  1. Congratulations, Derion, all the best to you in your rehab and your studies. See you in a few months, ready to work and win championships!
  2. Watching Baxter’s Junior season Hudl again, and it’s a 6:07 video. He literally doesn’t get tackled in the field of play until 5 minutes in. http://www.hudl.com/v/2GVCQw
  3. I was going to pose a logistics question (How does a high school kid in Jacksonville, Florida, playing in a football game on Friday night, make it to Austin in time for a Saturday 11 am kickoff?) but I went ahead and looked it up. There are two flights leaving JAX at 6:00, one is scheduled to arrive at AUS just before 10 am, the other around 10:30. You’ll probably be a little late to the game, but you’ll be ok. We’ve got kids coming from all over, so kudos to the staff for making all the arrangements and making sure there are drivers, cars, etc., and making sure the families are cared for well. You can’t have any fuck ups.
  4. She’s said to have “significant pulmonary injury.” So, whattya think, breathing fire, steering wheel to the chest, all of the above? As Trauma Babe has noted multiple times, sometimes it’s better to not survive.
  5. You won’t like the Recruiting thread, because there’s a dude over there who thinks he’s Thatguy.
  6. Other than a highly scientific term I’m not familiar with or industry-specific jargon, you can put just about any English word in front of me, and in a millisecond, my brain can discern context and appropriateness. Gundy may be everything Mixon says he is, but he’s still apparently dumb enough to say read a slur… perhaps the most infamous slur… out loud. I don’t know how you don’t stop yourself, but then again, I don’t know how one chooses to be a Sooner, either. (Sorry, ChiTown.)
  7. Does it wear a right or left shoe? And pedicures are another issue…
  8. Imma literally just unlocked the general tOSU thread just for you guys, it’s back at the top of the page if you want to use it. Peace.
  9. Like Frankenstein’s monster, this bitch is alive again. Talk about tOSU DBs all you want.
  10. I’m sorry, I swear I’d seen an active Ohio State thread recently (and not the Trademark one) and presumed that was it. You can use that one and also ask about “The.” 🤣 NEVERMIND, thanks to @immamac for unlocking the other thread
  11. We practiced yesterday, but I haven’t seen any 9.95er recap, though Nahlin says he might have something this afternoon. Looks like Sark clamped down on the leaks pretty effectively.
  12. We just weren’t prepared at all for that environment and an Arkansas team that was actually good. They were 17 all with Rice going into the fourth quarter the week before, and despite all the warnings from the coaches, it was probably human nature to underestimate them (don’t eat the cheese). And the coaches probably underestimated the hatred the pig fans would have for us, even with their SEC background. Texas is a whole different level. They were better than us, more ready than us, and the energy in the building must have been at 💯. Card and the rest of the team were overwhelmed, and it took Thompson reverting to Herman-style QB Hero Ball to rally us to any semblance of an offense in the second half. It’s probably unfair to write off Card just due to Fayetteville, but in subsequent appearances, I didn’t see much reason for optimism. Situational awareness seemed off, which is just about everything for a QB. I expect Ewers to be just the opposite, a different arm angle, different trajectory, different speed on the ball… depending on the situation. And maybe he’ll actually know to scramble for the first down marker when he leaves the pocket. Card’s history as a good receiver never squared with his mediocre QB running ability, and that doesn’t make sense to me.
  13. And I was wrong, Bama actually came back and led 18-13, then Georgia scored three TDS in the last 8 minutes or so to win by 15.
  14. Last season’s championship game is on, and it’s Bama 9-6 late in the 3rd… and I’m wondering when it all changes, because my recollection is Georgia ended up putting it on them pretty good. The Tide is driving, 1st and 10 on the Georgia 29, and Billingsley misses a block, and Robinson is tackled for a yard loss. Two plays later, 3rd and 11, and Young scrambles under tremendous pressure, but somehow finds Agiye Hall streaking across the field at the 10… and Hall can’t catch the perfect throw. Georgia then blocks the FG, takes over and then drives 80 yards in four plays, take the lead and they never trailed again. Some mistakes, but they played a lot
  15. She randomly was on Sirius a few (shit, maybe several by now) years ago, hosting a weird call-in advice show, kinda sexual in nature, and she seemed really cool. She’s obviously been thru a lot, and unfortunately for her, it seems her troubled road has gotten even more so. Burn injuries have to be a form of hell on earth.
  16. It’s going to be fun, when after every snap and the play-by-play announcer finishes describing the action, hearing a gulp of liquid, a Gatorade bottle slam to the press box desktop and Herman harshly bellow out, “Questions?”
  17. I am 100% convinced the Friday media blackout was prompted by the Chip Brown Hall/Billingsley “insider information” piece, not the TV comparison between Card and Ewers delivery. I also suspect the support staff got a reminder that anyone found serving as Deep Throat (the Watergate kind) to a 9:95er is grounds for immediate shit listing and termination (if you’re not that important). I’m certain the rest of the media are pissed in the reduction in access, especially the TV guys since they need video every day. In the Burron/Nahlin/Wells video chat, they referenced the Brown article as being unnecessary at this point (the info would be more meaningful if they were underperforming during the season), and this was taped before the news of the media opportunity being shitcanned. I suspect few people are happy with everyones buddy, FCB.
  18. I thought it was a bit, how Mack’s shittiness at the end never stopped working (though he did).
  19. Ok, I’ll admit, this is something I never thought I’d read.
  20. “So, that was Junior Day, right? Ok boys, I think we’re done!”
  21. After CTJ’s annihilation above, there’s not much to add, but how does a player’s injury status affect his flippability? And we’re going for a Top 3 class, Top 15 would be a program momentum setback. At least bronco can take solace in the fact he’s the best worst most prolific drunk poster on the site, and that’s saying something.
  22. JC is complete badass with the rock, especially when it rains… a lot. And if he can convince Moses to sign with us as his lead blocker, the defenders just move aside.
