I appreciate WMU taking the high road. And it doesn't really make a bit of difference to me. But I really feel for the WMU players. They deserved to win, and watching it live, I have no doubt they did. The Big 10 explanation makes no sense and does not convince me otherwise.

No, there were not 10 seconds on the official clock. Or at least there should not have been. The on-field official literally reset the game clock to 9 seconds right before the play.

I don't see how they could be out of sync when they literally reset the clock to nine seconds before the play. For those that were not watching, Michigan threw a long pass over the middle with no timeouts. They ran up to the line and spiked the ball. The clock ran down to 8 seconds and the official said please reset the game clock to nine seconds. Which the clock that was shown on the broadcast and in the stadium did. So, how did they get out of sync?

The Big 10 argument makes zero sense. There is nothing to suggest the clock on the broadcast started early. Are they saying the broadcast clock ran faster than the official clock? Because nine seconds is nine seconds. And they had literally just "reset the game clock" to nine seconds. So, it isn't like there were really 9.9 seconds on the official clock, but only 9 seconds on the broadcast clock. I watched it in real time and I would find it incredibly hard to believe that the play took less than nine seconds. But I also agree with the comment that WMU got too cute with their defense. It makes zero sense to "blitz" a fourth rusher there.

This! Forget all the speculation. I know it is natural to be curious, but these situations don't always have easy or obvious answers. And they are not always somebody's "fault." At the end of the day, "why" doesn't matter. Wish the best for the young man and hope he gets it figured out for his own sake. And let's talk about where the Horns go from here.

For the record, the team ended up splitting the games with the Dutch. They lost 8-7 on Monday (after giving up 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th) and won 7-5 yesterday. If you are interested, you can watch the games

I don't disagree that Foreman may have had better numbers than Priest, but it is not accurate to say that Priest's team had virtually nothing but him. Shon Mitchell was actually the much more heralded recruit on the team and probably got more starts/snaps (much to my wife's chagrin). And let's not forget a RB by the name of Ricky Williams who was there for Priest's senior year. That was one of the most stacked RB rooms in UT history.

Apparently, Paxton's price tag/corruption was higher than thought. The Texas Tribune reported today that Paxton received $275K from Campbell the day before he intervened.

Like any good attorney, Kessler is going to take every penny that he can from the money for which Sorsby settled with Tech.

That is not a bad list to be in. And well deserved.

For me it is easy - Ron McKelvey.

Honestly, this isn't an NCAA problem. The exact same arguments could have been made if the NFL tried to enforce their rule. When you have a corrupt judge with an agenda, you can get your way for at least a period of time. The difference is, there is no TEAM in the NFL that would allow this to happen. This is 100% a Tech issue. Right now, I think the Texas Legislature and their ability to defund or financially punish Tech is the only thing that has any power. It won't happen, but I would love to see Abbott call a special session to address Tech's conduct.

He is definitely up and down. But situations really matter. He is much better when he comes in for a clean inning. It seems like when he comes in for high level situations like last night, he gets too amped up and overthrows, causing the control issues. That is why he didn't make it (and probably never will) in the closer role. But he had a couple of good outings recently, and I still think he can help us in the final push. I actually feel like if they had put him in to start the 6th, instead of trying to extend DV another inning, he probably would have been fine for an inning or two. But I also understand why they would want to ride DV as long as they could.

I think the OP's point is that the way most people talk about ALL IN is like the professional model of sacrificing the future to win today. It is a little different in the college game, but people want to throw a pile of money at every prospect who may possibly have the talent to help us next year, regardless of what it to the culture of the team. But Sark didn't build this program to be like Tech. He didn't build it by throwing piles of cash at mercenary players with no regard for how they fit in the locker room or how their deal will impact the morale of the team. And taking that approach this year because we "can't waste Manning's and Simmon's last year" threatens to destroy the entire model/culture he has built. I am all for Sark doing everything he can to fill holes through the portal, but I also agree with the OP that it should not be at the expense of the PROGRAM and TEAM in 2027 and beyond.

Still the only game I have ever been to that I didn't stay for The Eyes. We were in the upper deck, the wind was whipping, and it was colder than anything I had ever felt. And we were about as prepared for the weather as the Horns were for the Canes. We made it to late in the 4th quarter, but it was more than we could stand...
