  1. That Children’s Hospital will just have to wait a few more years.
  2. Guess Gerry was right about the visits to ATM and LSU meaning he is speeding up his timeline (unless the commitment date he announces is signing day).
  3. I knew his Dad was heavily involved but didn’t remember that about him. I just remember that Nolen was unstoppable when properly motivated but that wasn’t often. The Collins/McKinley thing seems more of a “nice kids from good families” thing which speaks well for their future in life, but isn’t what you typically see in dominant defensive linemen.
  4. The desire to be a computer science major at UT is a dead giveaway. Thinking of Walter Nolen? He gives me Albert Haynesworth vibes.
  5. Seems like another data point that McKinley may be Alfred Collins 2.0.
  6. The similarities of Texas and Tennessee since the late 2000’s are eerie. The only difference is the one year of Kiffin. They both had a longtime coach who was a great recruiter, not so great game day coach, who out talented everyone but would lose to a big rival (OU and Florida), then both got over the hump and won a BCS Championship. They both passed their sell by date and were ousted. Skip the Kiffin year. Strong and Dooley had the identical record in their respective three years. Butch Jones and Tom Herman both gave the appearance of a return to prominence before imploding. Really hoping Sark doesn’t mirror Pruitt even though their records for their first two seasons are identical. Sark seems to be handling everything off the field light years better than Pruitt so far. I think you got a good one with Heupel, possibly a great one. He really reminds me of when Spurrier hit the league in 1990.
  7. From what I’ve heard, this was just very low level cash and benefit payments on a widespread scale with incredible sloppiness. The total figure I’ve heard paid out over two years was $60,000 to 16 players and their families, making up 200 separate violations. This is the kind of shit that was done at every place Pruitt worked before Tennessee, those places just had a better infrastructure for keeping it under wraps. It all looks very petty when compared to the new NIL landscape.
  8. Need one of the 5 stars to jump in soon.
  9. What are they talking about here? It sounds like Ketch is saying Davis (Weston?) is flipping to us?
  10. I totally forgot a guilty pleasure of mine - 1982’s Cat People, with Nastassja Kinski at the height of her powers.
  11. I got the sense that we wanted him. This wasn’t an Anthony Hill level of recruiting battle but we definitely wanted him. He is just a safety, so if you’re going to lose a battle, there are worse positions to miss and we have other options.
  12. 1982 was the year for genre classics, I saw almost all of these in the theater: - Blade Runner - The Thing - ET - Poltergeist - Wrath of Khan - Conan the Barbarian - Tron - Rocky 3 - Dark Crystal - Fast Times at Ridgemont High - 48 Hours - Creepshow - Diner - The King of Comedy -First Blood And then a bunch of Oscar bait like Gandhi, Sophie’s Choice, The Verdict, Officer and a Gentlemen and Tootsie
  13. I’ve bought one the last few years because I’m old and enjoy the ritual of buying college football preview magazines in the summer. Having one devoted entirely to my favorite team is a bonus.
  14. Seems like a random time for him to post this. Or does he do it for every school he’s considering?
  15. Melvin Hills, please deliver us from this purgatory tomorrow
  16. Ethan Strauss calls this “Fracking the Pie.” Leagues aren’t even trying to grow their fan base, they now focus on extracting more and more dollars out of each existing fan. Online gambling is a big part of this.
  17. I feel like I’ve heard one of the IT guys on the podcast saying that Swanson is showing some real ability, he’s just having trouble putting on weight and may have a longer development curve because of it.
  18. Still better than Lawrence Welk
  19. The North Dallas Forty high-low special
  20. Getting some Alfred Collins vibes here. He seems to have the same tall, lanky, body type as Collins as well. Being a smart kid from a good family who wants to major in computer science speaks well of him as a person and for his future. Not sure how well that fits the profile of successful defensive linemen. Definitely a take based on ability, hope Bo Davis can bring out the dog in him.
  21. And it feels so good
  22. Made it seem like a Dr. Who episode to me, but YMMV.
