There’s a similar thread on the 247 Georgia board where they’re whining about Texas doing “illegal” things with money and not staying within the NIL “cap”. It’s a delicious read. I’d post it, but I don’t care enough about the rest of you people right now to put in the work. -

If it helps at all, no one else knows a fucking thing here, either. -

Have you seen something somewhere to indicate that that might not be the case? -

FYI, I mixed up my names. Miami thinks they're landing both Lamar and Cooper, not Lamar and Crowell. Wolk thinks UGA is completely out on both Crowell and Cooper. -

"I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque." What exactly does he "know"? Is your friend Kevin Trudeau? Jason Higdon? Gotch Yarbrough? When and where did this originate? I missed it, and it is fucking awesome. -

Thoughts from the Georgia side, per Wolk, for a few targets: -Jae Lamar (RB) decides later this week between UGA, Clemson and Miami. Georgia had four OVs from TBs this cycle: Lamar (from Georgia), Hiter, Crowell and Cooper. UGA does not expect to land the other 3 and the eggs are in the Lamar basket. Miami mods, who are often idiots and laughably wrong, believe that Miami is landing both Lamar and Crowell. Regardless, UGA being out for Cooper and Crowell is news to me. -Georgia thinks it’s landing Calicut, per intel from a source close to Calicut at North Shore. Why does Texas ever fucking bother recruiting that shitstain program? What a fucking waste. -UGA seems to think it is out on Malakai Lee, but holding out hope. -They’ve lost confidence in landing James Johnson. -

You think Fawcett was exicitedly tweeting about an edit for a guy who has been committed to Texas for a year? Okay then. -

Yeah, that reads like they might not have pushed or let him do any pushing either. Sort of like @BurntOrange&White on his prom date. -

9 for me. I think damned near everyone is surprised. They don’t just take commitments for momentum like many schools. They’d push back on him committing if they didn’t feel great after fully vetting him. They know they’re in this against Oregon, OSU and potentially the imbeciles at USC, so they’re not naive on what it is going to take to sign him. No reason not to feel good here. -

Wow. -
Why are there always weirdos who have to show up and whine about extra college football being played? It used to be “oh great, another meaningless bowl game, womp womp”. Then it became “why do we need more than a 4 team playoff? all of the bowl games are now meaningless, womp womp”. Now it’s “why do we need to expand to 16 teams in the playoffs? why do they keep playing bowl games? we only need to see the two best teams play, womp womp.” Ridiculous. We are in the doldrums of the sports calendar. I would murder every poster on this thread if getting a college football game on this afternoon required it.

Texas A&M Recruiting 2026: The World's Drunkest Elk

When the aggies are buying guys, Liucci and staff know and they’re overtly bullish to the point of outright bragging before the player makes the announcement. When they’re not just moneywhipping a guy, you see posts like Howell on Turntine. Even though they’ve made a ludicrous offer to him, he and his family have not pulled the trigger and are concerned about, you know, actually getting developed for much bigger paydays later. I still think he’s taking the ATM offer due to the alleged gap between it and what Texas finds prudent. It’s just insane to pay major dollars for a guy that isn’t likely to contribute for 2 years or more. I guess he’d start right away out of need at ATM or something. -
Is Byron White some analog in your earlier era as a student or something? I’ve never heard of the guy. I have like 500+ posts on this site that qualify as humblebrags or outright brags, and that post wasn’t one of them. What is the brag?

Both guys appear to be 3 star jaggers. DNW. -
I played against White in HS several times. He really was a very fast, tiny little guy. He had a class with one of my girlfriends in college and tried the “I’m a football player” move on both her and friend of hers at one point or another that semester. Shoot your shot, but maybe find girls that aren’t taller than you in order to see the move land. Regardless, he did too much on the field to merit me lumping him into that list.

It’s alright to be little bitty, unless you’re a turbohyped jagger who turns around and goes 4 for 47 across 16 games for a season. We’ve got a Matt Davis clone on our hands, folks. Your basic Jeremy Jones. Courtnee Garcia is going to question his production.

The fan letters are a true treasure each fall. Texags usually manufactures at least 3 each season and I cannot get enough of them. -

Nagy telling Venables who to play is awesome. This keeps getting better and better.

OU Football 2025 - League Average & Loving It
closetojumping replied to closetojumping's topic in Football
Regarding OU's schedule: 8/30 5pm - Illinois State - Another season where OU courageously schedules an FCS school. Is anyone else a better midget-puncher than the fucking okies? They're going to look like a top 5 team as they win 84-7. 9/6 6:30pm - Michigan - My small write-up from a few weeks ago on Michigan for 2025 is spoilered below. I posted it on this thread when someone asked about them on page 1, but here it is again below. Bottom line is that this could be a defensive dogfight. Both defenses should be pretty good and ahead of both offenses, probably by a lot. Gaylord is a tough place to play, but Michigan is arguably more talented and experienced. This is a "show me" game for Venables, along with the RRS. If he wins this one, OU's pushing against their ceiling and might be looking at 9-3, even. 9/13 11am - @ Temple - Yep, OU is going to Philly. I honestly don't think that's a bad H/H/A deal, provided you like Philly. I personally dislike Philadelphia more than any other major city I've ever visited, anywhere on the planet. Angry, shitty people. Dirty overall landscape. Usually, the weather fucking sucks. But, hey, the history is awesome. I'm talking more about the city than Temple because there isn't much to discuss with regard to Temple. They return their atrocious QB and a 4 time transfer to challenge him, 3 OLs, the SHSU RB that followed new HC Keeler, and 2 CBs. That's all the starters. Temple opens against UMass, also with a new HC, and Howard. They'll be 2-0 coming into this game and the hype leading into will be through the roof. A mole rat's roof. 9/20 2:30 or nighttime - Auburn - A lot of people are sleeping on Auburn for 2025. Maybe that's justified, I don't know. Freeze has been a disappointment. Arnold has been a disappointment. But, Freeze has recruited really well. Auburn has, potentially, an amazing WR corps. They return 3 OLs, a likely 1st round pick at Edge and the entire secondary except Jerrin Thompson. DJ Durkin has yet to kill anyone there, also. This one should be physical. 9/27 - OFF 10/4 3pm - Kent State - Another brave scheduling match-up in the non-con on the part of OU. I assume Kent State will be the worst FBS team yet again, even with Delaware and Missouri State joining the ranks. 10/11 2:30 - Texas - Rubber meets the road for Venables with this game. I predict pain. 10/18 11am - @ South Carolina - SCar has two of the best players at their position in the country in Sellers (QB) and Stewart (Edge). They have to replace a metric ton around both of them. SCar is going to be overranked heading into this season and, by that, I mean they'll be ranked. Still, I'm sure they'll be a tough team and they certainly have no fear for OU after last season. 10/25 11am - Ole Miss - Yet another team that is likely to start the season ranked and will not finish the season as so. Kiffin has to replace almost every starter this season. I think Ole Miss is headed for an FSU 2024 type of year unless they really hit on all transfers. 11/1 2:30 or nighttime - @ Tennessee - Crazily, Tennessee will also likely open the season ranked. They lost most of their starters on offense and they're going to battle in the SEC with the former App State QB as their starter. Woof. They return most of their defense, but they lost 2 of the front four and Pearce. The front seven was the key to their team last season. 11/8 - OFF 11/15 2:30 or nighttime - @ Alabama - Bama returns numerous high quality starters, including Ryan Williams, Miller, and Proctor on offense. They also return Keenan JR, Lawson and most of the secondary on defense. Bama hosts LSU the week before and that might be a giant help to OU, coming off of a bye. The talent disparity in this game is gigantic. 11/22 11am - Missouri - Mizzou was a paper tiger in 2024 and everyone knew it. Once they were exposed later in the year, the bloom was off the rose for 2025 expectations. They lost key talent all over the field. I expect them to struggle to get to a winning record. 11/29 2:30 or nighttime - LSU - I did a write-up on LSU on a recruiting thread discussion and I've spoilered that below. The bottom line is that LSU is going to be good this year, but they're also not a top 10 team. Nussmeier gets a ton of credit for being a guy that can really hit a 10 yard out or dig decently. Outlook: I've continued to think that this team is better than they're getting credit for, and after thinking through the schedule, especially when removing brand vaneer for some of these teams, I'm still thinking that OU is a 8/5-9/4 team in 2025. That's probably good enough to keep Venables on as HC, and to keep us happy.
