  1. The UTSA game sets up well for us. I do think they take a step back but it is early enough in the year that if we win convincingly then people will call it a quality win regardless of how the rest of their season goes.
  2. He tried that last year with Thompson in the Louisiana game and it felt cheap that Card didn't get to put the nail in the coffin of his first start. QBs need confidence and rhythm especially when they're young and imo that's why Card struggled last year cause he never got a full game from start to finish to get going.
  3. Card obviously had his issues last year but Sark did him no favors by never letting him get back in a rhythm. Not to be a Card homer but I think he would have developed nicely with more game reps. That being said I think this competition is over and the closed practices are just Sark trying to be Saban like and not show his hand ala Tua/Hurts a few years back.
  4. The aggies started to claim financial superiority in 2018 when Forbes published a report saying they were the most valuable team even though the list was based om revenue and not actual value. They always fail to mention that they passed us up solely due to contributions for the Kyle field renovation and Fisher contract. From the article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chrissmith/2018/09/11/college-footballs-most-valuable-teams/
  5. I watch this through every single time. Never gets old.
  6. Not sure but this same question was brought up in May when people thought he may have left the program before he got here
  7. The first 10 minutes of this podcast are straight slander of a&m
  8. This drill will come in handy when they come across any Jimbo size defenders.
  9. Then Huston starts at guard by week 3 and Campbell takes over at the other guard or center by week 6.
  10. MSU just paid Tucker the same deal that Kelly got at LSU before the new TV deal kicks in. I think part of why Kelly left was because that deal and the Franklin deal set a new floor for elite coaches and obviously ND couldn't hold onto Kelly. What happens when these new TV deals pay 100/year and ND has to convince coaches not to take a 50%+ raise all guaranteed?
  11. 20-30 Million is a lot of money to turn down even for ND. They lost 2 of their Big 3 coaches this year and while money may not have been the biggest factor in each it will only get worse if they are 30 million behind. If Freeman starts winning then what is stopping Penn State or Michigan State or Nebraska from using that surplus of 30 million to pry him away. These programs that weren't able to make money with donor subsidization will suddenly all be profitable and those same donor funds will/should be reallocated to NIL and facilities upgrades. 30 million may not matter if that was the difference over a decade but per year is a whole different animal.
  12. This may be a bad interpretation of the topic but that 2013 Florida State team may have been the worst championship team of that decade. Feels like Bama was rebuilding and would have won had the kick 6 not happened. Plus nobody else was super impressive that year and all we cared about was the 2014 playoff. The Bama/LSU debacle a few years earlier was a worse title but man that FSU team was as forgettable as they come.
  13. OB seems to post their updates when IT and 247 don't post notes so they can be more liberal with the info they publish.
  14. The jokes write themselves in college Station
  15. Bumping this. At #46 and losing their second highest commit its hard to see them not destroying this record. If they don't win big it'll be tough sledding for Jimbo
  16. Cards issue in those throws of the lack of touch you hear analysts talk about. No reason to throw an out 90 miles an hour every time. Ewers on the other hand throws a more catchable ball on those routes.
  17. Love the hearing great things about some jags and throwing Bowen in there to keep them happy.
  18. Video from practice mostly day 2 i would assume. Highlights include a Ewers and Murphy throw, Neyor TD on Jamison, Jamison PBU and a Jamison pick off an underthrow.
  19. They had one chance to flip Nelson and missed. Once the season starts and SC is rolling on offense and Jimbos offense is fighting for 27 week in and out then Nelson will stop answering the call
  20. It'll be interesting if they can follow up that class with a true top 5 this year. 20 and 21 had a lot of bread. I'd compare them to Herman's classes where they had a couple of high end guys with a bunch of projects. One great class will get wasted quickly if 23 is just a top 25 class.
  21. Where do we think Card ends up next year? Georgia was trying to flip him late if I remember and Tim Beck is at NC State right now. UCLA if Chip survives also feels like a good system fit.
  22. I am on record saying my comp for Ewers is Mahomes with their playing style. Compare what BB said to Mahomes' draft profile. Let's hope Sark doesn't overthink the intangibles like the NFL did in 2017 https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2017pmahomes.php
