Solid bump material right there

Maryland is make or break for Herman. Win, and an 8 win season is attainable. Lose, and they will be fighting for bowl eligibility all season.

That isn't good.

There are lots of gay men and women at A&M. They are proud of their school just like everyone else that attends A&M. They don't feel the need to go out and embarrass their school, their fellow students and former students by publicly humiliating their school on a national scale. What was supposed to be a protest against concealed carry on campus turned into one of the most vile and offensive gay pride parades known to man.

You sound like an expert.

You are right, I am an expert. I am an expert on vile and offensive public displays. I am also an expert on loyalty, honor and respect.

Pretty good write ups. Lost some good players and a bit youthful in secondary. But the depth and talent is there across the board. D Line is going to surprise some people who havent been paying attention. 2nd year in Orlando's system will pay dividends. Orlando is LEGIT.

Before that Houston, yes Houston was ranked 15th in 2016 and 23rd in 2015 in his two years there. They were 77th before he arrived.

Texas' defense was good...for the Big 12. That's not saying much, as there's hardly any defense played in that league because there's hardly any defensive talent in that league. But let's say, for argument's sake that Texas' defense was "good" last year. How are they going to replace what they lost?

It's amazing how one's frame of reference shapes their opinions. Watching the defense played in that league weekly, I guess I can see why you'd believe that. But they're not even close to what we face in this league from a talent perspective. Not even in the same universe.

I didn't say the SEC was tougher to defend. I said the SEC has much better defenses than the Big 12 does. Do you really deny that? The SEC has more talent on both sides of the ball by a HUGE margin. Are you seriously arguing otherwise? Citing a bowl game that was a virtual home game against an incredibly weak SEC East team that had lost their OC doesn't really make your case, buddy. Texas defense wasn't anywhere close to several defenses in the SEC. That's obvious to anyone who isn't a massive idiot.

Where would you have ranked last years Texas defense in the sec?

Your Friend said:

About 7th or 8th. Right where they were in both scoring and total defense.

1st half defense: 5th
2nd half defense: 10th

The last several times a Big 12 team has faced SEC teams in games that matter, the 2nd half depth of the SEC slaughters that of their big 12 opponents.

Those "SEC goal posts" that are a function of reality? Every conceivable measure available tells you that the SEC has WAY WAY WAY more talent than the Big 12 does. What I posted is EXACTLY where Texas stacked up in those measures - and they're also not facing the same level of talent when they do it. Some bull****, fringe statistic like FEI is the only measure you've cited. There is no way an honest individual who actually has any idea what they're watching would believe that Texas is better than any of the defenses listed above them in the categories I cited.

I have no idea because nobody looks at FEI. I haven't compared the two in any way. But without even doing so, off the top of my head I know that Elko had a severe talent deficiency relative to his competition when at Wake Forest. He spent one year at Notre Dame where his talent level was certainly better, but not at the top of his relative competition. By contrast, Orlando has the first or second most talented roster relative to his competition since he went to Houston.

I do know that Elko produced 2 Top 10 defenses at Bowling Green. And at Wake Forest he produced Top 40-ish defenses every year. That's despite having a talent level that ranked, on average, 12th in his conference. Care to compare that to Orlando? His talent level at Houston, on average, was 4th in his conference.

That's because you can't refute the argument.

FEI isnt some magic stat that tells the REAL story champ. And it absolutely is a fringe stat. The fact that you can't see that a stat that puts THAT Texas defense as a top SIX defense in football is seriously flawed says it all. What you WANT to be true and what actually is are clearly two very different things.

Turrible Turtles will earhole that sh*tty tu squad. Going to be a long season for you tshirt fans. I predict another Chuck Strong record... 5-7.

---

Cool. Lets revisit. And your Aggie prediction for the record?

---

Like how you sips revisited your predictions of 9-10 wins last year? Or how about the years before that? Let's be honest, you all never want to revisit those predictions.

You look at those two schedules and it's painfully obvious one reason we left the BDF, their home schedules suck. Enjoy watching that trash on your outdoor asstroturf with the other 40k that show up.


For reference, Horn 2018 schedule:
- Maryland (neutral)
- Tulsa
- USC
- TCU
- @KSU
- OU (neutral)
- Baylor
- @OkSt
- WVU
- @Tech
- ISU
- @KU

For reference, Aggie 2018 schedule:
- NW St
- Clemson
- ULM
- @Alabama
- Arkansas (neutral)
- Kentucky
- @South Carolina
- @MissSt
- @Auburn
- Ole Miss

How is the D better?

Pretty good write ups. Lost some good players and a bit youthful in secondary. But the depth and talent is there across the board. D Line is going to surprise some people who havent been paying attention. 2nd year in Orlando's system will pay dividends. Orlando is LEGIT.

When this doesn't happen, what will your username be?

The only reason my username would ever get changed is from getting banned by sensitive mods for misspelling aggie or something.

---

28, 60, 77, 10, 43. Those are Orlando's defensive rankings in his DC career. That's "LEGIT"? Ok.

---

Don't be obtuse. Texas had the number 6 defense last year according to FEI.

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/feidef

Before that Houston, yes Houston was ranked 15th in 2016 and 23rd in 2015 in his two years there. They were 77th before he arrived.

Oh yea... before that. He had Utah State ranked 15th.

Yes. Todd Orlando is ****ing legit. The Defense is going to be very good in his 2nd year at Texas.

---

Texas' defense was good...for the Big 12. That's not saying much, as there's hardly any defense played in that league because there's hardly any defensive talent in that league. But let's say, for argument's sake that Texas' defense was "good" last year. How are they going to replace what they lost?

It's amazing how one's frame of reference shapes their opinions. Watching the defense played in that league weekly, I guess I can see why you'd believe that. But they're not even close to what we face in this league from a talent perspective. Not even in the same universe.

---

Oh for ****s sake. Lmao. You aggies and your sec goal posts. Tell me... how does Elko's history rank compared to Orlando in those efficiency rankings?

I'll hang up and listen.

---

Those "SEC goal posts" that are a function of reality? Every conceivable measure available tells you that the SEC has WAY WAY WAY more talent than the Big 12 does. What I posted is EXACTLY where Texas stacked up in those measures - and they're also not facing the same level of talent when they do it. Some bull****, fringe statistic like FEI is the only measure you've cited. There is no way an honest individual who actually has any idea what they're watching would believe that Texas is better than any of the defenses listed above them in the categories I cited.

I have no idea because nobody looks at FEI. I haven't compared the two in any way. But without even doing so, off the top of my head I know that Elko had a severe talent deficiency relative to his competition when at Wake Forest. He spent one year at Notre Dame where his talent level was certainly better, but not at the top of his relative competition. By contrast, Orlando has the first or second most talented roster relative to his competition since he went to Houston.

I do know that Elko produced 2 Top 10 defenses at Bowling Green. And at Wake Forest he produced Top 40-ish defenses every year. That's despite having a talent level that ranked, on average, 12th in his conference. Care to compare that to Orlando? His talent level at Houston, on average, was 4th in his conference.

---

I stopped reading at bull**** fringe statistic lol

---

That's because you can't refute the argument.

FEI isnt some magic stat that tells the REAL story champ. And it absolutely is a fringe stat. The fact that you can't see that a stat that puts THAT Texas defense as a top SIX defense in football is seriously flawed says it all. What you WANT to be true and what actually is are clearly two very different things.

---

Want? I didnt make up the stats. They are indeed real. If you actually truly knew anything about the game of football you wouldn't dismiss these stats like you are.

Let me guess... you go off of total yardage lol.

You quote a former Texas coach? That's what you got? You really are that effing dumb.

Yes. We paid $75 million dollars over 10 years. In other words, about the same you will be paying over the same time period for Mack Brown, Charlie Strong, Tom Herman, and whomever you hire next to take over. Ours has a ring on his finger though, which is slightly more valuable than Herman's Paul Wall mouth bling.

---

Is Texas paying him? Who the **** else would know better you idiot? You mean the coach Herman beat while at Houston? You desperately paid 75 million, 10 guaranteed you mean...

Tom Herman isn't going anywhere. And again, did you buy all in on Sumlin?

---

He just jumped under the skirt of Cougar ****ing high

---

Oh, theres another head to head matchup between the two coaches we are discussing to reference. Lmao, idiot.

---

How about Tom Herman vs. Chad Morris? Kliff Kingsbury? Shall I go on?

It's absolutely hilarious that you're trying to point to a bowl game matchup where FSU's 3rd string QB was forced to play as some sort of measurement between these two when Fisher has one of the best resumes in the game and an NC ring on his finger while Herman is routinely getting waxed on the field by teams with less talent and humiliating himself and the school with his pathetic, embarrassing behavior. Guy is a complete meathead and tool and he's proving it every single day.

---

Lol... his wife takes sh*ts hotter than yours.

Heres....Herman vs Jimbo. You want to play for this coach. And the elite teams are coming.

---

The game that Jimbo played his 8th string QB that was clearly in over his head?

Looking at the FEI stats, the offensive FEI seems to be the one that matters more. The teams with the better records generally had better offensive FEI while the defensive FEI didn't seem to influence the overall win/loss record nearly as much. I would have thought that the defensive FEI would be reflected in the overall record more.
