  1. Yeah, that kid isn't flipping. Didn't he sign some contract or something, or is rhat illegal? I remember, albeit vaguely, something happening. Maybe promises?
  2. It was more hyperbolic, but it felt like it. Being down by anything more than 3 pts to Luddite Napier might as well be 4 scores.
  3. They at least have more than one RB that can tote the rock, in Durham and Berry. If nothing else, they can lean on the run game. I do concur about the passing game, and Nuss is not good. He's never been and I'll never understand why he ever got hyped up. Dude has thrown for a paltry 9 TD's with 5 INT'S, which makes Arch Manning look like Peyton in comparison. The only difference being Manning has thrown only 162 passes with a comp % of 66.1, for 1,317 yds, while Nuss has thrown 204 for 1 417 with a comp % of 68.1. A whole 100 yards more, exactly. Totally separate tangent here - I'm as big of a Wisner homer as there is, but he simply cannot keep taking a pounding. He's quite literally our only RB right now. Clark and Simon are both frosh and haven't adjusted to the game, Gibson is gone, and Baxter may be dead for all we know. We literally need Manning to do both our passing and be our second RB.
  4. Just go take a gander at our freshmen IOL and tell me with a straight face they will be good and not below average or even worse, like Stroh, who is a Soph he "evaluated". I wrote a post about our recruits Flood recruited for the interior and almost all of them had offers from the likes of Colorado State, Colorado, USF, Nevada, etc. Not from Bama, Auburn, Michigan, Georgia, Penn State (I think one did from here, but I don't know if it was commitable), etc. It's deeply concerning and saddening.
  5. Yep, I remember. I'm just giving LSU a pass and hope they learn from their mistakes simply because Reed is basically the same player he was last year with better WR's, but he himself hasn't changed. If they can't make adjustments, then Kelly needs to be fired, and so does Baker (I think that's their D coordinator name).
  6. I couldn't agree more. It's annoying af. But yeah, I just can't see Indiana pulling that big of an upset, especially twice in a season. One? Sure, OK. It happens. They're not FCS and they have a dude as a coach. Twice? Eh...not against those jort wearing douche tunnels.
  7. I had to remove UF because it triggers me. Just all of that stupidity on display, I'm not yet ready to get to acceptance. I'm still in the anger and bargaining stages. I can absolutely see them lose to Mizzou. LSU, I dunno. It's Brain Kelly coaching them, and their offense is almost as dire as ours looks. Nuss is so overrated it's astounding. The defense can roll, tho. If Moss is out for LSU, they might be cooked, regardless of Craver/Concepcion. Reed is average, and LSU'S defense is pretty good. They can get to the QB, same with Missouri.
  8. The difference between Moss and Owens is the difference between reading Homer's The Odyssey and Illiad and reading an obituary. Owens is worse than dog shit infected with parvo. I imagine he tried sitting down on a toilet for the first time without being pushed and he pulled his myometrium.
  9. This is where I'm at when seeing him. It looks like (as you pointed out) he's seeing more of the field. It looks as though he's getting more and more comfortable, and/or adjusting to what his o-line is giving him (which is shoveled shit, but we'll see how Robertson does and Brooks continues to do), which hopefully means we get better play for him to go through all of his reads, rather than just his first. That was a huge issue early on.
  10. Agreed. His improv is weirdly a strength, which I'm totally fine with as long as he can keep it up, or we find gold and our line gels and gives him time.
  11. More like Connor Strohng, amirite?
  12. If they even tried this, that field house better watch it's back.
  13. Yeah, me too. Their 1 sack still pisses me off.
  14. Ah, OK. That's where my brain went after you post, but then I started to second guess myself. But yeah, it absolutely could be Ohio State/Indiana, which would be the weirdest fucking CCG I can remember. I think Cignetti is a fantastic coach, but, and again, jmo, Ohio State would beat them, too. The talent-gap is just too wide, unless Cignetti has just some unfathomable game plan with luck introduced. But remember, Oregon beat Ohio State last year, and we saw what happened when they met again. That was with Dillon Gabriel, 1.2k rusher Jordan James, Tez Johnson, a healthy Evan Stewart, Traeshon Holden, TE Terrance Ferguson, 1st rd OL Josh Conerly, Jr., 1st rd DT/DL Derrick Harmon, DL Jamaree Caldwell, S Jeffrey Bassa, DE Jordan Burch, etc. That was an absolute 20 pt beating in Eugene again. Just looking at talent recruiting rankings disparity, fOSU has double the amount of 5* talent than the second leader, which is Oregon at #2 and Penn State at #3. 4* talent it's Penn State, fOSU, Oregon. My point being is that 5*/4* talent makes all the difference (unless your name happens to be James Franklin, which if that's the case, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW $50M LOTTERY WINNINGS), which is why even if the Buckeye play Indiana, I don't think it will be some blowout because of Cignetti, but fOSU will win by 2 TDs. ------------------------------------------- Texas, for whatever reason, is the only team to have held both Jeremiah Smith (6-43), and Carnell Tate (2-59) in check (aside from a blown assignment which gave Tate most of his 2 catches for 59 yards all game with his 40 yd TD. Credit is due where it's due). I don't know if it's just talent meets similar/comparable talent (which I believe Littleton is) regardless of recruiting rankings (we did have Thorpe winner Barron in 2024), but it was Muhammad/frosh Littleton (absolute stud) covering Smith this year, and Kobe Black/Taaffe tasked with covering Tate, scheme, whatever the case. If you haven't gotten to watch Longhorns football, tuck away the name Gaceon Littleton. He'll be our next Thorpe winner before he heads to the first rd.
  15. I was just addressing the sacks, I didn't want to do any more digging on the others, but appreciate you did it for me. Pos rep Well now we know you aren't a Vic sock
  16. Well they don't play each other in conference, so why not? Am I having a brain fart?
  17. Well, you were sort of right, except we were the ones who got the 5 sacks, so...
  18. I'm in total agreement that no one outside of bluebloods or bluebloods adjacents will win it all. The gap will always be wide, no matter how much so and so (pick whatever team with billionaires who love to spend) throws money at the program. I don't even think Oregon will ever win it all in the next 15 years. People are free to disagree, but I just don't see it. They're a really good team, but they have an Ohio State problem, which is much worse than us having a UGA problem due to us and Georgia are similarly situated with recruiting/evaluating/deleopment/coaching (defensively for us atm), whereas Ohio State and Oregon and different due to development and Ohio State just gets better recruits 9/10 times, regardless of what the rankings say. Lanning has only started to "catch up" in rankings since 2023, but it doesn't matter, he has been their HC since 2021. He did win the conference in 2024, he got absolutely demolished, embarrassed in the playoffs. Oregon looked like they didn't even belong, much like SMU, Boise, Tenn, Indiana, and Clemson. I just don't see Lanning winning it all, and some will or can say Sark, too. Maybe I'm biased, but I can see Sark winning it all at some point, as long as he rids himself of Flood for a real o-line coach. Lanning is a weird guy. I'm indifferent to him, tbh. He's corny and shit, but whatever. Anyway, you see he has Dakorian Moore, who is a freak athlete, but there is a wide gap between Jeremiah Smith/Carnell Tate to Dakorian Moore/EvanStewart. There just is. Both Smith and Tate each have 500 yards receiving with Smith having 5 TD's and Tate with 4 TD's with a RS-FR QB, while Moore, who has a junior QB in Moore, has 338 yards and 3 TD's. Then if we get into the RBs, Ohio State is just on a completely different level. They have 3 RB's that they can use, similarly to Henderson and Judkins to put in and beat you with (Bo Jackson and Donaldson without question, and People's isn't a scrub), then you look at Oregon and see one RB with barely vier 259 yards rushing. By comparison, Ohio State has 3 over the 200 mark, with Jackson having 400+, Donaldson 200+, and People's around 207. Defensively tOSU is #1 in scoring D, and 4th overall, whereas Oregon is #8, allowing 250+ ypg. They'll meet in the CCG, and we'll see then, but Ohio State will win that game, imo.
  19. While one can say yes, you did bottle him up on the ground (even though he did have 2 rushing TD's), he caught 6 passes for 117 yards (so I wouldn't say you "bottled him up" overall), you guys played him in Sept, not January of 2025. He only got better and better as he adjusted to year two of FBS football. It's just the natural progression of athletes. He ended the season with 1700 yards @ 5.8 a clip, and 21 TD's on the ground, to go along with 45 catches for 605 yds and 3 TD's. He had 2,300 yards from scrimmage + 24 TD's in 2024/25 What you guys saw on Sept 21 to what we saw on January 1st are Jekyll and Hyde. My apologies, I misread it while working. Speed reading and working do not go hand in hand for me lol.
  20. I am vexed at the Filasame injury. Regarding Hutson, Robertson should be an upgrade because whatever Flood puts out there in the beginning, the second option is always better. The only thing Stroh hurt is the bed he lies on. It's also the only time he's ever done anything laterally at his time in Austin.
  21. Back at you for also knowing who he is, you sick freak.
  22. Well now we need to put them and aggy in a gladatior ring and see who dies first.
