You are probably thinking I’m gonna get snarky and sarcastic about the Longhorns. No. This is just sad. And disorienting. Texas just got beat in boys tackle football, at home, in overtime by a basketball school by a basketball score.
No snark. Sadness.
I’ll save the snark for Waco. “Ambivalence” for me is turning out to be right after publicly picking Baylah (They Nasty!) to win a football game. But it was not hard to see that coming. I’m not going to go as far as to say Au Jus has been living a lie, but the Sooners’ Schooner has been pretty rickety at times. Finally broke an axle.
Oh, and Au Jus ain’t through losing.
You think ANYBODY wants to play Oklahoma State right about now?
And, Baylah (They NASTY!) What WAS up with that late FG? Inquiring minds want to know. I guess there’ll be no Christmas card exchange this holiday season?
Aggies, this is just a question, not a poke. How upset are you about the loss at Ole Miss? Encouraged by the comeback? Or lucky that wasn’t a blowout?
Nice work by:
Michigan
Notre Dame
Wake Forest
MISSISSIPPI STATE! (HUH?)
Iowa
Kansas State
Florida State
Texas Tech
Yeah, I know I’m one of only about three people who care. But the Mike Bloomgren Era at Rice ended for me yesterday. Nothing personal. Seems like a good enough bloke. But it didn’t work. And it’s not going to work. Next.
UTSA did not get upset by Southern Miss. No. UTSA ALMOST got upset by Southern Miss. My point is that the Roadrunners have nothing to be apologetic about. Good teams, and mature teams, avoid getting upset on days when they ALMOST get upset. Everybody is going to have days like that. You know how you describe UTSA? Undefeated.
And besides, even if the Roadrunners had lost to Southern Miss, that wouldn’t have been as bad as losing to, say, Kansas, right?
Wonder what Dan Mullen is going to be doing next year.
You DID see that USC-Cal was postponed because of COVID, right? This ain’t over.
Fullbacks are out of fashion. On-line tight ends are passe. Smashmouth is so over. Defense is déclassé, right? Okay, then you tell me who’s gonna beat Georgia. Actually, I’ll tell you. Nobody. Back to the Future? I love it. I have some old ties that will be coming back into fashion, too. I mean, you know, if I still had a need to wear ties…
The Bulldogs say, “Stick THAT in your spread…”
