    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. 

    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.

    Town Lake isn't big enough any more?

    Where are your paisley ties?

    A buddy, "in the know", just texted me:

     

    Figure it out.  I'll let you know when it happens.  6, 31, 17, 12, 49

     

    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.

  3. 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.

    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.

    Masterclass in humblebrag in this post

    Surprised the epilogue wasnt about how, years later, he approached your company to sell something and used the UT alum move. How you’d grant him an audience but his offer wasn’t as good as Jim Bob Moffatt’s.

    My Byron White story is not as impressive. He caught a pass earlier in the season. We had no idea who he was and joked his jersey number (1) represented the amount of receptions he’d get for the year. We didnt’t know his mom was sitting a few rows behind us.

    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?

    Tell me he could be the next Justin McLemore and I’ll be downright giddy.

    I was going to say Bryan White but he made two massive plays at Nebraska in 1998 so I’m not talking shit on him. Without those two catches and Ricky running down a DB from behind after a pick, we don’t win that game…

    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.

  7. 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.

    All of their lore is based on self-agrandizing lies that do not hold up under the mildest of scrutiny. They generate random fictions over there on a daily basis. On idiot speculates and all the parrots repeat it and respond to it as though it is gospel.

    Just look at their phony fan letters. 

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