The Big 12 can issue all the statements it wants. Nobody cares what they say. The game was chock full of flukes, missed calls, etc. There were a bunch of remarkable things about the game…so much that nothing in particular is remarkable. Certainly not a tackle on a tipped ball that was bang bang, and clearly not intentional.

I totally agree with you. Every offensive and defensive play has a certain probability attached to it. ASU’s RB probably can’t pick up that blitz. Our’s can. ASU did a bunch of stuff that shouldn’t work, but did. You can it a 40% play almost half the time. The whole game had things happen that shouldn’t including 2 missed FG, one blocked FG. A punt return for a TD. A punt that should have been blocked but extended a drive with a penalty. A RB pass. The entire game was statistically improbable, but happened b/c ASU had nothing to lose.

We are lucky to have him !

Strong leg, but needs work on mechanics. He could redshirt, get paid NIL and get a lot better.

Incredible. Are we living on borrowed time, or is Trevor actually that good?

I live in NYC, so I really don’t have to put up with anyone obnoxious like most of you My big interaction is with OU fans every year, and they have been just fine. also had dinner with their AD last year and thought he was a hoot with the aggies, I read the posted conspiracy theories, which is kinda my biggest pet peeve OU

I carry mustard in my backpack

I also hate mayo. I even have a t shirt that says so !

No kickoffs in the middle of the day if you are playing in August. We can’t endanger these kids any more than we do…we have to make the game safer, not more dangerous Real penalties for paying players in cash, as these schools subject the kids to felonies for tax evasion. Files are constructed and turned over to the IRS and the Feds A statutory change to Title IX. The reality is that young men need scholarships more than women do, particularly black men. Women are more mature and outperform men in high school. We have to get our young men into college however we can. The do gooders are missing the problem. Grading of all refs by a regulatory body. Grades get published. The worst refs get downgraded, paid less, whatever. We don’t need some of these stupid ass calls affecting games. Statistically-impossible (i.e, anything beyond 2 standard deviations) outcomes need to be examined. The holding penalties against us last year is one example. Oklahoma State is an example. the SEC and the Big 10 should pay their refs more, and they should fire people who suck. Socialism breeds mediocrity.

Clearly a great college player and a rock on the defense. Prob needs to have a BIll Bates type role if he makes pros. I assume he can get sronger. Smart player

That makes sense to me. I have thought our snap count was dumb for a long time

I would just buy the Texas exes pass. It’s been an early game for while, so the tradition is a bit eroded.

That is actually pretty funny. I feel sorry for folks that take it too seriously

Florida, A&M, Miami all publicly shamed for not living up to NIL expectations. Now UNLV this is why it was soooo important to do correctly from the start

Well, I have been here. But it’s illegal to pay cash for that. And you turn the kids into felons instantly.

These are kids susceptible to it. It’s a pity

I am well aware of the stat, which is an awesome one. But, I think Bond might be the best WR we have by a real margin. I am throwing out Wingo, as he is a freshman. He still doesn’t know the playbook. He will learn it

It’s why the kid profiles to UT. Upper middle class kids understand the value proposition that UT has. It is often difficult to explain it to somebody who lives in Lufkin.

I cannot think of a receiver having a first three games as good as Bond. Throw in that he is a transfer, and it’s saying something. It’s hard for me to watch blocking, but I just watched his textbook block on the long Manning TD run. But I think he is fast, instinctive, can run great routes, has great hands and has a nose for the end zone. I think he is more complete than Worthy or A.D, and I love and appreciate both of them. As far as Freshman, Ringo reminds me of Lovell Pinkney and Roy Williams in terms of showing up as a man and immediately fitting in. But, in my eyes, Bond is clearly WR 1

I don’t care about the coach. The issue for us is that LSU pays players not to take visits to UT. A&M did it too, although it’s not clear that they are doing that anymore, now that they were unable to fulfill their promises after the greatest recruiting haul of all time

I know its illegal to jump over the front line, but actually don’t know if the rule addresses that new second line (new, as in the last decade-ish)

Great summary. Wishing all of these guys the best of luck. Sometimes things just don’t work out. And, in the transfer portal era, there are going to be opportunities that look better than others. I think that our current WR are all better than these guys, but, to be fair, they were all injured a lot, so there are obviously extenuating circumstances.

Interesting. Is Pete Nakos important in this regard? Never heard of him

I was thinking the same thing last year and this year. The problem with mercenaries is that they bail when it suits them. Sometimes you need to believe to do things you don’t want to do, or feel like you can’t

Just got 3 texts on this! hookem !
