I liked what I saw. It's all in the finer details since he didn't light it up with big numbers. He made smart choices, not flashy ones. He threw some passes across the field that were on the money -- those are harder than most think. Sure, he didn't throw many away and we didn't have the...

I still think a lot of the anger was simply because of "what could have been" given his physical skill set being off the charts. If he made decisions as fast as Hooker and had an aggressive "gamer" mentality -- his stats would have been other worldly. In the end, he was a solid QB, but far...

Yeah, we're just in a tough spot because the next dynasty is in our conference and we play them every year. This compounds things because it prevents UT from winning their division or conference -- which feels like a bigger loss. So with that said, I shift how I look at things. I expect UT to...

Anything is possible, but it doesn't seem probable. This team has a mixture of talent levels with varying degrees of depth that can't always overcome the inconsistency or mistakes. If you have elite talent, you can overcome a sluggish game or some inconsistent play. We're getting there: we...

I think the overall final score didn’t surprise me, but how the game went did. I would have never guessed we would dominate in the first half, yet barely find the end zone. Then our O and D completely leave the stadium and letting them rattle off 27 straight. So 34-20 is not shocking, how it...

Maybe this explains the "safer" pass plays and fewer mid to long range (less consistency). I suspect CJH feels the smaller yardages per play is less impactful than potential clock stoppages. Playing to the soldiers you have, not the soldiers you want.

This feels like the identity of the team. Fewer huge plays, bigger running game, aggressive D. Obviously if one of those components fail we can be vulnerable but when it clicks — we’re solid and can beat some teams. When it’s not, we struggle. Good win, restored some optimism.

Yep - and to do that, they factor in far more than the play on the field and final score. They factor in psychology (everyone loving Colorado), popular teams with loyal fan bases (skewing betting, and all sorts of things that I probably can't even understand. However, purely anecdotally, when...

He’s got that Kamara look. Shifty, does a good job of shrugging off contact, and is quicker than you’d guess by his patience.

UT is too much of an enigma for me to bet on them right now. I took them against UVA - but haven't touched them since. And for the record, I will bet against UT if I think it's the right call (I know how sacrilegious that sounds) but I can't just figure them out.

I’m confused. This offense is CJH’s design — and we are here thinking he’s just reverted to remedial play calling and is now conservative? None of that makes any sense to me. The only real answer is we don’t have the players to execute those plays. Now, an argument can be made that they are...

I mean….

Man, I needed this. I’ve been scrolling through all the BS, feeling miserable, and to read this —- I can’t stop laughing. Sometimes you just gotta say it.

It’s scary how accurate this might be.
