  1. You're right. I saw some YT short that said it was this year. I should know better than to trust some of shitty sources/AI crap. Still not sure my point changes much. Lindblad does not look ready for F1, and moving Hadjar seems like he'll join the long list of quality, promising drivers RB ruins/sets back about 5 years.
  2. Red Bull was so impressed with Lindblad ending three other drivers races in the Monza F2 race and sitting 7th in the F2 championship that they just had to rush him up to F1 right now. And also disrupting an amazing season for Hadjar in the process and forcing him to acclimate to an extremely difficult car mid-season. Helmut Marko must have a fetish for ruining promising racing careers. It's the only explanation.
  3. Pirelli completely fucked over this race by going a compound too hard. Rinse. Repeat.
  4. They gave up 17 points and almost 300 yards to New Mexico last week. Their defense is ass my dude.
  5. Sherone Moore and Wink Martindale is a god awful coaching combo. This Michigan team is so poorly coached.
  6. Yeah, we had something like 14 guys drafted and have 16 new starters on this team, including QB. The #1 preseason ranking really screwed up people’s expectations for this team, especially early in the year. Having said that, it is pretty disappointing Arch isn’t further along in his development in year 3 and the coaching lols disappointing with the same issues that have cropped up in past years. The question about the coaching will be answered with how much this team develops over the course of the season. I did expect us to be further along at this point, though. We opened the season at tOSU with like 16 new starters and had the ball with a chance to tie with 1 minute left. We’re not in a very different place than them right now. And it’s entirely possible we’re better than them by them by the end of the year.
  7. Lmao wut. Sargeant was never anything special and he’s not faster than Herta. Herta has some of the best raw speed in IndyCar. Andretti has fucked him over so many times and lost him a bunch of races and podiums. Herta’s also way better at road courses and street tracks, which obviously helps him in F1. I’m not saying he’s a star, but I think he’s the most promising American prospect and after Palou, him and O’Ward are on a similar tier as the most potential of any of the IndyCar guys.
  8. This line seems wild to me. Duke was tied 10-10 with Elon at halftime, and they really didn't pull away until the 4th quarter. If Illinois is anywhere near the #11 team in the country, they should cover easily.
  9. The $1.3 million wasn't fully guaranteed. Now that he's been cut, he'll make about $20k per week while on the practice squad with no other guarantees or bonuses. It's a bit of an unusual decision, but it's obvious from watching him in the preseason that he's nowhere near ready to actually play in the NFL. He probably believes he'll receive the best coaching with Denver and is betting on himself to develop more in Denver than the 2 teams that offered him 53-man spots. He also wouldn't have gotten much job security from those 53-man offers. His offer was likely a vet minimum with no guarantees beyond this year.
  10. Any time a coach has to brag about team GPA and attending class 4 years into his tenure, you just know he's absolutely crushing it.
  11. They didn’t have much returning at OT, so they overpaid for the Rice guy out of desperation. The fact he’s a JAG and worse than they thought isnt a positive for them now.
  12. Interesting note on OU’s prospects based on Vegas over/under. A lot of sites had them set at 6.5 earlier in the summer. That got bet a good bit and now a lot of sites have moved the line to 7.5 but it’s juiced pretty heavily to the under, around -140 or -150. In other words, the betting public pretty clearly has them tabbed to go 7-5. One hilarious aspect to this is there’s a decent chance OU starts 5-0, meaning they could easily end the season 2-5 and finishing towards the bottom of the SEC. I would love nothing more than to have OU be 5-0 and ranked in the top 10 before they face us in the Cotton Bowl.
  13. The fact that Looch is pointing to Scoob and York as two of the four difference makers on A&M’s defense should make the Aggie faithful feel quite grim. They won’t, but they should.
