolute snot out of them and they had nothing left in the tank after the SEC champ game.

If you win the conference championship you're guaranteed to be in the playoffs. If you don't you are at the mercy of the committee. Sure, go 10-2 or something like that in the Big 10 or SEC, with at least a couple quality wins, and you are most likely in. But if you are borderline?

Hand up, right here!

You can throw in aggie softball from this past athletic season too, after all, they run ruled Texas in the SEC conference tournament. Did they print cups?

Have to create the perception that it's a "punishment". If they go celebrating like "haha we got away with it" then . . . well doesn't really affect anything really.

And Finley

For NIL? No way

Ricky wore in for 3 years

Saying all the right things. Anyone else ready for Ohio St?!?

“That organization can be self-sustaining—and generate additional funding to protect Olympic and women’s sports—by pooling all Division I media rights to be sold together as one package, rather than separating them by conference and championship, as they are now.” Of course he wants a piece of the SEC/B1G media pie. Tech will never be valuable on its own.

Absolutely. Not only are they experienced and have played in big moments, the reporting out of spring and fall camps is that they have all taken the next steps in their games as well. Ohio State should have the better DT’s in this matchup. Texas will have the better edges and most likely better linebackers, although Ohio State’s linebackers are going to be nasty as well.

Reworked is fine, but these kids are legit players with a ton of experience, if not starts. Every one of this years "starters" on the DL played meaningful snaps in last years Cotton Bowl. Kenyatta Jacksoon DE played almost the entire 1st half after JTT went down early and another KMac DT was in the game on the 4th qtr stand at the goal line. They performed very well then, on the biggest of stages at crunch time and I have no problems putting these kids on the field against anybody anywhere

I am an expert on human behavior, although I try not to brag about it. So I notice things that others never will. Such as, I don't think Pinkman80 likes closetojumping very much.

That's essentially the same article that ran in USA Today a month ago. The absolute craziest part of all this to me is what nobody ever discusses- Cody Campbell is Tech’s NIL sugar daddy AND Chair of the Tech Board of Regents. What a dangerous conflict of interest for TTU.

I think he is putting his money into something that he is passionate about. Frankly, he is the first to take a visible, active stand. While I don't necessarily agree with some of his conclusions or his focus, I applaud his effort. Essentially, he is advocating that the current NCAA division 1 model is unworkable. In fact, I think he is advocating that Division 1 should consist only of institutions that can support a certain "lifestyle" (defined: think SEC level money). These "big-boy' institutions should then create their own organization. If you can't pay the monthly dues, you can't join the Club! Where he stops short (or doesn't have the vision) is dealing with non-football. (the Big Picture) All of this is just banter, unless, in the end, you have a 48 school (or so) group (the Big Boy Conference) that operates under its own set of rules.... for all the sports. The org creates its own tv contracts and playoffs for all sports. Basically, the group of 48 (BBC) becomes a true minor league for the NFL, NBA, MLBB, Olympic sports etc. Sorry, the 355 Division 1 schools for basketball (the thousand pound gorilla) can go get their own TV deal....... I'm sure the Wichita State vs. Marquette game will get killer ratings! For me, I am all in on the BBC concept. So, I am pro Cody if he expands his scope. I am anti Cody if is a football only guy.

Negotiating

This is game specific and this has to do with the offenses that each team is facing. I think Ohio State has the superior interior DL to Texas. I think Ohio State has the best defensive backfield in CFB. There isn’t a WR on Texas that is a threat to Ohio State’s DB’s while Texas’ D has to go up against the #1 WR/TE rooms in the country and one of the best OL’s.

I agree. I think Texas’ OL is going to struggle massively.

Reworked just as such a negative connotation. Ohio State’s DL will be one of the best in college football.

This gets all of the emojis 😪🤔🤫🫨🤣 😕
