Tech's going to do better than UT? ...that'd be a switch.

They have a defense now (when not playing Texas!)

Ohio State? HAHAHA. Please.

Georgia HAS to be the front runner for the national championship.

Tech ALWAYS loses at least 2 games they were supposed to win. It will happen again this year.

Wait, you said Tech always loses games they were supposed to win? I must've misread....I thought you said UT.

The only reason you're laughing is because they've lost in the NC game the past two seasons. tOSU has the best offensive and defensive player in the country and they each lead a great supporting cast. tOSU will be unbeatable during conference play, their non conference game against USC is their only obstacle but thats a game I know they can win.

Because of the high and mighty who makeup the big 10, Ohio State will always be number runner for a BCS title. And like every year they will play a true talent team from the SEC. The big 10 might be the 4th strongest conference behind Pac-10, Big 12, and SEC.

Whoever wins the Florida-Georgia game has got to be a front-runner for the BCS Championship. Both of those teams are stacked. It's unfortunate we're on the road that week. I'd love to tailgate and watch the world's largest cocktail party.

Watch it there... the UF/UGA Presidents might come after you for referencing the old name "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party." It is now "The World's Largest Outdoor Event That's Not Really a Cocktail Party Party." By taking out that is really a cocktail party, all drinking and tailgating that leads to rough-housing and banter will subside.

As for the predictions, Ole Miss in the Liberty Bowl? Hell yes, Damn right! Hotty Toddy! Lets go Rebs.

Beware NT fans traveling to Red Stick (Baton Rouge) -- and no this isn't another LSU fans are the worst rant b/c that goes without saying -- the stench of CORNDOGS might follow you back.

Hilarious read.. and probably Pullitzer quality writing for an Auburn student.

62 days until the season kicks off!

I can believe that, but will they beat OK State? This is more the style of loss they go after in Lubbock.

that's what Im saying... these kinds of games are the ones Tech loves to lose. Yeah they'll beat someone they shouldnt (Texas), and they'll play hard against someone they could've (OU) but I'm not jumping on this "Tech to the national title" nonsense. Mostly because I don't think they can beat Mizzou in a Big 12 Title game. At the very least it will be an interesting new story line, which I welcome. Im kinda worn out on UT and OU dominating the Big 12.

Regarding THE Ohio State University, yes, that IS why I think they are overrated and I'd argue that is a perfectly valid reason. I think the Big 10 has been overrated and it has shown in their out of conference matchups.

As the originator of Texas douche, I still call BS.

No offense.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.

      We're considered a mid-major I believe. P5 are Big 10, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Big East.
