  1. Indiana played Old Dominion, Indiana State and Kennesaw State in non conference play. Schools I didn’t even know had a football program until this year. It is ridiculous a school can do that and be evaluated in the same sandbox as a Texas or Ohio State.
  2. Wisner himself should know and understand that how he has been used the last few years is not optimal or sustainable. If he wants to go try to get 20 carries a game somewhere else, let him because he ain't getting that here in 2026.
  3. Funny how DeAndre Moore said he looked up to and molded himself after Jordan Whittington, and basically everything he has done the last two years is the opposite of what Whittington would do. Daylan McCutcheon can probably offer somewhere in the same ballpark of what Moore did at 1/3rd the cost and that's before you factor in any portal additions. I really can't think of many moments the last few years where Moore did something that the average college receiver couldn't do. Most of his production comes on stuff that is schemed up.
  4. I'm not too interested in running off a sophomore receiver who caught 50 balls for 770 yards unless he is asking for Cam Coleman money or something ridiculous. Our OC didn't even properly utilize him until October. This feels like some of the same commentary you heard about Worthy after his sophomore year (gadget guy, athlete trying to play receiver, inconsistent hands) and I'm glad we didn't run him off.
  5. That reminds me, it is so damn stupid that active Athletic Directors are on this committee determining playoff spots. The entire committee should be former coaches, players, people who actually know the game. Hell, get Joel Klatt in there. Not fundraisers who hand out dumb coaching contracts every few years.
  6. Justin Wells on Corey Wells: Auburn is working overtime to try and flip both Corey Wells and his brother, 2026 linebacker Chris Wells (three-star South Alabama commit). While Texas has not offered Chris, he does have a spot at Texas waiting for him and some offsets the blur lines between walk-on and scholarship player. Texas has a good chance to hold on but we're watching what happens with Auburn's defensive coordinator. If Alex Golesh retains DJ Durkin at defensive coordinator the road gets a little more difficult as Durkin has a solid relationship in place. With the expectation of losing Vodney Cleveland, Texas is working overtime to keep the highly talented 6-foot-5, 330 pounds Wells. He possesses significant upside at a position that is always a need.
  7. Florida isn’t letting Jaden Baugh leave. Sumrall singled him out in his opening press conference by name. Probably time to let that pipedream go. For Coleman, it probably comes down to the ability to sell him on fixing the QB spot to make sure he has a good draft year. That veer and shoot offense Golesh is bringing is super WR friendly.
  8. Looks like we were 56th in the first NET rankings last year. Climbed as high as 25th before finishing 40th.
  9. It was mentioned on one of the 9.95 sites that Royal isn't from Louisiana and only recently moved there, so he may not have the in-state attachment a typical Louisiana kid would.
  10. Nahlin on Justus Terry (I guess some rumors were brought up on 247 that he was transferring?) "I'd be surprised if he left. He's quite happy at UT. Lance Jackson type of kid."
  11. IT reiterated this morning in an article that they do not expect Akina back
  12. Definitely feels like we are a guy short on the DL this class. Gerry has been saying we will probably look in the portal for a guy to play over the ball. I guess that’s a much better place to be in at DT than the last few offseasons where we needed 3-4 guys.
  13. Gerry said another recruit told him Lee was there so he reported it.
  14. IT mod put in a flip pick for Jamarion Carlton to the good guys. Was at the game again tonight.
  15. No. Derek Cooper committed to Texas a month after we weren’t in his top 5 because of the academics.
  16. Gerry said later in the thread it is straight NIL
  17. 10 point leads with 20 minutes to go against ranked opponents usually don’t go easy
  18. Also an obvious offensive foul.
  19. There are a lot of great coaches who didn’t have good first years at their new schools, even in the portal era. I see some big picture signs that give me hope (recruiting, an actual system being implemented), even if the wins don’t come in bunches this year. Crazy thing to do after 7 games of a tenure but I’ll give him some time to untangle this thing. There weren’t exactly a lot of great things going for the program when he took over.
  20. IT said Jamarion Carlton might be back on campus again on Friday. Seems like that is trending nicely.
