One of the best in TV history. Certainly one of, if not the, most shocking endings. The homage to that episode on Archer was fantastic.

1864

Limbo is one of my favorites. I struggle watching the eighth season knowing that episode was supposed to be the series finale (and would’ve been a damn fine way to end things).

Black On White is also fantastic. I love the scene where Higgins talks about his army service in Kenya. Ian MacShane ain’t too bad either.

Thoughts and prayers for Alabama.

Reverse Boise and ASU.

Nice draw for Texas.

1868

Thanks, typed too fast. Editing now…

I think it was the Athletic a few weeks ago who said that fifth seed arguably would have a better draw than one of the top four teams.

Hopefully, two weeks is enough time for Banks to get healthy. His absence last night noticeable.

Yeah, that’s been the thought all along because of conference champs getting byes. The idea was always that the G5 team would be the 12 seed but Boise threw a monkey wrench into that one. But yes as the 5 seed you get a not top 12 team at home and then, if you win, get the worst of the teams with a bye. As the 1 seed, you get a bye but then play a top 10 team in the quarters.

They need to change it for next year. I like having the autobids so you always have a G5 team in, but the byes need to just be the 4 best teams.

1871

I thought he turned field to be a convoy. I did not notice celebrating, but it was clear that neither he nor Barron noticed #7. Barron thought he was going to score.

Maybe Sark’s playcalling in the OT can be debated, but he had to kick the FG.

1872

Absolutely.

I detested going to the fades when we had the most success over the middle

I disagree, I like having a strong incentive to win your conference - and they don’t want to make those lucrative conference championships go away.

With the expansion to 14 teams in the next year or 2, you’ll only have 2 byes to worry about anyway.

Ohio State, fourth place in their conference, getting in over Alabama as the 8 seed is both delicious and nauseating.

1875

There was a pretty strong incentive for ASU and Clemson yesterday.

1876

Bama was 4th place in their conference.

1877

Agreed, but we do not know what Georgia was doing to defend the middle. I love slants.

My “dammit” this morning:

Golden dropped a TD in the end zone, after the made FG, we lost 4 points.
Auburn made a FG which a false start nullified. After he missed the second try, we lost 3 more.

That’s 7 points which should have been on the board without criticizing Sark, Ewers, Auburn, Gilbeau, or the refs.

Exactly. Plus their arrogance is nauseating.

1879

Oh we left a ton on the board due to our own mistakes.

I still think this D is good enough to win the whole damn thing if the offense just avoids killer mistakes.

Yeah, there is no team that scares me as a Texas fan. It’s just a matter of performing well now, which I’m expecting them to do.

1881

I am not talking about woulda, shoulda play calls. I am talking about points which were on the board with an easy catch and a guy not moving on a made FG.

Golden has been so money his drop shocked me.
