You don't want a piece of me, pal. You will want a piece of the delicious baby-back ribs that I make. Seriously. I use a dry rub, boil, bake and then finish off on the grill to get a fall-off-the-bone delicious BBQ.

Ok well at least now this thread is getting somewhere. My brisket is dry rub rested for 12 hours or so then a Worcester sauce, salt, pepper, cumin mess thrown on and then low and slow smoked for a similar amount of time. If you don’t like that when it’s done, the problems you have as a person are not correctable and you should immediately place yourself in permanent solitary confinement.

By the way, Bucks by 11 because:

A) Ours go to 11
B) I’m a Buckeye fan, WTF am I supposed to say
C) JK and Weber will pull the safeties in so that receivers can take the top off and while TCU will score on us, we will score more.

Go Bucks!

This is a surreal feeling, but this is an SEC youtube channel that breaks games down and I thought they were phenomenal and very balanced. It's a real tough internal battle I'm dealing with here.

Spoiler: they are predicting a 24 point victory. I'm personally feeling a 17 point victory.

Liked and subscribed. That was great.

Completely agree with the idea that the spread doesn't scale against great defenses because of the lack of vertical threats.

Please continue to do so though have a feeling that Nessie, Sasquatch, Chupacapra and Mothman will all be seen this Saturday. TE is the Achilles heel to the Buckeye D and Patterson would be an idiot to not use them often. Found them. Looks like they are headed to Arlington as we speak.

The last time we played a ranked Big XII team on the road (fuck that "neutral site" shit when the stadium is 10 miles from the TCU campus), we won 45-24. That's the score I'm going with.

I liked when the host said that he wasn't trying to rag on our defense when talking about Oregon State. I thought he was nicer than the majority of OSU fans lol. Really good breakdown.

I am always a little hesitant when it comes to stats being predictive in college football. That is due to the small sample size of data in a season, the changeover in personnel year to year and the wide variety of competition levels.

I have found them over the years to be used more as an instrument to reveal a possible weakness/strength but then you have to go watch the games.

Numbers show OSU has a weak spot? Film shows inexperienced, possibly poorly coached, athletes out of position compounded by poor safety play. DL masks a lot of it.

YPA numbers looked bad for TCU against SMU? Well, it was played in a monsoon so not sure it's relevant.

Just as an example.

Exactly why, as obsessed as I am with numbers, I have never bet real money on a college (or pro) football game.
