I would be going after the Tulane HC, someone from the Oregon staff, but my whale would be D'anton Lynn.
Give us background on why you like Lynn so much, so we can judge you and not look shit up for ourselves. I don't think I've seen USC yet this year and last year's output was an obvious improvement, but still messy.
I am just not sure it matters who UCLA hires if the school and supporters aren't going to be aggressive in enabling the guy to compete for talent. I know the Big 10 is being heavy-handed with the pressuring of UCLA to do better, but UCLA seems to not really give a fuck.
If they were actually supported, the guy I would like to see in a place like UCLA, just as a CFB fan, is Will Stein. When UCLA has had great offenses, they've been a fun team to watch, especially if USC is flipping its shit because UCLA is making them look stupid. Rare, but memorable. The late 90's were funny in that regard.

I'd definitely agree here. I'm just talking about injuries in general, nobody really knows except Mateer and his surgeon. I highly doubt they're giving all the details to anyone in the media.
To be clear, my post was made while you were posting, so I wasn't trying to address or question a medical practitioner, either. You got my point outside of that, I just didn't want to come across as any more of a pompous imbecile than I normally do.
Allegedly what Thamel's been told is Mateer thinks one month, but that might be ignoring the notion of a few weeks of rehab. He's obviously a pretty tough guy, so I wouldn't bet against Ole Miss, but if the team fares well ahead of that and he's in pain and needing rehab, staying out through the off week in prep for what looks like 3 really tough games wouldn't be the dumbest move.

The okies have been saying since the spring that Hawkins looks much better with the learning experience of last year and the tutelage of Fatty Arbuckle. I don't see any reason to doubt that, as it makes basic sense. That said, the guy totally fucking sucked last year, so "much better" could mean mediocre or worse compared to other QBs. Who knows?
What I do know is that the OU OL is still dogshit. That's not going to be helpful for Hawkins. The fact that their RB room is loaded with some of the jaggiest jags who have ever jagged before, plus a few gimps and an apparent headcase, isn't going to be particularly helpful for them against the Texas D.

I just saw this. If the recovery time is a month, minimum, then how is there not risk in playing him before it's healed? Hell, get him out there at practice now and shoot him up with painkillers if that's the case.
Pete Thamel is talking to Mateer's camp. Ian Boyd is just making shit up based off of some other injury to someone else at some other time. This isn't the injury that Goff had or sources with knowledge would be saying the same shit the dum dums like Boyd are. It's now just become fact that the dude is fine in 2 weeks and then needs to deal with the pain. It's Internet stupidity at its finest.

Scott Van Pelt was saying he’s the potential #1 overall draft pick yesterday morning on his show. It’s not hard to imagine when you look at the season he was having, who would you take above him right now?
I don't start thinking about the draft at this point in the year, mostly. If you mean at QB? There are probably 30 guys I'd take ahead of him. He looks like a training camp/gadget guy. His body has taken a beating already. His arm isn't his best asset. He plays in an offense that doesn't translate well to the pro level. He's not incredibly fast. He's not tall. There's not a ton to like other than toughness. It isn't like OU was lighting it up in the passing game with this dude running things, unless Temple and Illinois State impress you.
SVP says all kinds of stupid shit and this is more of it. Mateer is 2025 Sam Ehlinger. People have lost their fucking minds.

I’m not defending anything. You said it yourself. No one seems to know much about the injury. All Oklahoma said was that he’d be out for awhile and return later in the season. Why are you so angry?
No, that's all Venables said. What's being said by OU insiders and talking heads is that there's little chance he's back by Texas, 16 days from now.
Also, angry? No. Derisive? Yes. Dismissive? Sure.
6 minutes ago, 6th Street said:Mateer was viewed as a top-50 NFL draft pick before injury. No way he jeopardizes that by returning too soon and re-injuring his hand. They probably make it a gametime decision just to keep the Texas coaching staff guessing but ultimately hold him out.
Can you show your work regarding Mateer being viewed as a top 30-50 guy?

Kurtis Rourke of Indiana played two weeks after thumb surgery last year. Have you heard something from inside the program?
They're literally saying he won't be back for a month. The only places in which it's being theorized that he's back by Texas are on the boards with okie mouthbreathers wearing tinfoil hats and the Texas jellyfish wearing tinfoil hats. Dari Nowkah was just on College Sports Today on XM 84 like 15 minutes ago saying that Mateer won't be back for Texas.
I shouldn't be explaining any of this. You are drawing a parallel to another injury when we know fuck-all about either one. Other idiots here are overtly stating that think this is all a set up. That Venables and crew would lie to the media, lie to the SEC, and publicly make up a surgery coordinated with a fucking doctor whose reputation is on the line. Do you not understand the abject stupidity of this and that you're chiming in to defend it? It's fucking ridiculous.

Ian Boyd posted that the surgery stabilizes the thumb, and that there really isn’t much risk of worsening the injury after a couple of weeks. It comes down to whether he can grip and throw the football. That may take more time. Or not.
Mateer also has a sprained knee. That could use some rest, too.
I think there is a good chance Mateer can play. I don’t know how much of a chance there is that he doesn’t play.
In2009, the Sooners rushed Bradford back from a first week knee sprain to play in the RRS. He worsened the injury, missed the rest of the season and still went 1-1 in the draft. OU needed to win that game to have a hope of making the BCS CG. This year, they can make the CFP with a loss to Texas, but would need Mateer in good shape for their stretch run.
But they really, really want to beat Texas.
Maybe it depends on who makes the decision- Nagy or Venables?Mateer is not playing against Texas. This is silly.

Joe Burrow
This is correct. He was written off nationally as a loser who couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. That was being said on forums and with the talking heads all the way through the 29-0 debacle at home with Alabama in Game 9.
Some guys take a little for the game to slow down, no matter how talented.

Anyone want to take a stab at whose Year 1 starting QB statline is below? This fucking scrub. Notice any parallels to Manning at all? Also, this guy was also throwing to WRs who apparently sucked as well. No cheating.

You could kind of see Arch work his way out of the funk in the early part of that game last week. His first couple of completions were still low or off target and his receivers had to go to the ground to catch or pick it up off their shoelaces. Once they made a couple of plays for him, he suddenly started dropping dimes all over the field. Hopefully he doesn't have to work into that every week, but there was a noticeable difference as the game went on.
When I was growing up, we had this tiny, angry, cajun elf who lived across the street from us named Gayle. He was always bickering about our football getting onto his grass and threatening to turn us into boudin or gumbo or some shit in his dimwitted accent. We created a play where I'd throw the ball at a WR's feet and called it the Elf Gayle as an actual planned throw and route to get around a bigger defender. Maybe Manning has just been running the Elf Gayle this whole time and no one else understood the route call?

I think we have a relatively small data set to work with. To me, it just seems like Wingo and Arch weren't on the same page for the first few games. When Wingo was in a good position to catch the ball, Arch threw it at his feet. When Arch threw a catchable ball, Wingo was out of position.
"Why aren't they on the same page?" is a fair question, but at this point I'm still willing to chock it up to happenstance. If it becomes something we see repeated as the season goes along, then maybe there's more to it.
I think you're completely missing the point of what Codaxx is trying to tell the board. What he's saying is that this is all settled science. Wingo and Manning cannot functionally coexist in the same offense and that Wingo needs to be benched and later cut. There are no small sample sizes here and there can be no consideration for bouts of human frailty or a new starter's learning curve. This is over, and it is time to move on.

not kind of
what i wrote you just confirmed plus you added the friday night events which i didn't include because they were not part of snakey telling sharpe the vote would be unanimous
that part is important to you because you reported it
do you happen to know what page of the aggy thread corresponds to wednesday morning 21 july 21? in the offseason we should go back to the realtime discussion to ensure you receive accurate attribution in an @aggypedia entry
talkiebird is sharpe
It’s posts like this that make me think, “maybe ignore makes the most sense here”.
I don’t give one fuck about attribution in some thing no one knows about besides 3-4 people here. “aggypedia”? Who fucking cares or knows about this? That’s randolph duke shit
“kind of” means you weren’t telling the whole fucking story.
Your personal nicknames for random shit makes your posts generally indecipherable.
This isn’t the aggie thread. Some of this is becoming bandwidth drain.

While I generally share the sentiment about OU, the fact remains that the ONLY chance we had was for Tech to lose. Period. I wanted Texas to win the MNC and I was astute enough to realize OU had to beat Tech for that to happen. I sure didn't want Tech to look like West Texas roadkill and for OU to win in a blowout, which is what happened. Even then, the final BCS result was microscopically thin. I rooted for the only outcome which could help Texas, a Tech loss. I didn't feel like an idiot then nor do I feel like one now.
You may not feel like an idiot, but we’re all pointing and laughing at you looking like one on this anyway.

What happened to Ott? They paid big money for 2 carries per game?
He was supposed to be a game changer lol
He’s in the doghouse for coach extraordinaire Demarco Murray. They think he’s a goldbricker. The emergence of Blaylock has empowered them to bury him on the depth chart. There’s an article on Sooners Illustrated arguing that Ott is key without Mateer, but I’m not sure if Murray actually reads SI or not.

yup
at 1145am on wednesday 21 july 21 bjork found out about the move and called talkiebird, who shit himself and ordered bjork to hold an impromptu presser before the lunch break was over; talkiebird called zwerneman who found bjork and they started a 1:1 presser about 115pm iirc
this is the video where bjork bumblefucks around about aggy wanting their own playpen and basically crying in public that it's not possible and it's their right to stop it and blah blah blah
from that moment until 1045am on saturday 24th, texags was quadding themselves and guzzling every jizz jar in sight
at 1030am on the 24th, snakey called talkiebird and told him the vote was going to be unanimous and to shut the fuck up, which is the only explanation for the 180-degree pivot that looch made at 1045am that morning when he initiated the ministry disaster recovery plan; by 1pm that afternoon the masses were inline and 'yes sir, may i have another'
i know that several of us were on the surl watching those events on the 24th and the immediate unanimous conclusion was snakey told talkiebird how it was going down and to eat a bag of dicks
Kind of. Although, I have to say, I still don’t know who in the fuck “talkie bird” is.
That Friday night, ATM announced an emergency board of regents meeting for the following Monday. The topic publicly stated for the meeting was something like “to discuss conference options for Texas ATM athletics”.
At the time, there was no exit fee in the SEC. So ATM was implying that they might actually consider leaving for greener pastures, which was laughable.
Sankey called them the following morning and told them “get right or get fucked”. Get to closing or hit the fucking bricks, dummies. ATM, bluff called, sent Liucci and his cronies out to spin from there.
I had two friends directly involved on the Texas end narrating this shit in real time. I relayed it to this board as it unfolded, with a breakdown of where this was headed that Friday night after those rubes played their perceived ace in the hole.

It wasn’t hard to know what was coming. We’d seen it plenty. Rooting for OU only made you end up feeling like an idiot, or should have. You sound like one of the guys trying to reason with us that day at BW3. Just wrong and confused and rationalizing anyway. Wrong wrong wrong.
Never cheer for OU, ever. If OU is playing the Taliban, I’m wearing a turban or whatever the fuck garb they’ve got going. If Hitler, Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao and Mussolini have been summoned by Satan on the opposing sidelines to lead the charge against the sooners, I’m face painted with a pentagram and swearing allegiance to the Prince of Darkness.
Never cheer for OU.

I can answer part of this. Until 1912, a touchdown was only worth 5 points.
Two safeties to get to 4 points is weird, but was more common back when teams only ran the ball and formations were tighter to the line of scrimmage.
That's interesting about the TD being worth 5. I didn't know that. I assumed the same as you regarding the reasons for more safeties.

JFC. I looked up the Liberty Bowl and Music City Bowl results, looked up Texas vs Memphis (we've never played them) and even MTSU (never played them either) and thought "what am I forgetting?". At no point did Vanderbilt even register in my head and I've walked their freaking campus.
Texas has, in fact, played 5 times, as far as I can now tell, in the state of Tennessee. Texas is 1-4 in those games, with the 4 losses coming in 1899, 1905, 1906, and 1925. The win, as mentioned, came last year in 2024.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
in 🤫$9.95🤫
Posted
Texas agreed to make him the only back in the class, to give him a chance to land wherever he deserves on the depth chart, and is matching any NIL offer, allegedly. I don't get why they all still act like this recruitment is anything but that. Texas sticks with its promises and everyone dealing with recruits knows this.
You show up with some interesting stuff sometimes, and other times I am McNulty kicking his desk while reading your takes.
