    The only real worry I have for this season is the offensive line. 

    Last year was a more talented and experienced group. They had 121 combined starts going into the year. Yet with all that, they rushed for 58, 31, and 29 yards against Ohio State and Georgia.

    Now we go into a season with 45 combined starts and several guys who failed to push for playing time previously.  It's the only thing that give me pause about all the hype.

    Same.

    you must have missed the quoted post on the last page with umlang's thursday aggyfact

    the last aggy true road win (no neutral sites, no bowls) over a ranked opponent was 8 november 2014 (3914 days ago) at jordan-hare, aggy 41-38 barn

    elk absolutely needs a signature win to change their stars

    he will have to break that streak to do it

    good luck, we're all counting on you

     

    If/when aggy finally beats a ranked opponent on the road, the aggy cult will immediately start bleating about the coming "natty".

    Sportswriters are the dumbest people in the world who get paid to write. Bohls personifies that. He's also always overcompensated in his Texas writing for fear of being called a homer. He was covering A&M during the Sherrill years and clearly liked tooting their horn.

    You can't really expect the moron chorus of sportswriters to grasp such a complicated proposition as two (two!!!!) different sources of revenue for a player. They also run like a herd, these idiots. Expect this notion about Texas being different and sorta evil to take hold for a while as the morons keep quoting each other about it.

    At some point, a sports pundit will want to be contrary and contest this notion about Texas. Then the herd will thunder in that direction because everybody really wants to associate with success.

    It's cute that you think Bohls is afraid of being called a homer. He's made a career of shitting on UT to attract eyeballs / generate response / drive clicks.

    He's a troll.

    Being a dog and all, the phrase "resting comfortable" for the three labs we have owned is they were put down due to cancer.  

    Besides,  just get the dog a script for some weed or maybe there is still some in the locker room left behind from Jimbo's recruits. 

    Any truth to the rumor that Jamar Toombs is working as a locker room attendant for aggy?

    He kinda has a point:


    NEW: SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee takes shot at the SEC in defense of strength of ACC: “The SEC has had the same six schools win the championship since 1964. Not a single one has been different since 1964. That’s top-heavy to me. That’s not depth.”

    No, he really doesn't.

    Tony Petitti stands by Big Ten’s CFP plan, calls 6-3 in league play ‘a great record’

    LAS VEGAS — Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti on Tuesday defended his proposed 16-team College Football Playoff format that would allocate twice as many automatic berths to the Big Ten and SEC.

    Speaking on the first day of his conference’s media days, Petitti said a field primarily determined by conference standings, rather than the CFP rankings, would make the selection process more objective and allow leagues to create their own CFP play-in games the first weekend in December.

    “The Big Ten has been consistent in its strong preference for a Playoff system that allocates spots based on conference standings and the results of playing games,” Petitti said. “We want to better connect the regular season and the postseason.”

    The FBS commissioners have been stuck at an impasse for more than a year in determining the size and format of the Playoff when its new contract with ESPN begins ahead of the 2026 season. That contract specifies that any changes to the current 12-team format must be determined by Dec. 1.

    The Big Ten first introduced the “4-4-2-2-1” concept — four automatic qualifiers for the Big Ten and SEC, two each for the ACC and Big 12, one for the top-ranked Group of 5 champion — during spring 2024 meetings of CFP leaders. But outside of one interview with Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt, his media days address was the first time Petitti made his pitch publicly.

    Initially it appeared the Big Ten and SEC were aligned on the proposed format, but that’s no longer the case. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, speaking at his league’s media days last week, said, “We had a different view coming out of (May’s SEC meetings) around the notion of allocations, if you will. … The Big Ten has a different view, that’s fine.”

    The ACC and Big 12 have made clear they support a “5+11” model: the top five conference champs, as is the case currently, plus 11 at-large bids.

    “Why would I as a commissioner cap (the Big 12’s) participation?” commissioner Brett Yormark said at his league’s media days. “It makes no sense.”

    Petitti reiterated that the Big Ten and SEC “control changes to the CFP format and the selection committee process” going forward “after considering feedback from the membership.”

    “We are open to considering any format ideas that come from our (conference) colleagues or the CFP staff,” he said, “but to be clear, formats that increase the discretion and role of the CFP selection committee will have a difficult time getting support from the Big Ten.”

    A big part of Petitti’s pitch is the concept of conference play-in games. In the Big Ten’s vision, conference championship weekend would no longer consist solely of No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchups, but also 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5, the winners of which would receive automatic CFP berths. Petitti predicted “fans will gravitate to it.” Had that been in place last year, the No. 6 seed would have been Iowa, which finished 6-3 in the conference and 8-4 overall.

    Petitti pushed back when a reporter said, “I don’t sense a clamor for a four-loss team in the Playoff.”

    “If you’re 6-3 in the Big Ten, I would argue that’s a great record, and if you stumbled in a nonconference game, I don’t know why that disqualifies you,” Petitti said. “8-4 as a winning percentage, if you project that winning percentage in every other sport, I’m pretty sure you make the postseason. … There are plenty of teams in professional sports who qualify for the playoffs who can’t get past the first-round game. That’s OK, they still get to play. We’ll figure it out on the field, rather than sitting in a room.”

    The six Big Ten coaches who spoke Tuesday all supported Petitti’s plan. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Big Ten schools will be less likely to play tough out-of-conference games without the assurance of automatic berths, given they play nine league games as compared with the SEC’s eight.

    “If we’re going to be in a situation where we get four automatic qualifiers, then I think it’d be great to have a 10th game against a Power 4 team,” Day said. “If we’re not going to do that, then I don’t think it makes sense.”

    The B1G commish is doing a fine job of advocating for aggy by talking up 8-4 records.

    The video editing is amazing. The music selection is horrible. If I had to choose between drinking a gallon of antifreeze or listening to that song again there would several moments of internal debate. And then I would be dead. 

    Pretty much the same, without the debate. I'd be chug-a-lugging the antifreeze as soon as someone reached for the unmute button.

    Fucking horrible.

    I really enjoyed laughing at Leavitt's tears when he cried after brashly calling out Quinn before our game.

    I recently rewatched the game. I was very disappointed the camera never found Jake Plummer again after right before the 4th and 13.

    That would have been a nice dose of salty tears.

    Some news and notes by position that we’ve picked up prior to fall camp starting:

    Quarterback - we’ve heard Troy transfer Matthew Caldwell has been relatively impressive in team work this summer. In other words, Trey Owens has major competition for the back-up spot. In fact, if I were handicapping the job today, I’d lean toward Caldwell.

    Running back - Cedric Baxter is pushing the limits of his recovery. That’s the great news. The realistic news? Still unlikely to be full go until late training camp or post-Ohio State. Christian Clark has looked the best he has since arriving on campus.

    Wide receiver - the top four have been easy to pick out, perhaps too easy at times which means there are possible depth questions. Wingo, Moore, Mosley and Livingstone are the four. Mosley has been a pleasant surprise. More athletic than anticipated.

    Tight end - Endries is your day one starter. He’s exactly what they wanted out of the portal. Off-field, he’s considered a dedicated, purposeful worker. Winston remains one of the surprises of the 2025 recruiting class. Football IQ is high and athleticism and hands much better than his recruiting ranking would indicate.

    Offensive line - Cole Hutson is the vocal leader of the unit. Could be battles brewing at right tackle and left guard. Nick Brooks might be too good to keep off the field at tackle. We should find out early in camp if he’s ready to compete for a spot. Nate Kibble is prepared to push at left guard.

    Defensive line - Maraad Watson is getting a lot of praise behind the scenes, as are Alex January, Ethan Burke and Colton Vasek. There is a lot of talent on the DL; they just have to figure out the rotation and who plays best together.

    Linebacker - Hill, Lefau, Spence and Moore. Texas has not had a group this talented on the same team at the same time in the 21st century. Hill gets the accolades but discount the rest of that group at your own peril.

    Secondary - the talent is there, the question is how Texas will deploy it. There are eight legitimate candidates for five starting spots. Continue to hear Kobe Black, Wardell Mack and Graceson Littleton as upstarts in the secondary.

    Other notes:

    - I’m told 7-on-7s have a different feel this off-season. More deep balls connecting more often. Quinn liked to operate on time and outside primarily, pushing the short- and mid-range game based on timing. Arch seems to approach the sessions differently. Each practice he seems to have a slightly different agenda or aspect he is working on.

    - Pete Kwiatkowski, Johnny Nansen and Kenny Baker have apparently been drawing up some deeper tweaks to the pass rush game to account for the variety of personnel they have at their disposal. Not sure exactly what that might look like, but it certainly makes sense. Kwiatkowski is not known as an exotic blitzer by any stretch so Texas appears to be working on adding to its repetoìre.

     

    Feels like there are a lot of definitive or near-definitive assertions in there to be based off of off-season workouts without the coaching staff around.

    Am I crazy? 

    (That can be treated as a related or unrelated question.)

    1. Texas: $2.38 billion (projected price)

    Three-year average football revenue: $183 million

    The Longhorns routinely lead the country in revenue and were the only team to top $200 million in the most recent financial reports. No program came within $25 million of Texas in either of the past two years. The Longhorns haven’t won a national title since 2005 but made the College Football Playoff semifinals each of the past two seasons and are among this preseason’s top championship contenders. Add in the SEC brand, and Texas looks like the safest investment.

    Our price tag makes the Longhorns comparable to the 2018 sale of the Carolina Panthers (almost $2.3 billion).

    15. Texas A&M: $973 million
    Average football revenue: $97.3 million

    The Aggies have the rabid fan base and demographic upside to be higher. Money has also never been an issue at a program that paid Jimbo Fisher the biggest buyout in college football history (about $77 million). But we’re also considering wins and losses because of the money victories bring. Texas A&M is arguably the nation’s biggest underachiever with only four top-five finishes and one national title (1939) since the Associated Press poll began in 1936 and zero conference titles since 1998.

     

    What's arguable about it?

    Eh, I thought it was pretty mediocre other than the last shot of Freeze using time travel for golfing (but even then, use it to avoid getting busted for escorts!). I generally like SEC Shorts but choosing 1965 Georgia Football seems a bit odd to include a black fan, especially considering the George football program didn't integrate until 1971. I'm not asking for the cast to dress in white hoods but a little bit of reflection should have indicated a better year or school would be more appropriate.
