  1. Can someone explain why Terrion Arnold is getting projected in the top ten? Admittedly most of my perception is colored by him getting roasted by Texas’ receivers in September, but he doesn’t seem like an athletic freak and defaulted to pass interference whenever he was getting beat. He wasn’t even the best CB on his own team this past year. Did seem great in run support though.
  2. *failed DC. So really it is just convincing a successful and highly compensated NFL d line coach who hasn’t coached college in 10+ years to come down and cater to the whims of teenagers. Slam dunk imo
  3. You should make posters pay extra or donate to TOF before they can be immune from being made fun of for the dumb takes they post. Kidding aside, exciting stuff and kudos for getting this off the ground.
  4. I know this kid will eventually be a stud. But it was hilarious watching dad-bod Ethan Burke work him over all game for two sacks and multiple holds.
  5. Good reason to post his interception against OU. I was in the stands that day and I swore it was one of the most athletic DB plays I would ever see. Glad that we’re finally recruiting athletes like this again.
  6. Caleb Downs had some quote in his recruitment about how he can’t imagine leaving the south and there are only two coaches he ever considered playing for: Nick Saban and Kirby Smart. With a kiss of death like that I’d be shocked if he didn’t end up at Ohio State.
  7. Agreed. Also, his family food truck is pretty good https://jiveturkeyatx.com/menu-
  8. You’re most likely right, that Sark just won’t rotate no matter what, but the WR room talent level is now orders of magnitude different from prior years. Here are WRs 4-6 from the prior years (ugh): 2021: Kelvontay Dixon, Marcus Washington, Kai Money 2022: Savion Red, Troy Omerie, B. Thompson 2023: Cook (FR), Deandre Moore (FR), Isaiah Neyor (injured). Even in 2023 when the talent level was the highest, it still didn’t even come close to the level of the first string. The backups were either talented but true freshman (Cook & Moore), or inured/pouty Neyor. They couldn’t really justify taking out the starters even when gassed because the talent drop-off and risk was still too high. In 2024, it is not unreasonable to think that the backups might significantly close the talent gap enough to warrant spelling the starters, or in the case of Wingo offer a combination of size + speed that isn’t otherwise present on the roster. There won’t be the same drop off from Golden to Cook than say, Golden to Marcus Washington. Still, if Sark doesn’t rotate next season, the initial instinct would be to worry that otherwise how can you continue to pitch elite high school talent that they will see a path to development and playing time. But if this becomes the new normal, does it even matter?
  9. Looks like a summer guy. So at least that means we’ll get more development time for the sophomores and freshmen in the spring
  10. Security guard needs to tighten up his coverage, way too much of a cushion.
  11. Flood failed in every metric as a head coach. On the field, he took a Greg schiano loaded bowl team and in three years finished with a 1-7 big 10 record. Off the field in 2015, while his players were being arrested for assault, he was arguing with the academic administration trying to keep one of such players eligible. The head coaching histories are not comparable.
  12. Calm down, there’s no real news at the moment. Complaining about and laughing at Tim Brando is infinitely better than the tired masochistic detours this board takes from time to time. Unless you want to relive “borderline erotic” and “Roland Jones” while someone reposts a tweet that Jaggy McJaggerson from Kent State has entered the transfer portal.
  13. I know there is still plenty of time left in the portal window, but does anyone else think they are completely doomed at OL? Not only are there a limited number of quality transfer portal entries at the position, but you have several highly motivated competitors with needs there as well (particularly OU) and a better development story to sell. Even with all of the defections, that DL is loaded though.
  14. Yeah, it is easy to lose sight of this fact given the competition. Sadly, you do stand out positively in this industry when you don’t steal money from charity (OB) or actively undermine the program (FCB).
  15. Would you rank Colin Klein’s 4th down decision in the Texas game this year above or below the decision to invade Russia in the winter?
  16. Curious to see what people think about Peter Luger’s. Just went for the first time and I was shocked by how disappointing it all was. Frankly I thought it was worse than most of the Chicago/Texas steakhouses. However they cooked the steak left a pretty large gray band, and although the quality of the meat was fine it didn’t stand out or blow me away. Combine that with cold rolls and mediocre sides and the total came out to ~$200 a person without factoring in the bottles of wine …I’m sure most people on this board could do better with a trip to central market. Is this normal or am I missing something?
  17. Given Missouri’s renewed program interest from their fans and boosters, it would be really weird for them to let their OC get poached by a conference rival after having their best season in a decade
  18. Maybe it was the alcohol, but I thought the DJ had great comedic timing. Songs that match the player names and appropriate for penalties. Sure you can debate the decision to have a DJ and the directive to blare loud music to keep the casuals engaged, but the execution has been on point.
  19. I completely underestimated the sheer arrogance of these Aggie leaders and how deeply tinted those maroon-colored glasses are. Surely they couldn’t fire their head coach mid season without a plan and multiple contingencies in place? But it looks like they and whatever milquetoast media mouthpieces they fawn over legitimately believed that the head coaches of Oregon, Clemson, and Ohio State would see the majesty, wonder and potential of Aggieland and come running. And the best part of this Stoops debacle is that now they can’t hide their ineptitude from the world. They can’t pick themselves up from the pavement after falling flat on their face to say “oh yeah we meant to do that from the start and we’re not looking back.” I woke up to texts from non-UT friends outside of Texas laughing their ass off. What a time to be alive
  20. Just let it go, it’s not worth it. This is the equivalent of grandma repeatedly trying to bring up political conspiracy theories at an otherwise excellent thanksgiving evening. If you ignore him long enough he’ll tire himself out, wander off, or drink enough Chardonnay to pass out.
