  1. is jub officially the loser of picks with friends?
  2. last season max johnson completed 60% of his passes, threw for almost 3,000 yards and had a 27:6 td/int ratio in the middle of a dumpster fire of an offense. i think at worst he's a middle of the road p5 qb, which is far ahead of what we threw out there last year. there's a hell of a lot more potential in that qb room than there was a year ago. still needs to be way more efficient.
  3. over / under last year was 9.5. could see that falling to 8.5 next year.
  4. i'm starting to worry about you. maybe form another s corp. and i have no idea if it's going to translate to more than 8 or 9 wins, but that's the fun part.
  5. no, i mentioned on and off field. he was part of a pretty great operation, and we need to replace him with someone of a similar caliber. on the out of state kids, elijah robinson is a badass and james coley has a ton of connections in georgia. but if you prefer to believe we're giving each kid a car dealership to visit, that probably doesn't hurt the narrative moving forward.
  6. in order, i would say: 1. jimbo fisher: the guy has been known as one of the best recruiters in college football his entire career and i think finished top 3-5 every year at florida state. he learned good lessons from saban and bowden here. he's also assembled a staff of pretty great recruiters both on and off field. 2. the weird region: ou's coach left. lsu's coach left. texas stumbled through season one of a new staff on the field. that's a historically bizarre anomaly that allowed a&m to take advantage of: 3. the absurd amount of talent in state: this class just happened to be one of those cycles that had a ton of talent, and a lot of it happened to be in houston where there was a bit of a domino effect. 4. we're paying: but really no more than anyone else, as much as the websites want to give us credit for directing strategic oil reserves to various churches. should be entertaining.
  7. the fanfic on this is reaching some truly awesome levels. the reality is we paid every single member of the signing class $25-$30 million each - and that was just to visit.
  8. feels like a weird year for records as the music industry continues to splinter into a million tiny pieces, but i really loved the albums from: arlo parks big red machine hiss golden messenger wild pink the weather station i really wanted to love the war on drugs but the damn thing just insists on itself. where the fuck is nomaaa.
  9. i'm worried we won't be able to field a team because everyone will be in prison
  10. i'd be surprised. i think jimbo is trying to sneak max johnson and his brother in without alienating donovan green. who knows, i've heard more posturing this week than i have probably the last 5 years combined, nil + sec moves + all the rest has turned this entire process into a shit show. it's pretty great.
  11. it's always worked! just don't get sucked into an m&a deal with international tax implications where one of the companies is in the middle of suing a global accounting practice. also, didn't think elko would take that job, but guess it was his time. here's to anyone but charles kelly.
  12. i would think he could do better, but maybe not - that's a really tough job. and i think elko is really solid, but don't worry about jimbo's ability to replace him. if it's charles kelly, then we got some issues.
  13. why not both dot gif and he's obsessed with playing guys like leal at 5 tech to set the edge which tends to result in a strong run d to the detriment of the pass rush. and the lack of pure cover guys has definitely not helped, along with his reticence to blitz until later in the game. thankfully, he finally seems to be moving to some quicker cover guys across the back.
  14. to be fair, tarp has been annoyed by elko for several years. i think he's a very solid dc, but his schemes are definitely stronger against the run than the pass. and i would think jimbo would call pruitt way before kelly.
  15. why does sean talk like he has a gun pointed at him at all times

  18. i'm not relying on the duke 9.95ers here. i understand he has interviewed for the job and i also would be surprised if he took it. can't rule it out.
  19. i would be surprised if elko takes that job. and will laugh my ass off if jason garrett gets it.
  20. i feel like there should be a meme of a small domino labeled 'me whiffing on our long our oline would take to come together' and ending with a large one of 'closetojumping asking me to grab a drink at bemelmans'. we can work on this.
  21. yeah, it's bizarre the guy known as an incredible recruiter that landed top 5 classes year after year has continued to . . . do the exact same thing history would suggest. and your continued harping on the bag man boogyman scheme remains hilarious - everybody is playing the same game and has for over a decade - you still have to close kids, which clearly some coaches and staffs are better at than others. as to the team this year, we lost our qb in game 2, and i was definitely wrong about how quick it would take the oline to gel. it happens. i'll be in new york for a few weeks in january, but otherwise around to be entertained by your maundering.
  22. i believe your take at the beginning of the year was that you didn't see much difference in the a&m and texas rosters, so i'll take all the rest with a few grains of salt. overall, my prediction of 10-2 was founded on what i thought would be a very good defense paired with a functional offense, albeit with a lack of speed in a few areas that would lead to defeat against bama and ole miss. the speed definitely bit us against ole miss, however it also reared its head vs lsu, and the functional offense never really came around, primarily because the oline took a while to get together and the qb injury (insert 'jimbos offense sucks and would have been the same with haynes king' here to the degree you think appropriate). on your above points: dl will take a step back for sure. we've got a ton of talent, but it will take a bit to come together. mckinley jackson will be playing for a draft grade and he simply has to be more impactful. lb will be better, you're overrating hansford and cooper should be in line for an all-sec season. at safety, o neal actually turned into an incredible team leader, which is why he never got removed for jardin gilbert. we were playing two 4.6-4.7 guys all year at deep safety, hence the end of the lsu game, mississippi st completing 90% of their passes, etc - i think this gets better next year with gilbert / antonio johnson rotating in more. don't see any way demani richardson goes pro, he seems undraftable at this point. on offense, wydemeyer sucked all year, not sure what happened to him, either the hand issue or looking forward to the next level. we should be able to replace his production with better blocking. calzada enters the spring at 3rd string. nice kid, tried hard, simply not capable of processing at this level of football. it's on jimbo he didn't have a better option ready, however king decidedly beat him out last year and i imagine he does so again with weigman waiting in the wings. wouldn't be surprised to see calzada transfer in the spring, and i hope he never buys another beer again. the schedule does present some challenges on the front end, however we'll see pretty quickly if i'm correct about the ceiling on this team next year. i think a more productive qb and speed upgrade on the perimeter on both sides of the ball raises the bar a bit, as always i'll be here to have shit thrown at me.
  23. it's possible for 2 things to be simultaneously true: 1. i was off in my 10-2 pick for this year, i apologize and will be better. 2. your post is terrible and wrong, you should also be better. i will break it down later when not drinking at lunch.
