  1. What was the Jimbo walk back? I thought he doubled down with that ridiculous press conference?
  2. Referred to by some denizens of that state as “Cincitucky” Too soon
  3. By hook or by crook (and a weak Big 12), we need to scrape together 8 wins. If we can get to that, I think we can hold the 2023 class firmly together and not lose any transfers that we wanted to keep. We do that and 2023 could be the year this program takes off. 7 feels real shaky and we probably do see a couple jump ship. 6 and we really start taking on water. 5 and we’re probably starting the Urban Meyer thread back up. This year just feels real important.
  4. Just one of many examples why we can’t afford to shit the bed again this season
  5. Honest question - Is that a serious assessment? If so, is it based on reading this thread or your observations being on the ground in Austin? I’m genuinely interested because I really like what he is doing to upgrade the talent on the team but it is becoming increasingly clear that we won’t see that reflected on the field until 2023 at the earliest, and if we have another abortion of a year like the last one, a lot of that talent won’t be there in 2023.
  6. Sark looks like he has lost some weight
  7. I’m not sure that post about Cain being a “1:1 replacement” for Neyor means the author (Nahlin?) thinks Cain is as good a player as Neyor. It could just mean that the staff isn’t going to replace Neyor by a rotation of 2-3 guys at the position and that they intend to only plug in Cain for Neyor’s position. I was much more thrown off by the “striated glutes” comment at the end of the piece.
  8. I would hope so but a true freshman making the line calls and being consistent with his shotgun snaps worries the hell out of me. Need to start giving one of them a lot of reps right now.
  9. So much for just moving Whittington out there. And we’re a Jake Majors injury away from Logan Parr being our starting center.
  10. I know it’s hard to do but let’s at least get through one scrimmage without losing multiple starters to season ending injuries before we start feeling good about the season.
  11. Where does Whittington play in 12 personnel? Can he play outside?
  12. That was always my realistic hope for the season and would represent the kind of on the field progress that we needed to keep the off the field momentum going. Now it looks like a beautiful dream.
  13. Our overall WR is in much better shape than last year, but Hall is the only one with the physical tools to replace Neyor as a deep threat outside who can get off the press at the line of scrimmage. However his hands are dubious, and his attitude and commitment are even worse. Omeire has the size and hands, but is not a deep threat. Whittington, Milton, and Thompson are all slot guys.
  14. Can’t understate the loss of Neyor. We don’t have anyone with that combo of size and deep threat speed. That guy opened up the whole field for the offense. Having him as a play action deep threat was what made our 12 personnel so dangerous. Even worse, Wells has been saying how much chemistry Ewers had with him. Just an absolute kick in the nuts.
  15. Not as concerned about the 2022 guys because in this scenario they would be the ones getting the bulk of the playing time despite their youthful errors.
  16. I can be patient, and am willing to invest in youth for long term program strength at the expense of short term results, but will the 2023 recruiting class have the same patience? That’s my biggest concern in this day and age.
  17. Am I reading all these scrimmage reports correctly that Card ran the 1st team offense against the 2nd team defense while Ewers ran the 2nd team offense against the 1st team defense? Isn’t that kind of a significant factor when judging their performances that were reportedly very close to equal?
  18. Didn’t you read the scrimmage report? He’s coaching the new Wrecking Crew out there
