    It's long been rumoured that Moore played NIL hardball before the season and got a very big check which he failed to live up to. Going forward we must play moneyball and should only spend big for proven production.

    Seems like a good dude by all accounts but the guy got paid over a $1M to produce nothing over the last two years. Honestly 2025 was worse than 2024 because he kept soaking up carries and wasting plays and possessions. Even against A&M he just went 6 carries for 10 yards while Wisner was 19-155. (And Wisner is a kind of limited RB himself), Even before the injury he was less than 5 ypc in 2023. It's nothing personal but you can't go into next season hoping for this guy to be the answer again. We need someone proven in the portal.

    If Tech outspent us it's not by much. They are smart having a personnel department independent of the coach and they were also smart spending it on proven players instead of hoping for development. Finally it's still TBD how good they actually are (I'm not sure the offense does much against a real defense). Sark blew too much money on Deandre Moore and CJ Baxter types along with a bunch of freshmen that are riding the bench.

    They pushed him out to get Mensah, and rightfully so.

    Do not like seeing Goosby projected as a first rounder lol. Very much need him back.

    We'll see if that's the real spread. I also would never bet on this Texas team. Even if we dominate there is a good chance we do our classic Turtle Tom+prevent defense that makes the score close at the end.

    Sark really sandbagged the statistical models by spending 10 games stubbornly trying to be a power running play action team with Connor Stroh and Nick Brooks at guard and CJ Baxter at RB 😭

    We are in the Citrus Bowl vs Michigan

    Personally I'm skeptical of any true freshman being a big time contributor year 1. Jeremiah Smith is an outlier for a reason. Give me a portal guy.

    Pretty sure we will play Michigan in Citrus, although USC might be a more challenging opponent

    Time to cancel some OOC games
  12. whereiend
    Also OU IMO. After all we kicked their ass at a neutral site.
  13. whereiend
    IMO there is a chance that the committee does what it absolutely should do (to incentivize OOC matchups) and they treat us as a 10-2 team that beat a cupcake instead of losing to Ohio State. In that case we have a higher ceiling than #12. Obviously my faith in this is not terribly high.
  14. whereiend
    IMO there is a world where the committee actually follows their stated criteria (SOS and head to head prioritized) and puts us ahead of ND and/or OU. It's not likely but it is possible. I don't see us slipping in at #12 or whatever.

    vs ND 100%. vs Ohio State next year maybe 50/50 just because it is short notice and at home. Michigan also 50/50 just because it is home and they kind of suck anyway.

    Daboer is the only name I've heard for Penn State that is an upgrade over James Franklin.

    If that's true then Texas will make the playoff field. If we are left out then big time OOC games will (and ought to be) a relic. I don't want to play at a disadvantage just for the sake of the sport and the networks. If we are going to do this all by loss column then Texas needs to play Indiana OOC schedules.
  19. whereiend
    If we're not ranked above OU and Vandy on Tuesday I'll be calling on the AD on Wednesday to ask them to cancel this game along with Michigan and ND. Everyone please join! I don't want Texas playing with one hand behind its back in the playoff race. It is idiotic. We need to play Indiana and Ole Miss style schedules like the committee wants us to.
  20. whereiend
    If Dinich is accurate on this then the committee has their heads buried deep in their asses. Oklahoma being a lock and is out is an absolute joke. I'm gonna be extremely pissed if we are left out and a single difficult OOC game remains on our future schedules. If that happens we need drop 100% of them, including the home games. ESPN can deal with the consequences of that.
  21. whereiend
    It's astonishing but that is the first media take I have seen that acknowledges how consequential this is regarding future OOC scheduling. There will not be any more big time OOC games if Texas is punished for losing to OSU on the road in their closest game of the year.
  22. whereiend
    Vandy won't make the field, but most do believe OU will, which I think is even more ridiculous.
  23. whereiend
    I think the only chance is if committee ranks us ahead of OU and ND, which they ought to do given our superior wins and head to head domination of OU. If that doesn't happen this week then we won't be in the playoff, and CDC needs to immediately cancel all difficult OOC games on future schedules.
  24. whereiend
    Don't agree at all. The same thing will happen to bubble teams in that format. You can say "don't be a bubble team" but there is a huge difference between making the playoff as a 15 seed and not making it. Imagine if the basketball committee operated this way? If the committee only cares about the loss column Texas needs to cancel all challenging OOC games immediately. It's an idiotic way to do selection for the playoffs.
  25. whereiend
    I support cancelling it if we don't make the playoff. At the end of the day have to send a message that what the committee is doing is idiotic. I'm holding out hope that it won't go down that way, though. If you look at it like they do in CBB we have a very good resume with three really strong wins.
