NCAA GDT: Week 2: Big Noon With the Big Horns at the Big House

[spintheblackcircle]

I will say this. Texas has always been high in recruiting rankings but watching the players they didn’t look different.

The players sark is getting and developing look different. These guys are just big, fast, strong.

After the first drive yesterday, I looked at my buddy and was just like ‘we are going to dominate them. We have the better scheme, severely more athletic then these guys’

To be fair to TTUN, they lost 18 of 22 starters and Texas brought back 15 of 22, so of course they will look more like a complete team.

They are better, but I bet if this was played week 10, it would be closer.

A holiday inn was 4 grand for 4 nights when I last looked.

Good f***ing god

The game is quite literally on my 30th birthday. So was really down to go but, not going to take out a life savings for it. Maybe I’ll do the return trip to Athens

Or make the trip to Columbus next year

Imagine spending $4k to stay at a Holiday Inn.

What a moron, not shocking though, the offensive line is going to let him get his shit rocked every game moving forward

We had 11 drafted as well, replaced our entire WR core, the two best defensive tackles in football last year.

That game wouldn’t been close no matter when we played.

Yeah, this is the stuff that’s going to sink him. I could see a team rolling the dice later in the first round, because he does have the skills, talent, and football IQ, get the 5th year option. Some believe he has the on-field leadership, for all the things that happen, the players on the field don’t quit. But throwing teammates under the bus publicly - the flags don’t get redder.

Some will blame this on added scrutiny because of who he is, but it’s hard to deny what’s out there on video. Quinn Ewers, Carson Beck, Drew Allar, Cam Ward, and anybody else who is serious about the NFL won’t have this because they’ll never say that.

But the Raiders are capable of anything.

He’s probably going to be terrible at interviews as well.

Missouri always overpromises and underdelivers, but I think they are going to be the opposite this year. 2-0 with 2 shutouts.

they should only have 1 loss this year. Think they’ll be favourite in all but one game

Sharing cheapo Illini season tickets paid off yesterday.

Texas ranked #2

 

[DaveG]

Texas ranked #2

right now there's a pretty clear top 3 then everyone else. Would have killed for a 2006-07 type year but we have a pretty good idea of who 3 of the 4 semifinalists are going to be before anyone's played 3 games.

 

[GKJ]

What do you think is more: the #1 votes Texas got, or the #25 votes Northern Illinois got?

 

[End of Line]

Is this the earliest a MAC school has been ranked in a season? Honestly surprised Syracuse didn’t a get a top 25 spot.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Penn State should have dropped a few notches after barely getting by Bowling Green. And if the people voting had any balls they would have dropped Notre Dame out of the top 25 completely. Having them only 6 spots from a playoff spot is a disgrace.

 

[Tony Romo]

Bowling green has a bye week and then faces A&M, YIKES

They would have but two teams jump them, and I’m not terribly sure why Mizzou did at all other than the fact they beat the brakes off of their MAC opponent. Tennessee should be ahead of both, they crushed a better team.

I'd have put The U at #8, Oregon at #9 & Penn State at #10. But its still early so it will all work itself out.

I'll be at that game

Could be about as bad of a start for A&M as we could imagine, ND losing to NIU was a death knell for our early season playoff hopes

Hopefully we take care of business. There's still a world where we can win 9 games.

 

[Tony Romo]

Texas only faces 2 more ranked teams for the rest of the season. That Oklahoma and Georgia back to back is going to be spicy.

It's in 2 weeks, but OU is favourited against Tennessee???? by 3.5???????? Buddy, my kids are about to learn Harvard tuition paid for.

I agree the real UT should be favored, but OU is scary with an actual defense. Especially if Arnold can start playing like we all know he's capable of.

Got a frosh QB on the road I guess.

I beg your pardon?
