DeBoer stated last night that 10 key injuries influenced the results of Bama's last four games. Which injuries were really that critical and who is realistically expected to return by the 19th?
Bama lost to 1/6 of the CFP field before they even book their flight to Norman.

It also represents the opportunity to perhaps host an additional on-campus game and draw additional TV revenue.

With ESPN as sole media rights holder, it's surprising few are speculating the committee's selection for teams that bring higher viewership ratings.

Yeah well I also remember early-2000s SEC offenses running "3 yards and a cloud of dust," behind a fullback. Saban forced his staff to adopt modern speed and spread after A&M moved in and brought the spread with Sumlin. Then Auburn rehired Gus Malzahn to tool their offense and beat Alabama in the 2013 Iron Bowl, while Ole Miss went uptempo with Hugh Freeze.

B12 Texas and OU may not have been as deep or athletic in the trenches as SEC teams were at that time but they had speed and creativity on offense to move the ball at a time when the SEC hadn't yet modernized.

The revisionist history is kinda funny. A Bob-Stoops-led team would still consistently rack up 9-3 type seasons. His last year coaching led OU to a 35–19 win over #14 Auburn in the Sugar Bowl.

Sark knew the personnel assignment moving into the SEC and had the 'Horns ready before their first year in the conference, dishing out one of Saban's last OOC losses in 2023.

Playing up (and down) to competition was a glaring weakness of both programs during the B12 twilight years. 2017 OU went on the road to beat #2 Ohio State, 31–38, but narrowly lost to Iowa State just three weeks later. 2019 Texas played LSU closer than the rest of the SEC did-- that game ended 38-45 from a busted play 3rd-and-17, when Burrow connected with Jefferson. Texas later lost to OU in Dallas and TCU in Fort Worth that year.

The potential in both programs was always there; now both are better for SEC weekly competition.

None of this hand-wringing makes a shite. Let the committee and Disney work with worse TV ratings for the CFP and win the transfer portal.

And everyone knows they got lucky to play OU with an injured QB, which is why Texas has been ranked behind OU since they both had 2 losses. Not one poll, not one… has had Texas over OU since both have had 2 losses.


Congrats on beating Bama and Tennessee on the road.

Mateer was good for 3 INTs in Dallas, he was good for 3 INTs on Gaylord Focker Field last night. If Texas played them again today, the result would be the same.

Depending on the results of the SEC CCG, the conference may send a healthy and ready UGA to the bye while paper tiger aTm, turnover machine OU, and rudderless Ole Miss get bounced.

Texas may end up going to Orlando to play USC, so you'll be entertained either way.

Lincoln Riley to Texas??


Kliff Kingsbury would be a riot to see the SEC but I don't believe he has the network to fill out a proven assistant/staff program. He's hamstrung in Washington and wants to HC again.

In order for Sark to lose his job he must’ve been caught with a dead girl or a live boy.


There are three or four events chronicling his departure and three of those occured before the first snap of the 2025 season. Most glaring are his 30 days of absence following the Cotton Bowl, backed by the results of this season and Saturday night in Athens.

The only way this works without losing talent is to pull the cord before the last game of the year or to announce his replacement at the same time.

There's not a whole lot of difference in these rosters. This game should've been close with a slight edge to OSU.

Don't think either was getting outcoached. Sark nutted up at the goal line at the end.

I feel like I owe this bar a round of beers. :cheers:

Who's gone and who's buying them among the little-sisters-of-the-poor in the SEC who can't keep their own offense roster? Better stop Ohio State from buying them like they did with Caleb Downs and Quinshon Judkins.
Sankey didn't return his calls. :doublebird:

There's an Arch package for this, it worked at A&M, yet he pulls that cute shite
That's a fking screen, you useless nutless tree. Sending a corner blitz when it should be prevent is what allowed Henderson to score.

SEC CCG never mattered; 2012 checks out.

OP would call a failed 2-pt conversion in the first quarter and earn two sideline infractions because his ankle biter DAWG couldn't keep him off the field.
