PostNouveau posted:Tom Herman needs to stop chasing points early in the game when we don't know if we'll need to chase points yet or not. This was the second of five games that went to OT when he didn't take a chip shot FG early in the game and we turned over on downs going for a TD. The offense functions much better when the QB is a true running threat, with Ehlinger playing, it clicks with what Herman does (think back at his Ohio State and UH teams - JT Barrett/Cardale Jones and Greg Ward Jr. made those offenses good). It works because he thrives on conflict, and he creates running game conflict by making the defense respect and cover the QB. Additionally, on designed QB runs you get an extra blocker. Shane B can't do that. I'm curious to see why Orlando's defense apparently can't handle misdirection or assignment option play worth a drat. Both Maryland and KSU took us to the woodshed on this. You should just read some ScipioTex and Nobis60 articles. Scipio is behind a paywall now which sucks - but worth it I think.

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

PostNouveau posted:Michigan State has the same record as Michigan, beat them in Ann Arbor, and their loss is to a Top 20 team. You should be worried about the real travesty. Iowa State has more "receiving votes" than Texas even though Texas walked into Ames and beat them!

Jason White won his because he was very good at college football - the real travesty is Vince Young and Colt McCoy being denied their rightful place in the Heisman house.

I feel like this slapfight between lead poisoned fan bases distracts from the primary focus of this week. How much everyone hates OU because they're bad people.

My wife's birthday this week - She wants basically only a date night on Saturday - How can I convince her that a good date night that she wants will be a bar where Texas-OU is playing and then going to the Astros-Yankees game?

Grittybeard posted:The team that killed the SWC killed the Big 12. Texas also didn't kill the SWC. I don't want to rehash this for the 100th time, but the Longhorn Network isn't the reason the conference fell apart, it fell apart because the members who left didn't want to be a part of it anymore (and had been that way for a long time pre-dating LHN).

Grittybeard posted:There was a reason those teams were unhappy earlier, and that reason was mostly Texas. Yes it didn't start with the LHN, and no it didn't really start anywhere other than Texas. I guess - as a Mizzou fan, explain what it is that the Texas admin did that made Mizzou want to leave the conference - pre LHN, because as you said, this apparently has little to do with LHN.

Grittybeard posted:
I'm saying it's not Texas' fault because everyone was just chasing money. Texas didn't cause the Big 10 to offer Nebraska a much larger payday or cause the SEC to to have a huge TV contract. If Nebraska or Mizzou or A&M had the option of making more money in the Big 12, they would have stayed regardless of how mean big bad Texas was. Also - it's not Texas' fault that the Big 12 never had the mass media markets that would pay like the the other conferences. Houston, DFW and Manhattan....Kansas isn't a recipe for a lot of revenue from cable subscribers. I am excited for all of these dumbshit third tier TV right channels to implode though, since people are cutting the cord at a very high rate. It will be interesting to see which conference will be the first to offer a streaming package. Sorry you so mad tho. I guess I apologize on behalf of Deloss Dodds for making Nebraska and Mizzou chase extra cash.
