I’m so tired of the media. Sure, Oklahoma may have players return for this game but they won’t be conditioned for a massive game like this. Sure we haven’t played anywhere near top level competition but neither has Oklahoma & did anyone notice all the jabs Bob Stoops and company took in that prediction video? Thats not how you talk about someone you “love”.

Usually the side talking the most is the side that is scared. The quiet side is very dangerous and knows exactly what kind of team they have. We are the quiet side. We know we have a legit NC contender. We will show it tomorrow night.

So we saw in WW2, as ravenous as the Nazi supporters. Not a badge of honor to be loyal to anyone or anything blindly and "no matter what". Folks need to think for themselves more than that.

Me too... I think they have difference makers at WR and I'm not sure who Georgia has that can break the game open

Total offense, GA is not 3 spots ahead of Florida. Unreal. I expected them to be much more physical and to have established the run. They are meatyokra through three.

People are willing to slack at a part time job as it’s not as valuable as someone’s “full time job” just by simple logic. They 100% don’t punish officials right now regardless of what they claim.

Officials should have to answer questions in a post game environment first of all, that would be a good first step in accountability.

I seriously doubt slacking is the issue. The good ole boy system is the problem. The criteria for being an official doesn't have much to do with how good you are. There are some really really amazing high school and D2 officials who are much better at officiating than a lot of P4 officials who are flat out told "don't bother applying" because they're too tall or they don't have any connections or they're older than 50 years old etc...

It's your appearance and who you know. It's not a meritocracy. They bring in the good ole boys and/or people who fit the physical appearance they're looking for, and as long as they're not so bad that the national media goes after them, they don't care how good they are at officiating.

You see crews who make disastrous decisions trot right back out the next week unless it's so bad that ESPN anchors are calling them out.

So making it a full time job wouldn't help, in my opinion. The problem is at the top and the lack of concern that conference leaders have in making sure the officiating is as good as possible. If they had try outs and hired based solely on merit (they don't), things would be much better.

Completely agree with everything you said McGill. Ohio St. was eating them alive in that playoff game but blew it.

The thing that does bother them (OSU, LSU, is an elite QB, offensive scheme, MATCHED WITH elite talent across the board). NFL level WRs, TEs, RBs, and OL. We are getting much closer to that OSU and INSANE LSU offensive talent across the board in those respects.

Folks have to remember 2022 was literally Hype's 2nd season and the roster was gutted in many ways. This and next year will be a better gauge.
