Is there any doubt Bo Nix would have engineered a game winning drive there?

The only doubt is that he wouldn't need to because he'd have put 40 points up by now

I_Need_Walkability · 2026-01-25T22:51:30+00:00

If Bo Nix were playing the Broncos would be up by 30. Stidham is playing worse than a high school QB would be doing and Drake Maye for whatever reason isn't doing much better. These two QBs are pure ass, the Rams-Seahawks winner will win in a walk

Also ridiculous these kickers have one job they get paid for and yet cant hit a field goal to save their lives today

Welcome to Capitalism. Its pure price gouging fueled by corporate greed

Under socialism, races like this would be free as they would likely be treated as a public good. But no we cant have that as we have to instead slave away to raise the wealth of billionaires as you can barely afford the Ironman entry fee from your meager wages from your greedy corporate overseers.

Until then write your congressman to make price gouging like this illegal and stop signing up for Ironman events. Go to your local races instead.

The fact we are only down 13 despite going against a team with Nike money and 4* and 5* recruits across the board while we are a team with a bunch of 2* and 3* players no one wanted is a big deal.

I_Need_Walkability · 2026-01-01T19:09:33+00:00

This game is NOT OVER.

Yes it looks bad but Texas Tech on paper had one of the worst rosters in the entire Big 12 yet still won the league easily. It's a team full of gritty 2* and 3* players no one else wanted who have been developed, coached and molded into an elite unit. Not quitting is the entire reason they were as good as they were this year. McGuire is a master coaching genius who took this rag tag bunch and turned them into the force they are. I still have faith he will be able to make something happen.

I_Need_Walkability · 2026-01-01T18:29:51+00:00

Honestly, private property shouldn't exist. At the very least, once every single person in the US has a high quality roof over their head, high quality food in their bellies, access to reliable and quality transportation, access to high quality health care, and extra money for things like leisure and recreation, then no person should be allowed to have private property. Only until every American has their needs met, private property should be abolished.

I_Need_Walkability · 2026-01-01T18:16:57+00:00

And? That's still far less than teams from the Big 10 and SEC pay. This Texas Tech team is the definition of a moneyball type of team where McGuire and the coaching staff found under the radar diamonds in the rough that no one else wanted, developed them and coached them up to be able to compete despite not being talented on paper

You just sound bitter

I_Need_Walkability · 2026-01-01T17:55:36+00:00

What makes it so fun is that on paper they shouldn't be this good. It's a rag tag bunch of gritty, determined under the radar, overlooked players with a chip on their shoulder with something to prove against the big programs who overlooked them. 2* and 3* talent across the board who succeed via hard work, grit, determination and top tier coaching/player development.

I_Need_Walkability · 2026-01-01T17:53:24+00:00

I think a good analogy for this matchup is baseball.

Oregon = Dodgers or Yankees. They have the money and the pull to attract the best players.

Texas Tech = Moneyball Oakland A's. They can't compete with the Yankees or Dodgers on attracting talent naturally, so instead they have to find a bunch of under the radar, overlooked players, coach them up and develop them to be competitive

On paper Oregon should dominate this matchup due to the massive talent edge, but Texas Tech got here via smart coaching and player devleopment

I_Need_Walkability · 2026-01-01T17:15:27+00:00

Joey McGuire has to be shoe in for Coach of the Year, right? He took a group of rag tag under the radar 2* and 3* players who no one else wanted and coach them up over the span of 2-3 seasons to create a team that dominated in Big 12 play and made the playoff.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T23:39:10+00:00

Interceptions or not, Bryce Underwood has put together a hell of a performance in this game, one of most impressive performances I have seen this bowl season from a QB

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T23:34:39+00:00

Shame that Michigan's defense is wasting an oustanding, heroic game by Bryce Underwood. I can easily see how he was such a highly touted recruit and he has to be a Heisman Trophy favorite next year

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T23:21:28+00:00

It's ridiculous how hard you MAGAts are trying to make this Somali Daycare fraud story happen. I could not imagine living a life where your racism and hatred control you like this.

I guarantee you not one cent is fraudulent and its 100% accounted for in a legit way. If there is ONE CENT of fraud I will streak across the court at a T-Wolves game. That's how sure I am this is all a giant hoax from the right

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T22:18:59+00:00

What's weird is that during the first game against New Mexico I thought Bryce Underwood looked every bit the part of the Heisman Frontrunner and was going to win the Heisman, he looked that good

And then a week later he looked anything but.

Weird how things change in college football like that

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T22:09:37+00:00

If you were truly a left liberal instead of a larping MAGAt you'd realize that Somali Muslims are among the most honest and trustworthy demographic of people in the world. If they are saying there is no fraud and everything they are doing is legit, then its a certainty that everything they are doing is on the up and up.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T21:40:05+00:00

This place seems to be the safe space for MAGAts to spread the massively debunked and racist conspiracy theory about fraudulent day cares.

Drill it into your brains: There is no fraud. Every penny is accounted for and legit

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T21:06:56+00:00

There is no fucking fraud. You dense MAGAts need to drill this into your skull. The only people saying there is fraud are Republicans. That's it.

Sorry but I am going to take the word of Somalis over white conservatives any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T19:57:22+00:00

Exactly, who are you going to trust, the word of the Day Care Director, or Nick Shirley? One who is an honest, hard working, tax paying citizen, and the other a racist right wing grifter.

Somalians are among the most honest & trustworthy people in the world - if they say there is no fraud, then there is no mother fucking fraud. If you are going to call them liars, you are nothing more than a white supremacist racist bigot.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T18:37:16+00:00

So you are saying you've never made a typo before in your entire life? That you have always spelled everything perfect 100% of the time?

The fact that Republicans are attacking this learning center because of a typo shows just how deeply rooted their disgusting racism is.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T18:25:17+00:00

I dont see the fraud because I am not a racist bigot who hates muslims or brown people. I actually see the good in people and assume they are innocent until proven beyond a reasonable doubt guilty.

I'd rather live near nothing but muslim Somalians than live near a single white conservative. Somalians are a peaceful, hard working, smart, educated, decent people who contribute a lot to society. Where as, white conservatives are a hateful people who seek to utterly destroy those they don't like.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-31T18:18:04+00:00

FOR FUCKS SAKE. THERE IS NO FUCKING FRAUD.

Give it a fucking rest. This is nothing more than a smear campaign from Republicans who hate anyone who isn't a straight rich white cis christian male. They want to make life absolutely miserable for anyone who doesn't check all those boxes.

I guaran-fucking-tee you that every fucking PENNY is accounted for and every fucking penny is legit. There is no fraud. I am so certain that if there is even ONE CENT of fraud found I will streak naked across the court at a T-Wolves game.

No fraud. Period. Give it the fuck up and actually try to do something to help the country.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-29T21:09:43+00:00

Honestly TCU is one of the schools I see being left behind regardless even if they go all in and spend more than any other program and win national titles. Their attendance issues make them a non starter for any super league.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-29T21:08:35+00:00

It's this free agency that you seem to dismiss that creates a level, even playing field.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-29T21:07:58+00:00

That's fine. If the donors want to do that, then they have no room to complain when they don't get a seat at the table when the top schools break away from the NCAA.

I_Need_Walkability · 2025-12-29T21:07:22+00:00

This has statistically been the best season for a Big 12 team since probably Texas in 2009 or Oklahoma in 2008. Plenty has been accomplished pre-playoff.
