  1. I'm less worried about RB. We're relatively deep there. I'm more concerned with Neyor. Hope he's alright. Expecting a big year from him. Sounds like it might be okay? Probably gonna rest him until the start of the season. I don't think we can dismiss what we're hearing about the QB competition. It sounds like no QB pulled away. I wonder if this competition could stretch another week or (god help us) into the season. I just hope we have it sorted out by the Alabama game. The defense winning the day doesn't concern me as much. We need them to be the stronger unit. A shut-down defense will give the offense extra opportunities. It's been a while since we had a ball-hawking defense flying around making plays.
  2. Seriously. That man has real commitment when he sets his mind to something.
  3. Does this tool think he's going to earn himself fans being a moralist and running off our players? He's gotta be one of the dumbest SOBs ever. FCB. Suspend the kid for half of the first game and that's it.
  4. I gotta say... I am a huge fan of this strategy of recruiting a whole o-line in the same class and letting them play together and develop chemistry as a unit, on and off the field, pitting them against the existing o-line. It could backfire, I guess, if the existing o-line is replaced en masse. But it's more likely that some of the freshmen will get pulled up, rather than all of them. But that chemistry should endure.
  5. I don't know why anyone would be surprised by his performance. Milton had 722 yards on 35 receptions (a 20.6 yard average) in 2019. He's been a performer at the FBS level. Stupid OB.
  6. Half of these (the bits in bold) are actually good strategies. I know I'm on this site but I actually don't mind if the coaching staff cracks down, limits information, and takes better control of the team's public image. It could actually do some good considering media meddling and shit-stirring has been one of the main problems for this program over the past decade. Fuck the media, fuck the players who talk shit on the sly, and honestly fuck the fans who create distractions for the players, too. Making it a situation of The Team vs. Everyone could possibly work.
  7. No, in all likelihood, it was in response to FCB (or whoever) badmouthing Hall and Billingsley's character. Revoke their access permanently. They don't belong in there.
  8. Ewers looks calm, composed. Card looks a little stiff, nervous, frantic, rushed. I mean, Card has actually played in college games, behind a bad offensive line, so maybe that's why he's playing like that, but I don't think it leads to good decision-making.
  9. Seriously. Fuck these blood-sucking leaches (Ketch, FCB, Bohls, and Brian Davis). I'd rather get no observations from them than have to deal with the fallout from them stirring up fabricated drama.
  10. Y'all, we have fifteen 4-star DBs on our roster. If we can't make a solid secondary out of that, I don't know what to say. FWIW, I think we will.
  11. I don't get why people are acting like the kicking job is going to Will Stone when Bert Auburn is a 5-star recruit with a year of experience in the program.
  12. Holy shit, this was frustrating to watch.
  13. Low res pic rom the Statesman
  14. Someone make your kid get a job at the Moody Center so we can get some good pics https://www.kvue.com/article/money/economy/boomtown-2040/austin-moody-center-hiring/269-e1287a58-35d9-466e-99cc-b14b4691b63d
  15. Actual pic of Whittington's ligaments.
  16. My point is that our coaches and 9.95 writers have been shitty at recognizing when someone is the better player and deserves to start. Better players have sat longer than they should have. Thompson, Bijan, Wiley, etc. It's not always cut and dried. A player may be a play-maker in the comfy confines of practice but have terrible nerves in game environments. Coaches have to be able to evaluate personalities in addition to athleticism. This old "he has to earn it" mentality is dogmatic and masturbatory. If a coach picks a guy (regardless of the circumstances) and he proves it on game day, no one is going to second-guess him.
  17. I'm just going to put forward that Ewers is probably actually ahead of Card, the people in charge/attendance just can't see that. This happens every year with us. It's part of the reason we've sucked.
  18. We don't. All we know is ball go forward or ball go backward.
  19. I'd imagine they'd prorate the salaries of the arena workers for the percentage of time UT uses the facility. Shouldn't be a difficult formula.
  20. I feel like pics of the Moody Center have really dried up. Probably on purpose. They're seemingly trying to make the big reveal as surprising as possible.
  21. Seriously. I expected a big reveal. Still have blue balls.
  22. Damn. WTF? The team is going to be intimately familiar with it by that point. Aren't they moving in there soon to start practicing, training, etc?
  23. Sooo... when is the big reveal video?
