Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Oh come on. Bad feet for a 370 pound galoot is a systemic problem that isn't going to work itself out. This dude is going to be exploited by every staff worth a fuck that Texas faces. Luckily there are no excellent defensive minds remaining on the schedule for Texas to face, so yeah, we're good to go and should just cross our fingers and give him time. I joke about the "Kyle Flood needs to be fired" arguments being made throughout this thread, but if we don't see material developments as the season progresses, how the OL is being handled needs to be examined in the offseason. On the one hand, the NFL production has been outstanding, particularly considering that Goosby will be following suit. On the other hand, the run blocking has sucked from day one and the talent acquisition hasn't been spotless.- 7408 replies

Improving from dogshit isn't saying much. On par with Missouri, LSU, OU and the other shitty academic schools in the SEC is saying even less. I get that it is personal for people who send their kids to these places. I paid for the entire experience of ATM for a child when it was a better academic institution than the diploma mill it has become and I still feel the need to defend its academics occasionally because of that. That said, objectively, the academic rep and the talent output for business-related degrees suck at Arkansas. I've hired Arkansas grads over the years and I am related to two more, one of whom is grant-winning and published MD, and I stand by that position. The rankings all agree. We are talking about Arkansas on this thread. Your post that the school is "top notch" is outright fucking dumb. Own it or shut the fuck up. Moving goalposts in the conversation isn't fooling anyone and has people speaking of your idiocy in hushed and concerned tones as they read this page of this thread.

You know @Wulaw Horn's a dreamer But his heart's of gold He had to run away high So he wouldn't come home low Just when things went right It doesn't mean they were always wrong Just take this song and you'll never feel Left all alone Take him to your heart Feel him in your bones Just one more night And he's coming off this Long and winding road He's on his way He's on his way Home sweet home Tonight, tonight He's on his way He's on his way Home sweet home You know that he's seen Too many romantic dreams Up in lights Falling off the silver screen His heart's like an open book For the whole world to read Sometimes nothing Keeps him together At the seams He's on his way He's on his way Home sweet home Tonight, tonight He's on his way Just set him free Home sweet home Home sweet home Home sweet home Home sweet home He's on his way He's on his way Home sweet home, yeah He's on his way Just set him free Home sweet home -

"Wulaw Horn - The Dreamer" -
Hey,man, what the fuck is this nonsense? The school is top notch? According to people who went there, perhaps, and that is about it. The Jones family cannot be involved with NIL due to the league's position that ownership participating in NIL for college athletes constitutes a conflict of interest. When we were courting Cal McNair, he asked the league's compliance end to provide an opinion, and this is what they came back with for him, which was fucking great.

Spiking the ball on the 20 with a Kiffin coached team. Strong work. -

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I know you’re intelligent enough to know that that wasn’t what was being discussed. You just wanted to whine about something in the future because it’s a passion of yours. Nothing Georgia does or does not do against Texas has anything to do with the DL looking and performing in an average manner and struggling to get pressure against Bama last night or for most of this season. To further mock the disingenuous position you were trolling with, in fact, a reason to believe the outcome could be different this year is that Georgia’s personnel has fundamentally changed, including behind the starters. So, not only was your post a bullshit red herring, it’s also readily debunked in and of itself.- 7408 replies

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
I feel like you haven’t watched much CFB this year. Or last year. This Bama team had their pants pulled down and were buttfucked in public against FSU. They were fucking bullied all game in the trenches. Now Bama is elite? Georgia has how many sacks this year from their DL? You’re looking at helmets and reacting. Georgia does not have a great defense this year and they’re struggling getting pressure. Bama always looks like this against Georgia. They looked like this against Georgia last year and jumped to #1 in the rankings. They also lost 4 games, badly. That’s on par for that team and that personnel this season.- 7408 replies

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again

I like the one where Arkansas loses 56-14 to a Notre Dame team without a defense and the one poster shows up and still wrings their hands about Arkansas being a major threat. That’s solid work from the idiot pile.- 7408 replies

Penn State’s best data point is a home loss to a lower ranked opponent that they had 9 months in which to prepare. They have the shittiest resume of anyone even close to the top 10. If they aren’t severely punished for being the bitchmade piece of shit molester program that they are, the whole system should be abolished.

Huh? He’s a slow, tall WR and an undersized TE allergic to contact. Yeah, he’s fine against mediocre ACC teams, but you’re spouting bullshit otherwise.

The OLB for Virginia jumped the deflected throw earlier in the game and might have taken it to the house if not for the deflection. Then his own stud play later. Might be one to watch.

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 - League Average & Loving It
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.
