  1. God forbid you delete the space below a quote on a phone. Fucking stupid. Anyway, @SamMan, I laughed when I changed the thread title but I didn’t expect the kind of mileage we’ve seen now. I will edit it to something else involving you and donkey punches for kickers and punters whenever the shine for @Helobious shaking DTs down wears off.
  2. The guy didn’t actually go into the portal. Same shit with Blue a year or two ago. They wanted to keep Mitchell, but they weren’t going to match past NIL deals. Apparently he saw the light that no one was going to match that. The guy has progressed in the last two months. Maybe they get something out of him. Cook has serious off the field issues right now, allegedly. He’s not a take for anyone paying attention. He has a lot of shit to sort through to be a viable entity at the P4 level.
  3. He literally quit on the team. I don’t want that fuckwit anywhere near Texas.
  4. I have no idea whether “captagon “ is your typical word to text issue or if this is some sort of thing in current events.
  5. Okay, come on. The weakest parts of the team have been red zone QB’ing and K beyond 40. We are weakest at the two key fucking places you cannot be against quality opponents. There isn’t a fucking person on this board going into the Clemson game ranking P above those two issues. If someone is doing that, they haven’t been paying attention. We need a blowout to de-risk this motherfucker every game forward.
  6. 1) That site has corona. 2) Good luck to them. Maybe Steve Slaton will show up there shortly and make Dick Rod look awesome again.
  7. I know I’ve belabored it before, but I have friends who were involved with the ESPN and On3 ratings. In both situations, contemporaneously, they said the guys running the ratings did not want to rate Manning #1 overall because of the fear of being wrong. They got bullied by dimwits like Mike Farrell and Billy Liucci running around social media touting Manning as a 3 star player with a 5 star name. Those guys all deserve to be mocked every time they mention a ranking.
  8. Remember ATM’s big push for Nelson? I’m hoping that love affair can get rekindled.
  9. This whole thing was made up. It’s not credible and not close to what’s going on for multiple schools listed.
  10. I’m seeing a lot of worrying about the numbers here. Get a hold of yourselves. The only person around here needing to worry about numbers right now is Helobious.
  11. “losing a bowl game in TCU’s stadium is the low point of Oklahoma football in the last quarter century.” That podcast in 2-3 weeks.
  12. I saw the poster’s quote through you quoting him and had to laugh. I can’t remember why I put that guy on ignore, but that post is likely a good indicator. Have I not called the Weigman situation for two fucking years? I mean, I’m wrong plenty. Talk shit about those circumstances. Trying to paint me as off on Weigman is a truly bizarre approach. Frankly, how much regarding ATM have I missed on in years? It’s almost like I have a decent relationship with some folks who are pulling strings there. Weird. When Weigman was coming out of high school, a friend of mine, who played in the SEC, saw him in HS and raved about him. I may have passed that on, but that wasn’t my take and I’ve been skeptical of him from day one. Why? Because other friends, who everyone above room temperature IQ on this board respect, said the guy had concussion issues and was not going to be a good fit for Fisher’s offense. I told that to this board and we all watched it unfold.
  13. They just flipped the Michigan 2024 game from home to away as a bone to throw to Fox. The OSU away and home were always sandwiched between the Michigan games.
  14. Where does one fly into for Georgia? Atlanta? I don’t see a United Houston to Athens flight. Same question for Lexington, KY.
  15. I can’t bring myself to go for Indian when only in NOLA for short stints. Clancy’s ended up figuring some things out and we’re in on Thursday. Haven’t been to New Orleans since the Sugar Bowl. Staying at Hotel Monteleone for the first time in years. Should be fun. Hitting La Petite for brunch on Saturday. GW Fins, Clancy’s, Peche at night.
  16. The safety is good and the DT would be a 20 snaps a game guy. Good players from shitty teams are drafted into the NFL or portal by good teams every cycle and end up being excellent. Patrick Mahomes never won a fucking thing coming up the ranks at shitty schools before leading the Chiefs to numerous titles. Hudson Card was hailed as a winner coming into the Texas program and has done nothing but suck in college. It’s a silly take.
  17. If the title is adjusted, it could just be the UNC football and also Mack Brown thread. They play every year and might even be significant every now and then.
  18. Do you watch Johnny Be Good on a loop or something? Outside of one-offs and "anecdotes", what I said is correct. What you continue to write is ignorant fan fiction. Do you think a bunch of the athletes who actually graduated winding up as realtors and podcasters is a sign of anything? Hint: it's not indicative of millionaires and billionaires randomly paying large sums to them to go to work with them and be buddies. Also, knowing some of these guys on the player side over the years, randomly, the position you can't let go of here would be insulting to them.
  19. Mitchell has made over $500k since joining Texas. He was not about to get anywhere near $250k to stick around and be a tub of goo with a shitty work ethic and a bad attitude. No one "encouraged" him to leave, but the guy has a higher opinion of himself than anyone at Texas does. So now, Sydir Mitchell can: and I am here for it.
  20. The projection here is assuming that you know anything about what I think about Murphy. I don't "begrudge" the guy anything. I bedgrude the morons on this board, like you, who feel compelled to treat the Maalik Murphy with kid gloves that aren't afforded for virtually any other player. It reminds of the Applewhite fanboys back in the day. As to Murphy, I've always wished the guy good luck and said he was a mediocrity who quit on his team for money. More power to him and I'm not rooting against him. As to the "carry on" bit, thanks for reinforcing my point, if unwittingly.
  21. It is bizarre. The only non-bizarre part of it is that many of us knew this was happening. Sitting here with only 5 guys, all 1 or 2 year guys, heading into the 2025 season is weird and I'm at the point in which I see plenty of blame lying with Davis and how he recruited the DT room. The word has been 3-4 DTs in the portal, and I've been saying it here. I'm now curious to see who these players are and if they were lined up at all, or if it's just been assumed that the right guys would be there.
  22. My point wasn't that he'd visit or even wind up at MSU, but that it wasn't a locked up thing and that Auburn was very much a player. I read the OU 247 board enough to be able to understand, to some degree, who knows things and who doesn't. One of the non-$9.95er guys that seems to know someone involved with Arnold has been saying Auburn even when the mods were touting the MSU deal. Apparently, Lebby's been saying it's a done deal without actually checking with the Arnold camp.
  23. I guess it's kind of a regret-free thing. The guy put up elite numbers, he won't cost much at all, he's probably happy for the opportunity to be a role player and ST guy. None of that is bad and there's roster space for sure. I'm guessing, even if they land him, they try to find another LB with production at a higher level as well. LB is going to be somewhat of a tough sell in that the starters are now entrenched and good.
  24. I take your posts seriously and don't always call you the village idiot. I feel like I am one of the nicest posters on here when it comes to you. This post I'm quoting hurts, sir.
