  1. "We need to win one game over a credible opponent this season to reclaim momentum."
  2. You skipped right over "purely longhorn exaggerates" to point this out? This is Looch we're talking about. If things were spelled correctly, I'd question the authenticity.
  3. They still need to get to five losses before they can feel really confident about a natty next year, but most of the metrics are there.
  4. Aggy is the exact opposite of most fanbases. NOTHING is the head coach's fault. Jimbo is an offensive genius, a master program builder, a phenomenal game-day coach, and an unrivaled recruiter. When their season tanks, it can’t be Jimbo. His offensive philosophy has worked in “multiple leagues” and his game-planning is without equal. It can’t be a lack of talent—Jimbo has stocked the roster with elite prospects all over the field. Jimbo is a sitting national championship coach who has an unfinished trophy to prove it. The only thing left is to blame the players. Yes, it must be the players’ fault for being lazy and stupid. That’s the only explanation. In fairness, they have a point. Any player who chooses to play for aggy clearly isn’t the brightest bulb in the box.
  5. The incessant equivocation in these Looch chats between feigned momentary perception of reality and indomitable blind homerism is absolutely delicious. I’d be surprised if there aren’t big changes this week, but I don’t think there will be big changes because there don’t need to be. I’m not going to say that we’ll win the national championship next year, but we’re still on track to win the national championship next year. I need to see more from this team, but there’s no need to be concerned. Second year coaches often lose 3 or 5 or 6 games and still win the national championship in their third year. It happens all the time. Jimbo just needs to push his players more to stop making so many mistakes. (Apparently, coaching is simultaneously the problem and the solution.) They’re going to tinker with the options they don’t have on defense. Mond is going to run more, but not much more. Losing Corbin and Williams hurts, but Cordarrian Richardson is the savior. Our TEs don’t know what they are doing, but are elite. (Maybe they are elite at not knowing what they are doing?) We can start stronger in games by being more aggressive earlier, but we’re already being aggressive enough early. Mond is Justin Herbert, but better. Jimbo is Nick Saban, but he is the most honest coach I’ve ever seen and doesn't hide behind HIPPA. Auburn has the best defensive line in the country and probably maybe the best in the SEC. Unlike the Clemson and Auburn games, we are going to try to beat Arkansas and not just run out of time run out the clock. Aggy is the great paradox of our time--truly a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma, if there ever was one. The only key is the aggy collective delusion.
  6. Speaking of Eaton, it was mentioned that some coaches were waiting for his senior film to see if he'd show on-field improvement which matches his measurables. Does anyone know how he's looked so far this season?
  7. This update on Evans has it all. He was all set to commit to Georgia, but they wouldn't take his commitment. He's still a take for them, though, so if Evans picks A&M, it's a huge head-to-head win. On the other hand, if Georgia changes its mind, it's not over until Evans signs. Sounds like a win-win-win.
  8. You're both right, of course, but, in fairness, it won't matter how much technical improvement Ringo needs in coverage when WRs are on their backs on the turf behind the LOS.
  9. It's been discussed. A good number of posters (more than half) seem to think it was the right decision. It clearly wasn't. OSU winning it with a touchdown and two field goals was improbable. We should've kicked the extra point so they'd need two touchdowns to tie or take the lead, in which case we still could've re-claimed the lead with a FG. There must be some chart that says when up 11, go for 2, but it was the wrong call at that point in the game.
  10. True, but that record is inflated by his last three years at Florida State. At aggy, Jimbo is 6-6 against the Power 5. Sumlin was 30-26.
  11. This. The defense was playing without Foster and Overshown and saw Green, Sterns, Jamison, and Thompson go off with injuries during the game, yet they held OSU to three FG attempts, came up with two fourth down stops, and only allowed one touchdown not gifted by the special teams. It wasn't perfect, and it certainly wasn't pretty, but it was pretty damn good under the circumstances.
  12. Seems like UCLA plays its best football once they're down 4 touchdowns or more.
  13. He does shoot off the ball well. Granted, it's face-down into the turf half the time, but if Henson can coach him up to stay on his feet and redirect that downward momentum horizontally, they could have something here.
  14. I missed the date of this tweet and read it as satire.
  15. Sounds like the perfect aggy recruit. Who cares if you win any meaningful games as long as you can slow it down enough to not get blown out on the scoreboard and stay close enough to tu in the recruiting rankings to cry conspiracy every February all year round? It's not about achieving notable results; it's all about manufacturing hype and maintaining the false illusion of hope. I mean, if this doesn't scream aggy salvation, I don't know what does.
  16. So you're saying Michael Williams didn't "walk on" there for the academics.
  17. This may be the most all-over-the-place player comparison post I've ever read. 😄
  18. Rivals era, but Tevin Jackson would like a word.
  19. I can't be the only one who opened this thread expecting a lot more analysis than that.
