  1. I think it is the opposite. We’re seeing better play across the board because of the portal and NIL. Now, neither of those things applies to Army or Navy. I think what you’re seeing with those two is that the QB play for both this year has been phenomenal and that is guiding their records as much as anything.
  2. -2 more DTs and possibly a 3rd if it is the right one. -Top end LB or bust -Hilson and Terry are in unless something weird happened recently. -If they take K Johnson, it is strictly to piss on The Elk’s rug. They’re going to take a burner with numbers from the portal regardless. That’s allocated. -The 2026 S is reclassifying so they’re done after that position unless he screws something up late. -They might have to get obnoxious at CB and given that the competition is Oregon, Ohio State, Alabama and ATM, I have to assume they’d target Dijon Lee. This position remains a head scratcher. -Given that Terry is going to practice in the spring as though he’s Tyler Warren and one or both of the full time TBs are enrolling early, they’re unlikely to go after a portal TB unless he’s free and hungry. -At DT, it’s not so much about landing any single specific guy, and the market is set on what these guys will cost. Whichever guys mesh the best with the staff and want to come to Texas more than some other place, those will be the extra 2-3 guys with whom they close.
  3. This is an excellent description of what they do, really. I read the Cale Gundy threads that pop up on Sooners Illustrated every time they face adversity. It’s bizarre. I would not give one fuck what Major Applewhite or Rod Wright cared to offer about what they think Texas is doing wrong, and both are far more accomplished than the lesser Gundy.
  4. I didn’t know there was a thread. Both that and your tale are simultaneously amazing and alarming.
  5. He was a high 4 star and he’s was on first team AA teams for 2023. Never been JAG, really. He was committed to Texas when Herman was here and then decommitted because his girl went to OU and Herman’s regime was in shambles. He then ran his mouth and shit talked Texas, even after Sarkisian got here and recruited him. He’s continued to run his mouth around the game each year. Also, talking about getting coached up and then winding up with Jay Valai as your position coach, well, you fucked around, now you’re finding out.
  6. Well, I dig your pettiness. Fuck this guy and his bullshit from his recruitment 3 years ago.
  7. I was once stuck on a plane at the gate in Las Vegas for two hours, awaiting takeoff. Ultimately, a horrific stench wafted through the entire fuselage, even making its way up to first class. The pilot explained that someone had done something horrific to the toilet in the back bathroom on the arriving flight and they were having to replace the entire thing. I have always just assumed it was one of those giant fatass aggies that can be seen on Rascals, just hauling their heaving masses from slot machine to slot machine while they smoke and breathe loudly.
  8. 1) Someone being wrong once doesn't make everything they post worthy of dismissal. Red Five has been around a hell of a lot longer than you have and he's a damned good poster. 2) I'm not even sure you've got the right poster in your comment.
  9. Johnson Rubell will be playing a lot.
  10. Two wins by one point against Rice and Gardner Webb and then a blowout win against ECU. On the losses end, blowout losses to JMU, North Carolina and Indiana. It's like they're two different teams. I'm assuming the shitty team shows up against Navy, of course.
  11. He and Clemson have done a great job of beating the shit out of the team in front of them on the schedule after getting publicly buttfucked by Georgia. Now, the schedule has been dogshit and we haven't learned a whole lot about whether the improvements for Klubnik and Clemson are real or not, but they've done what they can. The rest of the schedule looks like more of a challenge, so I am interested in seeing if this continues.
  12. I agree with the zen master approach, Gust.
  13. I think it’s 4 out of 5. One is coming. I thought about OU, but just couldn’t muster the personal concern. One is coming for this week, though. I’ve outlined the whines and rebuttals in my head already.
  14. Twitter is saying that Littrell has been fired and that Harrell has been promoted to QB coach. Anyone got anything more credible than a stream of okie twitter posts?
  15. I rewound the play and you can literally hear the poor bastard’s leg snap during the play. It’s brutal.
  16. Winsipedia tracks this as a relevant stat and will also show the dates in history in which the ranking occurred, for those interested in looking more closely.
  17. This is the same fat-mouthed clown that spent all last week denigrating Hill and saying that OU needed to direct a lot of its offense directly at Hill. Strong work.
  18. You don’t have a game breaker on offense and your team is going up against the best defense in the conference and probably the country. Outside of a short field via turnover or something on special teams, how exactly do you see your offense and Mike Bobo running up an early lead on the road that causes Texas to have to play catch-up?
  19. Once I got to the front of the logjam, it was the fact that they only had two security lines. After that, they just wanted to see the tickets. It’s a shitshow and took forever but they thankfully weren’t actually scanning.
  20. They are scanning tickets at the fair entrance. Never seen this before. It is an absolute shitshow and trampling risk has felt real by the DART tracks. Ridiculous.
  21. They just spent a segment on Gameday railing on the faking of injuries. That damned sure came from on high and you can almost guarantee it is numbers driven. Guys like Rece Davis and Saban being as direct and specific around calling it cheating, dirty, unethical, etc., is not common for any subject. I’m neverminding the complete hypocrisy of Saban whining about cheating and ethics for this issue, largely because he’s right and also because it suits my POV as a fan.
  22. God willing, I feel like this exact kind of nonsense will be flooding this board in a few weeks.
  23. I think this plus discretionary large fines for the coaches will end it pretty fucking quickly. We’ll see how fucking smart and cute Lane Kiffin is after getting a $250k fine dropped on his ass. It’s flat out cheating and it takes away from the fun of watching the game. I’m guessing the media rights entities are letting the SEC hear it and that shit is starting to roll down hill quickly. Hence Ole Miss having to say something.
  24. Jeff Sims insures that Arizona State has no chance of winning this game if Leavitt can’t go. He’s one of the worst FBS QBs in the last 15 years.
  25. He was a 5 star. So, incorrect there. What is not relevant to your comment? You were attempting to imply that Owens must actually have discovered something and be okay because he’s on an NFL roster and that chips away at the prior poster’s comparison. If you want to get pedantic on this it just insults the discussion. No one disputed your statement of fact, but I damn sure disputed the point you were trying to make. This new guy might be awesome or he might wind up a Tyler Owens. That was a fair point. Driving by and inserting that Owens is on an NFL roster after having a busted career in college. which is, you know, the concern of this board, isn’t actually relevant.
