  1. BO&W woke up today and he chose stupid. Just a fucking frozen rope of stupid being slapped all over the board. Will Johnson played against Texas. How and what he did otherwise is totally irrelevant. Michigan did not field a “bad defense “ against Texas last year, either, you fucking dummy. Texas whipped Michigan’s ass because Sarkisian had a great gameplan and he had the offense do what they wanted against an uber talented defense because, you know, he’s been regarded as an offensive scheming wizard due to performances like that. Your stupid is so loud, my watch is giving me decibel warnings.
  2. When is the last time you've presented some sort of idiotic position or premise and I've given it a serious response? I honestly can't remember.
  3. You are the Helobious of OL evaluations and opinions. The more certitude you use in discussing the OL issues and talent, the more confident I get that things will be sorted more sooner than later.
  4. Why are all of y'all leaving the running game results for the most recent OSU game out of this as well? Texas didn't lose to OSU because of an inability to run the ball. Correct. He instigated multiple fights and allegedly has temper issues. Why would you want an angry guy hitting your opponent in the mouth on the OL? Give me the guy who will belly rub or fall on his face.
  5. Neto isn’t playing much because he’s a fucking idiot and they’re worried about him missing an assignment in pass pro or committing a stupid penalty. People involved with the spring and summer thought he was the best player at LG - if he could be trusted. Robertson is supposedly the best C on campus but then they’re benching the unit leader or pushing him to LG where he’s been meh when playing. The bigger complaint about Flood should be centered around what he’s actually valuing that pushes actual performance to the background.
  6. I don’t expect an upset. 73-0 would surprise me, though. I assume Bama winds up covering.
  7. Questionable this week for Bama's home game against Wisconsin in which Bama is currently favored by 21.5 points: -WR Ryan Williams (concussion) -RB Jam Miller (shoulder) - Deboer said he will probably play this weekend. -DT Tim Keenan (Ankle/Tightrope Surgery) - unlikely -OLB Jah-Marien Latham (lowerl leg injury) - unlikely
  8. And Tope Imade to you as well, good sir. WTF?
  9. Comparing OL plug and play from the portal to DTs plugging and playing are two different things. Going and getting a good fit at an OL position to mesh with the rest of the group is one thing, going wholesale into the portal is another. Not only would adding 3-5 guys mean a complete retooling of the starting lineup, but also telling 5-7 guys to hit the fucking road, decimating continuity and development of those on campus. Everyone on this thread is completely overreacting to the OL play for the first two games. The PFF score might not have been great for some of them against Ohio State, but the unit played well enough to win in that game. They played overall poorly against SJSU, but that's also what this 3 game stint is for - playing up a learning curve. We've seen OL play come together year after year with Flood. Christian Jones and the one giant dude who played for just one year as a 5th or 6th year guy and brags on Flood regularly whose name I forget both showed more in a year under Flood than they had in multiple seasons under prior coaching. I'm fine with expecting another OT in this class and wish it would be a five person instead of a four person class, so maybe they seek one more guy or two in the portal this cycle, we'll see. Turntine is ready to play from a technique perspective on day one. Is he going to be physically ready? Again, we'll see. I'm also fine with a bunch of mix and match experimenting at C and LG. I just don't think we're doomed at either spot, nor should not adding a transfer last cycle be viewed as an epic fail. Wingo looks plenty fast on the field. He's gripping and trying to make plays before the ball is secured. If he settles down, he's going to have a big year. The plays are there. That all said, you sound like a fucking idiot with your whines about the guy's speed.
  10. I posted those from an article on one of their sites within the last page, so you can see for yourself. They had 2 decent performances and 3 that were dogshit bad, on Stroh levels.
  11. Update: -After 2 games, it is high time to write off new starters across the OL, including the 5 star redshirt freshman RT. His PFF scores have him below acceptability, and his ass needs to be cut, right now. -Based on less than 20 snaps of play, it is clear that Nate Kibble needs to be starting at LG. Meanwhile, Connor Stroh and Neto Umeozulu need to be washing towels and uniforms in the locker room to earn the remainder of their scholarship pay. -No, we mean it, it is high time to fire Kyle Flood. The guy is not developing talent. It's fucking obvious. Do not ask about the 4 guys that just joined NFL rosters. -We're clearly going to need to land 5! OLs in the transfer portal. What we mean by that is the roster just needs to be fucking flushed, folks. -It is time to consider that Torre Becton may also be a problem. There's got to be a reason players are not developing on this roster. -Steve Sarkisian has lost the plot and we're being publicly lampooned for his restroom grimace commentary.
  12. I had that game on, but was focused more on the other 4 I was watching. What was controversial in that game?
  13. I know that. For some reason, I thought they opened against Bryant. Can't say it changes my POV much, but good catch.
  14. I don't usually go back and watch games again, so this might be off, but I think the first offensive play for Texas featured some absolutely hilarious failure from that tree trunk. He basically just fell forward and touched no one as the played unfolded around him.
  15. What is it that I am taking seriously?
  16. I don’t know about him, but I find it good sport. All of the shit you idiots dismissed is now a factor for your conference. 1) Worrying over the monies and begging for fucking congress to do something so you guys can get access to the same pool of money as the SEC and Big 10. 2) Pressure to schedule better from your media partners because otherwise no one fucking cares about putting you on the major channels until league play. “no one cares about the non-con and we’ll be just fine! right. “
  17. Temple has beaten 2 shitty FCS teams. Don’t do this to yourselves. OU is going to fucking pummel Temple.
  18. Tell us more about darkness, because this is all lightness.
  19. To be clear, Texas did everything any of us could ask as fans. The NIL matched OU. The guy’s mom wanted him at OU and he preferred OU’s social scene. Texas and recruiting gurus questioned whether he loved football, and how long it would take to get him on the field, but Texas went all-in on him anyway. Maybe we regret the loss over time, but don’t let anyone revise history. He chose OU because he wanted to play at OU.
  20. That’s just a dated way to look at things. Outside of PSU and Clemson, anyone worth reviewing as a title contender had to replace numerous players on one or both sides of the ball. Ohio State? 15 starters. Georgia? 17 starters. The list goes on. LSU? 4 of 5 starting OL, the TE, multiple guys on the front 4, etc. The portal and NIL have made parity greater and mobility an issue for roster stacking. This is also why I’m not despondent and declaring the season over. You fucking people should watch other teams play every now and then. Damned near all of the powers and pretenders struggled with weak programs. Texas didn’t look great, but they didn’t look nearly as ugly as some other big names.
  21. Their boards seem to be suffering from G6-Guy-itis.
  22. Is this meant to be impressive? Good lord. I was probably clocked at faster than that this morning going through a HIIT workout with some ex-military friends.
  23. Hey, man, what the fuck?
  24. What’s to add here? Cream rises to the top. If Moore can’t show progress this season, you can bet your sweet ass that Biff will be in the chair from 2026 until he gets too old to do the work.
