  1. I agree with you. I would add that the playoff committee has taken strength of schedule into account in some fashion, even though we can’t decipher what the criteria is. Take Baylor’s 2014 team. They opened with a 45-0 win over SMU, followed by a 70-6 win over NWST in week 2. I week 3 they won 63-21 over Buffalo. They later beat UT 28-7 and beat TCU, the league’s co-champion 61-58. Overall they finished 11-1. But the committee, citing SOS, deemed that Baylor should not be included in the top four even though the top four included three one loss teams (Alabama, Oregon, and Ohio State) and an undefeated FSU team. So the committee somehow did factor in SOS. I think the real issue is clarity of the SOS, and how it is weighted in the overall analysis. I would really hate to see losing the thrill of in-season marquee intersectional match-ups because the SOS is inconsistent and opaque.
  2. Most of us were pleased with Pete, and that is why everyone was so surprised by his firing. But, Pete had a bad 2021 season, prompting Sark to bring in Gary Patterson for Pete to consult with during the 2022 season. Following the lessons that Patterson delivered, Pete's level of coaching skyrocketed. Now Will will have to do what it takes to bring Kirby down a few notches.
  3. The Texas defense has given up 38 point to Mississippi State, 31 to Vanderbilt, and now 35 to Georgia (not to mention 29 against Florida). Can anyone actually tell me that we have a good defense? I present these numbers to justify my position.
  4. Covington, KY is directly across the river from Cincinnati.
  5. Moore is a good blocker and a key reason why the dink passes behind the line of scrimmage went for good yardage last year.
  6. Should we start standing in line to get tickets for the Houston Bowl?
  7. Five years ago, we would not have had the players to compete in this game. Credit Sark for recruiting elite talent to put us in position to win. Execution and communication were critical and were unfortunately missing. Go Horns.
  8. How can two different players put their hands into an opposing player’s face mask? Don’t they know it will cost 15 yards? The first changed a sure OSU punt into a touchdown drive. The second wiped out a safety. Eight points from mental errors on the defense that otherwise played well. We’ve simply become accustomed to false starts by the offensive line, but they keep happening. Maybe start thinking a little out there. Sorry for ragging these guys out. I think we have a promising season ahead. Our expectations were oversized in part due to our listening to hometown media pundits.
  9. All these guys who just had to get rid of Coach Beard should assume some responsibility for this fiasco.
  10. It all starts with recruiting. We do fantastic with Tre Johnson. But who else. The portal gave us so-so players. With a team made up of transfers and a freshman, you have a recipe for a mediocre team. With this record and the same coach, what HS stars will want to come here if they expect to play for a winner?
