    Didn’t the FCC stop them from merging in the 2000s?

    I don't see how they can stop it this time.. Sirius and XM radio merged together years ago because of the same thing.  I actually enjoyed Direct TV and the audience channel it had, but the signal and tall trees around my home/neighboorhood here in VA didn't get along.

  2. I'm for Texas eventually starting it's own app for all sporting events, hopefully they will begin to show TXHSFB games/playoffs on it too.  ESPN plus and LHN have been streaming fine for me while watching live boxing and the Longhorn football games. I have LHN through verizon Fios however it is not available in HD.  So I watch it through the ESPN app (from my ps4).  Texas (and the Big 12) will rake it in for it's first and second tier games regardless.  It would be cool for them to start it's own app for third tier, but offer much more than what the LHN content currently carries

    In the McGowan reddit thread there was some discussion about who OU's remaining silents were. People seem to think 2 of the 5 were McGowan and Major Burns, who then committed to LSU. That leaves 3 remaining. They think one of them is a defensive player, maybe Antonio Doyle.

    As long as it isn't Washington

    JQJ dropped 33 spots and Chris Thompson dropped 162 spots.  Bryson Washington dropped a bunch as well.  Parr not in top 250 anymore.

    Jahari Rogers is now #189

    Majors moved up 53 spots and Alford made a big jump.

    Jaylon Jones dropped 21 spots.

    Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head.

    wow

    I could see it in a goal line package. Herman probably doesn't want to remove Sam otherwise because it takes away the ability to go hurry-up after a 3rd/4th-down conversion.

    Short yardage situations? Offensively we won't see 3rd downs.. too many 60 yd plays for TD's

    Watson was just a generally terrible OC. Beck is pretty good at other aspects of being an OC, but he's a god awful playcaller. 

    Watson would put together a BEAUTIFUL opening script of plays to begin games, however after that script was done, it was a shit show.

    Ohio State is currently trending and are arguably the favorite, but it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up picking Miami, Texas, USC, Ohio State, Michigan, Missouri, or Illinois 

    We should go all in on Achane instead of messing around with this one 

    I don't think Achane comes here even if we push.  From his quotes I read on an update here not too long ago.. he seemed locked in on the sec sell

    Who are they taking at QB this class?  I see only 5 offers out and the only one uncommitted is Chandler Morris.

    Don't you understand that Jimbo specializes in finding diamonds in the rough?? Once he finds what he wants, he gets it. That's what 75 mil gets, you tsip t-shirt fan!!

    Actually, dual sport athletes who participate in track and football, have a decently high success rate. Just saw a couple articles about it recently, I’ll try and find one. 

     

    Here’s 1: https://www.trackingfootball.com/blog/high-school-track-field-athletes-at-2016-nfl-combine/

     

    Here’s 2, mentioning our very own, Jamaal Charles: https://www.americanfootballinternational.com/track-speed-translates-football-speed/

    Thanks for this!

  10. I've always been high on Lewis, but seeing his track videos this spring made me a real believer that he was in no way just an extra for this class.  I know that track running doesn't equal stud on the field, but I want to believe.

    They'll just find another 3* scrub from Georgia or Mississippi that can barely complete 50% of his passes and say he's underrated / should be a 4* / "trust Jimbo " and a Looch take of how Georgia or Bama' really, really wanted him.

    SEC type QB..needs polishing but will be great, 2022 here we come!
