May favorite takes…
FSU didn’t look good (their D looked amazing and we’re 1 week removed from Alabama needing a miracle to beat a 6-5 team.
SEC > ACC (even though the ACC had more wins over the SEC this year)
That isn’t the same Alabama team that Texas played (like any team this time of year is the SAME as in week 2)
Alabama is so much improved (like most teams aren’t improved this time of year vs week 2)
Alright HHC-- who goes?
Michigan, Washington and who? Should be FSU and Texas.... but you know as well as I do it's going to be Bama and either FSU or Texas.
I don’t think it’s a bad idea to encourage people to be on their feet as much as possible in big games. Not sitting for a big game is a great idea, but it’ll probably never be like it was on that fateful day years ago.
i like the idea of a no Sit day for big games… even if it’ll never be as good as the first.
TBF there has been quite a few flops called fouls on threes this year. However, our defense and always rotating to help the helper leads to situations where we can get a little uncontrolled on closeouts.
FWIW, Warren Nolan does have the Big 10 as the #2 conference currently. We may be down a bit as a conference overall… but as someone else mentioned, it doesn’t appear anyone else is stepping up to overtake us.
Watched pieces of the OSU vs CU game. I'm not afraid of them at all. If we do what we need to (and can do) we will be in this game. That's take smart shots and play hard nosed D. Take the fight to them.
Now-- if we the same fire on D as we did the past two games, we could be in for a long night. CU can be streaky as we saw with Colorado St, but if they aren't missing... they are making a TON.
Would prefer us to get involved in something like this again as a conference. They are always fun, usually provide a quality opponent, and give you a mix of home and away opportunities.
