    John Mackovic would be proud of Riley for this one ::

    This guy is an actual answer to the lack of physicality on defense. He's an incredible athlete and while I'm sure he'd succeed at RB or HB, there is no world in which he should be doing anything at OU other than playing LB. 

    McGowan, Pledger, Major, Brooks, Stevenson - the RB room looks really deep and Major is a big powerful runner and a RS FR. I just don't get it. 

    I thought we wanted him as a H-back/TE right?

    Obviously. Taking Myslinski in July is  a general sign of how bad OL recruiting is going. But also Connor has positional flexibility, back when this board thought we were landing errbody, the idea was that Connor could move inside. If we landed two big time tackles he could become a far superior interior take, but we didn’t land shit. And now we’re taking Myslinski.

    Myslinski isn't a bad take compared with James.  I get it, we didn't land Tommy, but isn't Myslinski better on tape than James at C?

    Ole Miss and MSU have better talent than Arkie, but we've passed them up.  I'm very confident about those this year.  Frankly, we should embarrass all three, just considering the talent level, a veteran (although still very underwhelming) QB, Jimbo getting "his guys", and now having coaching shakeups at all of those places.  Will it happen?  Who knows.

    So, they are terrible, you should win convincingly?

    I mean, ESPN not having a recruit page for a guy with Iowa/Wisconsin/Auburn/UCLA offers is a pretty sad indictment of how understaffed their recruiting section is.

    ... or nobody can find a diamond in the rough like Tom!! (Other than Jimbo of course, per Karen)

    Let's fucking go BOMC!! 

    solid offer list.. this is one of my favorite things in recruiting cycles.. seeing unknown players miraculously turn into 4 stars because of TEXAS... all to the detriment of aggys

    Reminds me of the time OB couldn't keep its mouth shut about the Kyler Murray situation.  They've proven over and over that they'll spoil anything if they learn about it beforehand, which just goes to show how little they usually know. 

    I'm not trying to defend Ketch but I always thought he had to tell his subscribers about the Murray trip.. that's why they pay the $9.95 for

    Idk about this. Broughton struggles on the edge, because he's not a real threat to win around the edge. He's already 290 and will get bigger, so he likely needs to spend most of his time on the inside. Collins is an absolute freak and may be able to stay as a threat on the outside. There's a reason most teams dont use 300 lb guys as their DEs on a 4 man line.  You need players who can threaten the edge better.  We'll sacrifice too much pass rush if we use both those guys on the outside. 

    Yep I agree with this.. VB could play some at DE this season but I'd expect him to move inside when he competes for real playing time.  I feel that Collins needs to stay at DE no matter if he gets up to 325 lbs.

    No surprise there. But there’s more than enough talent on campus to win and win big. He just has to coach. If he wins big this year, he’ll be pulling in sick talent for 2022. If he steps in his dick again, he’ll be in his way out. Once you settle in on that, and know he’ll be leaving the cupboard pretty well stocked, the uncertainty becomes easier to stomach. 
     

    our defensive line should be fucking filthy this year. I mean filthy, and 2 deep. We lost a stud WR, but there should be more overall talent at WR than we had on the field at times last season. Eagles, Smith, Whittington and Washington are fiiiilthy. And that’s before we see what we get from Black, Moore, and whoever else. RB is fucking filthy. The only question mark is the oline, honestly. And it’s not if they’ll be deplorable it’s just can they take the next step. 
     

    Unless Yurich is a complete fucking fraud and is Tim Beck level shitty, we should be in plenty good shape. 
     

    Now, do you feel better or do I need to write another sentence with the word filthy in it?

    If we get off to a hot start and beat both LSU and ou.. there will be some flips the staff can get from other schools.

    It's not about playing aggy. It's a PR play. He knows whatever he says, aggy is not going to sign up to play. So he loudly makes sure that everyone, including recruits/parents/coaches/trainers, knows that we offered to play and they're ducking us.

    Well that and we actually would be willing to play them.

    Ignoring the laughable OOC schedules and the fact that the SEC only plays 8 games, to help pad overall win totals... 

    Your rankings look like a guy who didn't watch any football last year, or more likely has a B12 chip on his shoulder (Big Dumpster Fire OMGLOL). You realize that Miss State lost to KSU last year, right? On the field. Took a physical beatdown in doing it. Kansas State would beat the fucking soul out of a Muschamp-led Scar. It's hard to for me to imagine SCar beating anyone in the B12 outside of maybe Kansas. Ole Miss was 4-8 and and lost to Memphis and Cal. yet, you think they'd beat Baylor coming off an 11-3 season where they lost to OU by 3, OU in OT, and UGA? OMG BAYLOL, right? 

     

    *********

     

    Reality: Texas is playing LSU, Bama, UGA, Florida, Arkansas (as well as tOSU and Michigan) in upcoming seasons. It's not hard to point out to kids that Texas isn't afraid of the SEC and the outcomes have shown that not only are they not afraid, Texas is quite capable of beating the dick off SEC teams. The longer the Ags dodge Texas, and make no mistake despite what internet aggy tough guy thinks, the entire college football world sees the Aggies as afraid to play Texas, esp with the other SEC teams having scheduled Texas. (thanks SEC brethren!) -- so the longer the Ags dodge Texas the worse it appears and the more it stands out as a black eye. 

    Oh, I know a lot of aggy posters will go with the old staples "They have more to gain than us." -- or "they need us to validate their schedule". All of which is nonsense. Herman coming back out and saying it again, Texas adding Florida to the schedule - that was recruiting done right out in the open. You think kids in Texas don't want to see the game played? Hint: They do. You think current players don't want to play the game? Hint: They do. You think everyone sees Texas as the team saying "let's fucking go" and aggy as the team that is unwilling/scared? Hint: they do. 

    aggy fan can talk circles around the issue but if you go out and talk to any rabid college football fan from other conferences/teams and see their take, it's going to be "aggy is ducking Texas." 

    you know why? because aggy is ducking Texas.

    Hadn't seen any videos of Fields posted yet - but this is every defensive snap against Washington last year (with Fields identified):

     

    From an article about Fields draft stock:

    https://zonazealots.com/2020/06/16/arizona-football-tony-fields-ii-is-underrated-says-one-nfl-analyst/

    I'm no expert but this tape vs Udub didn't impress me.  I know he brings ton of experience and production.. so I'll leave it to the true analysts.

    That's true.  It would certainly help the winner.  Not sure if the benefits of winning outweigh the costs of losing (putting you guys closer to a playoff spot, for example) to many of our fans, though.

    Benefits?  It's the two largest schools in the State, they played for over a hundred years, it needs to happen again.  It's just bragging rights, we can discuss how much it hindered one of our true CFP berths whenever that actually happens.

    I'm a little torn on the game.  I enjoy rivalry games, and this would definitely be one to get excited for.  More people seem to be against it than for it, though, for a variety of reasons.  We already play too many "good" teams, not wanting to elevate you guys (although the games against LSU have already put you against the conference), potential damaging effects of a loss/no gains from a win, etc.

    Just a bunch of excuses.. neither team has challenged for a CFP spot, it won't hurt the conference record, standings.  Just do it.
