  1. We know what we have in the starters, now it's time to get meaningful snaps for the backups. I don't care what the final margin of victory is, I hope we get up by three scores and have backups playing from the middle of the second quarter.
  2. Totally agree. Nebraska is fucked whereas Bama is just one of 10 or so blue bloods. The game changed and Nebraska refused to accept it. It's changed for Alabama and I'll be curious to see how they respond.
  3. Alabama is in trouble, but not because of last night. NIL could be Bama's equivalent of eliminating partial qualifiers. Saban has used a huge staff of analysts, over-signing, what I assume was a decent bag game, etc. to ensure he never faced a level playing field. Others have caught up on the personnel side and now NIL gives programs like Texas and USC an advantage over the Alabama's and LSU's of the world. Alabama can still be successful, but it'll have to be because of better coaching, landing a transcendent player like VY, or catching lighting in a bottle like LSU a few years ago. Nebraska wasn't up to the challenge of competing on a level playing field and it doesn't look like an aging Saban is either.
  4. Next year. It's always next year.
  5. Ooof. Too soon.
  6. Rutgers and Northwestern would need significant improvement to be as bad as Illinois.
  7. One positive sign for this upcoming weekend was the edges did a really good job against Rice of... setting an edge. They were aggressive, but also aware of their responsibility. I don't remember anyone sprinting up field past the QB and leaving a huge running lane. Everyone seems to understand their job.
  8. This hits close to home. I coached my daughter's 4th grade soccer team in Houston. We played a game that was probably 55 degrees and half the team was convinced they had frost bite.
  9. I understand what you're saying, but what does Texas "throwing its weight around" even mean? It's said often enough, but is rarely followed by actual, concrete examples of it happening. It usually amounts to Nebraska, aggy, and others rubbing their vaginas. The only example I can think of is getting rid of partial qualifiers, thereby destroying Nebraska's future. As far as I can tell, that's it. That's the list.
  10. If Milroe is starting, it's possible we won't face any QBs.
  11. Bryce Young was holding that offense back, what with his Heisman and ability to complete forward passes...
  12. The Big XII's contact info is below if any wanted to mail Brett a dildos-R-US catalog, or something similar. 400 East John Carpenter Freeway Irving, TX 75062 469/524-1000
  13. The throw didn't have enough velocity to escape his gravitational pull.
  14. Mack is the second most accomplished coach at Texas. It's hard to beat DKR with 3 championships and 11 conference championships.
  15. Alabama's had some crazy weather lately too. It's not the heat you have to worry about in Alabama so much as the flying mobile home.
  16. That was back when we thought Todd Orlando could actually coach.
  17. Never go full retard. Handing it to White was a good call. Bush on the sideline was moronic.
  18. It's hard to imagine now, but the Andre Ware/David Klingler stretch was bonkers in Houston. I can't even imagine what that would have been like with social media.
  19. How has this post made it 10 hours without a, "I hired your mom for comfort" post?
  20. I wouldn't read too much into the distribution. Stars are a prediction so you'd expect positions that are easier to project (WR, RB) to be over-represented. There's also some natural variability from year to year. This is a down year for Texas OL, so that may be the case overall. That said, while I know there is a strong correlation between star rating and draft status, I'd be curious what the numbers look like by position.
  21. As if aggies know anything about style or substance.
  22. Players say they are making 6 figures and aggy says none of it is NIL. That seems like a pretty honest and accurate summary of aggy recruiting.
