    Nansen and PK both coach the LB/Edge while Baker is focused on DTs. That being said, I don't think these are hard and fast lines. Like the much discussed change from calling the outside position on the DL the "defensive end" to the "edge," there is a lot of cross over between the position groups. I'm sure Baker is in on recruiting DE/Edge if it makes sense for him to be a part of the process. 

    Makes total sense. I guess the point I'm making is that I don't know how much recruiting success of Jackson/Orogbo/Hilson (fingers crossed) can be attributed to Baker. I'm happy things have turned around on DT recruiting, but the jury's still out on Baker as a recruiter and a coach. However, the data points are trending in a positive direction, which is welcome and reassuring after an objectively shaky start.

  2. Recently diagnosed type 2 diabetic and insulin injector chiming in. The needles used to inject insulin are tiny because you inject subcutaneously rather than intravenously. Probably about 1/4 of an inch long and like a millimeter in width. I barely feel anything when injecting each morning. 

    I'm not saying your fear of needles is irrational; only that not all medicinal needle injections are the same.

    Have they learned nothing from the Kenny fucking football experience?  Even after he rejected Looch's advantages and started calling himself Kenny Trill, it didn't turn out well.

    Uhhhhhh..........

    I posted this in the A&M thread on the Football board. Reposting here for people's reference:

    I don't know much about A&M's history over the last 30 years other than them losing some hilarious games like 27-25 and 77-0, so I asked ChatGPT about the QBs being replaced and this is what it came up with:

    1992-1995: Corey Pullig 4-yr starter

    1996: Branndon Stewart replaced by Mark Farris midseason

    1997-1999: Randy McCown 3-yr starter, replaced Mark Farris

    2001: Mark Farris replaced by Dustin Long midseason

    2002: Dusting Long replaced by Reggie McNeal midseason

    2005: Reggie McNeal replaced by Stephen McGee midseason (injury)

    2008: Stephen McGee replaced by Jerrod Johnson midseason (injury)

    2010: Jerrod Johnson replaced by Ryan Tannehill

    2012-2013: Manziel 2-yr starter

    2014: Kenny Hill replaced by Kyle Allen midseason

    2015: Kyle Allen replaced by Kyler Murray midseason

    2016: Trevor Knight (ChatGPT says he transferred from OU? Don't remember this guy)

    2017: Nick Starkel (? who is this?) and Kellen Mond swapped back and forth (?)

    2018-2020: Mond starts for 3 yrs

    2021: Haynes King replaced by Zach Calzada (injury)

    2022: Haynes King replaced by Max Johnson, who was then replaced by Connor Weigman

    2024: Looks like Weigman about to be replaced by Marcel Reed

    No. The answer is no.

    Aggie, they're about 3 or so years ahead of schedule on figuring out they messed up again.  They're mostly in that denial but some are realizing the facts.  Unless you grew up in some backwoods shithole in Texas, none of their recruits want to be there.  They can't develop on offense and defense is very subpar with elite talent.  They'll replace a few coaches this round again.  And once again wonder why they lose 25+ players to the portal.  This could be the highest and best coaster crash ever. No name coach and mostly no name other coaches - great idea that's going to work next time - welcome back to trying to buy a team. 

     

    This is a talking point repeated by the talking heads covering college football at the national level, but it's absolute bullshit. Who do they have that's elite? Sure they have a bunch of kids that were 5-stars coming out of high school. But who is "good"? The answer is no one.

    It's very similar to our time wandering the desert where we were signing a bunch of 5-star players but very few of them lived up to their potential while at UT. Malik Jefferson, Caden Sterns, Jalen Green, BJ Foster, Tyler Owens, etc. The only 5-star player we signed between 2015 and 2020 that KIND OF lived up to potential was Overshown, and the lights only came on after Sark got here. They're in a similar situation - lots of big name duds, which schools will effective use to recruit against them in the same way our competition recruited against us.

  5. I feel bad for the very few posters over there that actually get it. Some of them are accurately pointing out they haven't developed a WR since Mike Evans, had multiple highly-ranked WRs flame out (Demas), and hired an OC that prefers to run the ball (especially with the QB), but then have to put up with a bunch of fucking head-in-the-sand morons complaining about NIL, Holmon Wiggins, and believing that WRs from the portal are somehow going to be more inclined to sign with them than high school WRs. 

    Hey dummies - it's also a pretty shitty strategy when it comes to attracting QBs... Is the Longstreet kid from CA a dual-threat QB? He's 6'1" and almost 200 according to On3. It'll be interesting to see if they hold on to him when their offense sucks shit through a straw this year and Wiggy gets hurt again.

  6. With reclassification being a relatively new trend in football recruiting, it'll be interesting to track the success/hit ratio of players that do reclassify and go to college at the age of 17. Seems like for every Quinn Ewers and Ryan Williams, there's multiple JT Daniels, Tony Grimes, Donnell Harris, Dezz Ricks or LT Overtons who were highly rated and never amounted to shit. But that's just going off my memory. Would love to see some data on that.

    Very unfortunate that on3 currently only has 15 5-stars, considering we have prospects #16, 20, 21, and 22.

    None of that matters at this point. As is the case every year, there will be 30-34 5-stars from each service, and about that many composite 5 stars. If it makes you feel better, you can count Orogbo and Jackson as "On3" Five Stars.

    I think we will find out that Michigan's D is legit and that their offense isn't as bad as it looked but that our defense really is THAT good. 

     

    Their offense is exactly as bad as it looked. But I think our defense is also very good.

     I am sure we will have a few people here gripe and moan about something in this movie, because, dumb reasons. Some of y’all are hard-wired to complain about things.

    It’s not the subjective part. It’s the complain for no reason and label a movie as terrible because they didn’t enjoy it.

    And yet, no one has complained about this movie because no one has seen it. You're pre-emptively complaining about people complaining about a movie that no one's complained about. 

  10. Turning on their starting 5-star QB and believing that a different 5-star QB - that isn't on the team - is the solution to all of their problems is, by far and away, my favorite aggy tradition. See, the problem is the last 10 starting QBs all sucked, and not rot that has infected the great aggy program, ya stupid sip.

    That it came after the first game of the year? Fucking priceless.
