  1. I’d be ok taking a late-rising tackle prospect (or a flip from Weston Davis) in addition to Carter.
  2. I’m not sure I get your take. He didn’t look uncoordinated. His feet weren’t bad. He lacks some flexibility and knee-bend, but he kept his feet moving really well in those highlights and stayed on his blocks a long time. He’s actually a decent technician. Good hand fit inside the shoulders, got outside quickly to seal the edge, didn’t cross over dropping in pass pro, kept great separation from the defender in pass pro, pulled well, etc. He got on smaller defenders and stayed on them without holding, which is difficult for someone who isn’t coordinated. You say he’d have trouble blocking Simmons. No shit? So you’re saying he doesn’t look like a Kelvin Banks-type generational talent. If that’s what we’re supposed to be waiting on, good luck filling a recruiting class. I think the guy looks like a take, especially if we’re looking to move him inside. He’s got a nasty streak, too. Not saying he’s a day-one starter, but I’m fine with the offer.
  3. I believe Buzz meant to say, “To Affinity and Beyond.”
  4. I’m not so sure about that. Baylor’s response was to burn it all down and take Lebby and Kendall with them. Baylor may have paid something, but it was absolutely minuscule compared to what Art wanted. Baylor won that game of chicken for sure.
  5. Mack sure as shit didn’t develop them like Sark (Flood).
  6. Perhaps you can explain the reason for your superlative after the commitment?
  7. I must’ve missed the second silent. Awesome if it’s Baker.
  8. And Bama got their last touchdown due to an egregious, uncalled block in the back.
  9. I know what you’re saying, but we were also the victims of our own mistakes, which we will have an opportunity to address. Blown blocking assignments, dropped touchdowns, bad reads on run fits, missed field goals... It was both teams’ second game. We were the better team. If Texas doesn’t fix some of their issues, but every other team does fix their problems, sure, we could be in trouble. I get the sense that we will continue improving throughout the season, though. What we saw on Saturday was not a finished product.
  10. The folks I know who have actually seen the reports and full phone/text records through the discovery process (there were civil lawsuits) have told me that what happened absolutely was heinous and explosive. Scores of forcible rapes and active cover-ups by Art, Kendall and Lebby. Every one of them. It was unimaginably bad.
  11. 1) Were you in the student section? My experience may have been tainted because of my seats. 2) Was it a night game? 3) Was the stadium full? Their fans, especially the students, give no shits about non-con doormat games.
  12. My brother was a strength coach at LSU in the late 2000s. He has a ring from 07. I went to many night games. There is a weight room in the north end of the LSU stadium with a secret access door to one of the tunnels that bypasses security. My brother would send us in through that door and we’d sit in the student section. Obviously, I was gracious enough not to wear orange, plus I have always had a strong self-preservation instinct. One time they were playing Ole Miss in a very down year for Ole Miss. A bunch of equipment managers from Texas went to the game and found their way into the student section not far from me. Texas had a bye that weekend. These guys had bought LSU hats to show they were rooting for LSU, but they wore their school issued Texas jackets, as it was mid November and a little brisk at night. These nutria-fucking mouth breathers turn their attention from the game, where their team was struggling with a bad Ole Miss squad, and begin to offer violence to these poor equipment managers, who are clearly rooting for LSU. I really thought an ass-beating was imminent. By the end of the game, I was rooting for Ole Miss, despite LSU being my brother’s employer. I won’t be going to a game there wearing burnt orange.
