    Others seem to be managing to keep up just fine. “Reading is hard” is probably going to continue to be a widely mocked stance on the recruiting board for the University of Texas. But by all means feel free to start another news only/link thread and go watch the tumbleweeds roll past you there. Otherwise the football board or texags awaits! 
     

    also the positive reps your posts got for the scathing hot “everyone stop and spoon feed me info because I hate words” take is a pretty telling illustration. You’re in great company. 

    Look everyone, it’s the Taylor Hamm of the 995 board. Are you 5’5” too? Maybe we can change your username to BurntOrange&Slight. 

    Herman being a moron inspired my first name but reading is hard is way fuckin better long term haha. How many reach arounds does it take to have your name changed around here? I’m asking for a friend 

  2. It speaks volumes about how far we have fallen when one kid, who had shitty coaching, can cause damage to the program over the EOT. I wish sterns well but Sark wins 10 games next year and nobody will give a fuck what sterns thought two years from now.

    You know ... these young men are so fucking stupid. Here's Juwan, the opportunity of a lifetime staring in him the face.  Literally all he has to do is the work. But because of a really dumb and inflated ego, he's fucking that chance up.  He's not as good as he thinks he is and when this ride ends he'll blame the system or something else for why he didn't get the chances he "deserved,"  never realizing that the universe doesn't give a shit about what you think you deserve.  We see it every year with these young men.  Fortunately for us there are others just like him  in a never-ending stream, ready to take their shot at it. 

    You can't fix stupid. 

    This seems a little brutal man, most of these kids come from really awful environments. Their athletic gifts open a lot of doors but it usually takes people years and years after the fact to learn life lessons.

    I agree.  Don’t think Sark would’ve much either. I’m not trying to come off saying that JQJ was a bad kid or lazy or whatever.  For all we know, the UT staff could’ve screwed him.  My whole reason for starting the dialogue was saying that playing time and failure is blamed on medical staffs.  

    Not to derail the thread anymore but I’m sure the way herman treated players, Card coming in a tad more polished and him having to rehab led to his transfer. The rest of it is most likely bullshit so it doesn’t appear that he’s afraid of competing for his spot for the first time in his life.

    This is a good take.

    A good play caller can't make an offensive lineman better,  but he can sure enough hide some of his deficiencies. 

    We have a great play caller coupled with a really good OL coach. I’m not saying we start dominating the trenches by any means but our OL play will be improved. That’s good for at least a few wins all by itself me thinks.

    this is such a dumb line of reasoning. If Day can get production and a first round draft pick out of a lazy, arrogant headcase like Haskins, then it shows he’s a good coach. Haskins not succeeding in the NFL won’t hurt Day. If anything, it just shows he’s a good coach. Same thing with Scipio’s article on Sark. Getting the most out of bad QBs and getting them drafted higher than they should be is not a bad sign for a coach and it won’t hurt recruiting, because Day can still show that his last toe QBs are first round picks. How they develop in the NFL has little to do with Day. 

    Imagine what Day would do with his first toe QB? Is Ewers a big toe kinda qb? I’ll hang up and listen.

    I don't believe we are everyone's big game. It's just something Mack brainwashed our fans into thinking and has been used by coaches ever since. We are not Bama. We don't win 12+ games year in and year out, so why should we be Iowa State or Maryland's big game? Having said that I do believe we are big games for other in-state schools because of bragging rights.

    After what Vince did to Michigan and USC in those rose bowls you can bet your ass they will hate us for 30 years. Those were two of their best teams they have assembled in a long time and we ruined their seasons lol.

    If you listen to some of our resident ohio state fans, meyer thinks of nothing but ohio.

    Every day, in every decision he makes, he considers his love for ohio and his Ohio State legacy above all else.

    Even above $50+ million in personal wealth and the opportunity for unparalleled success in the field to which he's dedicated his life, he values his perception in the hearts and minds of Ohio State fans.

    He’s undefeated against Michigan man, what else matters? If he completely derails in Florida it’s all a master plan to make his Ohio state resume even better. andy dwyer i have no idea what im doing GIF

    He’s getting $12 Million a year now, isn’t he?

    It’s not just about recruiting against tOSU. It could be about playing them. And maybe beating them. He’s Buckeye royalty. He’s on Mt. Rushmore alongside Paul Brown, Woody Hayes, and Jim Tressel. He’s the only Buckeye coach to finish with an undefeated record against that team up north. That’s HUGE. For Urban, coaching the Buckeyes was the pinnacle of college coaching and he established a legacy that’s unmatched in the history of the rivalry.

    Back during the season, when there was speculation about whether or not Urban would go back to coaching, some in the Columbus sports media were suggesting that Urban wouldn’t want to coach in college because it could take away from his legacy at tOSU. I think they were probably right. And like he said in that interview, he never came close to taking another college job. Win or lose in the NFL, it won’t affect his standing at the school he grew up rooting for and where he got his coaching start. 

    I’m not following your logic completely here but I’ll try really really hard. Meyer put in all that work to win a ton of football games, couple of titles, went through all that scandal so he could be on the Mt. Rushmore of ohio state coaches? His desire to be great ended by being undefeated against some of the more terrible performing Michigan teams and the thought of having to beat ohio state in a playoff game was to much to bear. That doesn’t jive with the maniacal psycho hell bent on winning at whatever cost. If dabo wins a few more titles while saban racks up a couple more nobody will even remember Meyer in 10 years. I don’t understand man, sorry. If he accepted and wins a title at Texas then he’s on THE mt Rushmore of all of college football.

    i have absolutely no idea what is getting you guys so riled up, or exactly what hill it is that i'm dying on (the one where i roll my eyes at comparing Sam Ehlinger to Dak Prescott i guess?), but don't let that stop you from being uber dramatic towards every single post that i make- which, btw is hilariously ironic. 

    Comparing Sam to Dak is just football talk man. His size, work ethic, demeanor etc. Nobody is saying he’s going to become the next 5k yard passer or a pro bowler lol. They do this shit every year with a hundred different kids. Calm the fuck down. Mark Ingram reminded people of emitt smith for fucks sake. You think Sam is just an average QB and that’s fine. I’m pretty certain he won’t be drafted 199th then go on to win 7 Super Bowls but which Michigan fan called that crazy shit happening. Did you think baker mayfield would take the browns to the playoffs?
