  1. When he went up against actual talent the last two years, he was dogshit and he was picked on. The SEC had shit at WR1 this year, much less WR2. He will get a big paycheck for that and you’ll feel silly watching him flop. Thanks. I was indeed thinking it was Eli Ricks.
  2. Terrion Arnold was a dogshit player. I cannot for the life of me understand how he is viewed as a high draft pick other than the fact that he played for Saban and started. Ricks now being able to start in front of him, when he was bought to do so, is not a good thing on Ricks’ end.
  3. Ricks was a problem for Saban after they tampered and bought him from LSU. With UT’s db situation, I’m a pass, but who gives a shit? I guess if the staff is on him, I’m supposed to trust Joseph and Gideon? I’m not sure I’m in that spot.
  4. This is huge info for anyone trapped in a coma for the last 20 years.
  5. It’s not wish casting. I’m guessing we’re inside of a month from it, but I’m wrong a lot.
  6. There’s also the case that Nielsen can’t go anywhere until the Falcons hire someone new and he’s released from his contract.
  7. Let’s all do ourselves a favor and not lionize Arch Manning from here forward when it comes to NIL.
  8. You were laughed at because there was zero substance to the guy going anywhere. And the portal closed and he went nowhere. It was click bait that started that line of discussion. So don’t do the revising history shit where if he goes in now, with Fisch being gone, and tell us you called it. You didn’t. And he still isn’t in. But yeah, if you’ve got seven figures lying around and want to just go moneywhip a bunch of players, you should look at an NIL strategy for it.
  9. What imbeciles were saying this?
  10. Who TF prints a boarding pass out these days when flying? I do, all the time. It’s objectively less of a headache and when I’m slowed boarding a plane, it is inevitably some dickhead in front of me who is having app problems or forgot to have the phone unlocked or whatever, just stealing seconds off of everyone’s life around them. Check bags in, print boarding passes while doing it, tuck in back pocket, show to Clear or TSA, show to board plane, throw in trash, done. Substance over style and it wins.
  11. I’m happy that Akina is back in an analyst capacity. He apparently was really good in that role this season. On the field? Get a fucking grip. Honestly, give me as many intelligent and analytic old guys who love the sport in analyst roles as possible. Mix those with guys like Chryst, who still have a lot to contribute on the field if they can rehabilitate themselves, and you have a legitimate force added to the brain trust.
  12. There’s not a lot to yearn for from Michigan outside of Graham, Johnson and maybe one other remaining starter on their defense. Those first two guys, should they portal, will go for prices above rubies, for sure. I think Michigan loses damned near the entire offense. They don’t recruit at an extremely high level and the backups may or may not be something above UT’s current level of replacement value in terms of backups on the depth chart. I agree that now there is actually merit in talking about McMillon and the portal, but, geez, pigs get fed and hogs get slaughtered. That would legitimately shake everything up on the WR end. Niblack is another where, Texas might kind of need a discount to get him. NIL fatigue at this point could be a big deal.
  13. I am fine being counted on the other side of a position versus you. I can watch or listen to any of those performers and not have to suffer through the boring, unfunny shit cluttering that movie.
  14. In the words of the Virgin Mary: “come again?” Get the fuck out of here with that silliness.
  15. But mostly awesome stuff. We’ve been through this before. You oldsters severely overrate comedies from the late 70’s into the very early 80’s. The Blue Brothers is pure garbage. Unwatchable poo.
  16. Are you under the impression that Burton didn’t have direct resources in the program? Are you for real? I saw it once about 5 years ago and thought it was one of the dumbest, most overrated movies I’d ever seen. Just awful.
  17. With this staff, system and QB room, I just think you can waste a lot of energy worrying about WR. Guys want to be here or want to leave, great, because there are plenty of other badasses in line behind them. Or in the portal, waiting to be beckoned.
  18. I’d like to think you’re not this clueless, but you probably are.
  19. That may be the rub. The payday is allegedly really, really 5 starry.
  20. All of the sudden, this guy is just plowing into it. Posting Ketchum tweets with a serious face. It’s awesome. Somehow, there are enough buffoons on this site to have given this guy over 800 rep. Strong work.
  21. The shot with Williams is as the compromise school. The dad wants Auburn and the player doesn’t seem really interested in Auburn. Dude will not be cheap though.
  22. I’m with RichUT on this one. They’re fine, but come on.
  23. Terrific. That dude got there, looked around at the room on fire, and bought the next flight out to Atlanta.
  24. I started in the mid-90’s and had TEX all four years. I assume a lot of you guys weren’t in the business school or didn’t enjoy taking history courses, because I never had a problem with TEX. I lost my first ID my freshman year, late. The new photo showed hair tucked behind my ears and multiple ear rings with a chiseled, angry mug. I’ve never looked like that again in my life. I lost that ID in one of my moves years ago, which is a shame, really. It would be helpful to show my sons that I was once a wild man and to show my youngest daughter one of the types of scamps she needs to proactively avoid.
