  1. I know. But much like Petrino, it’ll be Elko’s playbook and he’ll be very involved. He’s not goin to hire somebody that runs the Flyover.
  2. I should have worded that better. I meant to say a Kevin Steele type. But yeah hiring Steele away would be the empty splash hire that aggy is always pounding their chests about.
  3. The Robinson back story will be interesting if we ever get a true accounting. My observations: - Elko was hired because he’s malleable to the aggy decision makers. Namely their edict to retain the defensive staff, especially Robinson. - Some smoke that Elko felt uncomfortable with how much influence Robinson had in the locker room. - Elko cuts off his nose to spite his face and tries to give Robinson a cute title and a raise to retain him. Just bizarre. Elko is going to call his defense. He just needs a puppet with a headset. - Instead, Elko loses one of the best recruiters in the country and dynamites his Northeast pipeline. - I don’t even know who the candidates are for DC. Elko doesn’t have a coaching tree outside of Santucci and Robinson. I bet Elko goes with an old timer like Kevin Steele that likes money and blinding following orders.
  4. The Hornsby screenshots will be interesting. If they’re pissed, they just don’t understand how recruiting works. The kid is from Jersey and Robinson was his primary recruiter. Of course he’s going to go with him to Syracuse. The same thing would happen to Bama or Georgia.
  5. Different offense without Tank. They need to cut number 85.
  6. The throw it at Juice every play offense doesn’t seem to be working.
  7. Space City Sports should grab every playoff game in NRG. I believe they carried a Thursday night game throughout the season. I doubt we see we see a statewide cable or cable adjacent option. TexanLive seems to have the broadcast rights sewn up. I’ll enjoy the state championships on Balley’s this year because this could be it.
  8. Just laziness really. Fong exchanges recruiting bumps for information from Elko. At least we’ll know aggy is completely out of it when Fong puts in a CB for Texas. Pate just likes to talk. He doesn’t like to research. His producers hand him all the statistics he uses on his show. He also doesn’t like to verify. If Looch or Fong tells him something he just parrots it back on YouTube.
  9. I hope Lagway sticks. The UF fanbase has basically said they’ll push to fire Sun Belt Billy if Lagway doesn’t sign with them.
  10. Yep I had almost forgotten the Elko-Fong slobberfest angle. aggy is locked into a top 10 class for the duration of the Elko era. Looking forward to mysterious bumps for injured OL and obscure QBs. And of course Fong will relay this to Pate who will keep the aggy hype train going nationally. Clickty clack.
  11. aggy way overpaid to keep Iy away from LSU right? I doubt Texas is involved.
  12. Solid post. I’d agree Anderson is 1 year away from the NFL. He’s comfortable at aggy. He’s certainly being compensated well by aggy. Plus he’s a star player that the new HC desperately needs to hold on to, so he has carte blanche to skip as many practices and workouts as he wants. It’d be a different story at Bama or Texas.
  13. UF is more fucked than aggy. Sun Belt Billy is getting dunked on by a 15 year old drama club kid. Truly staggering. Florida folks on Surly seem alright, but we need every starter and recruit they can send our way.
  14. I see some dark days ahead. They’ll get reamed in the portal and on NSD1. They’ll overpay for late signees in NSD2. I think Bjork gets canned on a Friday news dump in late February. He’s too young to fake a retirement, and too radioactive for a soft landing.
  15. Not sure if it’s an either or situation, but I think Princely fits the defense better than Moore. That said, our pass rush could get a lot better and Moore could get us there. I think we need a NT to replace Sweat in a bad way. We need somebody like that to make PK’s defense work. Caldwell from Coug High is the guy I really want. Worth every penny of $500k if the rumor is true.
  16. I received a giveaway pair of UT Crocs while I was in school. Awesome house shoes and for running quicks errands. They weren’t grotesque like the picture above. Much more low profile. They were gray with a Longhorn on the toe, and Texas on the straps. Great shoes. Lost them in a move.
  17. Midtown Houston crackheads don’t mind the line.
  18. Ringer’s The Watch had a pretty good breakdown of Episode 3. Just too much shit going on. “Felt like they put the whole storyboard in one episode.” I’d agree. The sin eater stuff was very cool. Just make a season about a weirdo immortal Scottish assassin. Everybody is happy. FX has produced much stranger shows. Instead… we get Juno Temple as Kevin from Home Alone and Jon Hamm as the Marlboro man. Every season has gotten worse with a cliff drop after Season 2. I’m not sure there’s a fix here. The Coen Bros aren’t really interested in making movies right now. They’ll never touch TV. Noah Hawley is lost. Maybe a Billy Bob prequel would work, but he’s not getting any younger and he’s needs to be in it for it to work.
