    Their pitcher is a relief pitcher and probably wont last more than 3-4 innings….he goes full throttle till he’s done.

    And he is a cocky fucker. Would love to see someone drill one right at him. Of course that requires making contact.

    cuck Aggie fan getting escorted out of the stadium, team playing their asses off just to get 3 Ls.

    Anyone know the story behind this? ESPN showed him being escorted out but didn't elaborate on what he did.

    Besides, I thought they were the self-proclaimed best/classiest fan base in America!

    With a busy week ahead, I asked Kanu why he could see himself hypothetically picking Texas in the end.

    "I mean, shit, I can play football," he said. "That's it. That's why I can see myself there. It's the same thing everywhere. I'm trying to play. I'm trying to make an impact."

     

    I MEAN, SHIT, FULL ARTICLE BELOW.  THAT'S IT.

    Ohio State DL transfer Hero Kanu visits Texas, talks Longhorns chances

    Hank South (Horns 247)

    Ohio State defensive line transfer Hero Kanu took a one-day official visit to Texas on Sunday as the Longhorns look to continue to bolster what will be a mostly new-look defensive line in 2025.

    "Man, I'm in the portal. They hit me up. And I came out there the next day," Kanu told Horns247 as he was heading out of Austin. "I flew in last night. I'm flying to Florida right now."

    With such an abbreviated visit, Kanu didn't get the traditional official visit experience, but got what he needed to get out of the trip. 

    "Man, it was cool. It was only a limited time so it was only like a conversation," he said. "I had a good conversation with Coach Sark. Just having a conversation about the future."

    Kanu totaled 14 tackles and one sack the last two seasons in Columbus. As a recruit in the class of 2022, the 6-foot-5, 305-pounder ranked as the No. 17 defensive lineman and the No. 118 overall player in the country, per 247Sports, coming out of Santa Margarita Catholic in California.

    Kenny Baker left a strong impression with Kanu as well.

    "He's a cool coach," Kanu said.

    The Gators are up next.

    "I'm going to Florida tomorrow and everything else is being set up, still in the air in terms of like dates," he said. "I don't want to give away too much."

    Where do the Longhorns stand as Kanu works to figure out his next stop?

    "They stand with good chances," he said. "They're a good team. All the teams I'm visiting are good."

    With a busy week ahead, I asked Kanu why he could see himself hypothetically picking Texas in the end.

    "I mean, shit, I can play football," he said. "That's it. That's why I can see myself there. It's the same thing everywhere. I'm trying to play. I'm trying to make an impact."

    Kanu is originally from Germany where he played club soccer. He didn't start playing football until the spring of 2021.

     

     

     

    Seems like this guy has potential, but gives off a very mercenary type vibe.  If he doesn't get as much playing time as he expects, I could see him portaling after a year. 

    Who knows, maybe he's worth a shot.

    Not having a 3rd elite DS in the backrow really hurt this team.

    Because Ella having to set while chasing errant passes is a disaster and takes her out of the offense when she is in the front row. That's one reason Carlson took over at setter...she's able to locate the ball on the run better, but the trade-off with that is her block is going to get abused.

    But even with good passes, Ellas struggled with her location. The only difference between this season and last year's tournament run was that she wasn't jump-setting. So that's on the coaching staff.

    Combine that with new middle blockers who struggled closing the block all season, Wenaas being Wenaas (such a streaky player), and Madi going through her mid-season funk really just foreshadowed how the season was going to end. 

    I pay attention to middles quite a bit, and I think the graduation of O'Neal was a big loss for this team.  Her slide was unstoppable and was almost a guaranteed point every time.  She is a natural one footed jumper and could jump over almost all the blocks. Plus she served really well and was a solid blocker, and a team leader.  The middles this year are a work in progress,  Singletary improved throughout the year and was pretty solid by the end of the season. Ames is just a freshman so too early to tell, but I'm not sure if she has the athleticism on the slide or quickness that this team has had in the past.

    I actually admit when Quinn does good and makes good throws. You'll never see ThatGuy admit any fault with Quinn.

    It's a bit difficult to give you much credit here, when you call him a pussy at every opportunity. 

    I agree for the most part, with Sidis's longcat post.  Plus, Sark's not going to play Manning for any meaningful snaps at this point, unless Ewers gets hurt, so we have to deal with Quinn's good and bad for the rest of the season.

    Tennesssee truly had no block or defense lol 

    Skinner 12 kills .429 
    Rutherford 10 kills .643 
    Ames 9 kills .692
    Singletary 8 kills .700
    Wenaas 7 kills .462 

     

    Literally 0 blocks for Tenn. in the match. Don’t see that too often.

    He for sure makes me pause a bit - think he was a nice find for aggy and will be their starter the next couple of seasons. 

    Hawkins didn't scare me at all and I said as much pregame. I knew we were going to eat that kid for lunch and we did. 

    I can at least envision a game where Reed finds some magic and makes us sweat. Not predicting it - but I wouldn't be shocked. 

    He’s quick and slippery, and can elude defenders in small spaces. 

    I hope we hit him hard early and often, and get him rattled.

    They really aren't. Reed is a lot better and has another year of experience on Hawkins.

    Reed isn't a world-beater but he's easily a tier better than Hawkins. 

    I actually think Reed is going to be a bit of a problem. He’s more elusive than any QB we’ve faced this year, including Pavia. And he can buy time and find open receivers with his ability to scramble. However, we have the athletes to keep him in check for the most part. He’ll get away a few times causing some frustration.

    I want to see Ant Hill and company break him in half.

    Fuck the Aggies. We can’t lose to those cultists.
