  1. Oof.. depth is more important than ever before with a 12 team playoff, don't think aggy has any. The Elk may manage to cobble together a decent starting lineup on both sides of the ball, but they're just a few key injuries away from a late Jimbo-like disaster season.
  2. If you could get me crowd sourced off this godforsaken pit of insanity that would do wonders for my work production.
  3. Pretty sure I'm a few years younger than you and in decent shape in spite of my alcohol consumption, but I'd really enjoy you trying to grab my ear...as would everyone else in the room.[emoji28]
  4. Where at any point in time did I say Blue was rated higher than Baxter or I thought he should have been above him on the depth chart? We have people getting paid good money to make those decisions, their career is on the line, not mine. All I said is basically this: if Blue is a malcontent then I havent heard any specifics on that, only what we all assumed about him when he skipped (quit on his team) his senior year. I also assumed he was where he was on the depth chart last year based on field performance, nothing more than that. Quinn also skipped his senior year (you could also call that quitting on his team) the only difference is he graduated early and went to tOSU...but still could have helped his team win a state title but was thinking of himself more than that. Blue was also thinking of only himself, but because he didn't come in and grab a starting spot right away..that's somehow worse? If he really is doing the same to the Longhorns that he did to his HS team, what does that say about Sark/Choice that he's still on the roster today?
  5. I'm fully aware of that and thought the same way as everyone else here about that. Guess you missed the part where I watched him being interviewed about it and what he said made sense? That could have been rehearsed bullshit but it sounded sincere. In any case what he did to his HS team doesn't mean anything now, and apparently he hasn't quit on the Longhorns or he would have had the coaching staff helping him pack his bags after announcing he was hitting the portal. Is that an unreasonable assumption?
  6. Ethics? Ethics in here? Since when is that a thing. I'm not unaware Blue was 3rd string last year in spite of being rated higher (before skipping his senior year) than JB and true Freshman Baxter named the starter. I thought it was purely on talent eval by Choice/Sark, I missed anything said about his character. Why didn't Sark say bye bye when he announced he was entering the portal? I don't think a RB that wasn't getting the touches he expected threatening to portal was any worse than a starting WR (no names here) doing the same after every season, just maybe a little less publicly?
  7. Bellinger (among others) doesn't seem to understand only a few hundred kids of redasses truly care about their precious bonfire, and they're correct in assuming the non-sanctioned ones will still happen since there's no way the aggy admin can allow multiple kegs to be onsite during the building. Not to mention a construction company would need to be heavily involved...so no students putting on overalls, taking a pull from their red cup and climbing up on the thing. Doesn't that kinda ruin the whole turdition?
  8. Huh? What did I say.. The first post you quoted was in response to multiple people telling me I was wrong for saying the second thing you quoted without saying why...some really have no idea, they were just going along with CTJ. Congrats on being late to the party and digging up something that long since passed.
  9. I somehow missed any discussion of Blue being some sort of team cancer, guilty as charged.
  10. I posted a lot of angry rants on the shag during the Chuckie/Tom years, nothing worthwhile.
  11. Pro-tip: If you're going to call someone out then provide examples of why what I said is wrong. Nobody has done that so far..
  12. Maybe there were, I wasn't aware of them. In fact I was always surprised by the lack of waves he caused based on what we thought he was going to be like. I watched a podcast interview with him (4th and Longhorn?) a little while back where he explained why he skipped his senior season. Of course that could be complete bullshit but sounded sincere and reasonable the way he explained it.
  13. Browsing the board and occasionally posting isn't the same as paying attention. Guess I missed all the Blue controversy. I knew about him entering the portal, but also know he came back out pretty quickly. If the coaching staff didn't want him around he would be somewhere else doing his thing.
  14. So everyone who doesn't see a path to starting and enters the portal has attitude issues? Apparently Blue's wasn't too bad since he was either talked into coming back and/or allowed to come back if he decided on his own.
  15. Blue never had an attitude problem, it was the media (and us to a degree) projecting that sort of thing onto him because he skipped his senior year. We sort of had the same concerns about Quinn as well if we dig deep in the memory banks.. These days I'm not sure a 5* skipping their senior year would cause such speculation..but probably would anyway.
  16. If you can't even sleep it off in your car (engine off) then what chance does this have of being allowed by law?
  17. Maybe so, but there was a stark difference between playing Bama in Austin with Rig12 refs versus Tuscaloosa with SEC zebras. I can't be the only one that noticed the refreshing lack of 10 minute game stoppages for what should be easy to spot on replay in about 10 seconds, and pretty much allowing receivers and DB's to do battle without ticky tacky bullshit. Of course that was only one crew, the SEC may be just as bad, but from the few SEC vs SEC games I watched the games seemed to flow much better.
  18. I think we should have gone west and saved the Pac, but that's just me. All the Pac leadership had to do is either tolerate LHN for a few years until the contract ran out, or negotiate with ESPN like the SEC did. Instead they chose the "unalive themselves" option, and here we are. There's no way a Pac that included USC, UCLA, Stanford, Oregon, Washington (all the others I can't be bothered to type) PLUS Texas, OU, Tceh and Okie Lite wouldn't be a worthy rival for the B1G and SEC. The 3 super conferences could have added all the worthwhile programs that make geographic sense, leaving all the left behinds to form their own conference..geographic sense be damned. Ahh well, C'est la vie.
  19. Well, neither were Tim Beck, Drew Mehringer and so on, but they among other wastes of oxygen are still drawing paychecks and choosing "football coach" as their profession on tax paperwork.
  20. I know in the past NFL teams tolerated much worse than a DUI, but times have changed. I don't know exactly what this will cost him, but it won't go unnoticed. I will say I was on the "Byron Murphy will go before Sweat" bandwagon back when that was an unpopular opinion, this just widens the gap further. I'm still a Sweat fan and think he can have a great career if he keeps his weight in check, but if I were a GM I'd take Murphy first.
  21. Variables such as it's not likely he didn't eat before or during...so add a couple drinks to that.
  22. Gotdammit, this will likely cost him a few rounds, doh![emoji85]
  23. Oh wow, looking forward to another season with Sunbelt Billy running the show has got to be rough. (I lived through the Chuckles and Turtle Tom eras, so I feel ya) I guess the thinking among the AD (whoever does the hiring and firing) is that if Billy can get through the '24 schedule with only 3 or 4 losses the pressure to shitcan him will be less..and also save a lot of money?
  24. I stopped giving a shit about the Rig12 long before we left, but I'll occasionally watch a game here and there if I think it will be a good one. Everything in the SEC is new to us, so even games against Moo State, Vandy etc will have a little something extra the first few seasons, but after that it won't be any more exciting than going to Lawrence Kansas or the little big apple. However I am expecting the quality of athletes to be a bit better across the board vs the lower tier Big12 teams since (other than Vandy) they can recruit a bit better simply because they have the SEC logo. I love the cognitive dissonance among aggy and even other SEC fanbases crying about our "weak" schedule. I mean it's still an SEC schedule and we've been hearing for decades about "how it just means more" and "SEC teams are built different" and all that jazz, yet we have a weak schedule? Does not compute..
  25. Suck it rams! Btw, sideshow only has one more season, right?
