Week 2
« on: September 07, 2021, 12:16:29 PM »
The 2nd week has a couple of very interesting games.
Texas is a 6.5 pt favorite over Arkansas in Fayettenam.  Great to see an old rivalry resumed.  Relatives in Fayetteville and Ft Smith are saying the Hog fans are going crazy.  Should be fun.
Iowa St is a 3.5 pt favorite over Iowa.  Is Matt Campbell going to get his first win over the Hawkeyes?
TCU is a 9.5 pt favorite over Cal..
OSU is a 12.5 pt favorite over Tulsa.
KU is a 27.5 pt dog against Coastal.
OU has Western Carolina  on a PPV game.
TT is playing SFA, going for win #2.

I've been to Fayettenam wearing burnt orange on a football gameday.  It's like... well... nothing else in the world.

Horns move up to #15, Sooners drop to #4, ISU drops to #9 in AP poll.  OSU and TCU are just outside the top 25.

I don’t have a good feeling about this CU game. I know they have not had a great team lately but we’ve lost some big games in Colorado through the years.

It was close, Gigem, but it was a win.
UT looked very bad against the Razorbacks, especially on the offensive side of the ball.  
ISU didn't look much better in their loss to Iowa. Turnovers were their problem.
Sooners romped against a completely outmatched WCU as they should.  Can't really tell much except they were sharper on execution this time.  Baylor and WVU both had easy victories as well.

WVU had a real challenge.  Not in beating the LIU-Post Sharks, but in figuring out who they were.

I wish that the Big 12 would adopt a policy banning games with FCS schools.

I wish the same for the SEC.  Save us from ourselves.

We’ve played better and lost. Fr QBs, inexperience in the OL. Looked like our defense was falling apart at first but they tightened up. 

Not surprised at the Ark/ Tex game. They will be a tough out for us in two weeks.

FCS teams are not different in my mind from lower G5 teams, any truly good P5 team will trounce either.  I watched most of UGA-UAB yesterday, it was an unequal contest obviously, and had UAB been FCS, no difference really.  It's interesting how often a highly ranked team can struggle with some lower G5 team.

It was hard to tell which sucked worse, offense or defense.  Sucking sucks.

Gonna be a long season for Texas.  Gonna be a long 4 years until we fire this guy and hire the next poser.

Is it basketball season yet?

I was trying to catch the UT/Arky game between breaks in the OU game so I didn't get a complete picture.  It looked like Arky was just overrunning the Texas OL.  Every time I saw a shot of Sarkisian, he was squatting on the sideline, not talking to coaches or players.  Was he that way the whole game?
