Losing both lines of scrimmage again. Throw in undisciplined D and an offense stuck in 1986, and the crap product in the field speaks for itself. I'm out. If rather watch my dog shit on the lawn.

Re: Game 6 vs WVU (2024)

Their FG kicker hit from 45 already that could've been good from 55. So a 30 yard kick is a chip shot. So 4th and 2, chip shot, play for the fake!!! It was so fucking obvious the fake was coming. But our coaching staff? Fucking morons!

Not surprised with UCONN. Not sure the math works out. UCONN certainly adds value for both men's and women's basketball. But the rest of their athletic department leaves plenty to be desired, and they add travel costs to a good portion of the conference which is centered around the state of Texas.
