  1. I would be shocked if this doesn’t happen. It would be very dumb for a network to pony up for the US rights without getting full exclusivity.
  2. Bravo, sir. This may be even dumber than your first post.
  3. Oh DetroitHorn, you say a lot of stupid stuff and this is certainly up there. Dillon Mitchell is currently averaging 10 and 6 at Cincinnati. Unless he’s bringing a better HC with him, adding him to this team would have a snowball’s chance in hell of making this a top 20 team.
  4. That used to be the case, but they fixed that last year and were probably the easiest on their tires of any team.
  5. Just a reminder that Nahlin almost never has real sources within the AD and is just making shit up 99.9% of the time.
  6. Pretty much. Leclerc’s Sam Ehlinger in this scenario. Grew up loving the team and is hopelessly committed to them no matter how dysfunctional they are.
  7. Welcome to the club. Great pain and misery awaits you.
  8. Aren’t you a ginger? Seems like he might’ve been singling someone out…
  9. I have to applaud Terry for wanting to leave no doubt that he should be canned this year.
  10. The stats for this game are wild. St. John’s shot 19% from 3, 55% from the FT line and lost the turnover battle, yet they still won because they doubled Marquette in rebounding and had 18 offensive boards compared to Marquette’s 2. That reminds me of a certain game against a team from Abilene where the opponent shot 17% from 3 but beat Shaka’s team on the offensive boards 18-5.
  11. I really like us going hard at Georgia. That state is absolutely loaded with talent, especially on the DL. UGA program is starting to show some cracks, and we need to at least make them work for every elite guy in-state and will likely poach 1-2 each year.
  12. He has Banks at 10, Golden at 21 and Barron at 24. Cowboys taking Walter Nolan, Texans taking Egbuka. He also has Will Campbell going #4, which is absolutely insane to me. He’s nowhere near as good of a prospect as the OTs who’ve gone top 5 in recent drafts.
  13. Except for the CFP semifinal game Allar played, of course.
  14. I guess I should've known better than to think LTtxfan would post a timely or helpful article. Still, November 4 was pretty late into the season to be mentioning Bond as a top 5 WR.
  15. This is great quote from Toto. Toto on seeing Lewis in red colours: "Yeah, it's a little bit like you divorce amicably, and it's all good, and then you see your partner for the first time with a new friend.
  16. This is a horrible write up. It includes Nussmeier at QB who’s not even declaring and mentions Isaiah Bond as a possible top 5 WR. This has to be a recycled article from this summer.
  17. Seeing as Ichiro can't even get unanimously voted into the HOF, I'd say 99 to 1.
  18. Couldn't agree more. He's the best #2 driver we could've hoped for!
  19. Idk what to tell you other than you're out of your fucking mind if you think that team with Shaka at the helm was going to go to the Elite 8 or better. We were always going to lose a game we shouldn't to a lower seed, whether that was ACU or someone else.
  20. While I agree with this to an extent, there is no way you can rely 95% on on-field play and essentially ignore measurables. There are some very key measurements that correlate extremely strongly with success at the next level. For instance, if you're drafting an edge rusher 3 cone times are extremely important. There was a study done a couple years back and it was about 85% of the top 15 or 20 edge rushers in the league had a 3 cone time under 7.10. So there is definitely a good reason for having certain measurable cutoffs at key positions, especially for first or second round picks. There's also just certain guys who have the baseline athleticism to let their other skills dominate in college, but they then fall below that baseline athleticism requirement in the NFL, so you can't just go off film. Not to mention you'd miss out on a ton of high-ceiling prospects if you only go off of film. Agree with this. His size/wingspan may keep him from being a dominant LT in the NFL, but he still has a ceiling of being a top 5-10 LT in the NFL, which is extremely valuable. And his floor is very high because he can move inside to G if OT isn't working and still become a Pro Bowl G, a la Cosmi. I really can't see him falling outside the top 15 in this draft, unless he's bottom 5 or 10 percentile for some of the size/reach measurements.
  21. Sorry to break it to you guys, but we didn’t lose Ringo because of UGA bag dropping. Kelee ran into Carl while he was in Austin over spring break, and he learned there’s not a single thot in all of Austin.
  22. 247 Composite had them at 9th. Classes 7-10 were within 2 points of each other, which is a minuscule difference. So they pretty much finished just inside the top 10 on most sites, which is where they end up most years, and this was Elko’s new coach bump class.
  23. Him slipping now doesn't mean he'll keep falling. Pretty much every year draft analysts go through the same process with prospects. During the season they focus on the player's film and on-field play, then as we get to Senior Bowl and combine season prospects start to get underrated or overrated depending on measurables, and finally a couple weeks after the combine the analysts go back to rewatching the film and guys with good film move back up. This happens pretty much every cycle and it was always going to happen to Banks since he's smaller than your normal 1st round OT. As long as Banks' height or wingspan are below average but not drastically low I don't think his stock will change a ton from where it was towards the end of the season. The other thing that will help him is there aren't many other highly-rated OTs. Will Campbell is the only other OT thought to be a worth a top 10-15 pick. Personally, I don't think Campbell's play was all that great and he seems overrated to me. Either way, there's a good chance Banks goes top 10 or top 15 off teams reaching for need alone.
  24. Eh. I think Shaka was a unique situation that can’t be applied to every new hire. He was immature and insecure. He thought he had to completely change his coaching style and the type of player he recruited to fit UT (despite no one telling him he had to do this). I still think he has some fundamental flaws that get much more exposed in a conference that’s competitive night in and night out so he’ll never be an elite coach, but I expect he’ll do a better job the next time he gets a shot at a major program by sticking to what works for him.
