#8 was averaging almost 9 yr/carry coming into this game. That includes against an SEC team.

of course his average is increasing today…

[Bison03]

Defense is still playing pretty good. Only giving up 2 fg so far is great.

[bloodmakesthegrassgrow]

Easy INT and he pisses it away!!!

[Kevin]

That doesn’t seem right. Almost all the tickets were sold.

Yeah that seems off.

Maybe it’s lakes buying tickets for his friends then realizing he has none.

Clearly he watched Hugo Lloris against Arsenal this morning.

INTs are part of his job, many times it's the difference between a win and a loss.

When the 50 yard line, high price, low row seats are consistently empty something is really wrong. Give the tickets away especially if they are corporate tickets.

To the extent that they’re corporate tickets the problem is who’s incentivized to give them away or even resell them?

[Big Bird]

Hate punting from the 32 yard line (before the intentional delay of game). Terrible punt too

[Hammerhead]

How was that a blind side block when both players took 3 steps towards each ofher?

Net 13 yard punt. Might as well have gone for it.

The incentive needs to be there for those buying or taking the tickets. People are willing to sell or give them away. Not as many want them. It’s crazy how many leave after tailgate. There we 20k+ at tailgate today. Maybe 15k entered the dome.

Props for spelling "hyperbole" correctly, I'm actually shocked it wasn't spelled phonetically (i.e. "hiperbally") since I'm pretty sure you don't know the definition. If you did know the definition then you wouldn't make the exaggerated claims you make and then feel sorry for yourself when people on this site call you out. I'm sure you are much more rational over at iluvsamhoustonstate.com
