  1. Sure but at a certain point, his age becomes prohibitive. Is aggy going to want to hire a nearly 60 year old coach? I’m not sure.
  2. I’ll probably summon NoName by saying it, but Traylor is the absolute best hire Coug High can make. He’d be their best on the field coach since Pardee, and he’d of course recruit the hell of East Texas. He’s beloved at the THSCA, so you better believe coaches in Greater Houston and San Antonio will send him their best under the radar kids. Personally, I think he should wait on piggy. I don’t see anyway Pittman can dig himself out this hole + beat Texas.
  3. Broadening his reach to South Asian coeds. Respect the game.
  4. The committee has a hard on for Oregon. We need them to beat UW because we’re not passing them. Lesser hard on for Ohio State, but still full chubb. The CFP bangs the table all the time about conference championships, so we should move in front of Ohio State with a win. We also need a Louisville win. It sounds like a crazy parlay. I’m trying to talk myself into it. Oregon should beat UW. Florida State is starting a back up QB against an 11 win team on a neutral field. I just have this gut feeling the Cards let us down.
  5. I’m good with it. Portal LB is probably more important than Smith this offseason. Smith I guess politely canceled on Texas. Got Red Ass Bryant’d and didn’t reschedule. If recruiting was easy, Dan Mullen would be doing it.
  6. Arkansas is truly bad. They’d need a coaching change and to kill it in the portal to make it an interesting game. Especially in mid-November. Yes they hate us, but their season should be underwater when Texas comes to town.
  7. I guess we should have expected this. ESPN never asked aggy-LSU or Texas to move their games to Thanksgiving. They’re perfectly happy using their JV production team to broadcast the Egg Bowl and take the L against the NFL. I’d be cool with a Black Friday night game, but something in the algorithm scared them off. I assume most people shop and then go out to eat on Black Friday. That would kill their primetime window. I don’t love it, but aggy-Texas on Saturday primetime with an Iron Bowl lead in makes a lot of sense for the almighty ratings.
  8. I like the Nordgren comparison. Matt could have won us some games if Vince wasn’t the bionic man. If we need Trey for a 3 game stretch he’ll answer the bell.
  9. If the SEC traded aggy a home game for a yes vote to make Texas and OU unanimous, I’d be pissed. I understand conference unity and that, but this isn’t the Politburo. Every vote doesn’t have to be unanimous. If anything an aggy no vote being publicly reported would have let the entire nation know we live in their heads rent free. I’m sure it’ll come out in Sharp’s autobiography ghost written by Brent Z.
  10. Carter might be it, but he reaffirmed his commitment to Auburn recently. I don’t think a last second loss to Bama is going to change a thing.
  11. The SEC went to great pains to explain this during the initial announcement. It’s based on conference winning percentage since 2012. Texas has sucked for the past 10 years. OU has not. All these regards had to do was go to the SEC website.
  12. The SEC is very good at what they do. If they field 55 scholarship players, aggy will beat Wisky. The K State freshman QB could give them some trouble.
  13. I assume you were able to generate this based on the process of elimination? If true, I’m good with it. Plenty of breaks in the schedule with 2 byes and a mix of an easy opponent after a difficult opponent.
  14. Bally’s Southwest lists HS Football at 7pm CST with no description. LT-Westlake play at 2, so not happening.
  15. Correct. I’ll bet you cash money Herbie calls both games.
  16. I’d rather play aggy on Thanksgiving or Black Friday, but The Mouse wants no part of the NFL, and they can work around Fox because Michigan-Ohio State is always at 11am CST. I assume it’ll be Iron Bowl at 230pm. Texas-aggy in primetime.
  17. Sportscenter dropped some 2024 schedule snippets.
  18. Texas asking Smith to push his visit back was pretty curious. Ceded time and momentum back to aggy. I wonder if they have a portal LB in the bag. How’s Hibbler’s senior film? He appears to be a hotter recruit than Lindsey right now.
  19. As always, unintentionally funny. Some highlights: - Peppers aggy isn’t a clown show/dumpster fire/circus after the Stoops Mutiny. He does admit the circus was pretty close to coming to town. He’s trying out “Aggy Spring” as the nickname for the uprising. - 5 solid minutes of the team playing hard for ERob bullshit. - A guy on Twitter challenged Looch to a fight at TexAgs and stated David Nuno couldn’t speak English. This despite Nuno speaking English for years on both television and radio. Given the nonsensical racist accusation, I’m guessing it was daddy98. - Claims the Stoops Mutiny was organic, spontaneous, and unplanned. Yeah, TexAgs leaking it had nothing to do with it. - Stated it’s pretty normal for schools to use Twitter polls as trial balloons for coaching hires. - Most surprising of all, Looch thought it would be ERob as of Sunday morning. He said it was down to Elko and ERob and the dropped this gem: “I think they’ll go with a younger guy and incentivize his contract.” Uh, that’s not Elko.
  20. So Raymond going the way of the dinosaur, and Frank Wilson still practicing the dark arts in the bayou, right?
  21. The 247 talent pool is pretty shallow. Roach was just PROMOTED to national analyst.
  22. Bud Elliott counterpoint, he never mentioned Jimbo’s “personal issues” in his farewell column at Tomahawk Nation. Just a lot of aggy has more money, the Florida State program has gone stale, Jimbo is getting a 2nd chance in the SEC. https://www.tomahawknation.com/platform/amp/2017/12/1/16702442/jimbo-fisher-texas-am-florida-state-fsu-coach-saturday I can understand not bringing Jimbo’s ex-wife/family issues into it, but not saying he’s a stubborn prick, good riddance in 2017 and the. dropping the I told you so in 2023 is some self serving 9.95 bullshit.
  23. I’d imagine a lot of the safety issues could get fixed in the offseason. The personnel should improve and Gideon could get better at his job/on the same page with PK.
