Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
closetojumping replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
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. -
UCLA's return to dominance no longer featuring DeShaun Foster
closetojumping replied to satyanash's topic in Football
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. -
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.

OU Football 2025 - Cheated Its Way To a Backdoor CFP Appearance
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
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. -
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.

That would be awesome. -
That’s right, you crazy bastard. Fuck’em if they can’t take a joke.

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.
-
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. Can you show your work regarding Mateer being viewed as a top 30-50 guy?
-
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.

Mateer is not playing against Texas. This is silly.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
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.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
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 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. -
Why do you write this post as a question? Is it sort of a "I am Ron Burgundy?" thing?

They’re not going to fire him until Lagway’s redshirt is burned.

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.

You may not feel like an idiot, but we’re all pointing and laughing at you looking like one on this anyway.

OU Football 2025 - Cheated Its Way To a Backdoor CFP Appearance
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
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. -
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.
