    That NC winning coach is fool's gold. Lucked into Jameis Winston. Did not "develop him"- less than one year of development factored not at all into what Winston was in 2013, which was lightning in a bottle. Fisher ran FSU into the ground and got ran out of town by Dabo Swinney. I do not fault the Aggies for not doing anything with that "NC winning coach". I DO fault them for being idiots for hiring him. And that recruiting class was just an amalgamation of recruiting points. The whole thing was just bolstered by a boatload of highly rated DL. Takes more than a good DL obviously.

    Same. Though, as long as they have Marcell "One Read" Reed running the offense I feel fine. Plus, the losses they will have on the OL as well as losing Concepcion and possibly Craver SHOULD negate any advantage getting a better OC would have. We DEFINITELY need to out recruit TAMU on the OL in the portal. It will be a major failure if TAMU is better than us on the LOS on either side next year.

    Do you think concessions don't NET Texas money every time they have an event? I think you think Texas gets more money from participating in the Citrus Bowl than they actually do. That is not the benefit. The benefit is the extra practice and playing time for backups, which this scenario could also achieve.

    The payout for the Citrus Bowl is on the order of $8 to $10 million, which is split 16 ways between conferences. I would be shocked if the Texas couldn't come out with better profit from this.

    For an average ticket price of $200 for a low estimate of 80,000 people, that is $16 million before sales of anything else. Texas couldn't put on a football game (a la enhanced spring game, which they used to do for free) for $16 million?

    Hell, fans of most teams in Texas not located in Lubbock or College Station would probably rather go to a game in Austin than wherever their teams are going bowling (if they're going bowling at all).

    Love to see it. It's cold up there in Ohio and Michigan. The Buckeyes and Wolverines need some heat in their lives.

    I would rather see Texas play a team like Texas State, Houston, TCU literally any Texas team in Austin than see Texas play an exhibition vs a mediocre team in a bowl game. If it's about getting backups reps, it would scratch that itch. It could be a celebration of the season at home and would cater to many more fans than the bowl game. Probably more revenue for Texas. Fans could make it a point to show up to the game out of financial support of the team (like the first game of the season against a nobody, which are actually some of my favorites to go to). And the added benefit relative to the first game of the season is it wouldn't be hot as hell. Could keep the party going on all day in Austin. Screw exhibition bowls against mediocre teams.

    More seriously, a loss by Texas in a bowl game, especially to a sorry team like Michigan, WILL be used as justification for their exclusion in the CFP. Even if 50% of our team opts out while 100% of Michigan's team opts in. Happened to Bama in 2024 and FSU in 2023.
  10. CHorn427
    With as illogical as the CFP committee is, they will probably use a Texas loss to Michigan in a bowl game this year as a tiebreaker next year should it come to that.

    You don’t say? I actually thought losing to Florida was a good thing, so thanks for clarifying
  12. CHorn427
    Wow, I didn’t realize not losing to UGA would have made us 10-2 with another top 10 win! 😂 The annoying thing is that people and the CFP committee don’t take into account the actual way the game was played, just the final score. And they’re not even consistent with it. For instance, the following combination: 1. Texas had the ball with the ability to tie both the OSU and Florida games late in the 4th quarter. But we got “dominated” 2. Texas was up on Vandy by 24 pts in the 4th quarter before starting to play prevent with backup DBs and run the clock out. Vandy was down by 10 pts until 33 seconds left. The last they had the ball with the opportunity to tie the game was their first possession, a 4 play 4 yard drive ending in a fumble. But that’s a “close game” and not “domination”

    Happier with him going to Ohio State than Oregon. F- Oregon
  14. CHorn427
    The more I think about it, the more I really want Texas to opt out of a bowl unless it’s ND or Miami
  15. CHorn427
    The annoying thing is Michigan will probably have way fewer opt outs than us. Same crap happened when they played Bama. Same for the 2022 UW game But we’ll have to hear it forever if we lose to Michigan. This is the last opportunity for this Michigan team to get a ranked win this season
  16. CHorn427
    I think the Citrus is tier one by itself and gets first dibs. So that would be why we’re there. There are multiple tier 2 SEC tied in bowls and I think SEC has say in those which teams they assign to those
  17. CHorn427
    I think we could maximize participation and meaning vs ND or Miami. it is what it is
  18. CHorn427
    We should opt out as well unless we can play ND or Miami. #13 should be playing #11 or #12. #13 playing #19 is extra meaningless
  19. CHorn427
    A win over 2025 Michigan is nowhere close to being a win over 2023 Michigan. Michigan is the most overrated 9-3 team in the country
  20. CHorn427
    The problem isn’t winning the game. The problem is Texas gets no credit if we win and won’t move up rankings or anything. We would if we played and beat ND or Miami
  21. CHorn427
    Michigan hasn’t come within 11 pts of any ranked team they’ve played. I’d put my life on Texas -3.
  22. CHorn427
    I hate that we’re gonna play Michigan. Really do. Nothing to gain. Winless vs ranked teams. It will just be a win margin comparison game at best
  23. CHorn427
    Where is the order?
  24. CHorn427
    vs ND or Miami Is this a possibility? Screw the Citrus vs Michigan
  25. CHorn427
    There should be an explicit rule that makes 8-4 teams ineligible. I do not ever want to hear an 8-4 team whine about being excluded. And Texas will never deserve in at 8-4 under any circumstance. 6-6 bowl eligible 9-3 CFP eligible
