    Gullette is a guy we don't hear much about, although he's still young.

    Tapp had a little juice from the little pt we saw him get, but at best he's competing for Walton to be the #6 guy at a position where the top 3-4 figure to eat up a majority of the snaps

    like a week or so ago... Gullette was getting love

    If I could save one from that list it would probably be Robertson. Maybe Cojoe next. I could see all of those guys being productive college players but losing them doesn’t change our roster outlook too significantly. 

    This roster is in a good place 

    With the type of talent they are bringing in from the high school ranks... they are raising the floors so projects like Cojoe have to go elsewhere to get significant PT.. Imagine if they close on Fasusi and Rodgers this cycle.. and you already know they are heavy into the best looking OT in '26.. these guys are bluechips.. still can redshirt a season and learn but their floors are higher than the strohs, cojoes of the world at OT

    CFB-graphs says its through week 10 but Parker said it's actually though end of reg season and numbers look close-ish to me for Ewers on attempt #

    Ewers takes more sacks than most do pressure wise for whatever reason, which makes the OL look even worse. saw some stat last year around this but can't find it again (basically the pressure:sack ratio)

    check his sack % vs someone like Penix, Nix, Beck, etc or even guys like Alan Bowman or Kyle McCord

    CFB-graphs is a 10/10 option for some of these advanced stats stuff. here's hoping we see Quinn air it out way more in 2024.

    he isn't on there but if you want to know just how absolutely horrible A&M was last year, Conner Weigman faced pressure on 40.2% of his dropbacks. Max Johnson somehow had an even higher pressure rate (44.7%) - and both had a sack % rate lower than Ewers.

     

    when Quinn came back from his injury that he suffered vs UH.. he was quick to get down and take a sack without being brought to the ground by a defender.  He wasn't fully recovered imo, so he wasn't going to try and extend a play.

  4. on OTF this morning.. Bobby was talking about the Proctor situation..where it looks he will be portaling back to Alabama next month.. He said he has a source that said don't be surprised if Caleb Downs does the same thing.  Said that Bama has gotten their NIL together, they were used to get players lower because of the Saban factor.  They understand it's not like that anymore, so they have people who stepped up.

    Says tosu NIL is ok but it's not as good as some would think.

     

    Lastly, he said if Caleb does return, there will have to be a new rule where you can portal back but you have to sit a year.

    I may have told this at some point, I can’t remember. I am pretty sure @HenryJames was there. 

    We all met up in Austin for drinks and dinner one weekend during the early, happy days of the Barking Carnival efforts. Probably 8-10 of us. Anyway, we’re bullshitting at dinner and at some point, for whatever reason, height comes up. Someone asks me how tall I am and I say “6’2”” because, you know, that’s like factually correct and shit. 

    Scipio can’t believe it, overhearing the conversation. “No way you’re 6’2”. I’m 6’2”. “ I say, cool, good for you, buddy. He still can’t accept it, bizarrely. It bothers the guy and finally he basically challenges me to a measurement. I would be mocking people having this conversation if I were seated near them and witnessing it. 

    Anyway, I eventually capitulate to make it all go away and we stand back to back, in which the impartial judges begrudgingly informed Scipio that, in fact, he might not be fully 6’2”. He refused to believe it. To this day, I don’t know what in the fuck was going on there in his head, but for sure, physical dimensions are a part of his ego. 

    Outside of high school sports, that is the only time my height ever proved crucial, winning that height contest in my early 30’s. 

    Thought you were 5'8 from the Pic of you with Sydney.. The one that  @Coelenterate FuccboiFuccboi uses as his avatar

    Paul Wadlington is also becoming a bit of a blowhard. Compared to Bobby and Gerry, Paul brings very little, if anything to the table.

    the last time or towards the last time of Bobby doing a live with Paul.. you could tell Bobby was trying to reel him in when he would go on rants.. I always enjoyed Paul going solo.. still will be purchasing his annual Thinking Texas (or whatever it's called) Football season preview mag

    Ok. Share with me what I’m missing from OTF podcasts. Who are the regulars that are “must listens”?

    you can't be serious, they bring in terrific guests.. they just had Shaun Rodgers on there Friday..  

    Gerry is in the mix with recruiting news daily, he's actually on the road making visits.

     

    Rod show with CJ and Erin is entertaining to since they deep dive on the Xs and Os..

     

    But I get it, Eric.. your shows are so much better on IT.. clearly, the numbers say so 🙄

  8. Biggest difference to me in regards to OTF, is that they don't sit around BSing each other on how their day was going or what they did the past weekend.. Bobby and Gerry say a quick hello from wherever and then start talking about recruiting/football updates immediately. They snag your attention off the bat.. and the show being just over an hour keeps it fresh.

    I thought we didn’t want Marcus Harris?? 

     

    However Sark does.. loves keeping that pipeline to CA open

     

     

    Also, seeing Lance Jackson hit the camps.. he's going to shoot up the rankings everytime they do an update. Kudos to the staff for getting him on board early, he looks like a true difference maker
