By far the most interesting week in the Big 12 so far this season.

Tech-OU and Texas-TCU are fairly pivotal games, and I'm not confident at all in our ability to play well on the road yet, so ISU scares me... a little.

Also wondering if Baylor will be able to remotely replicate what they do at home on the road... even if it is against Kansas.

I think I've already mentioned it once but it's crazy to think that there has only been a single game between any of the teams currently in the top 5 of the Big XII (UT, OU, OSU, BU, and TTU). Baylor's only had one game thus far, also in Kansas against KSU, and they struggled a bit. Baylor has scored 69, 70, 70, 73, 71, 35, and 71 points in their games this season, and that lone sub-69 points game was on the road at KSU. Weather is going to be about 15-20 degrees lower than they're used to, and it's a night game, so that could add some intrigue, but at the end of the day it's Kansas. They play hard IMO but they just don't have the horses. I said before the season that I think KU will surprise somebody this season (play hard + so much new JUCO talent) but they're running out of opportunities to make me right.

Apparently Casey Pachall will be back for TCU against Texas tomorrow.

Makes that game much more interesting, IMO.

Adds some interest, yes, but Pachall didn't look all that good before he got hurt. I don't think he'll make too much of a difference. Better passing ability than Boykin is a plus but rust from all the time off last season + missed practice this season at a bare minimum will equalize that IMO.

Every year. And still, he remains.

That's what you think. Just wait until we fire Richt and get Saban as our head coach, Jon Gruden as our offensive coordinator, Kirby Smart as our defensive coordinator, and Mike Leach as our special teams coach. Pay me $9.95 to find out more.

It's possible. It's also hard to overstate how bad Boykin has been this season.

Any kind of positive change at QB could really improve their chances.

I hear they don't really care what Mike Leach coaches, they just want him there. I hear Mike Leach doesn't care where he's coaching, so long as they have a fully stocked liquor cabinet in his office.

I think Coach Leach would prefer a fully stocked cabinet of kodiak to the liquor.

When Saban wants something done, it will be done

Alabama suspends 20 of 36 block seating sections in Bryant-Denny Stadium for Tennessee game

13629856-large.jpg

Block seating emptied out early in the second half of the Alabama vs. Georgia State game. (Ben Flanagan/al.com)
Click to expand...

n the Student Organization Seating handbook, updated in July 2013, "excessive tardiness or early departure from the stadium" is listed as "unacceptable behavior."

According to the handbook, an organization's first offense would result in the loss of block seating for the next conference game and the second offense would result in the loss of seating for all remaining games.

Byu by 7.

Pachall is cleared according to media reports, not starting. Not sure how much time he'll see
Click to expand...

Same as I've been hearing. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play much at all, personally, though you would probably know better than me.

It's Georgia State. Who gives a shit?

EDIT: Actually, it sounds like a fucking con to sell tickets twice. What a buncha horse shit.

Huh? They still have their tickets, they just no longer have huge blocks of seating reserved specifically for their members.

The pressure of choosing an off season OT thread title is already getting to me and I'm only tied for first in the pick-em.

PS: I'm tied for first

That's for the bowl pick 'em.

I don't think you get shit for winning the regular season, just like regular football.

Really hurts to lose Sorenson. Or secondary is already paper thin. Glad he's okay, but he got knocked out cold. He's done for the game.
