I somehow missed any discussion of Blue being some sort of team cancer, guilty as charged.
No one said that either, dum dum.

Browsing the board and occasionally posting isn't the same as paying attention. Guess I missed all the Blue controversy. I knew about him entering the portal, but also know he came back out pretty quickly. If the coaching staff didn't want him around he would be somewhere else doing his thing.
The guy didn't enter the fucking portal. No one is arguing that the coaching staff wants the guy around. Get a fucking clue here, man.

So everyone who doesn't see a path to starting and enters the portal has attitude issues? Apparently Blue's wasn't too bad since he was either talked into coming back and/or allowed to come back if he decided on his own.

These days I'm not sure a 5* skipping their senior year would cause such speculation..but probably would anyway.You are wrong in every part of this post. It's kind of stunning.

I really liked it, but to this day have only seen it once. The dad/daughter stuff was just too much.
Replace what you're saying with Inception and that is me. I've seen Interstellar probably 20 times and love it. I watched Inception at the movies and enjoyed it, but I have never seen it since.
Also to those in this discussion, everyone agrees that Tenet is absolute dogshit, correct? We all watched it at a rented theater during corona while sitting multiple seats apart during the film, so no one could really talk. I walked outside after the movie, waited for the other 15 guys we were with to stand around and said "I just have one question ... does anybody know what in the fuck we just watched?" and then most of us busted out laughing. Great cinematography and score and probably even acting, but just absolutely convoluted nonsense.
Also also, the only guy who actually attempted to explain to the rest of us what was going on in Tenet? @SydneyCarton, who was then lampooned for his pedantry all the way to his car.

I enjoyed my trip to Boston. Thanks to those who provided thoughts on this thread. Thoughts below for anyone else visiting down the line:
The Freedom Trail was excellent, as hoped. Had Bell in Hand Ale at the The Bell-in-Hand along the way. Would do again.
Went to the Fenway area on Saturday and they were having their 2024 Red Sox Open House. We got to go on the field and walk the entire fence line, go into dugouts, the press box, you name it. That shit was cool. Had drinks at various pubs along Landsdowne afterwards for awhile.
Visited MIT since we have a kid who really wants to go there and might have a shot. Not a good campus to visit.
Walked shopped Newbury with my wife and she thought the shop options were strong.
In terms of restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I'd rate them this way:
1) Yvonne's - cool menu, really cool vibe inside, great service. We had the "Lazy Lobster Dumplings" as one of the dishes and could have had 5 helpings of that.
2) Parker House - did this for lunch and did the chowder, the scrod, the Boston Creme Pie and Parker House rolls. Just thought the whole thing was cool inside that hotel. We sat at the table next to the one JFK proposed to Jackie at and didn't know it until the end. Fun shit like that. They serve high quality food and it was not ridiculously priced.
3) Sorellina - Solid Italian. We had a lamb Lumache that was excellent but almost too al dente. Everything outside of that was excellent. Their rendition of veal saltimbocca was good but weird. It was basically served as involtini and took away from the flavors, I think.
4) Four Seasons - We stayed here and had high tea one lunch and they do a great job with it if that is your thing. My wife is British and when we spot high tea, I find that we somehow wind up doing it.
5) Bricco - We liked it, but I didn't view it as anything that outpaced quality Italian places in Houston like the original, non-chain Carraba's, Di Marco or Coppa, depending upon dining style preference. The eggplant bake for an appetizer was outstanding. I'd recommend it, just not above the other two dinner places from our visit.
6) Tatte - Local chain of breakfast/brunch/pastry fare. I had a lamb shakshuka that is as good as anything like that I've ever had. This place smokes places like it in Houston such as Common Bond, IMO. It's a chain and it was breakfast, so whatever, but I'd like one around the corner from my office in Houston for breakfast once every week or two.

If we're having an attrition discussion, I look at this way:
3 OLs (we have a bunch of OLs, some aren't going to make the 2 deep, some will see that as reason to leave)
1-2 DTs (unless a terrible hail mary is completed by someone else, at least one big time DT is coming this way)
1-2 Edges (we've just got a bunch of them and not all of them will be making what amounts to even a 6 man rotation at the 2 spots)
1-2 WRs (there are always prima donnas in the WR room, someone will get the itch to walk)
2-3 DBs (again, too many bodies for everyone to make the 2 deep)
1 LB
1 ST
1 TB
1 TE
I would be surprised by larger numbers at any position. I would not be surprised by this kind of activity at any of these positions. I would be surprised if there was activity at every one of these positions. You'll get a mix here to get to 7-9 exits and an 84-85 man roster that is damned near fully optimized.
As to names, I haven't heard of any. They like guys like Swanson and Burrell and Cajoe. There just aren't many guys that they wouldn't like to keep. I expect some pain.

No wonder my friends don't ask me for tips....
Speaking of tips, on one of my first shifts waiting tables, I was in the smoking section of the Black-Eyed Pea. As I delivered the check to this table where the dude has been smoking the entire time through their meal. That grizzled idiot looks at the check and then looks at me and says: "You want a tip? Don't smoke in bed! Hahahahaha!"
One of the old broads working the section next to me apologized and I asked her "why?" and she explained that that was actually going to be that guy's tip. She was right. But, hey, I've never smoked in bed, so I guess the dude really influenced me.
Anyway, this thread is the Internet version of that experience.

You guys get spun up about the wrong things. Nothing has changed for Bolden since he committed. Could he have a change of heart? Sure. That said, they have a place on this team for him that involves plenty of touches.
Whether or not they took a couple of jaggy true freshmen has no real bearing on the WR room. If they leave, okay. If Niblett leaves, okay. They’ve got like 6-7 guys who will plenty of snaps this year and then 2-3 of them will go to the NFL. Rinse and repeat.

It’s not just that codaxx is codaxxing this thread as expected, you’ve also got Red Five just pulling at the string constantly. Both of these men need a swift kick to the gonads.

Would be difficult to top the 2000 class of Williams, Johnson, and Thomas if we’re strictly talking from a high school rankings perspective.

That's three of the top-six WRs.
Moore, Ffrench, Lockett are three of the top FOUR WRs ---- and this doesn't include Kelshaun.
https://247sports.com/Season/2025-Football/CompositeRecruitRankings/?InstitutionGroup=highschool&Position=WR
Tony Jeffery/Jefferies/? was also in that class couched by Rivals as an ATH but recruited the whole by Texas as a WR, if memory serves. It was a beast of a class on the WR end.

lol just liked that little quip
Had a nice ring to it. Haha
I want to start the 2025 transfer thread and might use that to do it. Probably about time and it needs happen before one of these humorless bastards gets their mitts on it.

After looking at his HUDL highlights and knowing what we have on campus, it seems like that spot that we've offered to Jordan Davison could be better spent on another position.We are going to see some TB attrition. There’s a reason they’re taking 2 every time they can.

I feel like weve been as clear as we can since December on a lot of this. There’s been a reserve in case the right few guys entered the portal. 2 DTs. They may not wind up with any, but I think at least one is a better bet. They also know of a punter.
2-3 guys from the portal, plus Auburn, gets you to 92-93 guys with an 85 man limit and hardly any dead weight. Now some of you dorks can start worrying about the numbers.

“A lying piece of shit”. Wow lol. Sorry I got confused about which coach who hasn’t accomplished shit you were advocating for.
Ive literally called for DP to be fired many times on this board. But I am not replacing him with a bunch of dudes who haven’t done anything.
Why are you such a thin skinned pussy? Maybe don’t talk shit to everyone else if you’re gonna act like a baby when someone says something back.
That’s a lot of words to just say “I’m an ardent David Pierce supporter. I would never replace him unless someone promised me a sure thing so I can sleep at night without my safety blanket. “

Keep carrying water for Pierce. Let’s see how it works out. So far, so good.

I’m looking forward to despising and mocking new teams and old teams. The problem with the fanbases in the SEC is that most of them too dumb to understand when you’re doing it. They covet fart jokes. I’ve traveled to these places. Anything above that gets lost.
It’s fresh meat nonetheless. The onslaught of stupid on SECRant from the jump when you visit is unbelievable.
