  1. They know the Texas roster. I can't name 10 players on their roster
  2. What in the blue hell happened to chin pubes hair? He was at Josh Pates wedding
  3. He's a clueless fucker. That'll be $16.88 please
  4. The annual Liucci Sunshine on the offense . Can we have someone, maybe the Rogue Shop can do this, point out to me when my hair gets that little rat tail coming out, like I had during the entire Bucky McMillan interview? My hair was coming out of the back of the hat, and it was a tuft of hair popping out. Marcel Reed has come a long way. He looks so comfortable. He's getting it out quick and getting into less trouble. Only the games will tell, but I still want to see deadly accuracy down the field. I like a guy who can run and create so many problems, and you can give up a little bit in terms of being a passer. Some guys can't throw as accurately as others, but because they can run so well, they're still weapons. Jalen Hurts is like that. Sometimes, Josh Allen is like that. My issue with Reed last year was he was spraying it around beyond 10-15 yards, and it was hit or miss. You have to square that away because you have to have the consistent big-play element. The throw from Reed to Noah Thomas against Auburn, it’s about if he can do that consistently with A&M's running game, Reed's ability to run and with Collin Klein drawing things up to get rid of the ball quickly. A&M is going to miss Thomas, by the way. Watching these receivers, it's a better receiving corps. If Thomas' decision doesn't work out for him at Georgia, it's going to be a disastrous one for him and A&M. I didn't like that move after his best year here. A&M will try to go get somebody else, potentially in this upcoming portal window. Jerome Myles is an interesting guy. Looking at this receiver unit, I see a lot of speed, but I don't see much size. They're going to be little at receiver. KC Concepcion is muscled up, but he's not tall. Mario Craver is small, but he's very fast. Ashton Bethel-Roman is slight and skinny, but he's very, very fast. Concepcion is explosive as hell. Terry Bussey has missed some practices. You'll have Bussey, Concepcion and Craver, who has a different gear. Bethel-Roman is the same way. Izaiah Williams has made some catches lately. I would throw in Amari Niblack because he's a weapon that is called a tight end, but he's going to be a hybrid tight end-receiver. Damn, he looks good physically and catching the ball, getting upfield. I don't know what was going on at Texas other than him being behind Gunnar Helm, who was one of the best tight ends in the country. Maybe it's that Holmon Wiggins is his guy. That group of pass-catchers will be a big step up in terms of speed, quickness and play-making ability. The only matchup problem I see is potentially Niblack. However, their speed is scary. Maybe Myles can be a matchup problem when he gets here. He's got good size and runs a 4.10 40-yard dash. He's coming off an ACL injury suffered in October, but he should come in running and playing. You trust true freshmen when they're here in the spring, and you would've loved to have him here in January. This is going to be a fast group of receivers. As a unit, the tight ends might be the most improved group on the roster this year. Just the depth and physicality of the group. If you count Niblack, you have a true hybrid receiver. You've got a guy who can make big catches up the seem in Theo Melin Öhrström. You’ve got Nate Boerkircher, Micah Riley, and Eric Karner is here. I like that room, and you have a true freshman who, if you just looked at Kiotti Armstrong, you'd go, "What round is he going in?" It's a nice group of tight ends, and there's a lot of physicality there. Boerkircher could be a sleeper portal pickup that benefits you a lot more than people realize just from what he might do for you in the running game. Offensively, we've talked a lot about this offensive line. We know what they have coming back. We know what they have with the experience. They've been good this spring. The defense had a really nice scrimmage last week. I did a write-up. It was the offense. We'll do defense later. We'll talk defense maybe next week. I think the offensive line is going to be strong. I think the running game is going to be potent. I think they're better at receiver, but I wish they had size. That concerns me. They don't have this big outside threat, and that's where losing Thomas hurts. So much of this is going to be Reed's development and his leap. He has to. He did some nice things last year, but he wasn't close to good enough for A&M to win 10 games, or even nine, on that schedule. To get to 10 and in the playoff or nine and show noteworthy improvement, Reed has to make a big leap. That's understandable. I believe he can. I believe he will, but he has to do it. When you see the great plays, the running ability and the instincts, you realize what that could look like when he puts it all together. It's a lot on him, but shame on you for letting everyone get a glimpse of how good you can play because now you have to do it consistently. It's a high bar, but you're not winning in this league unless you have a top-five quarterback in this conference
