ou is going to be tested this week when they have to travel to lubbock. just watch. and to call k-state anything less than a good team is ridiculous. after losing to ou (and losing several key personnel to injuries) they hit a losing skid. had they not been so devastated by injuries, they would probably be sitting somewhere in the top ten. florida is still the team to beat. a UF-Neb rose bowl would be one helluva game, much better than the ass-whooping miami would be delivered if they found themselves facing either team.

Dino: "Alright, god dammit, let's go deep"
R.C.: "Soooo....looks like we're running up the middle again."
Dino: "No, no, that's not what I said. Go deep!"
R.C.: "Alright fellas, up the middle. Let's do it. I can smell 1 yard! 3rd and 8, here we come! Where the fuck is Scates?"
Scates: "Right here coach. Damn, my leg is getting sore."
R.C.: "Shut up Scates. Now get ready for your 10th punt."

I have a friend who works for the athletic office and she told me this...Dino (our Offensive Coordinator) called 17 plays last game, and 14 were overridden by Slocum. Makes you wonder..

Top to bottom, the SEC is better than the Big XII. The Big XII has its share of powerhouses, but you do pickup more gimme wins than an SEC team. I think Florida should be #1 if they win out(including the SEC championship which will be against Auburn if both teams take care of business). Florida being #1 is also contingent upon a Nebraska loss either to CU or later in the Big XII championship game. I see Miami slipping up in one of their last three games which are all against top 25 teams.

To elaborate a little bit more, my personal choice based on record and teams beat for #1 is Florida. I realize you can't put a top tier team with 1 loss ahead of a top tier team with no losses in the rankings, but based on teams beat -- Florida has not only beat, but whooped up on: Mississippi State, LSU, South Carolina, and was never really tested against Georgia. Now, there's always the debate on whether the east coast teams really are legit contenders compared to Big 12 counterparts. But as good as a Texas, a Oklahoma, and a Nebraska have looked this season, they haven't been tested very often. Nebraska will be tested at Colorado as always. Texas will be tested here. Oklahoma won't be challenged again until the Big 12 Championship game. But look at Florida. Not only have they beat those 4 teams listed above, they've beat the rest of the teams (with the exception of a good Auburn team), by an average of 44 points. Now I know beating up Vanderbilt by 58 isn't anything special, but when you see a team like Miami get tested by BC and a team like OU get tested by K-State, it starts to mean something. I don't see how, if Florida wins their next two games against Florida State and Tennessee, that they can NOT be ranked #1 in the nation.

Yeah and Jim MacMahon went to BYU. Oh wait, you said "good" QB's...

I just feel like ranting more against Jolie, and I shall. A player wants to pick a system that is right for him. If you are an option QB and want to run a lot, you aren't going to Florida. If you are a player that wants to drop back and throw the ball more, you are not going to Nebraska. Of course, I am sure you know all of this since you have proven your vast football knowledge.

Pulling starts on Monday by classification. The schedule is listed here from the TAMU site. As far as price goes, that generally depends on your classification. A senior pass is worth a lot more than a freshman pass. If you are looking for a place to sell it, check out MyHobbes.com. Then, go to the forums.

First, I must correct myself. BYU plays in the Mountain West which is comprised of teams that split away from the WAC. Second, players choose colleges for different reasons. Maybe he likes the coach. Maybe he likes the campus. Maybe he likes knowing that he would be "the guy" for BYU for as many years as he chooses to stay. And it's not like BYU has never produced any good QB's. Steve Young went there.

When is pull day for the UT game? Does it start Monday? What prices are people generally getting for their sports passes?

Probably tired of your complete ignorance and tiresome rambling about shit you don't know about or shit people don't care about. I know I don't know much about football, hence the reason I don't talk about it much. I also know that no one wants to know about my relationships or about how much I love/hate girls (depending on what has happened w/in the last 5 minutes before posting) because I know no one cares.

Plus I am sure they play to win, not just to not lose like Slocum. Yeah I see why go there instead of here, but for a career I mean OU, Nebraska, go to the damn SEC and play in Florida. Better career move, there is something wrong with this boy.

byu is also the oldest team in the country, with 21 players 24 and older (yes, i got that out of SI). its men vs. boys when byu plays. uts schedule is extremely weak this year, not having to play k-state or nebraksa. their only hope is for tech (who has arguably the toughest schedule in the big XII) to knock off ou, sending ut into the championship game (provided sims doesnt choke in kyle field). if they beat nebraska, they deserve a shot at the national title against florida (who is head and shoulders above overrated miami).

What is wrong with him??

Are you blind? I said that they have a weaker schedule. I also pointed out that they did sign the #1 QB recruit in the nation.

dude they don't play good teams, but whatever you know

Jolie, what kind of fucked up crack are you smoking? Notre Dame being a Catholic school does not hurt their recruiting. By that same logic, BYU's recruiting should be hurt because of their affiliation with Mormonism. Currently, BYU is a top ten team in the nation(Yes, I know they play a weaker schedule in the WAC) and has signed the #1 QB recruit in the nation.

You can't really say how good Simms is based on where Texas is ranked. Texas is ranked where they are based on speculation and a Big 12 - comparitively easy schedule. I'm not saying Texas isn't a good team... But had they started the season ranked say... 15... They'd still be around #9 or so in the country right now. Like I said, I think UT is a great team this year, but who have they beat to justify being ranked as high as they are? They beat Colorado, that is about it. A "close game" against OU really doesn't amount to anything, as if the rankings were based on how many "close losses" you had, a team like Fresno State would still be ranked highly.

Chris, Baby don't think I love you any less. I just call it how I see it.

Simms is good, but he chokes under pressure, which makes him not so good. In order to be a great QB you have to be able to handle the pressure. We'll see what happens when he visits Kyle. I mean the Aggie 12th Man puts a lot of pressure on the visiting team. We'll see if he can handle it. Its not the fact that we don't have talent, its the damn coaching. You think of the great football teams you have 3 in Florida alone UF, FSU, and Miami. I hate all three. Big XII you have OU and Nebraska. You might be able to throw texas in there some where. But those 5 teams always have had a long term of winning records (ok well you have to go back to the golden ages of OU with Switzer, but its classicly a winning team). Notre Dame is in the classics, but they aren't as good as everyone wants them to be. Plus its a Catholic School, how many awesome athletes are willing to be upstanding in the religous aspect? There is no reason why we shouldn't be up in the stats with the talent we have.

reggie is good, but watch ou's big signee from leander, paul thompson. every college scout that went to watch reggie also stopped by to see paul and were more impressed with him. im not saying reggie isnt good. hes going to be awesome. but again ou stole the best talent out of texas.

i cant wait for reggie to get here...#2 qb in the country baby...r.c. can get the players to come here but he fucks them over when they get here...make him the a.d. and get me a fucking coach with balls. he took the teams from jackie and made a name for himself, thats all he did. players come to A&M because of what we used to be and our defence hoping that we will have a breakout season like ou did last year. i know we have injuries, but thats no excuse, we should be a top 5 team again. if only we could play all our games at kyle...

i loved the td call on the fake field goal, apparently the 3 yard line and the goal line are in the same place...GiG 'EM refs!!

oh, my bud nick dunked his ring in 8, yes i said 8, seconds (for all you non-ags that means he chugged a pitcher of beer in 8 seconds)

time to pass out...

I think my favorite moment of the season was Applewhite throwing the ball into the stands today. Very cool. He was an incredible athelete, and you do have to wonder what he could have done with the cast Simms has now. At any rate, I don't think you can call one better than the other. Simms choked, but has since then seemed to get himself under control. I wouldn't call playing Colorado a cakewalk--definitely not OU or the game they're facing at Kyle, but certainly more challenging than LCC or Kansas.

yeah, all applewhite did was earn big XII offensive player of the year after his sophomore year. who knows how he would have done had he been throwing to williams and armstrong and had a running back like benson to take some of the pressure off. simms only looks good for two reasons: 1)he has an excellent supporting cast, and 2)he hasnt played anyone. the only game texas has played against a formitable opponent (ou) he choked, throwing 4 ints.

i think simms is holding his own. i think hes turned into a great qb since the ou loss. this is his first year at the helm, and hes doing better than applewhite ever did. texas was never ranked this high under applewhite, simms set record for td's in season, hes fine.
