  1. So A&M has hired (or at least said they are hiring) the OC from KSU and the OL from Duke (that was tied to the Northwestern hazing scandal) and?

    Since the Elko hire they have lost Petrino and E Robinson and have stated Addazio and St and Condition staff are all gone and the rest are in limbo. Of those guys, who do you think is actively recruiting to keep their current class together?

    In a way, I am somewhat shocked that they have still anyone still committed.

    Isnt there like an expected domino effect if this happened. I could have sworn we had this discussion earlier if Diaz went to a HC gig then "X" was going to make a move that was relevant to us or lulz aggy...

  3. So it sounds like Israel is finally going to setting up the infrastructure to begin flooding the tunnels under Gaza. 
     

    From a military perspective, I completely understand and agree with the concept. By flooding the tunnels it removes both the ability of Hamas to move unseen and to hide and rest unfettered. This will force Hamas to either pull out or fight in the open, both are to Israel’s benefit.

    What I am concerned with is the tunnel networks are as extensive as some believe, there is the possibility of loss of infrastructure on such a scale that mere bombing will place in comparison. Worse, we will also see, depending on drainage, the potential for both water contamination and waterborne diseases spread that will be on an extreme scale.

    That being said, this is probably an approach that should have been taken earlier and will have a major impact as it rapidly accelerates the timeline by removing Hamas ability to hit and run and recoup by a large margin.

    Hold on, that needs more context.  Let’s not forget the alliance was formed because the SEC was negotiating with Texas and OU in the dark while also setting up the 12-team playoff. Some would consider that was done in bad faith.
     

    I watched FSU play against UL and UF, so I can see why the committee dropped them. And it’s fine to think fsu simply got screwed, that’s fair too.

    But it’s disingenuous to blame the alliance (much less a member institution for the conferences action) for not having a 12-team playoff this year.  

    Well then technically if you want to be pissed at anyone, be pissed at aggy since they are the idiots that leaked the Texas/OU SEC move to try and torpedo it before the CFP expansion vote...

  5. Noticed that only OU from the B12 made a bowl so far, but Missouri, Ole Miss, Tenn and UGA are already out of the SEC pool.

    This is going to make the bowls we are all most interested in, the Texas and Liberty bowls, that much more likely we finally get to see the A&M vs the old Big 12 matchup we are all been waiting for...

    Still have OSU, Kansas, KSU, and TT out there waiting in the weeds for A&M

    One other thing that I can’t take credit for— penalizing a team for losing a player to injury incentivizes staff to either lie about injuries or rush players back before they are ready. 
     

    Like I said earlier, the proper choice was for the CFP to bite the bullet and tell SEC, “sorry, your one loss champ lost its H2H with the other 1 loss champ.” 
     

    The committee had a Sophie’s choice between Texas and the SEC they didn’t want to make and decided to grab someone else’s kid, LOL. 

    You dont think that was on Sarks mind when he had Ewers go right back out there or said Ewers Xrays came back negative... just in case to help avoid that injury perception, especially after losing Brooks...

    Finally using grandpa Whittington and The uncover-able Sanders to their best potential. Helping the RBs find space too. Damn I love this game.

    Curious how much of that is really tied to the fact that Ewers and Sanders are getting healthier and so it makes sense to run the double slants and crosser while still having legit threats outside.

     

    The biggest thing about all of this is that it gives the team 3 weeks to get healthy. Banks, Sanders, Worthy, Ewers, Catalan, Watts, and many more could really use some time to just heal. Facing this team in January is going to be a much different task than what was out there in late Oct early Nov.
