And I almost feel the converse of the old Groucho Marx quip: “I refuse to take any man who would want to be a part of that club!”
And that’s fair.

Flip and commit and let's close down the OL class.
I’d be ok taking a late-rising tackle prospect (or a flip from Weston Davis) in addition to Carter.

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.

I think Baylor football had a freshman player initiation that involves running a train on a girl. If they couldn’t find a willing one, they’d roofie one.
That’s pretty heinous, if the HC knew and didn’t start a criminal investigation. (He did know and he didn’t start a CI).
Baylor fired him and wasn’t going to pay him. Briles figured out how much silence was worn to to Baylor, and he called their bluff, threatening to talk. They paid.
This one kind of slid under the radar- Briles’ S&C coach, Kaz Kazadi, was in the middle of all this. He ended up at SMU and Dykes brought him to TCU with him.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.

Anyone else miss the old thread title?
also Baker is the biggest lock that’s ever been locked (at least to verbally and publicly commit)
Perhaps you can explain the reason for your superlative after the commitment?

I had a friend involved with the process at the time try to sell me on Kubiak. This person is a good friend who is extremely knowledgeable and respected in his field, which involves CFB. I have never been more brutally dismissive to that person in the 20+ years we've known each other than at that moment. I could not fucking hear that Kubiak was a candidate and also have someone trying to actively present an argument to me in Kubiag's favor. It still irritates me. I am still dubious that they really considered him, but that's always been the company line.
Makes me a little sick to my stomach.

Fuck this, dude.
Worthy dropped two touchdown passes. Jaylan Ford dropped an INT in the end zone. Watts dropped a pick in the end zone.
And Bama got their last touchdown due to an egregious, uncalled block in the back.

Since this thread features a lot of analysis I will throw in a few comments here.
After rewatching bama game a 2nd time, we don't want to (as CTJ says) fall into the trap of "sniffing our own farts".
Bama is a good team, but made a lot of mistakes on Saturday that kept drives alive for Texas or took points off the board for bama. The Longhorns made huge strides in this game especially in the 4th qtr.
Glad to see Sark get Quinn in rhythm early in this game to help his confidence. I'm not sure bama's defense played a good game as coverages were blown and they didn't disguise much.
Hope this Texas team keeps working hard and improving. Our defense has the potential to be really great this year. Gonna be interesting to see how our offense does against, baylor, blOU, k-state, and tcu.
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.

Venables can just wait until October 8 and scapegoat him. That buys him another season in CFB these days. Year 1 is "we're rebuilding", Year 2 is firing a coordinator, and Year 3 is blaming the players or getting fired, depending upon the school, whenever a HC is a clear failure.
I think a lot of people have lambasted programs for hiring either guy. The problem is, there are enough people and programs out there that care less about integrity and student welfare than they do about winning. Who has hired either guy?
For Briles: Lane Kiffin at FAU in 2017 - we know that guy doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself; UH with a desperate Applewhite; FSU with a desperate Taggert and a history of covering up rape and other shit; Arkansas in the SEC backwater; and TCU, under a slimy Sonny Dykes and a history of cheating as a program.
For Lebby: UCF under Heupel, someone accustomed to the old OU way of doing things (no offense, but come on); Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss and we know his bullshit; and then Venables at OU, a man cloaked in the fabric of God and Jesus while he's helped cheat the program's ass off at OU and then Clemson. Let's not act like OU gives a shit about protecting women from athletes. All of this shit from Venables and Castiglione is theater simply because JC knows how to read a room.
The notion that Art Briles didn't know things is so laughably absurd that it simply deserves to be immediately dismissed out of hand when someone attempts to present it. The guy was getting text updates on the reg and the sheer volume of players and females involved means that the rape factory was institutionally run. The stuff presented in that report was so heinous that they chose to destroy it/bury it rather than ever have it find the light of day.
Further, whenever the guy even gets vaguely close to sniffing a gig somewhere, someone shows up with some sort of evidence file to dissuade the powers that be from moving forward. Whatever is being presented must be quite explosive, given that every school, outside of some Texas HS backwater for a year, has immediately turned around and called off the hire.
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.

I visited for the Troy game in 2004 (I had friends in BR at the time) and had no issue in full Texas attire, but I've also heard from other SEC school fans it's the worst place to go.
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.

Went to the Shoe in 2005, other than the periodic F-you shouted from the out-of-reach passerby I had a good experience but I think my experience was the exception. Also went up there for the OSU-Michigan game in 2018, sat in the "big cigar" section and was shocked by how some of them were talking and acting. They were killing Michigan in the game and the vitriol was flowing ( 50-70 year olds mainly).
I was expecting that the 1998 Nebraska game would be a good parallel for this weekend's Bama crowd. Nebraska fans were very cordial, even in the loss, telling us how glad they were that we got to come up, etc. Great experience overall. That obviously changed dramatically by 2010, where we were greeted less cordially to put it mildly.
BAMA has nothing to prove, they have won 6 titles in 14 years, etc. Certainly, there were several nice people who welcomed us and were very friendly but many more who were obnoxious and way too proud of shouting "horns down" to every person in burnt orange they could spot. My 10 YO was with me and at one point as we are walking over by the ESPN Gameday setup a group shouts "HORNS DOWN" to which I reply with a Hook 'em!! while continuing to walk past them. Then one of them follows with "Hey, Fuck you and your son!" I gave a quick head turn, found who I thought the culprit was, flashed him a Hook 'em and kept walking. My son asked, "why would they do that?" I told him essentially to not worry about what stupid people do or say. Overall, a good trip and wouldn't hesitate to go back for a game but won't have any faulty expectations of cordiality.
Went to Auburn @ LSU in 2013 for a night game, had a great time but was wearing purple and gold. Will plan to go back when UT plays there, hopefully it won't be too bad.
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.
