Arena 2023-24 NCAA Football Discussion

UT = University of Texas

 

Man, tonight's game against Clemson just won't be the same without Woody there to punch one of them...

 

Does that video exist without the music? I'd like to sorta hear what's going on.

 

If it's Yakity Sax, it's probably appropriate...

 

Which is worse so far ... the defenses or the referees?

 

I guess one defense decided to show up. Blah

 

Ugh. I don't think I'm gonna make it to the end of these games tonight. I can't wait to get back to Central time zone. This East Coast stuff is awful.

 

Ugh. Awful interception to seal it.

At least I won't have to hear Matt Miller say "Buckaroo" anymore

 

Urban Meyer totally blew the end of that game after the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty at :31. That forced second down with the clock stopped. Clemson kneeled anyway. Meyer had two timeouts in his pocket. He should have called timeout after the kneel, stopping the clock at (I'm going to be generous to Clemson here to illustrate how stupid Meyer was) :28 for third down. Another kneel and and the final timeout would have forced Clemson to punt the ball with :25 on the clock, and then the Bucks can get as many as two or even three offensive snaps. Instead he let them run out the clock. What an idiot.

 

Something good finally happens to Mizzou!!!!

 

In reference to my previous post, it's been brought to my attention elsewhere that ESPN's score display that showed two timeouts for Ohio State may have been incorrect and that they may have only had one timeout remaining. If that's the case, then Urban Meyer is not stupid, but somebody in the TV truck is.

 

tu = the secular university in Austin.

Unfortunately, I proved to be prophetic .

I knew his name was in the mix, but I figured he was a second-tier candidate given that he didn't have any ties to the school or any strong ties to the region that I know of (I know he played at Central Arkansas). From Texas' perspective they get a solid up and comer who has paid his dues. From Strong's perspective, you go to one of the Shangri-La's of college football (but he's also under a much stronger microscope now than he ever was or would be at Louisville). But with Bridgewater headed for the pros this is as good a time as any for Strong to move on.

 

Dammit. Being reported that Art would've bolted Baylor and gone to Texas had they offered him the job straight up instead of just an interview.

Strong is an interesting choice, if it goes thru. I read that he's the complete opposite of Mack, in that he doesn't like doing media or dealing with the boosters. Considering doing tons of media for Longhorn Network is in the job description, I'm shocked he's considering taking the job.

 

Strong may come to regret it, but I can totally understand why he took it. These guys are all Type-A personalities, and always looking for the next challenge. And given how quickly fortunes rise and fall in college football, he may have thought a chance like this wouldn't come around again for a long time, if ever.

I wish him the best, but he's got a real challenge ahead of him.

 

Can't imaging coaching at an institution or athletic dept as arrogant as texas. And add the albatross of the longhorn network and there are many better jobs.

There are reasons why texas couldn't get into the PAC12.

Funny ... others would view it as "there are reasons the Pac 12 couldn't get Texas"

Texas is a top ten job in the country. If you want to win a national championship, it's one of the few jobs where you will have access to needed resources and recruits.

Plus, factor in how much West Virginia struggled going to the Big XII. Jimbo Fisher has FSU set for another long run of greatness. At Louisville, the ceiling is somewhere around "contend for a conference title during down years for the Seminoles." At Texas, there is no ceiling

 

The PAC flat out rejected texas.

One of the few jobs where you have needed resources and recruits? Is that why texas has so many Big 12 titles? A TV network doesn't make a goodjob. And that doesn't even consider texas's fair weather fans.
