  2. We've never had to play a real opponent like Appalachian State. We will never know what tough football is like.
  3. Considering that the full price of the decision to hire and fire Jimbo will exceed $100m, it's incredible to think about the opportunity costs not only for a&m, but also for the donors. ROI is obviously not be a consideration at all for the aggies. The only thing that makes sense for a&m's next move, based on how they behave, is that they will essentially double down on the next move in a hope to "atone" for their mistakes to make it all worth it (however they define value; there definitely isn't going to be any form of a NPV calc near this decision). I expect a massive budget for the next coach and staff, and massive budget on recruits/transfers, at least in year 1.
  4. Good to see Quinn and Sark understand they in a payday year and act like.
  5. Worst case scenario is that the other school doing this is A&M and this gives them the "for cause" reason to fire Jimbo and get out of that contract.
  6. So the mantra is now "Don't worry about the scholarship numbers, worry about the NIL dollars"
  7. This is an extremely odd photo when you consider how much effort it took to take a photograph and how rare it was to take a photograph in 1915. They had to plan this out and take a lot of time to set up the camera for the shot. With all that effort and time, what did they decide to take a photo of? One man spanking another man. And it isn't like they did this for clicks or likes. Or this was just another photograph in a huge collection of other photographs. This was something they were proud of. Something that defined who they were as cadets. This might have been one of a handful of pictures they could take as a cadet to define their experience, and they wanted it to be this. "We're not weird"
  8. St. Nahlin warned us about taking things for granted. This is what happens. This kind of careless thinking is similar to the reason we almost lost NYC to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man several decades ago.
  9. Or just take the inverse of the Looch 44 and use that as the only rating
  10. So you're saying those highly rated recruiting classes were way over ranked? Got it
  11. Jimbo 2023 - The $90m Death Penalty
  12. This is such a terrible way to look at a game. This essentially reduces every play down to pure luck and focuses only a set number of plays that if gone the other way would have been detrimental to UT. What if UT recovered the inside kick? What if Watts picked off that trick play deep ball to the end zone? What if one of our QB pressures resulted in a sack? Anyone can do this ad nauseam and come up with alternate realities.
  13. Sounds to me like the full playbook (as much as it can with Wright running it) is going to be open. This won't be a vanilla offense/defense like it was against ULM.
  14. I think if they still had Mike Elko calling the D or a slightly better OL (or competent OL coach), I could give them a higher probability of pulling out a win. But these negatives compounded with what sounds like a toxic locker room makes it hard to see a team with average athletic ability losing to A&M.
  15. A sneeze away from a hernia
  16. If the only thing separating the QBs is that Ewers can make the deep passes, then he needs to be the starting QB. We have the receivers who can get separation down field for big plays and we need a QB can make those throws.
  17. We are so close to peak off season when all the 9.95ers talk about is how these young men's bodies are transforming.
  18. I don't think Jimbo cares about that. I think he only cares about stars. Didn't he recruit like 10 OL in one class at FSU?
  19. It's a Benjamin Graham Net-Net stock. There's few puffs of smoke left in the cigarette butt to catch some upside; if there is lightning in a bottle, this thing can take off
  20. I think @RGBIII said something to the effect of "winning in the Evan Stewart recruitment is being the 2nd place team" when he committed to aggie. I think we are seeing that play out.
  21. This board just covered 50+ pages on the best westerns ever made. You're lucky a woman was nominated that was living in a period when it was okay to show a little ankle.
  22. 247 is honestly concerned that if Williams loses weight his wingspan will decrease. No joke, Gabe thinks that if you lose weight then your bones grow shorter. This is the quality of 9.95 on 247.
  23. Not surprised he wishes he was Scott Stapp
