I was not able to watch much football last weekend so can someone just briefly answer this:

Are MissSt and/or KSU that good, or are LSU and/or OU that bad?

sorry for the cornfusion, I was quoting Afro to point out that 968 passing yards is NOT playing defense

the quote just didn't format properly
Oh no, I got that.  My post was in agreement with yours.  Those were some terrible defensive efforts we saw on Saturday.   My own team's included, obviously.

Kansas St lost to Arkansas State the week before, so KSU is probably not very good.

It's easy to bash, but there's also the fact that none of these teams had spring drills, most of them had zero or highly abbreviated summer drills, and they're also in the midst of a very stressful time. 

I can feel the psychological toll this pandemic is taking on me, and the way it's affecting my work and the work of my colleagues.  To expect 18-23-yo young people to be able to manage through that without it affecting their training and performance, would be highly unrealistic.

I suspect we will continue to see upsets and weirdness happen throughout the season.  It's really impossible for this season NOT to be strange, and deliver strange results.

I'm hoping the Huskers can pull a couple upsets!

Be a good time to make your debut as an O.C.Any swinging Richard could call plays under those conditions

Stop with your quibbling uncertainties and your faint ideals

Oh I'm not saying you're "wrong."  You defined twelving as narrowly as you liked and you like to bring it up like it's meanfingul. It's intended to disparage the defense.  We all get it.  Even the cows get it.

But Florida 51 Ole Miss 35 is not an example of "good defense" even if it doesn't meet your carefully crafted definitiion of a stupid and meaningless concept.  Nor does Miss State - LSU.  Those were games with bad defense.

It's just always super-fun to see you show your ass with stupid hypocrisy, so keep it up, it's quite entertaining.
Is it "invent shit OAM never said" week?  
Please quote where I said or hinted at or even suggested that Florida, Ole Miss, LSU, or Miss State played "good defense."  You put it in quotation marks as if I said it.  Show us where that happened.

Also, tell us more about how great a passer Ehlinger is, compared to Tebow!  I'll get some popcorn.

The funny part is that you're kind of making my "twelving" argument FOR me.  Florida and LSU give up 35 and 44 points, respectively, and it's godawful.....yet Texas gives up 56 IN A WIN, and you get pissy about me making fun of it.


Losing team scores of 35, 34......and 56.  That's 3 additional TDs.  3 additional possessions worse than the embarrassing SEC defenses gave up. 


So thanks...I guess.

I didn't say you said that.  So I have no need to show you where you said it.  I was just putting emphasis on the idea of "good defense" from the vaunted SEC.  

We're certainly in agreement that Florida, Ole Miss, LSU, and MSU all played some really shitty defense last Saturday.

So did Tech and Texas.

The difference is that one conference is constantly lauded by the mediots and general public for being a great defensive conference, and the other is jeered at by many--including you-- for having bad defense.  That's the entire purpose of your stupid "twelving" schtick.

So the point is, the B12 certainly isn't unique in playing bad defense.  Those two SEC games from last Saturday are just further evidence.  But here's a couple of the great ones from last season, the vaunted and unassailable Alabama doing it twice in one season no less!

LSU 46
Alabama 41

Auburn 48
Alabama 45

Wait, are those scores all in the 40s? Wow.  I hear there's a stupid phrase for that kind of thing.
