    Week 8 Scoreboard & games of interest…

    It’s as relative to last season’s results because the transitive property is nonsense. Tx St has shown a propensity of playing to the level of competition. USA got USM at home after a 10 day lay off. I’m not saying USA isn’t good, but there’s just as much indication Tx St/USA will be a dog fight...

    It's Ryder Cup Time....

    JT is the only reason why it's not 6-2 - Spieth was completely absent on the back 9. I think JT is a better golfer than Poulter and he seems to care deeply about and get up for the Ryder Cup. Based on the matchups for tomorrow morning, coming out no worse than 7.5-4.5 is a necessity. If we win...

    Realignment Super Thread

    The financial incentives of the drivers of this round of realignment (i.e., ESPN and Fox) will not let it happen in the near term with the Big XII GOR through 2030 and ACC through 2036. I also think any break away by B1G/SEC would trigger bipartisan efforts in Congress and numerous state houses...

    Fan Engagement

    I think I'm right at or above .500. Attended nearly every home game from '05-'08 during undergrad. Post-grad, I went to the SFA game in '09 (W), UH in '10 (L), TTU in '11 (L), USA (W) and ULL '13 (L), Navy '14 (L), and App St '22 (W).

    Who's Leaving? Arriving?

    I cannot speak to the undergrads for Stanford, but student-athletes are on the same admission standards as any other applicant for graduate programs.

    If he goes to a team that has an average or better OL he should put up some impressive numbers.

    Rogers was a walk-on and never saw the field. Doubt he took a RS at BU, but I hope he did this past season.

    Who's Leaving? Arriving?

    Drones may not be the most accurate passer, but he would physically dominate at the G5 level. He'd be an absolute coup for Tx St and almost certainly the highest rated recruit in its history. I wouldn't expect a 50/4 TD/Int ratio, but a 3,250/750 pass yards/rush yards split is more than attainable.

    Thoughts on potential candidates to replace Jake Spavital

    <puts on tin foil hat> I like the pick up/drop off theory. No reason to pay to hangar the plane, pay a per diem to the pilot given the distance (171 miles) and jet fuel for a king air is roughly $375/hour of flight time.

    Thoughts on potential candidates to replace Jake Spavital

    Adding more to the speculation, the Board of Regents met on 11/17-11/18 in San Marcos then had a special meeting on 11/19 in Mason, TX. Only item on the special meeting agenda was: "Preview of new data visualization tools - Using these newly developed data visualization tools, we will take a...

    Here's some more - can the 10-day rule be circumvented because Keeler is already employed by the Tx St University System?

    Thoughts on potential candidates to replace Jake Spavital

    Agree it should've occurred weeks ago, but I think KD/DC wanting to ensure they get their guy with the volume of vacancies at G5 schools. The "rush" is the only thing that gives me any hope it's not Bailiff because I doubt he has any suitors knocking on his door.

    Thoughts on potential candidates to replace Jake Spavital

    Theoretically, yes. However, in the transfer portal era and with early NSD in December any coach that is not in a CFP game should be coming in to build the roster. December 19-January 12 is a recruiting dead period so a lot of work needs to occur before then.

    Thoughts on potential candidates to replace Jake Spavital

    Tbf, TCU was a CFP contender a couple times under Patterson. He's a defensive X's and O's wizard. That said, he's objectively bad with the media/criticism, allegedly lost the locker room, he's had issues turning a blind eye to off field issues with players, and apparently his practices were...

    SZD - you won’t believe this s&$t

    True but Bell did recruit Novosad to Baylor over his parents' alma mater, A&M, so he has some chops. Bell played at Baylor and is in line for the Baylor OC job if Grimes jumps ship which means he's likely not going anywhere. He's young, but I'd like Garrett Riley to at least get an interview...

    Why are we so bad at rushing the ball?

    To preempt his moving of the goal posts, 4 based on the game summaries/box scores readily available (twice in 2003 (Angelo St and UC-Davis) and twice in 2005 (A&M and Ga So)).
