  1. I was hoping for this as well based on his five-star/top 10 prospect pedigree and his very obvious overall talent level. I figured that those things combined with Baker's development skills would create a monster DT - but the more I think about it, the more it seems like it's probably not going to happen. It sounds like his injury was even worse than originally thought and he had a more bad weight to lose than expected. Unfortunately, I think that, despite the apparent rise in play quality during his last little bit at UNC, he still has a long, long way to go. I really hope that I wind up being wrong about this but it seems like a long shot. However, if Maraad Watson and Brevard wind up being as good as advertised (and Kanu the boatload of absurdly talented freshmen develop well), I don't think it will matter much. Fingers crossed for Shaw, though. Him having some kind of Broughton-like awakening would be a game changer
  2. I've only actually ever seen a small part of one Cloverfield movie and the entirety of my thoughts on it are as follows: Mary Elizabeth Winstead is SERIOUSLY underappreciated
  3. She has not. She's more into slasher type stuff these days. Just for the record, she's excellent and extremely caring and gentle with all of our many pets - but I still don't like to turn my back on her for too long
  4. I really like Noah Thomas for one reason: he's the ultimate counter-point to all the UGA bitching about Atkinson and Terry Consider the following: UGA fans: it's not fair for Texas to come into Georgia with an unfair offer for guys we've been recruiting since 8th grade. UT fans: OK, well, what about Noah Thomas? He's a 6'6" athletic freak from League City/HTX area who ran a sub-11 second 100 meter dash and could be huge for UT (and those other dorks up 290 or whatever - but who cares about them? IRRELEVANT) in the red zone? And UGA bought him out from under both hometown teams who wanted him and who had a relationship with him dating back years. In fact, UGA swooped in with the biggest offer to steal the kid from 2 hometown teams. How is that different from whatever you ALLEGE happened with Atkinson and Terry (a version of events that I very much doubt is reflected in reality)? UGA fans: In sum, hypocritical bulldogs can get fucked and I look forward to taking many, many top prospects out of Georgia in the coming years
  5. I think most of us have been there. My youngest was obsessed with watching me play Bloodborne at age 5. She finished my copy of the complete works of HP Lovecraft at 11 and, later that year, when she asked me to show her the movie that scared me the most ever, she didn't bat an eyelash at any of the truly disturbing stuff in Event Horizon. Bright, bight kid and I love her to death but she's definitely wired a little bit differently
  6. Was just about to post this. I don't remember much actually really, really, really frightening me (at least not until Event Horizon came out) but Watership Down traumatized the shit out me Edit: I take that back. There was episode of Tales from the Crypt where some old guy died and it turned out that being dead just meant being trapped and paralyzed in your body with only your own inner monologue for all eternity. That one also fucked my world up pretty good
  7. I think Aranda is about to be in trouble with Little People of America for using the "M-word"
  8. I was thinking about Bowe Bentley's recruitment the other day. Looks like UT and even aggy said "good luck, kid," without even handing out a fake, non-committable offer (although I must concede that, when you get a kid like Bell, there's no need to look any further. But that still doesn't explain aggy taking the much lower rated kid from Utah, unless they're making a horrible mistake, which, well... OK that's very plausible). However, tOSU took a 3-star instead of fighting for Bentley, I'm not sure I buy that UGA ever actually "offered," and LSU, with no current QB commit, also did not seem interested in fighting for him in the slightest. Maybe I'm completely out to lunch on this (and it would be VERY fair to call me an ignorant, know-nothing asshole) but outside of 3 schools that didn't seem to care enough to really recruit Bentley, I'm very much unimpressed by his offer list, particularly given the lack of local-ish powers (sorry, Tech - you don't count). Even TCU, Baylor, and SMU don't seem to have offered. Time will tell but this looks to me like a Haynes King/Jackson Arnold type situation to me. On the other hand, it seems like Duke really wanted him so at least we know his grades are pretty good
  9. I really, really, really want her to somehow insinuate herself into Matt Rhule's organization and become the same glorious mess for the corn that she was for aggy. CFB is just better what Karen is regularly embarrassing some program I hate. Maybe she can move to Athens after that
  10. "A new version of the sort of challenges that have always existed [in SEC recruiting.]" WHAT KIND OF CHALLENGES WERE THOSE, GEORGIA? AND WHO CREATED THOSE CHALLENGES? But, yes, Sark is totally dishonest and Kirby is a complete saint, worried only about the sanctity of the precious concept of "student-athlete." Fucking dunce
  11. The fact that I'm having to dig like this says a lot about the amazing job the staff has done with player retention but... no mention of Andrej Karic? I would think we had a spot on our two-deep for him last year. He did start on a playoff team and won SEC OL of the week after they beat Vandy the last weekend of November Not saying we missed him a ton - just that maybe he would have given us slightly more depth at guard?
  12. I think you're thinking of a different mediocre safety commit. It's confusing - roti, tortillas, and lavash are kind of similar. But it's all still bread in the end
  13. Quick - someone tweet this at Mark Bowman Seriously, though, and I know recruits and their parents aren't paying attention to this shit like we are but how does someone read a line like "USC... is now forced to cut staff and sell off assets to stay afloat" and think, "yup, these guys are definitely going to be able to afford my huge NIL deal?" Selling off team shit? No idea how accurate this is but it sounds fucking grim Also, my sister is in town. My wife and I are supposed to meet her tomorrow at some place called like "the Broiled Peach" or something stupid and trendy like that. I'm definitely now saying "fuck all that, we're going to Conan's. If you don't like it, tough shit. See you at Thanksgiving."
  14. I have considered (kind of) leaving my firm and paying to have an "I SUE THE NCAA" website at the top of Google's search results. Seems like easy money if you can get it. I mean, I would mostly have no idea what I was doing - but when has that ever stopped a lawyer?
  15. The trashiest part of Austin is still a million times better than the very best part of BCS
  16. Such an awesome highlight reel. My favorite is still the first play where he throws the guard the QB Reggie White-style and then runs through the rest of the OL, turns the corner, and makes the tackle for little to no gain
  17. For those who missed it in the other thread: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17372397/66d495ab17498e1c92b9d4bd I'm pretty sure there's an actual fatality at 0:21. Possibly at 2:22 as well
  18. This video would be funny if it wasn't so goddamn stressful to watch live. The play at 0:53 where Suh destroys Hall and then Hall passively watches Suh basically suplex Colt is an all-time post-2006 Texas-MacWhorter-OL moment Also, big shoutout to Greg Davis for thinking it was a good idea to run our star QB inside and right into the best defensive player in CFB that season. And to do it behind THAT OL. An unfortunate portent of things to come
  19. I believe Louisiana also allocated a relatively small but not insignificant portion of the state's payout from the settlement of the AG's lawsuit against Juul to LSU NIL - which is one of the most LSU things I've ever heard Edit. Found it: https://frontofficesports.com/louisiana-ag-uses-juul-settlement-for-nil-deals/
  20. "He made major mistakes in a 34-27 victory over [who gaf]." The NFL and NFL media's attitude to VY summed up in a single sentence, IMO
  21. I mean... ever for you, dude
  22. "Grand Canyon University" sounds like one of those schools that had to forgive all their student loan debt for being, well... not an actual university. Ouch
  23. The thing that Trev doesn't seem to realize is that aggy wasn't second, third, or even fourth. They were somewhere significantly to the right of the red arrow and no one knows where the fuck they were looking because they were well outside the camera frame
