We're going to need to adopt the Florida Marlins championship model. Save all the monies for a decade or more, and spend it all on one year for a shot at the crown every 10-15 years.

You don't pile all those massive programs into two conferences and then tell them they have to go 10-2 or better every year to get access to the playoffs. That'll collapse in on itself instantly following the first media renegotiation. There's 100% going to be a 12-team playoff in the future...

we're only like 3 wins away from a tournament bid. We're in great shape. that's how I view the rest of the season. We've got a magic number to hit and it's 3. Anything above that is just for seeding.

Michigan may have had the same yards per play as us, but they turned that into 3.41 points per drive. We managed 2.59. Defensively, we gave up 2.62. Michigan gave up .91 points per drive. Michigan's Points per drive metrics this year were really similar to those 2009/2010 TCU and Boise squads.

We were marginally worse PPD on offense in 2023. We were considerably worse PPD on defense in 2023. That's why Gillespie was fired and Briles was retained. It's been hard to watch us play defense the last 3 years. We've been objectively bad from 21-23 on defense.

and make solid NIL bank. I'm convinced he made the wrong financial decision by going pro.

Not sure this is wise. Michigan's operation is so sophisticated this guy is likely a double agent. He's gonna give Bama a fake playbook and send all thier info to Michigan.

by the best team logic, everyone not in the future BIG or SEC is permalocked out. None of us will recruit as well as them. We'd have been replace by Bama last year by the same logic.

eh - glass houses and such on that one. We're probably not any better when it comes to saddling poor families with generational debt.

Jerry Hughes was the last time we had someone on the defensive line that other teams had to actively gameplan for.

We did run variable tempo under Riley at OC more. It defenitely felt more effective than how Briles employs it with the always fast thing.

Quantity stats/rankings aren't all that relevant to me. Let's talk about quality stats. I like points per drive - it balances out some of the pacing stuff. From 2022 to 2023: Offensively, we went from 19th(2.88) in points per drive to *39th(2.58). Defensively, we went from 60th(2.17) to...

There are no bad teams, only bad leaders. Comments such as Savion's reflect poor leadership.

Prime.

injuries have been pretty light again this year. The team's durability and conditioning doesnt seem like an issue. Kaz is doing his job.

Quitting is on leadership. The team isnt being given targets they understand or have faith they can execute. Newton said it postgame. Kstate didnt surprise us. When we got mauled the first couple drives, the team lost faith in the plan.

Coach spends too much time complaining about things outside his control (refereeing). Team spends too much time being chippy (Ego problem) and not enough building up teammates. This is a poorly led team, and it manifests in multiple ways.

That winspedia chart reminds me of good times. The TCU defense from 08-10 was beautiful. Best statistical defense in the country 3 years in a row. We jingled the keys and held up 3 fingers with the understanding that the fanbase was going to be rewarded with a negative yardage play or a...

Morris threw two redzone interceptions against colorado. Such things do tend to help the opposing team score more, and your own teams score less.

I wish we'd had just one DE of Hughes caliber then entire time we've been in the Big 12. The 2014 defense at the end of the season was the only time I can remember holding up the 3 fingers for 3rd down and it seeming to mean something the way it meant from about 05-10.
