Now give the synopsis as though you've actually watched TCU play. They have fallen behind in most of their games - big. They have knocked out multiple starting QBs. Ironically, if they had knocked out Texas's QB, they probably lose. 😂 They don't pass the eye test. Their D didn't stop Texas. Texas's offense was awful! They stopped themselves.

I'd take Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri to beat them.

Especially if they had to play them back to back.

A lot of chatter in the below linked thread about a potential mass exodus of players and Stoops/Sexton back channeling for jobs elsewhere...

My son asked me if I wanted to go to a FFDP concert a few weeks ago in our area. Honestly, I like their music, but I don’t think I would for a whole concert. Give me Pop Evil, Disturbed, Godsmack, Architect, BMTH, etc. I’m there.
Click to expand...

FFDP has really fallen off in the last 7 years and I've never liked any of their albums all the way through but they have about 15-20 songs that absolutely kick ass.

My Nemesis, Coming Down, Wash It All Away, Battleborn, Wrong Side of Heaven, Bad Company, The Pride, Lift Me Up, Never Enough, Stranger Than Fiction, I Apologize, A Little Off, Boots and Blood, Watch You Bleed. Jekyll And Hyde.....there's a couple of others.

I would put a greatest hits album and concert against almost any other band. Unfortunately, Ivan's (lead singer) issues with alcoholism have taken a toll.

Our Last Night isn't for everyone but they have 50 - 60 original songs that are very good to great and they have about 80 covers of pop, hip hop and other songs that are all mostly great. I can't think of another band that has 500 - 600 minutes of great metal or any other kind of music. They got a record deal in middle school with Epitath Records and eventually went independent in 2014 and developed their sound.

They are only in their early late 20's or early 30's and the two singers/guitarist are brothers with the drummer being a childhood friend so they will have a staggering catalog by the time they finally hang it up. Currently starting their tour and should be playing in TN since they moved to Nashville a few years back. Fame On Fire (really good too) and another band will be opening so should be a great concert.....their 2019 tour was phenomenal. I can't wait for their show at the House Of Blues in Orlando in March and neither can my daughter!

:p I've never gotten in on ribbing you so had to take my chance. Hell, I'm 40 so definitely no spring chicken but most people think I'm early 30's. You definitely seem like somebody my wife and I would meet to toss back a couple of shots and have a fun night out with. Those other geezers you mentioned would be taking their nightly mixture of a Miralax/Ensure shake and hitting bed by 8:30 while we are just getting started.

Anyone listen to the discussion about the playoffs after the c Mich/ w Mich game?
Talked about LSU winning the SECCG and making the playoffs. Said UT would be getting penalized for the division they play in. Insinuated that LSU would get in over us, but maybe not, because there has never been a 2 loss playoff team.

Weird situation. Not sure how you leave us out with our resume and only loss coming on the road to the #1 team.

I think a lot of the playoff debates right now is just to create hype and get more views. I mean ESPN can’t just come out n say Tennessee is definitely in, if they did they would miss out on the drama and the hype around the other teams and ESPN knows this and are building stories to make it more interesting. I think we all know, if we finish off strong we’ll have a very strong resume that would be hard to deny and have another 1 loss team jump us:

It's their job to "stir the pot". In the end, the committee will pick the 4 teams that will generate the most revenue for their given interest.... Which is why we probably will need some help, but I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Texas is absolutely dominating Gonzaga.

Another interesting tidbit, apparently Texas hasn't been to a Sweet 16 since Barnes in 2008. They've had some really good coaches since Barnes got fired, and they're a top basketball program so that's shocking.

Nah …… not really….. they had Shaka smart who is extremely overrated….. they now have a great coach in Chris Beard….. it’s his second season and should have a sweet sixteen and more in the very near future.

Exactly me either, if tcu or usc loses we are in id almost guarantee it. I don’t see both teams finishing without a loss, like you I think it’ll take care of itself and we just gotta keep doing what we’re doing. Vols by fiddy baby! GBO!! 🍊🍊

Florida - 11
UGA - 11
OSU - 9
Miami - 9
Clemson - 7
Oregon - 7
LSU - 6
Vols - 6 (Nico isn't on the rosters but he might as well be one)
FSU - 4

If we flip Ramil then we add another to this list. 7

The 2016 class had 10 for reference.

While I would like to believe this - I believe it is sprinkled in Orange pixie dust. I predict he plays like the Florida QB plays - some good games and some not so good games. I don't think he understands reading defenses - he isn't even close to being on the same level mentally as Hooker.

He will have a full offseason with the coaches. He will have command of our offensive scheme and a year to develop cohesion with the receivers. He will not ever look like last years version of himself again. Milton will be the Terminator for our opponents defenses next year. Why borrow trouble and denigrate our players? “Realists” need to GTFOH. Tired of all the hand ringing, whoa is me, pitiful prognosticators. Man up buttercup or go root for someone else.

This year 13-1 🤠

Next year 15-0 🤠

Stings to see Tyrese Hunter going for 26 pts for Texas against the zags. That was the point guard who ended up transferring Texas instead of here because we supposedly didn't need him. I absolutely knew that decision would come back to bite us. I'd take him over our little PG alllllll day.

Never heard that reason. Pretty sure it was stated at the time that NIL was a reason, and he stayed in the Big 12.

I am not sure I see Bru being as fast as Hyatt. Maybe I’m wrong, but Hyatt is going to be hard to replace in the type of role he plays in because of his speed. Bru is going to be great next year as a different type of WR. More of a possession guy, I think. But hey if they can make Bru like A stronger Hyatt while being just as fast then I’m all for it!

Nah Barion has true elite speed as well. 10.4 100M guy. He's lightning straightaway just like Jalin.

body types are almost the exact same esp when you remember what Jalin looked like as a freshman.
