  1. Checks to the refs must have been HUGE
  2. Haha I’ve been thinking the same thing all game
  3. I thought Coombs should have been replaced last year. If this shit continues, he definitely will be
  4. Yeah, agreed. Olave just didn’t climb and get it
  5. Man all you need to negative recruit A&M is show tape of Dylan Wright doing more at Minny as a WR than he ever did at A&M
  6. Lol, must have hit a nerve given you responded to this but to none of the straight up “Stroud sucks” comments
  7. Stroud can’t throw for shit longer than 10 yards
  8. Damn, Garett Wilson got his stool forcibly ejected
  9. I agree on the experience that Minnesota has and that Stroud is going to severely limit the tOSU offense (relative to Fields as he seems best throwing screens/underneath). I also agree that Coombs is a shitty DC and that it is shocking that he is still perceived to be good after he regularly marched out his defense in very poor matchups. However, I don’t think Minnesota has been particularly dynamic in scheming its offense in the past so I’m just worried they won’t be able to take advantage of this.
  10. Lol if he’s 19’6” tall and 260lbs, that weight is spread over so much volume that this man would get ripped or snapped in half by Coburn rushing
  11. No pessimism, I just want the Kool Aid injected into my veins. I’m like an addict, man. They get me every season with the hype. We may have gotten disappointed for the last ten years but I’ll buy into the two of the best play callers in CFB elevating this team. Might get heartbroken again but I’ll take it every year.
  12. When is the simulated game today? I really wanna hear about how Hudson is Aaron Rodgers, Moore is Devonta Smith, Bijan is Reggie Bush, Keondre is Aaron Donald, and how we’re winning the B12, the CFP, the Super Bowl, the Heisman, and the draft.
  13. Clearly BOMC to shutdown ULaLa practice and make them underprepared for Texas. Can’t wait for the weather excuses in a week when we kick their ass.
  14. I guess it’s not super surprising that the coach who was known to be a witchy recruiter and got hit with recruiting sanctions turns out to be a good recruiter.
  15. Makes sense. Kind of hard to simulate a game with no simulated starting QB.
  16. With the exception of old man Jack Coan, pretty cool to see the best guys from the 2020 high school class getting their shot at the top programs at the same time. Will be an interesting experiment in talent/ranking vs. development.
  17. Well he’s quoting the Athletic and they don’t seem to have put out anything yet
  18. If I had to guess, we probably played a lot more vanilla on defense in terms of alignment, rushing, etc. to give the offense some confidence after the bloodbath last week.
  19. I totally agree. I think ULaLa, Arky, and Rice will be easy peasy (even if the first two it’s just because Bijan/Roschon/Keilan run for like 400 yds on their shitty run defenses) and then TCU will be the first real game. Just hope by then that whoever the starter is has experienced enough live fire to have their shit together. And that the receivers gain more confidence. ULaLa actually could be a decent rest of the receivers as they have some decent guys in the secondary (so we can figure out if our secondary is just nails or if our receivers actually just suck ass).
  20. Very cool - seems like they got the same guys who manage it for the NFL to manage UT’s program.
  21. Based on practice reports, wouldn’t be surprised if Pearson starts at punter to keep Dicker fresh.
  22. I mean the reality is that we were ranked 13th in SP+ Offense with absolutely shittastic scheming and a possibly similar to slightly better WR corps. Assuming Sark’s scheming neutralizes losing Sam for one of our two candidates and Bijan is actually unleashed, I’m willing to bet we are ranked in the top 20 this season, if not the top 10 in offense. We were ranked 34th in SP+ Defense. If Kwiatkowski can get us into the top 20 I will be very happy, and I think we actually have a lot of upside to that if things really gel (maybe even top 10 considering how good of a defensive playcaller he is and the experience on our defense). If the above both pan out, I really struggle to see how we don’t win every game on our schedule with the exception of Oklahoma and Iowa State (because away game and they also return a ton of people). 10-2 is the floor and I actually don’t think it’s impossible we go undefeated.
