  1. You are truly gifted when it comes to handwringing. Sweating the Arkansas game, at home, after Pittman has likely been shitcanned and had his bitch tits kicked to the curb, two months from the game being played, is next level. Get a grip.
  2. I wrote this on the Gator thread but I am posting here as well due to game relevance. I doubt this will be a distraction at all:
  3. The rumor is that Lagway is seriously considering a redshirt. Doering acknowledged that as a concern on SEC radio this morning and that dude is in UF’s offices daily. The walking boot is apparently part of whatever negotiation is being attempted, or a threat regarding his interest in sticking around.
  4. I wanted him as well. That said, having watched him last year and more this year, I’m of the opinion that he sucks. He looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane. He’s a more acclaimed Marvin Jones Jr. I thought “well, he’s playing out of position for mediocre coaching” last year. Turns out he sucks at DT as well. He’ll probably get drafted high and suck for one of the franchises that perpetually sucks at the draft.
  5. He was allegedly a Texas lock, but Arch Manning coming to Austin meant that he was heading somewhere else. He could have gone anywhere. He chose to see the places he did and sign where he signed.
  6. Lockett was never going to sign to play where Moore was heading. Texas would have taken Moore over Lockett. Johnson wanted to be the main man in his signing class and Lockett wouldn’t have enabled that for him. Wesco was never interested in Texas. His sister played soccer at OU and he was way more interested in OU. I asked about him yesterday and, as of yesterday, two people anyone here would trust do not think he’d look our way should he enter the portal. Clemson mods seem to have real concern about multiple potential transfers and recruiting class attrition. Quinn is one. Burroughs is another. Both young WRs on campus as well.
  7. He also nails how Texas simply doesn’t give a shit about the rest of the league. He’s usually pretty good. Who the fuck thinks Texas is rolling in this game besides a couple of noob posters? You think a gimpy Lagway is gonna be the real difference maker with his legs, huh?
  8. The Big 10 has never had an interest in OU. Ever. That shit is hilarious. You think the SEC holds its nose in its dealings with OU? Ha. The Big 10 appropriately views that institution and its base as regrettable trash. I also enjoyed the part where, in a thread expressing angst over being called out by the league for obvious in-game cheating, one of the posters attempted to accuse the rest of the league as being cheaters while OU remains virtuous. That truly is a fanbase of the basest metal.
  9. This is correct. Moore didn’t want Momma’s family hovering around his life moment by moment.
  10. Healthy? Uh, okay. They just lost a starting CB for the year. He underwent surgery this morning. They have multiple starting DLs and several backups who aren’t even practicing. The QB is in a boot. Several WRs are still out. The availability report will tell us what we need to know next week, but Napier isn’t known for taking it easy at practices during their off weeks.
  11. Sankey wholeheartedly admits that they have a strategy for dripping out schedule information to maintain heightened interest. I doubt they just roll it all out tomorrow. I’m betting no dates and I’m kind of dubious about them even telling whether the games are home or away.
  12. No shit? That has nothing to do with my response. I've taken the position, which I thought was a given until reading these last few responses, that they're not going to repeat match-ups for Texas and OU before pitting them against the rest of the conference first.
  13. The whole point of having locks is to enable the conference to move the other match-ups around with impunity. Every school in this conference wants a Texas home game. They've talked about that for 3 years on SEC radio and Sankey's said as much, adding "and Oklahoma" into that sentiment, but we all know that OU isn't moving the needle in the same way. The notion that Sankey is going to tell people at Auburn or SCar or LSU "no" in order to put Vanderbilt and Kentucky back on UT's schedule is purely overthought fan fiction.
  14. I have a hard time being flippant about Bama and I have a hard time taking Missouri seriously. Missouri is good again this year, on paper. Let’s see how things look after they face October.
  15. So we go: -Texas State -Ohio State -UTSA to open and then we know we 9 of the following 10 teams: -OU (lock) -ATM (lock) -Arkansas (lock) -Alabama -Auburn -Ole Miss -LSU -Missouri -South Carolina -Tennessee That is going to be a gnarly bitch of a schedule. Should be a lot of fun. The missed opponent is going to be a really big deal. I'm guessing all of the teams that Texas has rarely played will be on there, SCar, Tenn, Auburn, Ole Miss. Then you have the game in Baton Rouge that makes up for the 2020 miss. So you're left with an argument over ratings and money for UT/Bama versus the fact that it's been longer ago that Texas last played Missouri. I'm guessing no Missouri. Wow.
  16. Lott's been offered DK Moore money and he's not believed to be nearly as good. There's a lot of expense now and continuing in the Texas WR room, so Lott would have to really want to come to Texas. The dad hasn't given up hope, at least.
  17. The last line in the SEC press release is targeted directly at ATM or Arkansas, or both. Not saying only them, but certainly at least one of them. They can both eat shit, regardless.
  18. -SMU sucks. I've been able to watch them a few times and they're just not very good. They play defense as though they're allergic to 3 and outs. -BC is mediocre. I don't know, we really don't have enough data points on any of these teams yet. I've seen enough of Clemson to agree with the premise that 3-9 is possible and not making a bowl game is plausible, but from an alleged talent perspective, Clemson will have more talent than of the team left on the schedule. If Swinney can right the ship, they could easily also finish 8-4 or even 9-3. He's written something similar before and from what I can tell, it's some sort of inside baseball riff on Klubnik's dad being a known asshole in Westlake.
  19. I guess I have to give credit to Treaty Oak for the phenomenal troll job, here. You idiots taking his post seriously is quite something to behold.
  20. Guys, can you please all not be idiots? Holy shit. I read this thread when it updates. BO&W is an idiot and has no impact on my behavior.
  21. You are actively engaging in a nonsense conversation with an unserious, uninformed, bandwidth-draining clown. Reading what he wrote through your quotes reminded me of his existence and why he’s on ignore and usually forgotten. My goodness, what an idiotic premise.
  22. I will admit that the score in this game shocked me.
  23. Tech looked okay yesterday. Utah continues to get the benefit of the doubt to open every season and why they do is beyond me. That team looked like dogshit. I’m guessing they’ll do very Texas Tech stuff here shortly, like coming down and losing to a well-coached Houston team.
  24. I have a hard time getting worked up about a recovering true freshman WR against the Texas defense. I know the guy was a big time recruit, doesn’t matter.
  25. Sun Belt Billy's Gators are all kinds of injured. They lost a starting DB, Dijon Johnson, to what is likely a torn ACL in the first quarter last night. They lost another guy getting regular snaps at one of the DB spots, dude named Bates, to a busted shoulder later in the game. They had 3 starting DLs out for the Miami game with serious injuries and lost another one in the 3rd quarter who couldn't walk off the field under his own power. Finally, the transfer WR, Sturdivant, left the game and never returned in the 3rd as well. They had a litany of injuries going into the game, so maybe this week helps them recover? Unlikely if SBB is still in charge. He's known for running tough, physical practices throughout each season, particularly in off-weeks.
