  1. Quinn was much less of a problem than the OL blocking and running backs getting us behind the chains. Sure he needs to hit the deep throws but not getting any help from those two lowered the offensive output yesterday. Bama will be there for the taking if those units get their act together.
  2. Yall need to chill out on the MM bs. He was repeatedly losing his job to a true freshman leading into the season. QE will be fine and get picked in thr first 3 rounds after the season. 4 TDs and no picks is a much better game than his 2 Tds and a pick last year. He'll show up big next week and somebody will bitch that he missed 1 deep ball and that MM needs to start.
  3. QE was steller up to 20 yards and under pressure (including some good 1st down scrambles). I'll bet we hit a deep one next week early to balance out the offense the rest of the way. Baxter and Blue need the bulk of carries to get us 3.5+ on first downs to have a chance.
  4. Texas 24 Bama 17 285 total yards. Quinn breaks the tie on an AD Mitchell slant before the defense closes it out.
  5. 52-6 good guys. Don't expect Sark to show off too much and to just rely on our talent advantage to score at will. Save all the good stuff for Bama and profit.
  6. Finally talked a group of 3 friends into going. We will come by if I can get them on the road early enough.
  7. We will have 2 opportunities in the first 3 weeks to have backups play the 4th. Sark isn't going to waste reps on Murphy if Arch has already supplanted him. Also if Murphy is already falling behind he will want a fresh start in the spring at whatever school takes him. There will be a equal or better option than Murphy in the portal that can push Arch and give some insurance behind him
  8. Isn't he at Bama week 2? Would be a huge to have him watch back to back games especially with a top 5 win
  9. Murphy is going to get so much media hype next season for whichever SEC school takes him. He'll light up offseason videos and north east western state while Manning starts at Michigan in his 2nd game. I'm sure some here will bitch and moan if he struggles out of the gate while Murphy is lighting it up against nobodies.
  10. RE Wingo. If he lands at Mizzou soon then we should have a solid chance to flip him later in the year. They start out with FCS, MTSU, K State, Memphis and Vandy. They should be 4-1 at that point but will face LSU, Kentucky, USC jr, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Arkansas. That finish is 4-3 at best with 0-7 as the downside depending on how those teams shake out. If we win 10+ and Mizzou is any where near 5-7 I dont see a way they hold on to Wingo. In both of his full recruiting classes Sark has flipped an elite talent that was lost before the season (Banks/Hill) while adding some surprises late (Worthy/Brooks). Who is the best candidates for the 5 star flips this year? Wingo or Hudson would be the 2 best guesses if they commit soon to schools that have a real chance of being 7-5 or worse.
  11. Not many people hate Texas like Thamel does.
  12. They care about football now that they see the value Oregon/Washington just added by investing in it. 10 solid seasons and they would be a good Big 10 add if they add to go to 24
  13. The Ags are convinced that all of their locker room issues are fixed the day their two best receivers got into a fight.
  14. The Arch news is great but should not be a surprise. He should get blowout reps by the end of the year provided Quinn and the 1st team do what they should do. Any notion that Murphy was going to start next year was just wishcasting.
  15. Should be a big visit weekend with a big win vs Bama the week before
  16. And to expand on schools for non football front the Big10 cares only for football. The only value their 4 adds bring in non football is UCLA basketball which has finally turned the corner it seems. Of the Big 3 sports no P5 has won less NCs than the Big 10s 3. They add like a F500 company would add purely for profit with little care for the non revenue departments/sports.
  17. UVA averaged 600k viewers from 15-19 and 600k and 240k the last two years. They are a net negative to the Big10. Miami averaged 1.5 million from 15-19 but dropped to just over 1 million and 600k the last two years. In '21 they got 5.67 million for the Bama game and would averaged 615k the rest of the year. They don't have their own stadium continue to let their biggest donors embarrass the University. UNC averaged 750k from 15-19 and just over 1 million and 849k (with a Heisman level QB no less) the last two years. They vaguely reach the Washington level of viewership but who would be their Texas/USC/Oregon to help bring them along? Duke averaged 400k from 15-19 and 64k and 115k the last two years. Georgia Tech and Syracuse would be a better add than this. When ND gets squeezed by expanding conference slates they will have their choice of partners and Miami is 3rd in the state for brand/viewers etc.
  18. If you are inundated with aggies raving and reminiscing about Manziel this week kindly remind them that Kellen Mond was their greatest QB. He is the all time leader in TDs, yards, and major bowl wins. He's also the first QB in aggy history to finish in the top 4* since John Kimbrough led the ags to the 1939 championship.
  19. The Big10 has never taken a non AAU school in their history. The B2 in the latest round of expansion has taken pairs with at least 1 of them being in the top 15 of viewership with Washington being the lowest 2nd fiddle at ~35. ND is the only one that fits both of those and imo they are far off from joining the Big10. UVA, UNC and Miami don't add full share value unless ND drags one of them with. FSU and Clemson probably don't get SEC anytime soon with their antics so the ACC will be stable for a few more years.
  20. LSU baseball just became the first college sports team to literally purchase a national championship. Any LSU fan/reporter/administrator bitching about NIL is a hypocrite of the highest order.
  21. I was at the Miami game in CS last year and he was there with some other current NFL guys. The applause for Mike Evans was 2-3x what it was for Johnny. Those fans don't give a rip about Manziel anymore.
  22. Action Network and Brett McMurphy have started a wordle style game with cfb head coaches and their favorite music artists. Day 1 includes the AAC and our favorite FAU head coach.

  23. To each their own but the big 10 feels too corporate for college sports. None of their adds felt organic and are forced. The new travel schedule will kill their non revenue sports and further crater an abysmal baseball league. We've upgraded in all sports but basketball. We're right where we belong as an athletic blue blood.
