    @Hank_Hill knows what's up, he is just an optimist when it comes to recruiting. I am not.

    And you seem like a guy who doesn't know what's going on with his team. We have one center. One! No depth there at all. We have no idea who will play left or right guard. The transfer will have to take one of them. The other? Who knows. Stroh was our depth there. Imagine that. The other two guards on the roster are freshmen who've never played a snap. If either starting tackle goes down the guy behind him will be a significant dropoff.

    I'm not sure you understand the situation. Flood is going to have to do the coaching job of his career and still hope and pray nobody gets injured.

    It was always going to be tough following Nick Saban, but NIL+Portal is like 3 punches right to the dick of the alabama program

    He really should have found himself a better destination, got to be a sky high likelihood of him being ejected out of bama next year for mostly things outside his control

    Yeah, that's like being the asian guy at the gangbang after Tyrone just got out of the pussy. Choosing to go after Saban was not wise, but his bank account will be stellar.

    I thought he was slower hitting the holes.

    He was valuable as a receiver and especially in pass protection.

    It will be interesting to see him at Kentucky.

    You are 100% right. He was slower hitting holes. My thing is a player gets his knees banged up and he runs a little more cautiously through "muddy" holes. Time will tell but I wish him the best.

    Hahaha. I do not blame them one bit. It just seems odd, I guess? Kentucky is just such a rando school for football lol. I dunno, I honestly expected Baxter to head back to FL and end up at UCF. And sadly, before we got Biles, I thought Barnes would be back. I never even once thought about where he might end up haha. But I'm glad Zina is back. Biles + Zina, and already having Ty Smith + Atkinson + Okpala makes me feel a little better, but I still can't bring myself to actually care too much anymore. This portal stuff has seriously soured HS recruiting. I don't even look forward to it other than to see who the next QB is up for transferring.

    When I said "can you blame them" I meant the school. I think it's smart for Kentucky to post up outside Bama, Georgia, and Texas' locker room. Agreed though it was a weird choice to go there. Could be they feel slighted and want a crack at us for undervaluing them? If CJ runs for 150 on us I am gonna be pissed. I like that guy. Just thought we were a bad fit for his style.

    I wonder if CJ Baxter is even half the player he was before all the injuries.

    He's lost at least a step.

    I thought about this a bunch watching him play this year then I asked myself, has he lost a step or did we get worse blocking? He has never been a shifty back. Sometimes back like him need an obvious hole or they end up just slowing down in the backfield trying to wait for something to develop. It could just be the wrong fit. He is NOT an Outside Zone guy. It will be interesting seeing him running for a "brtween the tackles" team to see if that is it.

    Why's up with Kentucky taking Texas' castoffs? Are we their new farm school like Auburn and Bama are to us? And I guess Rutgers?

    I mean do you blame them? Both players are high level recruits, better than they usually get. The portal is a gold mine for lesser schools to pick off high level recruits that the blue bloods weren't patient with. Some kids come from poor high school programs that are as basic as can be so they are behind developmentally. So their development is a little slower. Or you get a one cut and downhill runner like CJ, that's been at a school that doesn't fit his skillset.

    Texas been one of the best recruiting schools since Sark has been here, and Sark is impatient with his recruits. If I were Kentucky I would have a man at a table sitting outside of Moncrief every portal season. 🤣😂

    Not that it matters either way. But that’s not where he was listed on the depth chart against Michigan.

    Playoff scoreboard doesn't show Texas for the 25-26 season...weird. They should be there right? Wut? Didn't make it, so all you can do is talk shit?

    Ah.....Yeah. I remember the first time I got some pussy way back when.

    this has been demonstrated to not be true. it's about 27% that is the unmovable portion of his base. between that and a majority there is a ton of wiggle. a lot of people who inexplicably supported him again are moving away from that. this event is yet another that erodes that support, and this one seems to be doing so faster than others.

    That is the line being drawn.

    Which side are you on?

    You misinterpreted my post. I was making that face at the Nazi phrase. I am in agreement with you. In fact, I've been here waiting for the majority of people here to finally come around to what we've known what the American people have been about for decades.

    I’m betting on it. Money is there, need is there, supporting cast to play for - arch, brown/hollywood, and coleman, I can’t imagine top portal class on skill, possibly top class on defense, and a straight up whiff on the OL.

    Why? We've not upgraded the O-line through the portal the entire time Sark has been here. Should be the expectation at this point.

    Holy shit, just got into a yelling match with my wife (on my side) and the in laws. Just straight right wing propagandists. They immediately bring up shit that I only vaguely know about from the Fox News thread and such on this site as if it is straight reality.

    The only thing that came of it from my super Christian MIL is she claimed Jesus would send the immigrants back instead of housing and feeding them. I told her that was the antithesis of Christianity and it made her double take. For a moment, she was self aware. But only a fleeting moment. Then she gave me the finger.

    Quoting myself because now I’m fucking seething. I can’t believe I have to sit here and pretend they are still worthy of my patience. I’ve always known they weee like this, but today was the first time I saw them admit it. And they just. Don’t. Care. They admitted their hate and that they think it is correct.

    I asked them why they supported a child rapist and FIL said “who is a child rapist?” My jaw hit the floor.

    I’m not in a position to offer advice because they aren’t my in laws, but I’ve had similar experiences and so did my folks. One strategy is to write a letter to them and say everything you would like to say. Then sleep on it before you send it. Then reread it, and decide if that’s what you really want to say. Repeat the process until you have a letter you can send and then send the letter.

    They can decide what to do with the information. However you decide to manage the situation, they deserve to have it. And you owe it to yourself not to bottle it up.writing is better than a conversation usually because it removes some of the ambiguity that provides space for false accommodation.

    Since you are are struggling to offer advice here I will step in....

    Fuck em. Put some distance between you and them and make sure they understand why. My mother and father in law are long time Republicans that pulled the lever for the idiot who is currently in office. My teenage daughter asked her grandma how she could vote against her well being and literally told her how she was disappointed in her. The wife and I have made it extremely uncomfortable for them. My wife's parents, who are retired and have a lot of disposable income, rarely come around much. If that's the price to pay to get them to think about their actions then so be it.

    We cannot allow people to exist in our orbit without drawing that line. Otherwise we are enabling them. Silence is collusion after all. Talk to your wife and put some space between you and them.

    We lost 6 offensive linemen and got one back. This is a huge issue. We better hope we get the young guys coached up fast. The good thing is Muschamp's defense will help the linemen get ready for the season. I am a firm believer that the reason Colt's O-line was decent despite the lack of talent was because they had to face Boom's defense everyday.

    We all type fast with two thumbs and without complete copywriting efforts from time to time- pretty sure he’s not saying there’s no room for improvement on the skill side - he’s railed on the WR output at times - but get this - if Sark isn’t a stubborn mule on his offensive sets and play calling, if we had an OL pipeline like Sark says is needed in the SECx3, if he opened the WR rotation to freshmen 5* (one of a few positions freshman can really contribute) , if he had some god damned discipline on the OL (penalties) then Texas is a deep run play off team this year. No one is saying sark isn’t trying right now, but his flaws are fatal absent some heroic football by some of the guys on and coming to the roster. Frankly, it wasn’t much different the last two years either there were just better players so Texas got closer.

    @Hank_Hill knows what's up, he is just an optimist when it comes to recruiting. I am not.

    We've been shit at evaluating inside offensive linemen all of Sark's tenure here. Now the same people who missed on evals the first time are in charge of making a second evaluation. We portaled in Keilan Robinson, AD Mitchell, and Golden. We've not portaled in a single O-lineman that can help us. Again, skill players don't help if you can't block enough to get the ball. WE HAVE TO GET SOME LINEMEN.

    lol you think the guys we’ve landed were free? Keeping Goosby away from the draft took pennies? The Michigan OL apparently took less to stay home and we’re on to plan B who will get paid. Next talking point. Success is down, effort is certainly up.

    Lol. Why do you 9.95 guys think people aren't informed? We don't post over there because its a shitshow, not because we aren't informed. We are where we are because of Sark's ideology and nothing more. Sark and Flood are too busy measuring arms and scale watching to be bothered with watching some tape. Michigan isn't the only team with O-linemen.

    Poona Ford and Lamarr Houston couldn't play for Sark and Flood if they were linemen. Portal is open 6 more days.

    Ok uhhh first off holy shit hot take. Secondly that statement has nothing to do with our efforts on offense both in retention and the portal. Goosby took effort. Brown took effort. Going after the #1 portal prospect in Coleman is taking effort. Bringing in 5 OL visitors (so far) and shooting our shot took effort. Some more OL success is certainly needed though.

    Lets highlight what the definition of "effort" is in this situation. Effort is opening your checkbook. Seems we need to prioritize our effort level in the area of most need. Coleman doesn't help you if Arch spends the whole game staring at contrails. Brown doesn't help you if the opposing defensive line is there to closely monitor the handoff goes well.

    Trying to pull off both Brown and Smothers + the Coleman sweepstakes are certainly low effort plays

    All of our problems on offense this year had nothing to do with running backs or receivers.
