Prieskhorn did his usual 1 catch per game averaging $100,000 ish a game

The way we've underutilized his is criminal. Our refusal to really utilize him and Bentley are the biggest what ifs from the year.

Are we underutilizing him or is he just not getting open?

Nobody knows . There’s no reason for anything this offense does . It’s so hamscram and maddening

Should be noted(moral victory-esque) that our offensive line played very well until the center went out.

3 one score game this season and we lost all of them

And we won 75 percent of one score games under Kiffin before this year.

As much as people like to talk about being clutch, one-score games usually even out close to 50-50 over the long haul, even for excellent teams.

The lesson here isn't that we can't win close games The lesson is when you have chances to step on an opponent's throat, you don't squander them.

I'll tell you who has a tough job right now is Walker jones. The people with fu money will still give but tough to get the rest of the fanbase to give money so a juice wells can get $100k to come play here.

Money much better spent elsewhere in your personal life or to charity.

People are very reactionary right now. They’re understandably pissed but realistically, this is far and away the best the program has been since Vaught.

This. We had two opportunities to put them away. Still can’t believe we muffed that punt.

Would love rebelgrove or on3 or someone to pay Bentley a good chunk for a tell all podcast as To what the frick happened this season?

It would do numbers

What’s weird is I don’t feel as disappointed as I thought I would, and what I realized is because this is just par for the course with OM football so I’m used to it.

Was telling my UGA alumni best friend a little bit ago, as I’ve gotten older I’ve quit letting these kids dictate my emotional well being. Yes I’m disappointed but a decade ago, I’d be despondent in this situation now. These kids make more money than most of us ever will . I don’t feel bad for them anymore .

And during Covid when the season was almost canceled completely it really put into perspective how delicate it all is and so I was just thankful we had some football . It helped me distance myself from the emotionality of it

This is just so similar to that 2015 team. The talent to win it all but the coaching staff focused on game planning for 1 game and it cost them the rest of the season. Lost to 3 unranked teams both years.

And the last bit of irony, crazy play on 4th down and long cost us both years.

I've been begging my wife to let me move us out to Idaho or somewhere out there but getting her out of Texas is impossible.
