"Oh what the fuck. Oh my god no..."
Also caught him saying "horse shit" a little earlier.
Pretty sure he was saying: "Give me on chance, I'll treat you like a princess"
It's how spread offenses work. The offenses run so many plays and spread the D so far out that as the game goes on and players tire you start getting open recovers 10-12 yards downfield.
The problem with these style of offenses is that your defense is on the field too much bc of quick-strike offenses (and pass heavy games extending the total # of plays).
These offenses tend to be bad at ball control and killing clock with a lead. So you just have to keep scoring and scoring to stay ahead. Last night is pretty typical. All Texas needed was one stop to tie the game and couldn't get it. Not that LSU could stop Texas in the 2nd half either.
My friend was there and they kept the beer gardens open thru the entire delay at least (or at least for a good portion of it).
A great example of how to beat teams like this is the semi final from last season. Bama stopped OU three or four times and got out front cause OU couldn't stop a wet fart and OU was never able to fully catch back up even though they played really well the rest of the game.
So if/when LSU runs into a team that has a D and can control the ball some, it will be the real test, cause there are some offenses that can out gun them and several defenses built to handle that kind of offense. They will be talked up a bunch and not tested until October
To be fair, OUs defense is fucking garbage. I think LSU has a solid D. They will get stops.
Sam was having to thread some needles into tight windows. Texas Online also bought him some time. A worse oline and LSU can get pressure which will change things up.
Not having a run game will be their undoing.
Not to mention they have Auburn ahead of all of them too. With the way their offense is looking they shouldn't even be in the top 25.
Reporting back from the trenches!
7:36 PM: Huskies enter the field from the tunnel, a few minutes from game start. No rain. Things were mostly normal, lots of purple smoke. I don't remember seeing Puppy Dubs run out with everyone, not sure what's going on there.
Five minutes into the quarter, the players suddenly leave the field. The jumbotron indicated that people should leave the stands for the shelter of the concourse.
Flashes became visible in the sky to the north, then soon to the south as well. They started playing the Imagine Dragon's song "Thunder" on the speakers, because why not.
I didn't really want to fight through the crowds into the concourse, so I was near the tail end of the evacuation.
8:20 PM: Rain had rapidly picked up.
Shortly before I went through the tunnel into the concourse, huge forks of lightning struck to the north and the field lighting went out at the same time. I don't think that the two events were related, but it looked super cool.
The video displays and strips were still on, and set to display as Purple Reign banners.
Husky Stadium was a surreal scene, shiny with wetness and misty with rain, glowing purple, flashes of light exploding across the sky.
The concourse was initially packed. People trickled out steadily during the hours of the delay. Many of them didn't get anywhere very quickly; the parking lot overlooked by our concourse was a disastrous traffic jam.
9:33 PM: The Cal band was in the section next to ours, they sat in a blob on the concourse floor during the delay.
The concession stand pictured above, the Flying Taco, remained open during the storm. Hungry, and with no end in sight, we grabbed some pulled pork nachos and plopped down on the floor next to the Cal band. This truly was Pac 12 After Dark.
10:18 PM: People were re-entering the stands, and the game would soon resume. The nachos had been poor hydration, so I went up to the concourse to refill on water. The Cal band had stood up and was playing music. Although the stadium had become quite empty, enough people remained to make it look like a busy-ish scene.
Then the game happened.
Husky play-calling reminded me of last year's Cal game, especially during the first half. The freshman-heavy defense clearly needs work on tackling. Outside of tackling, it felt like the biggest challenge for the defense was that Greg Gaines is no longer around to free up defenders by single-handedly keeping the entire offensive line occupied.
Oh well. Rainbow Warriors next week! Go Huskies!

Hell to the yeah.
That said, I'm getting antsy to see us play a real team.
Indeed. I quit watching UGA vs Murray State at halftime when it was 42-7.
Well don't you worry then because the next few years we play the following OOC - Oregon (20,21) Notre Dame (22,23) Washington (24,25) Texas (25,26)
Also UC was expected to give a much better game than they did they went 11-2 last season. Outside of them though the OOC sucks for sure, however the middle of our schedule is brutal.
the only way to get more games like this is if you move to conference champions playing in the playoffs

Big noncon series are actually coming back because of lowered attendance. Turns out it's hard to sell season tickets to a slate of cupcakes.

Florida playing a noncon road game outside the state? I'll be there with bells.

I was coming here to show these great Tennessee/Titantic comparison quotes, but they got rid of the evidence PAWWWWL.
I never thought I'd reach that point in my lifetime where I actually expect my team to "just beat everyone" they play. Alabama, A&M, LSU, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ohio State, etc.
Like I said, it's weird. It doesn't matter who you put them up against. I expect to win. That use to be a laugh and a dream.
Now I just spend my days hoping we don't get lazy/sleep on a game when we shouldn't. Old Clemson (I've been a fan since I was a kid), would beat a top 10 team then lose to SC State or some nobody. It's hard to let go of that past, haha.

Under Swann:
Number of bowl game wins: 1
Number of athletic dept employees arrested: 3
I assume it's related to the Felicity Huffman/Lori Laughlin stuff.
I was there at the end of the Bowden Era and I still clench up early in games. I'm thinking it's a lifelong mental scar.
considering that your name is an REM song, it'd be treasonous otherwise.
