    He's threw some of the worst interceptions I've ever seen last year.  It's way beyond an accuracy problem.  They weren't the |"Oh, he didn't see a defender underneath or a pass sailed on him and got tipped up and picked off."  They were what in the actual fuck was he looking at on that play?

    You know who else threw some awful interceptions as a freshman?  Ehlinger…

    The olds are out in full force today!

     

     

    I feel like I should soil myself or apply some salve after reading those three posts. 

    I’m only 37, but TVLand was a thing in the home when I was in middle school.

    Well that hasn't kept them from getting highly rate recruits.  

    Granted winning and keeping them is another thing.  

    They got a bunch of highly rated recruits in a SINGLE cycle because they paid way above market rate.  How many have they been able to keep?  You're using an anomaly to support your argument.  That's a bad tactic, friend.

    I think the city is way down on the list of why recruits commit to teams.  College towns are probably more fun to a lot of recruits than big cities.  

    I think the two most overrated things about recruiting are city and coaches influence on where the recruit signs.  I'm not saying that those factors don't come into play for some recruiting battles,  I'm just saying that they are way down on the list of where most recruit ultimately  commits.

    The 247 mods just posted a write-up about the DTs this spring. They had to do so using the guidelines that The Elk requires for any personnel write-up, so, if you read them often enough, you can see where they're skirting subject matter. 

    What does that mean?

    1) No mention of GBD until a poster asked about him. Full write-up with no mention. Tarp comes back and says "Elko says that he's injured" or something to that effect. They've done everything they can to avoid discussing the guy this spring.

    2) The SR Wisconsin transfer, Johnson, is physically overwhelmed for the position but he plays better then his physical attributes should allow. Because they're fucked at this position, he may actually be in the rotation.

    3) The gigantic fat guy of Pacific Islander descent has lost weight without picking up any quickness or strength advantages, apparently. If he doesn't just lodge himself into the center of a play like a buttplug and stay stuck, he's a huge liability. 

    4) Albert Regis is their best hope to fill in for McKinley Jackson and Raikes. He can't stay healthy or display the ability to stay on the field for an entire drive, but he needs to really get some advanced shit done this season and play bigger than his size.

    5) Jadon Scarlett is a wasted scholarship.

    6) DJ Hicks looks terrific and is living up to his highly rated billing.

    7) Shemar Turner may be forced to play inside this year, where he should have been all along. They will have to hope for better production than his dogshit numbers over the first 2 seasons. That's if he doesn't transfer.

    8 ) They might be proper fucked at NT if they can't find a massive NT in the portal that they can outbid everyone for, which Tarp thinks to be unlikely. There's no one on the roster currently to match the quality that they've had for the last 6 seasons. They lost the wrong guys to portal. 

    I honestly think that last bit might be too much, even though he's trying to be subtle, for Tarp to get away with on The Elk Pravda front. I won't be surprised if he gets thrown into the aggie media gulag for a few weeks. That's where they put reporters, naked, into a pillory and then flog him or her with a horsewhip while forcefeeding them giant cans of store-bought spaghetti until they either die of gluttony and shame, Elko-style, or confess the profound remorse and promise to never cross The Elk again.

    I got a mental image of Elko's face on Jabba's fat slug ass as he proceeds to feed Tarp to the Rancor.  I can't un-see it now.  Can someone paint the masterpiece with photoshop?
