      I don’t understand why this is as close as it is. Does Marcus Freeman only get the team hyped up for big games? I know full well how painful that is, as that was Texas under Tom Herman…

        I don’t feel like that’s a theme but maybe Notre Dame and a&m aren’t as good as they were hyped? Leonard looks bad.

          Fair enough. I was thinking about 2022 with the loss to Marshall (maybe not fair to judge a coach in their first year). You might be right about last week’s game being fool’s gold. Shades of the 2016 Texas-ND game where both of us had a terrible year.

          Hope things turn around for y’all…

        Classic Freeman. Play down to the competition. Im not sure he is gonna turn it around. He’s been in it this long he should be able to win this with some kind of ease, or at least win.

        And like last year or that year before beating Duke at the last second. We just can’t play week in, week out. Always a stumble against a team we should beat.

      Yikes I’m so isolated from advertisements it’s very jarring watching live TV again. Even last week I watched through an app and had limited advertisements.

      I will only feel welcome in the SEC once Texas beats Georgia. Hopefully we can do that once or twice this season.

          I too find that acceptable. I am pleased both that TCU doesn’t play this version of Sixth-Street UT, and that they might have a chance to humble Florida’s biggest rival in a year where we, uhhh, won’t. For some reason, I still think the Gators will at least show up against Dollywood UT.

              Dollywood’s cool, and Dolly (peace be upon her) speaks well of East Tennessee in general.

              Mostly just amusing myself trying not to reuse the distinguishing terms.

              One of my best friends from UF did law school at Sunsphere UT, and I actually considered it for undergrad seriously enough to tour the campus.

        Starting to show the cracks I’ve suspected were there. Shedeur leaving the game early with an entourage should embarrass CU fans; they deserve better.

    Man, I wish I could pay more attention to the 20K-State @ Tulane game. Really curious how the Wildcats have struggled so much in the first half so far

      Actually tuning away from my Texas game because it’s so lopsided. K-State just got a scoop n’ score in this one. I was hoping the Green Wave could hold on to their lead but this is probably the turning point in this game

    2Texas at 12Michigan

    Super frustrating to have a touchdown taken away because of a holding penalty, and then missing the FG. But there will be plenty of opportunities to score. Although I’m a fan of both teams, the Michigan team is a husk of what they were last year and I really expect my Longhorns to push them around, especially later in the game

    Edit to add: I really do not like the CGI Allstate FG nets. But I guess it has me talking about them, so advertising works, I guess?

      So we lose Baxter in the preseason, and Blue goes down in this game. :( It’s a good thing Wisner has stepped up, otherwise the RB room would be pretty bare. Hope Blue is okay.

      Very uncharacteristic of Loveland to cough up the ball like that. Normally I’d be real annoyed about it, but they’re playing my alma mater so shrug

    Samford @ Florida

    DJ Lagway starting and looks mostly like he should versus a middling FCS team, but this Florida team is still very inefficient. Billy doesn’t get fired this week, but he’s not restoring much faith either.

      Just curious, is there a good week for him to be fired? Especially since the back of the schedule is such a gauntlet, it seems like it would set up an interim for failure.

        A lot of people think if he loses to UCF that’ll do it. Nobody really gives a shit how the interim does. The new coach will either be a huge splash or will lose the class and Billy’s top 'croots.

        Billy’s only, and I mean ONLY chance is to win five+ and have Lagway look like next year will involve Heisman chatter.
