  1. Damaged goods. Lots of toxic guys over there. I bet McKinley will be back in play. Either way, watching even Broughton split a double team gives me hope that we'll be fine. Remember, pk built his defenses with mainly 3 and low 4* players at uw. If he's able to sit back and scheme and not stress about recruiting, I could see 10-15 more years of elite defenses.
  2. What's crazy about this defense is we still have young edge players that are getting better. It's pretty fun to play defense when your front 4 generates pressure with very little help. Really hope we can pick up another DT in the portal or steal someone else's 5 star
  3. I love Aggy slowly starting to realize a little truth. They are starting to remember their place in the heierchy.
  4. How the fuck do you expect me to pay for Texas one if I shut down my of account?!? Just kidding, thanks everyone who worked tirelessly to even the playing field. Already contribute but I bet we see a lot more people throw in some bucks.
  5. We went there and dominated them on the defensive line. Made mistakes, didn't have breaks go our way and still won. This isn't a perfect game underdog win. This is the better team winning. Now, gotta celebrate and then not stub our toe. I don't know that we'll play a more talented defense this year
  6. Fuck yeah. Lots of sad inbreds getting hate fucked tonight!
  7. He's APART from other ou players. He's eloquently choosing to start a new tradition of mutual respect between the two schools. That's clearly it. I for one am impressed by his intelligence and maturity.
  8. Texas 24, bama 13. Fuck it, we're due. Defense steps up, ewers stays upright and saves his best performances for teams that aren't full of nerds 312 total offense for bama. Most of it milroe scrambles though he turns it over twice
  9. Thomas Johnson if I recall correctly. Sad case
  10. no offense but hard to lend credence to the idea that a bunch of guys going to duke, vandy, tech and arkansas are top 25 players in texas. I mean, it's cute to be contrarian but wtf? kobe black as 16 in state when he's a consensus 5 star?
  11. That's maturity a lot of people twice his age lack. Smart, grounded kid and I really hope he has a fantastic last year and then catches on for a couple of years in the NFL, but whether football works out or not, he's going to be successful at life.
  12. No CR, not making a statement about either, one way or another but I found this cognitive dissonance amusing: Aggy: Austin is full of stupid pot smoking hippie sips who want to defund the police because they arrest people for drugs Aggy: stupid local cops don't understand that marijuana isn't really a drug, not like alcohol. Wish they cut these fine upstanding kids a break. Aggie football under Jimbo is bringing wokeness to college station, one despondent fan at a time.
  13. Clearly my sarcasm wasn't evident. Pay the man. Other than someone like bd, it's hard to think of a "realistic" candidate that would prompt a pause
  14. I was a skeptic. Still likely a bad move when you look at the overall data. I say we keep him as the interim coach. Say something along the lines of a 5 year deal as interim coach. Clearly he thrives with uncertainty.....
  15. I fucking love this team. That is all. Hope we can grind it out Sunday without disu
  16. This team genuinely seems to like each other and straddle that line between finding joy in each win while keeping their eyes on the goal and not getting rattled in games. It's likely a combination of the veteran makeup and the personalities of the players, Terry being a little less tightly wound than Beard, and the crucible that is the big 12. I felt like we had a stretch at the end of the season where every game was versus a top 20 team, and the only one that wasn't beat us (tech). It's hard as fans not to love this team. You could see it on the court today. That was a team effort on defense and once they figured out Disu was on fire, they kept just feeding him the ball. End of the game, gonna savor this S16 and feel pretty good about our next game and hopefully 3 more.
  17. Bennett's a home run and he falls into that sweet spot of elite in every aspect except recruiting. Not sure how much he'd use the portal. Still, to a certain extent Texas, through its inherent additions and a robust nil program (thank you to those that have built this), recruits at a decent baseline irrespective of the coach. I don't know that this isn't a situation where an elite x's and O's guy doesn't do better than an elite recruiter (calipari). College basketball also lends itself to experience trumping pure talent. Beard initially approached through the portal to build quickly and given his track record, would have likely focused on the portal for a large portion. Bennett might not, though we would likely see some use with greater resources. However, I bet he'd be elite in taking talent and developing and there is a lot of talent in Texas. Go get him CDC!
  18. Co-OC or just drinking buddy? I want to see a sitcom staring Rumlin and Locksley, coaches by day, drinking buddies by night. What shenanigans will they be up to next? Maybe Herman could be a recurring guest? I can even see an episode where his girlfriend tries to push him out of a plane while it's in the air. I know it's crazy but it just might work....
  19. Aggy better extend and up petrino's salary before he gets poached.....
  20. I for one love the move. Think about all those offenses at Notre Dame where Rees was able to overcome the talent differential between air force, Boston college and other powerhouses. Now with bama's talent differential I expect he'll regularly score in the 20s. I was really worried bama was going to erase the Golding/BOB mistakes by being aggressive and getting two dynamic coordinators. It's good to see that on one side he's not. Maybe he can go grab Diaz and complete the overhaul
  21. 10K words is a tweet from ian boyd. I bet Roach's behind the scenes account will be 25% recruiting, 25% worship of texas high school coaches and 50% discussion of the where to get the best chicken fried steak....aka a normal page on surly.
