I guarantee Stein will be good for one or two completely off-the-wall plays, per usual.  Will they be productive is the massive question, as they always seem to be hit or miss.  Hoping there's minimal rust for OBD to knock off, and the extra practice time and fresh legs pays dividends early and often!

OBD wins the Rose Bowl and it will have its choice of semifinal sites between the Orange Bowl, on Thursday, 1/9/25, or the Cotton Bowl on Friday, 1/10/25. 

 

As a member of the SEC, Texas no longer has a tie-in with the Cotton Bowl. 

 

The Champ game is 1/20 in Atlanta. If the semifinal is versus Texas, I think OBD opts for Miami. Dallas is just up the road from Austin and the Orange Bowl means one more day to travel home and prepare for the champ game on 1/20. 

Ah, okay. My mistake. Thanks for clarifying!

OBD - Rose Bowl over tOSU. Orange Bowl over Texas. Payback from way back on 1/20/25 in front of Dawgs fans in The ATL.

 

This time Kirby, your pupil Dan has the players. 😍Revenge is a dish best served in Hotlanta, and Three Years Old. 🤩

Although I agree with all your outcomes, aren't we in the Cotton Bowl for essentially a home game for the 'Horns if we win the Rose Bowl? I know there was some confusion there on selection day, but the ESPN brackets show Cotton, unfortunately. I wish the high seed had the choice.

All this talk now makes me realize that there needs to be serious consideration to moving the Heisman ceremony to after the completion of the playoffs. It's supposed to be awarded to the best player in college football, but the award doesn't take into account what could be a team/player's most important 3/4 games of the year? Doesn't make much sense to me.

Kinda wish we had a fly era uniform that was in green as well and not just black. 

I'm hoping they have something in their pocket for deeper into the playoffs. I do feel like if they don't have a green version of that template that they're kind of regretting it at this point, since it feels like we haven't seen any of the throwback looks since the first half of the season. Kind of painted ourselves into a black/yellow (and white) corner in terms of modern looks.  Also interesting that the white fly era has nightmare/iridescent numbers like our alternate whites have had for the past several years, but there's no dark green uni elements to be seen (as of yet?).

 

Side note: I just realized, one of the nicer/cleaner looks that could come from this uni set is Chrome/White (fly era) jersey/Grey pants, and we likely won't see it because (assuming we win the CCG), we'll always be the higher seed, unless we opt to wear white.

Seems like the type to make bold claims just for the sake of attention.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this week's uni combo will be an ode to this anniversary.

Black helmets with the white jerseys that haven't been officially revealed yet. 

 

Probably black helmet , white jersey, and black pants. 

 

It will probably look excellent. The black helmet doesn't quite work with the whites we wore last week.

As much as I would love this look, I can almost guarantee they won't wear the black lids this weekend. They've been practicing in the yellow helmets for weeks and have yet to wear them in a game (until this weekend, I'm guessing). I'm guessing Yellow/white/yellow or *fingers crossed* Yellow/white/green.

Wonder what the team will wear against USC? The game is a blackout. 
 

Black unis will be similar to this weeks. 

My fingers are crossed that we've got something special and unseen brewing that matches the new black/carbon lids we've worn a few times this season. The carbon doesn't go with any other uni elements we have, so I'm hoping it's not just one outlier helmet with carbon for the sake of carbon.
