Mizzou is a fun matchup, but I wish it were A&M.

I hear they suck, so it'll be interesting to see in what manner they beat us.

Uh excuse me, we received 3 votes in last week's AP Poll. But really, we started the season 1-5 and, finished 7-5. If we win the Texas Bowl, we will be the second team to win 8 games in a season after starting 1-5.

Oh yeah you'll probably beat us pretty soundly then

I meant for the sake of the victim. They absolutely should be putting Anderson on blast, suspending him, etc. But it's kind of lovely for the victim to have the details of what happened to you publicized just because the assailant had some level of fame.

Her original is so generic they probably package a template like that in Illustrator these days. You can't be like "Oh my precious original design" when it's a cutout of a dude staring at the camera cropped like that. People have been designing sports events fliers that look exactly like that for a decade.

Somebody launched a write-in effort like a week before the election. I forget his name, but he got a little burst of press from it. He'll probably have the most write-ins.

Just saw that Buechele is supposed to start for Texas tomorrow. Texas fans isn't Ehlinger clearly superior (although still not very good) or am I hallucinating that? Or at least clearly has the better upside and you might as well give him as many reps as possible?

The offense works best with him, but it relies on him running all the time. Limiting his playing time might be a risk reduction measure.

Buechele is actually the better passer.

This is really cool. It's a great send-off for Dickson, who single-handedly papered over a lot of offensive issues the whole season. I'm surprised he beat Devonte Davis, who forced a fumble and got a pick, but it was well-deserved.

Pay Todd Orlando as much as it takes. The man is a wizard. Mizzou scored 50 basically on their last 6 sec opponents and they looked helpless against our defense tonight. A defense without its 3 best players in Malik, holton, and deshon elliot.

Dear god yes. Back up the Brinks truck. Buy him a house. Name him head-coach-in-waiting even though we just hired a super young guy. If there's a way to keep him, we need to figure it out.

Every time I watch a USC game, Darnold has some stupid-rear end turnover. It's super obvious NFL defenses are going to eat him alive. He might have a lot of physical upsides, but you can't train "doofus" out of someone. He'll always be a doofus.

He's gonna go before Lamar Jackson if he goes this year, which is nuts. I hope it's not my team that makes that huge mistake.

I wouldn't be so sure. Darnold's flaws are certainly fixable and he has the talent. And their offensive line promises to be better especially when not facing three first-round picks, and his receivers are young as hell.

Can't fix him being a goober.

But he threw like 400 yards on us in the first game, so I've got no reason to think we're going to totally shut him down next year.

Clemson had a bad night, and that game might go differently if they played again next week.

Our systems are designed to dole out fleeting moments of recognition to teams who have more of an almost-arbitrarily apportioned number of points awarded to whoever happens to get luckiest within a basically random time frame.

Within a blip on the cosmic scale we will all be gone from here and no one that remembers our existence will remain. The only universal constant is that A&M is rear end.

Just a reminder that JMU and NDSU are playing for the FCS Natty tomorrow at 1. It should be a great matchup, as their defenses are top in the FCS, and both have strong offenses to boot (NDSU’s is better).

Everybody should root for JMU because our mascot is a bulldog with a crown and kickass cape.

Winner should claim the FBS title as well.
