  1. I could see the Commies taking BPA or trading down, giving Howell another year to see what they've really got, and taking a QB next year if it doesn't work out.
  2. I took my kids to see Kidz Bop on Friday. Pretty light turnout tbh. $1200 including fees seems like the floor for tickets. They haven’t budged all week. Will be interesting to see how it plays out tomorrow.
  3. So what ever happened with Kobe Black’s brother? Turned out there was nothing to see there?
  4. It seems early to me for 2023 OL to be transferring. Especially with a small '24 class behind them. They'll get their shot.
  5. I was really starting to dream about Mitchell in particular. He's likely a round 2 or 3 guy now, but I had visions of him returning, being our 1A next year, catching a million balls, improving his route running, and being a surefire 1st rounder.
  6. Yeah 5-8 get a home game against 9-12. Quarters and semis are at the existing bowls. Championship at a rotating site.
  7. I think the 12 team format is really going to crush demand for the semis and quarterfinals. There's just not many people that will have the financial ability to fly somewhere 3 weeks in a row (or even 4 if they're not a top 4 seed). We saw this with the Sugar Bowl where Washington fans didn't show. Michigan is a big fanbase that was starving just like us, so they showed up for the Rose this year, but in the 12-team future, there won't be these decades-long droughts between appearances.
  8. Honestly I think you made out ok given the circumstances.
  9. Here's a long post by Kuffner that lays out what's probably my biggest concern about Whitmire - namely, that a big part of his campaign was "the state will be nice to us because I'm friendly with them". That comes across as wildly naive to me. So naive as to be almost unbelievable. I suspect that the promise of "cooperation" with the state is a big reason why all the local GOP money lined up behind Whitmire. http://www.offthekuff.com/wp/?p=112788
  10. It looks like NFL corners do turn and look at the ball most of the time (at least in highlight reel plays), but not necessarily always. In the first half of this video there are plays by both Sauce Gardner (0:08) and Trevon Diggs (2:12) where they never turn. One thing I learned from a little YouTube film study is that top NFL corners are incredibly handsy. Especially Gardner. They are pushing boundaries on basically every play.
  11. This is a good point. NFL fans don't give a shit about going 17-0. It's all about making it to the playoffs and seeing what happens.
  12. I'm incredulous that anyone believes that Arch gives us a better chance to win next year than QE. Love Arch and his potential, but that is a wild take.
  13. One aspect that's interesting to me is that Sark has gotten a lot of credit, and rightly so, for rebuilding our lines quickly and to an SEC standard. But Washington by and large won the LOS on both sides last night. Not sure what to make of that.
  14. I agree. Setting aside Penix, it feels to me like guys like Brooks and Watts have stagnated this year.
  15. Yeah pretty wild swings in the last 24 hours. Get-in-the-door price went from around $2200 pre-games to a peak of nearly $3k after Michigan won to around $1600 as I type.
  16. I think we’ll be fine so long as our OL keeps moving them like 4 yards off the ball
  17. Yeah tickets jumped ~$400 instantly.
