  1. lol wut. You think Braeden Locke is beating Oregon?
  2. It's wild someone can have this opinion after we all saw the 2021 game with our own eyes. It's one thing to have this opinion 3 years ago before it proved to be dead wrong. Maintaining this take now is truly impressive. Bravo, sir. You belong here.
  3. I'm sure plenty of teams would take a chance on a former highly rated guy for minimal NIL commitment. If Cook still believes he's a star despite all the film he's put out to the contrary then he's going to have a hard time finding a team.
  4. Teams get to start using wind tunnel time on 2026 regs in 2025. RB doesn’t want a second driver that moves them up in the WCC standings this year or next.
  5. Not sure how true it is, but the Cover 3 podcast was saying the reason LSU didn’t do much in the transfer portal this year is because they’re going heavy on the 2025 HS class to put talent around Bryce Underwood.
  6. We were probably going to hit the portal for 1 or 2 high level WRs already. I don’t think Cook leaving had any affect on that.
  7. Huge bummer. He would've absolutely thrived as the WR5 on our roster next year.
  8. That was my read of it as well, but it's also a pretty dumb take considering our OL is struggling with picking up blitzes and also not very effective in the run game. We will absolutely need a good performance from our QB to win at A&M.
  9. It'll be interesting to see if Elko overemphasizes DL to the full extent Jimbo did while at A&M. Elko has always preferred to play 4 DL that are all over 270 so he can stop the run with 4 and get the offense into 3rd and 6+ where he can bring his disguised blitzes. He might be the best coach in the country at timing disguised blitzes and getting pressure with 4 or 5 on passing downs, but if you're going to trot out 4 DL at 270+, you are usually going to need to the edges to be 5 stars if you want them to be that size and have a pass rush. He was fortunate Shemar Stewart came back for another year and a first round DE in Scourton being from College Station was available this year. Next year will be a lot tougher for him. There's no one on the current roster who can do what they do. I expect A&M to spend huge on at least one DE in the portal and HS recruiting. Obviously, going full Jimbo would hurt him elsewhere. They don't seem to be able to land WRs to save their life so maybe Elko/Klein give up and put all the WR money into the DL bucket.
  10. The writing's been on the wall for a while. He's been underwhelming when he gets playing time and has fallen out of the rotation. We have 3-4 guys who will be returning ahead of him plus two 5 stars coming in and I'm sure Sark will take at least 1 transfer WR this offseason, so he'll be going into year 3 with no real prospect of playing. The only unexpected part is that it happened mid-season. He was top of the list for attrition candidates this offseason.
  11. Nothing gets past you.
  12. This team plays like they’re being coached by a middle of the road G5 coach.
  13. I’m starting to think Carlos doesn’t actually want Ferrari to win the WCC. -Crazhed with Perez in Baku -crashed in Singapore quali with a top 2 car (which also messed up Leclerc’s quali) -crashed out in Brazil quali and the race. Ferrari would be ahead in the WCC right now if he could just stop crashing.
  14. Stroll is just non-stop entertainment. Just an absolute embarrassment.
  15. I think people were being too negative about the OL after UGA when a lot more of the issue was on Quinn’s horrible pocket presence and Wisner not being a very good inside runner. The Vandy game wasn’t great, though. Flood’s been here four years now. He should’ve coached up the guys he had or gotten better ones. There’s no excuses left for him in Year 4. The OL has to play better. If only you had people in your life telling you how stupid you were being posting in every thread imaginable that Majors was our worst OL and had to be replaced when it was obvious both Guard spots were way bigger issues. He has very limited game film and now a big chunk of it is pretty bad. I’d be very surprised if he declares considering the opportunity he has to come back, get NIL money, and improve his draft stock after another year. The gap between first and second round contracts is very big. Unless he plays at an elite level the rest of the year, declaring would be a bad idea.
  16. This is a wild take, especially after the last two races.
  17. Incredible race by Carlos. Ferrari said they would bring a flexi front wing for COTA and now they’ve made a massive jump in performance the last two weeks. Not sure what’s been going on with Oscar, but the Constructor’s title race is legitimately on, especially with how Max is racing Lando. Also really glad to see the stewards come down hard on Max’s bullshit. That second move where he ran Lando off the road was legitimately dangerous. Keep doing this and we may actually get some real racing in the future.
  18. RBR don’t want to win the constructors. They want wind tunnel time.
  19. This is good stuff. The telemetry is very damning. It's ridiculous the stewards didn't look at this and issue him a penalty.
  20. It should be. I don’t see how what Max did was any different than what George did to Bottas and got penalized for. I don’t agree with this because they should’ve penalized Max anyways for that conduct. For whatever reason the stewards decided Max didn’t have to give space. I think technically they would say it’s because Max was ahead at the apex, but again that’s bullshit because he was only ahead at the apex because he let off the brakes and could never make the corner. That should be a penalty every time if the inside driver can’t make the corner and shoves the other driver off track.
  21. I saw Makuba go down at one point, but I thought he came back in. Do we know what his injury is?
  22. The thing that pisses me off is two penalties correct both actions and let drivers know what Max did will be penalized in the future so you don’t have to pass off track while he’s doing his Max bullshit. Instead they only penalize Lando so Max will keep running people off track and create bad racing and other drivers will feel the need to pass off track so Max can’t keep shoving them off at every turn and sty behind him. They just compounded the problem instead of correcting both actions. The racing standards in F1 are shit and a big part of it is because they’ve been allowing (and legalizing) Max’s antics for years.
  23. USC, Kansas and Arkansas leading the country in plays that decrease win probability by 10+% certainly checks out.
  24. After thinking about it, they should have awarded Max a 5 second penalty for forcing another driver off track and a 10 second penalty to Lando for overtaking off track. that way they send a message that you can’t let off the brakes to get to the apex first with not chance to actually make the corner. They gave George and someone else a similar penalty for forcing another driver off track, and what Max did should be a penalty. The only reason Max had the apex is because he let off the brakes, meaning he had no chance of making the corner. If you do that and force a driver off track, it should be a penalty every time.
  25. Right. Not sure how I forgot that. Sort of agree, but it’s not easy to tell when that injury is 100% recovered.
