Cross-posting -- Great CTJ post today on FCB
Full Ride on XM 84 this morning had Childers and Roy Philpott because Neuheisel was doing work for CBS in prep for the season. Apparently CBS will have a preview show on this weekend, so mental note there for anyone who needs another fix from Brian Jones, Neuheisel and the other guys they'll have on there chopping it up.
Anyway, the first two hours of the show involved a ton of Texas discussion. They had resident shithead Chip Brown on and he immediately proceeds to tell them that Texas has no business being ranked #1. He runs down Manning as inexperienced and then recounts personnel losses.
Philpott: "Who would you have #1?"
Brown: "Clemson"
Philpott: "Clemson? Texas just beat them in a game that wasn't really close for most of the game. Why Clemson?"
Brown: "They return everybody and they've all gotten better. Klubnik is a stud and is the best QB in the country. Dabo is a championship coach. I just don't think Texas is ready."
How in the world is that shitty motherfucker still allowed credentials to this program? He's another one of these buffoons that are constantly negative about the program they cover. This is a guy who has written hit pieces designed to harm the program as a means, allegedly, of paying off gambling debt. He's never said an informed thing that any other writer or talking head couldn't have said better when talking to a national audience. It's despicable.
The rest of their discussions that meandered in and out of Texas for 2025 were all positive. Hell, Joe Cook was on Off Campus yesterday and he did a fine job and sounded relatively informed. It's not that hard to just not be a fuck up.
