  1. Are we allowed to use phrases such as "Glorly Hole Goon?", or is that just for aggy?
  2. Kind of. Stoops only has 3 more wins over Mack with a 9-6 record, but those blowouts made it seems so, so much worse. More like 16-3 record. I think the only time I can remember a Texas team under Brown absolutely dominating a Stoops team was 2005. That's it. Outside of that, it was within 1-2 TD's for us, at most. For them, the scores were more like the difference in looks between Bella Ramsey and Adriana Lima. I'll also add this - of those 9 wins, four were blowouts to the tune of 2000: 49 pts 2003: 52 pts 2011: 38 pts 2012: 42 pts Not to mention motherfucker lost five in a row 2000-04. Abysmal. Abasement. To add insult to injury, Strong and Herman were 2-6 against them.
  3. Needs more decay and rigor mortis, and I don't see kids anywhere. Terrible accuracy. 0/10 would not hang on fridge.
  4. Ted Bundy was slightly more into necrophilia than Gary Ridgeway by comparison. They're still going to be the most dangerous defense we play outside of Ohio State (whom I don't want to count because a. It was game one and Arch looked like he was throwing the ball with a hook for a hand, and b. See 'A'.). Obviously you know this. There's a reason we're the underdogs again, and it's not because it's being played at Sanford stadium or they're higher ranked, it's because Kirby owns Sark like Stoops owned Mack. If our OL looks like a clown show with house shoes dipped in WD-40 on an ice skating rink and can't give Arch more time than to give him a microscopic view of their turf, and end up taking a beat down from a team that a coach-less Florida took the wire, the hammering from the media will make a deaf kid singing Whitney Houston look like Ashley Simpson at a karaoke. We simply cannot afford to look incompetent after beating two formerly top 10 ranked teams (where we viewed them is irrelevant, it's just what the polls had them at). Sark has to beat Kirby at this point in his five seasons. If we go 0-3 against that queef smelling scat fetishist, after now that he's 0-2 against a guy who people should be refreshing the sex offenders registry to see if he's on it yet... There should be no reason at this juncture in his career he should be losing games to teams with equal talent. At worst, he should have one win over him without Saban's hand holding. I don't want to be an absurdist, but it'll start to feel a lot like James Franklin vs Ohio State, or Ryan Day vs Michigan (minus the NC). The Clemson win looks laughable at this point now, and don't get me started on ASU. Alabama was a lifetime ago right now. Great win, but hanging on to that hardware is beginning to look at lot like aggy printing cups over their win again LSU in 2018.
  5. Let me help. Here in hell, friendship is mandatory, complaints optional.
  6. It would be a real shame, wouldn't it?
  7. I'm convinced the aggies are Darwinian inevitability in real time. "You see that roller-coaster over there? It's been crashing for 86 years and counting!"
  8. At first I was like, this guy post on Surly, he's clearly a moron, but now I'm convinced you can actually think, and you're not a lawyer, so your neurons are firing as they should, and not lacking cognitive delays.
  9. We aren't losing to fucking aggy! Holy shit! They're fool's gold and have played literally a joke of a schedule. We will absolutely face-fuck them in DKR. Exactly this. Georgia has talent. Gravity still exists. Same as it ever were. People keep thinking this is 2021-22 Georgia and it's just not. They're just a talented team that can be beat. If we're still clicking, we're putting points on the board, and our D is getting better, and both Taaffe and Mcdonald will be back. The only issue is will Sark try to pound Wisner, or will he wisen up and use Baxter? We have to establish a run game. Stockton is average, and their WR's are hot or cold. Their RBs are really good, but we have the D-line to stop the run. We have the LBs and DEs to make his life an nightmare. If Wingo is back, we also still have Moseley, Moore, McCutcheon, Jagger, and TE'S Washington, Endries, and maybe Sark/Banks will finally utilize Townsend and Terry in some ways to throw off Georgia.
  10. That's...actually pretty genius. Dude, that place would be printing money.
  11. It's like their toll roads have a data breach and the ransom was paid in potholes.
  12. See, this is where you lost me. I've been to that shit hole state many times, so what is it that they do with the money, because it sure as shit isn't going towards their highways. Nowhere, and I mean absolutely nowhere, including Mississippi and the poorest parts of New Mexico, have worse roads than all of Louisiana. Like, not even close. I mean, holy mother of God, how can an entire state's highways and roads be that broken and still call itself part of the developed world?
  13. just like clockwork, I expect gravity to still exist.
  14. Yes, that too. It's pretty unbelievable, even if we say Flood is a retread or whatever, you don't just see that and think 'yeah, if we're wanting to contend for anything, we should probably start the guy who doesn't understand the basics'. Hopefully, and fingers crossed, we have found our starting five and they stay healthy. We can get into the recruiting, but that's just beating a dead sooner at this point. It's obvious we need a new OL coach, and we can't keep using the excuse every 3 years that we're young. With the portal, no team in the SEC/B1G should ever be "young", unless that's the QB. That and LB/S are the three you can't use that excuse on due to them being the heart of both offense and defense.
  15. I agree with all of this. 20 snaps at best. Great tackler, slow af, gets picked on as a senior - terrible combo. We need someone out of Black/Phillips/Wilson to separate themselves, and I would prefer that to be Black at this time. Also, yeah, we are disasterously generous with our lack of DB/S in the room, and we only have 2 CB's and a S committed. I imagine they'll go to the portal, but honestly, it's past time we should be hitting the portal for DB's. We should have enough, and that's a failure on the defensive as a whole. But whatever. Maybe we'll land another Mukuba or someone.
  16. I remember that!!! He said they were like works of art and everyone was paying that kid 😂😂😂
  17. What's even weirder, or possibly worse, is that he was somehow starting ahead of Barron as a freshman. Like, wut? I know it took Barron a few years to get to where he is, but Guilbeau has remained consistently mediocre. The move to CB is especially dumb. He doesn't have the speed or instincts to even play the position. You can't look at me and tell me he's better than Kobe Black. Not a chance. I saw Black and he could hold his man for most of the time, even if the little we've seen of him, he's still running side by side, as a 6'2 200lbs DB. I don't expect Kade Phillips or Caleb Chester (especially right now, or even for another 2 years) to take over, but where is Santana Wilson? Roberson? Mack? Guilbeau, and it may be due to him having torn his ACL (just look at the speed Baxter has lost) being the reason for his struggles, but even if that's the case, he doesn't have the elite traits to make up for his lost speed (Baxter can due to his block and pass catching). So yeah, I do lay the blame for this catastrophe at the feet of Akina and mostly Orphey, since that's his position, not Akina's. Now Akina without Taaffe and Mcdonald is an avolanche of diarrhea. Maybe once Filsaime grows up, Jonah Williams gets a year older, Zelus Hicks gets older, or really any of our frosh or RS-FR get older they'll look more competent with his coaching, but I just don't think he has it. I expected JJ-R to to play more, but it's like Orphey/Akina have no idea how to utilize any of the pieces. I get not all guys work out, but give me a break. I've seen JJ-R play, and he's not some scrub. He wasn't lighting the world on fire as frosh, but he saw enough playing time when Williams went down that we got to see him actually be used properly with Gideon's help. How in the absolute fuck do you not have a guy covering the entire left side of the field for that long pass for a TD? Not a single safety outside of Derek Williams was even in the general vicinity, and that's only because he's a FS. Guilbeau got absolutely torched with no help whatsoever, which is on both Akina and Orphey.
  18. It's just not gonna happen for him. It's just not. He was a horrible recruiting miss for Flood. We were all enamored with the "big human" bullshit, but if you go back and watch him, he literally should have been a 2* playing G5 or FCS. He's like bad, bad. There is no ceiling for him, just floor. Nothing against the kid personally, but he needs to be recruited over immediately and should probably transfer after next year when he gets his degree (I don't ever want a player to transfer from Texas without their degree). But yeah, don't expect any sort of miracle with Stroh. I believe it was against Florida where I specifically watched him, and he was literally moving his feet like they teach you in junior high. It was weird as hell. It was like looking at someone who just learned the basics, and I was never a lineman. I don't know if you have ever watched him, but go back to that game and just watch his feet and moving. It looked like he was slowly doing an agility ladder drill, but in sow motion and in just one spot. He couldn't get his mam to move back and all you can see, and now will forever see after you witness it for yourself, the same thing. Think of the agility ladder drill, but in one spot and unable to move what can only be described in front of him as an immovable object, because he either lacks strength or he doesn't know where to properly push.
  19. No, I believe Stroh is a RS-SO.
  20. And he got even bigger in the NFL. Their weight and conditioning in the pros moves around your muscles differently than what they do in college due to it being 265 days a year of training if they're smart. They only have so much time in college, obviously. Michael Griffin was pretty jacked in college, but once he was put in an NFL S/C, he looked insane as a pro. Same for Earl Thomas, who as a RS-SO and a rookie, was lanky af, but he got jacked.
  21. What do mean "bigger"? I'm honestly asking because Parson's is 250lbs of solid muscle, while Simmons is 240 and still filling out. Once Simmons gets to the league, yeah, I expect him to probably get closer to Myles Garrett in weight (not quite 270, but closer to 260-ish). He's a big kid, but if you look at him and look at Parson's, there's just a massive difference in weight and frame. But like I said, he'll be bigger once he gets into an NFL weight and conditioning program.
  22. Personally, as a fan of CBB as much as CFB and CBBaseball, I can can find a game. Yeah, I won't disagree that the game has changed largely for worst since the G-league came into existence, but now that those guys can return to college I think it will pick up again. I still remember when they took away the privilege for kids to jump straight to the NBA (thank God because Durant wouldn't be a legend here otherwise), and it caused people to complain because of of one and dones being a revolving door, but people adjusted years later and it got great. Same for the transfer portal. I'm jealous both UF and UConn have won NC's because of the portal, but I'm hoping at some point we can get to there. Florida was just like us until Billy Donovan, so it can happen, and the same with Villanova before Jay Wright. We can get there, it just takes an actual intelligent coach, good recruiting, now good portal usage, and most of all, luck. This is just how I see it, personally. I still love it. Got to watch our women's team last night, tonight we get to see how Miller and co do against Duke (win or lose, I'm glad we're not pussies who are afraid to schedule anyone in any invitational). The Florida/Arizona game last night was awesome to watch. Seeing Zona beat UF was not something I expected, which is what's (this is just my personal opinion) better about CBB than CFB- you get to see way more upsets, you get so many more games, and it falls perfectly in-between CFB and baseball, and extends into March-early April. Outside of really good match ups right now, CBB is better. Had LSU held up its end of the bargain, Saturday night Bama/LSU game would have been epic, now it's just meh. We're on a bye, and the tech/BYU game is dumbfuckingly at 11AM (absolutely abominable, imo. Should be a night game instead of the Bama-LSU dreg game now). Plus Saturday we get to see Texas men's CBB at 2pm, and switch between that and the Oregon-Iowa game, then if you don't want to watch the Bama nut over the face against the morons, or ND-Navy (it's tradition, so I'll be flipping back and forth), you can catch the Mich St vs Arky CBB game (love watching Izzo go to work, and Calipari at Arky now is...interesting). If you want to stay up late, you can catch Gonzaga take on ou in CBB at 9:300pm, instead of watching literally the dregs of CFB on the West Coast play. Friday we have our women's team taking on #24 Richmond at 7PM. So as you can see, to me, I think it's just perfectly set up. I understand why some people don't like it or enjoy CBB anymore, I do. But you (not you, specifically) kind of have to move with the ebbs and flows of sports in the world these days. We went from zero NIL and bitching about the BCS just 10 years ago, to bitching about the CFP selection, and now we're 4 years into bitching about NIL. Some things will never change, and that's bitching about literally anything.
  23. This, exactly. We were wondering if he was having a soph slump. Nope. Dude was just getting warmed up and did it at the right time. Had he been doing what he's doing right now, he would have probably 15-16 sacks, but it's moot at this point. I'm just glad he's back to his old form. We better enjoy he and Ant Hill for the rest of the season and Simmons next,because they're top 5-10 picks with absolute certainty. Hopefully Atkinson can come in and make an impact like Hill day 1.
