    In the analytical power rankings (e.g FPI and SP+) we're going to move *up* after the game vs OSU. We significantly out gained them not only in total yards but also per-play. We lost because of a few 4th downs and penalties, which an analytics person would call bad luck. I do think Arch obviously has to play much better but the team around is pretty damn well positioned. And we have 3 weeks of patsies to tune up the passing game on. Personally I'd put us #2 of this group. Neither Clemson nor LSU was particularly great last year, so I'm not a believer on them yet. Remember how pathetic that Clemson defense was? Notre Dame lost a lot and doesn't recruit like OSU and Texas. Do we really believe Miami has a good defense now, or was ND just a bit limited themselves? We'll see how it plays out.

    "Long Island" honestly might be the single funniest opponent I have ever seen for a P5 team.

    Glass half full is that outside of Arch the team looked really good given the competition level and road environment. Arch just has to get better over the next few weeks.

    I think they were both legit calls but ticky tack. SEC refs love to throw flags. Game was lost by the passing game taking so long to get going.

    This is like a Mack Brown OU game

    Ug wrong thread.

    Patricia having 0 film disarmed Sark's ability to plan winners in the script.

    Conservative call but I get going into half time with it being a one score game. If we don't do dumb penalties OSU won't drive the entire field. 2nd half needs more quick game.

    Don't get the hand wringing about the defense. It was two dumb and unnecessary penalties that made the drive. (Both of which get let go if not SEC refs IMO).

    2008 was much better on offense. The offense really missed Cosby and Ogbonnaya in 2009. Though I wonder if some of the struggle was also a result of opponents doing a lot of film study on the Colt Mccoy offense over the summer and finding a few answers. Both teams kind of sucked on the OL. (McWhorter has to be the worst recruiting assistant coach that we've had). 2009 was probably better on defense, but they also didn't have to play Sam Bradford, Crabtree, Terrelle Pryor, etc, so that helped. (Not unlike our defense last year who also dominated a slate of bad offenses but showed to be a bit more mortal in the playoffs). Overall IMO 2008 was the better team, though 2009 probably had the better chance to win the NC just because the competition was weaker.

    Where did he say that Flood was wrong? CTJ's point is that there might be more to the story as far as *why* Flood is doing it, not that Flood is an idiot. Though I think Bobby's explanation (Robertson is OL #6 and we need to prepare for what that means) does make sense.

    If Bond has his head on straight then it's a great move for Cleveland. Basically a free draft pick.

    I feel like Quinn would clear waivers and thus I expect practice squad. But we'll see...

    Those guys had Clinton Portis, Frank Gore, and Willis Mcgahee on the same roster at one point lol.

    IMO the unlimited transfers is the one thing that really needs to be fixed, and it turns out it's quite easy to do so: just allow players to sign binding multi-year pay for play contracts. The attempts to identify "legitimate" NIL just brings us back to a system where we reward cheaters. Only this time it's even easier to cheat because there are many legitimate avenues to launder the money through. (If you think about it rules were much easier to enforce when players weren't allowed to take any money whatsoever).

    The day TOF goes straight to the AD is the day I stop contributing. The AD needs to fund the $20M on their own from ticket sales, media payouts, etc. The purpose of TOF is to be additional compensation beyond the $20M.

    No doubt but there was an order of magnitude difference between the typical handshakes and the bag drops SEC schools were doing pre-NIL. And now there is another order of magnitude difference between those bag drops and the "NIL" today. For players in the UT roster they are probably literally making 100x what they were before NIL... (Talking in terms of pure cash, not counting the value of the scholarships and whatnot).

    If true they spent way too much money for a mediocre QB

    The Rockets have a ton of talent but they were one of the worst teams in the NBA in half court offense. Clearly they got KD with the idea that he'll help solve that one weakness, and he isn't gonna do that by standing on the 3 point line like Ray Allen on the Heat! That's all I'm saying.
  23. whereiend
    Yeah whether he can stay healthy is a big question for sure. Hope it goes well!

    Of course they will keep his minutes down in the meaningless regular season, but you gotta be kidding me suggesting Sengun would be the #1 option on offense. He averaged 19 ppg on 54% TS compared to KD averaging 26 ppg at 64% TS. KD is far and away the best offensive player in that roster and got him specifically because they needed a number one option down the stretch of close games. It's not at all like Ray Allen standing on the 3 point line watching prime LeBron James and Dwayne Wade. That's just silly.
  25. whereiend
    Uhmm, who do you think will be the #1 offensive option on the rockets over Kevin Durant? I'm sorry but Ray Allen on the heat is not a great comparison. Maybe more like Shaq when he went to Miami.
