  1. If we are dumb enough to continue scheduling Ohio State, Michigan etc then I don’t want to hear Sark or Del Conte complain about our schedule. We have control over our non conference schedule. We all know the rules now….only wins and losses count, not level of competition. Texas Tech is laughing. Texas and OU left the Big XII and they diluted the conference with mediocre teams. TT decides to schedule nobody in non conference play, then can’t even go undefeated in conference play after losing to ASU and they still get a playoff bye. UT mindset. Play toughest regular season schedule in the nation and then when we don’t make the playoffs, complain that everyone else played an easier schedule. Either adapt or STFU. Nobody is making us play those games.
  2. It will be interesting to see if Campbell does better at PSU than Franklin at VT.
  3. The committee should be fired for ranking Notre Dame over Miami even though Miami beat ND and they both have 10-2 records. It’s as if Miami never played ND. Why even play the game. Flawed logic implies there was logic to begin with. Their selection process is simple. They look at won loss records and pick the prettiest records. Here are their top 13 rankings. Ohio State: 12-0 Indiana: 12-0 Georgia: 11-1 Texas Tech: 11-1 Oregon: 11-1 Ole Miss: 11-1 Texas A&M: 11-1 Oklahoma: 10-2 Alabama: 10-2 Notre Dame: 10-2 BYU: 11-1 Miami (Fla.): 10-2 Texas: 9-3
  4. Yep, and if we were to sneak in and lose in the first round we would never live it down.
  5. I had forgotten all about Morris. Had to look up his bio. You weren’t kidding about his descent. Coaching career (HC unless noted) 1994–1997Eustace HS (TX) 1998–1999Elysian Fields HS (TX) 2000–2002Bay City HS (TX) 2003–2007Stephenville HS (TX) 2008–2009Lake Travis HS (TX) 2010Tulsa (AHC/OC/QB) 2011–2014Clemson (OC/QB) 2015–2017SMU 2018–2019Arkansas 2020Auburn (OC/QB) 2021Allen HS (TX) 2022South Florida (off. analyst) 2023Clemson (off. analyst) 2024Texas State(WR/PGC)
  6. Agree. The goal is to make the playoffs, not to have the toughest regular season schedule.
  7. It would be a smart and a strong message to the selection committee and TV execs. Rewarding teams for playing weak non conference schedules is not smart. We either do the same or be considered idiots.
  8. Not sure why the video stopped working. See if the link below will take you to it. https://x.com/nocontextcfb/status/1985013919396897123?s=61&t=70PAeQwo4BoyGsvilM7UUw
  9. Special teams and defense won this game. 3 FG by Shipley including one from 53 yards and the game winner in overtime from 45 yards. Our only TD was set up by a Bouwmeester punt that pinned Kentucky inside their 10. The defense stopped them, forced a punt and Niblett returned it to the 5 or 6 yard line and we were able to score a TD.
  10. Great throw with a defender in his face.
  11. Under. If you throw out the SJSU and SHSU games Arch is averaging 169 yards per game passing.
  12. Endries and Townsend could make a good duo if Townsend can pick up the play book quick enough.
  13. Agree, we have no one that can what Blue did on this run.
  14. Acho shows and diagrams 3 plays here. Constructive thoughts. The first and third clips Sark schemed them open. The other clip on the INT Acho explains the options.
  15. This was one of the best passes by Arch:
  16. Not sure who all was a culture fit but one player in the portal that would make defenses pay attention every play was Zachariah Branch. It would have been fun to watch Branch and Wingo play together. My main concern for this season was the lack of explosive playmakers on offense. I think Jack Endries will be good at TE… and maybe Livingstone will get more comfortable after the nice TD catch yesterday.
  17. Wingo is our only player that would scare a DC. Double him and who else do we have that is explosive? Last year we had Golden, Wingo, Bond (until his injury) and Blue. We had Worthy and Bijan year one. Worthy, Bijan and Blue year two. Worthy, Mitchell and Blue year 3.
