Saw a stat earlier that you'll probably enjoy, this isn't up to date but at some point in the second quarter today Missouri had been outscored 130-20 since they led South Carolina 10-0.

Missouri was likely bad anyway, but if there was a turning point where the season absolutely went to poo poo it's when they decided to kick to Deebo.

This kind of makes me sad actually, because I miss Deebo.

Seriously, though, I can't muster up any kind of animus toward Missouri with the level of poo poo y'all are obviously dealing with right now.

Do you know if he has a shot at a medical redshirt? Although he might not stay long enough to use it anyway I guess.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
So if I'm the Big 12, I'm taking all my refs into a room and saying "do whatever it takes to keep TCU perfect" because if they drop a game the Big 12 is going to miss on the CFP for a 4th year.

I'm trying not to get worked up about this, both because the schedule talk is kinda true (we haven't beaten anyone worth a drat yet and the Colorado win quickly lost its shine), and we still made the playoffs last year with a bad non-con, so take care of business and it might not matter in the end.

On the other hand, this is the narrative going forward and ugggghhhh I'm already dreading the next two months. Whatevs, just keep winning.

Haha, this is not the difference in the game at all by any means and it's Missouri's fault for calling a play that was easily tackled in bounds for no meaningful gain but check out the umpire here:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/916869320612904960

Smart move by that UK guy if he casually hit the ball on purpose, it seems unlikely that Moore would have dropped it on his own, or at least dropped it in a fashion where it rolled all the way over there.

e: Not sure why that isn't embedding.

Adlai Stevenson posted:

I can see the game going a few different ways. I don't think Utah will be able to fully corral Stanford's running game even on their best night and Utah's offense is unremarkable so far. I think either Utah wins a close game or they get behind early and flail to try to catch up while Stanford controls the clock.

But it looks like the game went a pretty predictable fashion. Utah's defense was good but still broke once against a very good rusher. That play put them down far enough that they actually had to trust their offense to perform in a dire situation. The offense did not. Stanford won and deserved it. Utah did not fall behind early but I'm still giving myself a gold star for guessing how this would go.

Utah's gonna lose next week but should still go bowling with room to breathe. It'll still be a fine season.

This just confuses me, it isn't like the Big 12 is holding Texas hostage.

Well they kind of are with the grant of rights I suppose, but that only happened because Texas decided they wanted the Big 12 to continue existing enough to sign it.

Fans have different opinions than administrators. Most fans think LHN is stupid and never watch it, but the admin loves the $30MM we get every year. The admin does not want to schedule A&M as an OOC game, the fans all want it. The fans think the Big XII sucks and would much rather be in the Pac-12, but the admin likes the Big XII because it allows them to collect their money from LHN.

I can appreciate that, but knowing that the Longhorn Network isn't going away until ESPN can get out of it (at which point ESPN will run away screaming and laughing), and knowing that it's a complete non-starter for the Pac-12 as far as joining them...shouldn't you guys want the Big 12 to survive as the most viable conference it can be in the meantime?

There's still a slim chance he returns before the end of the season, but it's doubtful. They haven't really said anything about a redshirt or not yet.


Game was fun. Defense was playing like they were on fire, and if the offense just settles down and executes I think they could make Kurt Roper actually look pretty competent. Rico Dowdle was running like he wanted to hurt somebody, too, which was good to see.
