  1. Q. Over these eight practices, what did you and your defensive staff see from Cort to have confidence in giving him a start today, and with you being down a few linebackers, how big was his play?

    HEAD COACH TOM HERMAN: Oh, yeah, Cort's a great story. You know, if there was a Scout Team Player of the Year award, he would have won it probably back-to-back years. He's really tough, really physical and just understands football. He sees the game really, really well, and we knew that -- you know, we were going to be short in that area, especially with Joe and Jeff playing close to the line of scrimmage needing those guys to play close to the line of scrimmage. We were going to need him to be in that rotation and he came through in a big way.

    No bait.  He’s uninformed.  He’s like a 50/50 mix of Chin pubes and EJ’s replacement. His opinions are based on bullshit....that’s the Lucci coming out.   Funny thing is, when Tunmise signs with Texas, he will claim he knew it all along and didn’t want to jinx his pick....and that’s at a Roach level of prognostication. 
     

    Knowing him and his family for as long as I have, I will stick with what I said 2 years ago.  

    You know HankScorpio is a satire account, right(albeit a pretty hilarious one)?  I'm a little new here but I thought that was pretty widely known?

  3. I think you need a mixture of high floor, lower ceiling players as well as the more high ceiling, low floor players.   Obviously, the highest ranked players tend to be more of the high floor/high ceiling types but this staff has done a great job of identifying and acquiring talent beyond the no brainer players.

    As the hopefully 3rd take on the defensive line, Fillinger offers that high floor player, who has some measureables (elite shuttle) which may translate to unexpected athleticism.  He's also a high effort, relentless player who will be great in terms of culture fit and program mentality.  

    Very, very excited about this pickup.  He's a guy that needs a couple years to percolate and then unleash as a RS soph.  

    Additionally, and this is probably an old guy preference but I'm a fan of players that have low key recruitments.

    This has been answered up above, but to be clear, it was an ego thing for Herman. It will be interesting to watch Powell's career. 

    On a separate note, one of the write-ups talks about Jake Smith knowing it was going to be Texas, and I guess that's true, but he had a visit set up to ATM with Brewster. Brewster left for UNC and Smith dropped the visit plans. Brewster is good and he's a sneaky fucker. 

    Damieune Craig is a piece of human shit. Any player he's recruiting actively and for any period of time can be assumed dirty. I don't care where they sign. I would like to see this guy be thrown from an 80 story building. I'd cackle at him the entire way down, as women and sarvanaash shrieked in horror. He's exactly the problem with the recruiting arena at this juncture and I despise his existence for that. 

    So how do you really feel about Craig?  Please don't keep sugar coating it.

    Tom Herman whipped Jimbo with far inferior talent at UH.  Houston's recruiting classes they fielded in the bowl game were ranked #89, #75, #56 and #57 by 247.

    Jimbo's FSU squad was packed with talent from the #3, #4, #11 and #4 ranked classes.  Even when Jimbo Baggins had top 5 talent and Herman had top 70 talent, The Hobbit couldn't win.  What makes anyone think he would suddenly be the better coach when Herman has equal or greater talent?

    Delusion is rarely based on immutable facts.  

    I know every fanbase has it's idiots but the Aggies definitely seem to have more of them.  

    No one knows how Herman or Jimbo will do long term.  However, there are enough data points to suggest that Jimbo requires a significant talent differential in order to be successful and that no matter how well he recruits, he's unlikely to have that talent differential when Alabama, LSU and Georgia are in his conference.  

    There's also enough evidence to suggest that Herman is a good coach even without a large talent disparity that likely translates into even greater success when you start to get a healthy flow of talent in.  

    By any measure, both teams had great recruiting classes.  I think Herman's recent history argues that he's a better judge of under the radar talent but either way, Aggy had a good class.  I just don't think it'll be enough to overcome Fisher's history of poor offensive line development, his antiquated offensive philosophy, and the general suckitude that is Aggy..

    Still, it's cute that they are so focused on Herman and big brother that they can't see this.  It'll make the inevitable tears even sweeter.

    Also, is Brockermeyer being looked at as an OT or 4i?  Isn't he about 6'6 270 lbs.?

    I'd assume he's a tackle if he's already that big as a sophomore.  It'll be good to have two brockermeyers on campus.  We need a Studdard, Blaylock and Neil as well

    gaylor accusing us of a cover up? That is rich. Ask those ex gaylor females how they feel about cover ups?

    Is there a need to make homophobic slurs?  It sounds a little Aggy.  I mean, Baylor is Rape U.  It's not only pejorative but also false.
