  1. For real how many times are we going to extend drives running into punters before the coaches do something about it? I've never seen a team that does it so much since Sark/Banks got here. A lot of blocks too but jeez. Also just fair catch the damn kickoffs against good teams who have equal athletes.

    Surprised no one is talking about the tackling in this game. How many times did their QB, RB, or WRs look bottled up and then somehow pick up an extra chunk of yards? Meanwhile other than Brooks, our guys all went down pretty much as soon as a defender got to them.

    Other than the last 2 minutes I would pin this one too much on the gameplan/playcalling. This game was lost by turnovers, poor tackling, and penalties. I agree the 3rd and 9 and the prevent defense were atrociously dumb though
  4. Despite the bad first quarter, Quinn played well today. My only major knocks on him were the first INT and his pocket presence (taking sacks, running short of a first when he had more time to look for WRs).
  5. Love this post. We have a top 10 defense with a ton of 3 stars right now, I'm really not too worried about recruiting with the coaching/development we're finally seeing. Meanwhile Jimbo has developed his players about as well as Turtle Tom. Plus, the portal kinda makes HS recruiting a lot less important.
  6. LOL On3 gotta be the worst feed ever
  7. Speaking of corporate (or moreso small biz / individuals), anyone know if that Opendorse platform has gotten any traction? Always felt like mobilizing all the small businesses in town could pay off big time but harder to crack than companies with big marketing departments, etc.
  8. lol at Missouri law where HS athletes can get NIL only after signing with an in-state school
  9. you don't? There are always good players available at 12.. (and 33 and next year)
  10. Why would that sink us? The guy signed his NLI. UT would still be fulfilling everything they promised. There has to be a cutoff point where guys realize their decision is done. It can be the NLI or it can be move-in day. It has always been the NLI and should stay that way. If he wants to use his one transfer thats his right. But make him use that so the next guy doesnt keep negotiating and bail right before move-in day too.
  11. Yeah anyone who can't admit that RT is struggling mightily has their head in the sand. Abmas was an awesome get but a competent program builder wouldn't be suffering Ls left and right like this. NIL has supposedly been a strength before now and we're coming off a great year with tons of minutes available. No reason we should be losing on all these guys we want.
  12. I don't say this lightly but I'd honestly tell Holland tough shit on his NLI release. This sets a terrible precedence. It'd be different if he did it a month ago with the coaching change but this feels like a simple money grab flip. Impossible to manage a roster with people bailing this late
  13. I dont have a problem with either pick and the aggresiveness was fun to see but that trade was dumb as fuck. Giving up a likely top 10 pick next year (very possibly #1) AND #33 this year??? It wouldve been a bad trade even without 33.
  14. He's athletic too. RT should be all over him imo
  15. Lawrence from vandy is a baller. Athletic and solid shooter.
  16. dude they can just kickoff from 10 yards farther back and it will be the exact same
  17. To be fair, hes never had an interim coach lead a team to a top 10 finish. This situation isnt the same as hiring RT from the outside to be hc.
  18. Chill out dude. I was saying ATM's claims are different from what he wrote. He wrote that ATM is drawing the line between 12th man and 12th man plus. What they're actually claiming is that 12th man is separate from ATM but that 12th man plus is part of 12th man. I'm not saying their claims are true.
  19. Slightly different. Aggy claims 12th Man Foundation is independent from the university. They admit 12th Man+ operates under the 12th Man Foundation.
  20. Lol “Texas A&M notified the NCAA that an NIL-related announcement was upcoming,” NCAA spokeswoman Meghan Durham says. “However, the NCAA did not review or approve any concept prior to the announcement.”
  21. They claim they can do this bc they aren't housed under the athletic department and just have an "affiliation agreement" with the university. Seems like a bs distinction but it's all semantics anyway. They also claim they cleared it with the NCAA ahead of time. If they do get away with it, seems like a big advantage for them since people are used to giving money to them and it counts towards seat points.
  22. I'd be really surprised by Harsin considering his history here and how he exited Auburn. Agree on Fuente and that GP connection makes it at least somewhat more believable. That's an interesting one. Kind of sounds like he's done coaching but maybe joining with his son in a more laidback gig would change that.
  23. Brainstorming just for fun, some other offense big names without a job: Scott Frost, Bryan Harsin (lol), David Shaw (somehow might be landing Broncos job), Cutcliffe, Kliff (no chance), Karl Dorrell if he counts. I would've had Clay Helton at the top of the list (Sark's former OC and from Houston) but apparently he's the HC at Georgia St. edit: Justin Fuente is another one. Was at TCU for a while with GP
  24. Scott Frost incoming! Kind of wild that Hooks has gotten himself into a position to be recommending WR coaches to UT. I did wonder if he'd be considered but he content with his current situation. Probably a lot less stressful..
  25. Jeez, that's a heck of a resume for Henry. Very different from "1 year as Jags WR coach" Anyone know what the Jackson connection with Hooks is? Just curious.
