  1. SEC schools are going to lean into the Southern Christian culture and iconography more and more as it relates to certain real or perceived political climates, especially with parents of recruits from those areas. We try to keep things apolitical on these boards but that's not the case with other SEC coaches and fan bases. Small towns throughout the American south are built around Church/God, Football, Family; culture and politics will damn sure be real factors in recruiting against Texas. It really doesn't matter if the locker room is full of delinquents and cancers, for a religious parent on a visit concerned for their child's development future, a coach saying all the familiar phrases and relatable 'faith' quips is a real panacea. Fortunately we should be able to pull enough talent regardless, but I'm interested to see where the UT football staff goes in the future to counter; more "God" sprinkled in during visits and texts, or more emphasis on west and northeast talent pools?
  2. If you're not standing in line at noon to see Bert Auburn something is seriously wrong with you
  3. He is older and should be stronger at this point. It's anecdotal either way however, and the RB 1v1 LB video posted recently showed Brooks getting ragdolled by Blackwell, which is part of what formed my perspective. If reports say otherwise that's good to hear
  4. My main concern with Brooks is blitz pickup and overall pass blocking. Roschon was really good there and Bijan worked on that hard after his freshman season. We are going to take a serious step back there to start the season I expect. Considering how many times the backs were called upon to assist the OL in passing situations, and we STILL gave up play breaking pressure on Ewers, I don't think the passing game will become elite until a #1 rb emerges that will do it all at least at above average levels. Vision, ball security, hands, and blocking. That said, I expect that guy to be Baxter over Brooks maybe by mid season or towards the end of the season
  5. Don't call me a linguist, but I think there is a tradition in the English language to modify the pronunciation of the word in these cases to help differentiate the word's given role. Such as dom•en•ayt and dom•en•uht... Deev•e•ayt and deev•e•uht Helps greatly in making it all less irritating
  6. He doesn't mean 'to dominate' Being a dominate force and a dominant force are both acceptable to say. That's his point. Let's move on already
  7. Two minutes isn't a lot of time, and I'm just on the shitter anyway but, that was the most pointless 2 minute click in a long time
  8. Selling Norwex on Zoom might be stretching the term "gainful employment" a little bit
  9. Oh God, I hadn't thought about the "SEC ready" reports that are coming.
  10. That's his way of shitting down his leg. It's cowardice and mental freezing, and vs Arky he would have taken as many or more sacks. I'm not saying Card had anything defensible of his performance, but shit, Quinn isn't an "unflappable" guy, he's a fake it till you make it type that sees his first pass broken up and nearly picked and then every pass afterward is an abomination downstream of his scared shitless reaction. The overthrows, throwaways, and off balance deliveries happen because he's fucking scared
  11. Imagine if it had been Quinn last year starting on the road vs Arky with that crowd and energy holy fucking shit. If any fan of college football is wondering what a QB actively shitting down both legs looks like, we're seeing it with Ewers this season.
  12. You can just see the picks coming as we get desperate
  13. It's not like Jordan Whittington is a twitchy burner, especially after the injuries and bulking. Greathouse will be a good replacement for him, perhaps an upgrade if we're honest. A smaller guy I thought would be a great slot prospect in LV Bunkley Shelton hasn't done shit, including now at OU, just one example but there's no reason not to like the mismatch approach to evaluation
  14. Great win for the horns, but, holy shit Oklahoma's luck with head coaches is officially confirmed over. Venables is so, so bad
  15. Best set of highlights all season just absolutely brutalized by slack jawed Tim Brando As for DL talk, Byron Murphy is easily our best interior guy now
  16. I think the safeties played poorly, not what I would characterize as "safe". In particular, Jerrin Thompson on the first, and arguably most important, of their numerous 4th down conversions displayed an outstanding lack of football iq and playmaking ability. 4th and 7, Tech was desperate to respond to our early td and McGuire really needed it to fire up his team and send a message. Had it failed, and it should have been at least reviewed but whatever, Tech simply crumbles within the first quarter. We would have taken a lightning quick 14-0 lead and more importantly the defense would have gotten some juice from the turnover. Tech motions their receiver, with the obvious back and forth tell, "we're trying to free him up for the throw" action. Thompson picks him up and keeps a deep cushion, and fucking BAILS well past the first down marker as the Tech guy simply stops and waits for the pass. 4th and fucking 7 and you don't protect the sticks... Not even a particularly well anticipated pass mind you. Thompson gets back just in time for the courteous push after ball is secured and both feet are down. Shortly after, 7-7 and Tech is feeling self assured about never punting again
  17. Compare Sanders on our last offensive play vs Cupp on the next play.
  18. I expected more from Jeff Banks. Sanders is ass my dude right now and needs more time in the incubator. He's a real negative in inline blocking or pulling situations and as a coach you have to realize when you can afford to give nascent potential freedom to fuck up and improve, and when you fucking can't afford it. Helm? Davis? And if there isn't anyone else you know won't whiff on critical blocks, go out and get your transfer yesterday (billingsley lmao). I realize there are myriad other obvious things to bitch about, but he was supposed to be standout as a coach. Maybe he's spread too thin on responsibilities, but shit man. Disappointing
  19. I would expect the average 15 year old to have more innate sense than this. Texags stinks of half a century plus of brainwashing
