  1. The real answer is if they were superior they would have used Gorilla tape and not duct tape. They're cheap and poor.
  2. Yeah, I'm gonna disagree on that chart, Lou. Stroh is not "baseline competent". He's barely cognitively functioning. I watched him against Florida just to punish myself and when the ball was snapped, all he did was move his legs up and down and then the DT just shoved him aside like he was nothing more than getting in the way of someone trying to get in on a gonzo hooker bang. There was no lateral movement other than their DT doing it for him. All he could do was fall backwards. Literally the worst IOL I've ever seen. He made Tray Allen look like Larry Allen or Will Shields.
  3. That was just the preface, sir.
  4. We'll see if he sticks. It's 2027 and it's retarded to even be taking commits this early, even for us. I hope Epps sticks, but if he doesn't it's not like I'll be surprised. Money may bring kids to commit, but more money will get a kid to decommit, especially if the other team is winning and putting players in the league. I expect and hope this year is an outlier, and Flood is "encouraged" to move on after the season. Same with Banks. It's past time to upgrade.
  5. Maybe just Hüsker Dön't next time
  6. I don't care what Campbell thinks. Buying these players might make them believe they're gonna be Bama, but the reality is they're just dressing up as Auburn for Halloween every cycle without the championships. They'll get 5-7 mostly 4* recruits, with maybe one or two 5*, but the rest will be nothing but 3* filler, so I don't know why anyone thinks Campbell will be making much of a difference just because he's spending their budget on one-two 5* every cycle. Good for them for making the top 25 in recruiting at #23 (one spot ahead of SMU) so far. They have one 5* and four 4* recruits and fourteen 3*. I don't know how many more they plan to take, or if they'll just go portal heavy, but then what about the portal? More money spent. Being a billionaire is great I'm sure, but overspending on a recruit like Ojo who is a project is retarded. 2027 they have one 5*, a top fifty 4*, one top 200 4*, and a 3*. Drops will happen, risers will come, so already spending like that is dumb af. I get it, the tech grads/fans here love Lubbock, but the rest of us who graduated from Texas or are Texas fans and attend games, did it for not just academic reasons, but Austin, which sells itself. This is what Campbell doesn't understand. Most of these recruits don't even know about Lubbock, don't care about Lubbock, or don't want to sign some ridiculous contract binding them to a school and/or team they may not want to be at in the middle of nowhere who play no one, hence why the top 10 teams in recruiting each year have between three to six 5* and fiftenen to twenty 4* with around six 3* on average, and it's always the same teams, with the outlier here or there (aggy). Campbell thinks their money can get them there, but he's being delusional. We know this. Tech fans on this board know it. If they make the playoffs, that's great for them, but once they're seeded against a team stacked with damn near 4/5* talent, they're going to look out of place and get embarrassed. Just like SMU and Boise, and ASU before we started getting players hurt/injured in the game for their "miraculous comeback." The ceiling is the playoffs, not championships, because that will absolutely never happen as long as the Texas', Bama's, Oregon, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Georgia's of the world still exist. But Cam Skataboo was a fucking beast.
  7. Right, and I'm in agreement regarding Georgia and aggy, but that's just a red herring looking away from what Danny Rolling, er I mean the Billy Napier dd to us. It's irrelevant about what we did right or wrong (keeping Stroh in/replacing him with Brooks down 3 scores), we got abused and gutted. Lagway made our DBs look below average, and ran the ball at will. It wasn't a talent issue, it wss a scheming issue, but at the end of the day a complete beating by an inept team is what it is. Do you think any of us want to acknowledge we lost to Billy Napier? Sark or PK? Fuck no. But it happened, and we have to kearn from it. It's not like they were Appalachian State or something, they have plenty of talent. They dumbed down the playbook and got not one, but TWO freshman WRs heavily involved, and they took us behind the woodshed. If Sark has neurons firing per every 15 secs, he should take notes to get OUR talented WRs, TE, etc, other than that 1 pass to McCutcheon, involved to mismatch against other teams. He's making it harder than it should be. He can run an NFL-like organization without all of the difficult bullshit these kids need to learn, which clearly is a problem, especially in the redzone.
  8. I'm definitely not writing him off until he's off campus. Until he hangs them up in college, whether that be due to injuries or he goes to the NFL, he's still in my good graces. I've seen him do some great things (great hands, blocker, runs through tackles), and we've all seen the lows. Every RB with talent has issues, generational or not (and no, I'm not even close to insinuating he's some generational back. That would be Bijan, AD, D. Henry, Bush), but he has talent, he just needs to toughen up, add muscle and strength, get back to being healthy. He's a really solid RB. Fuck the haters. #teamCB4
  9. If he even resembles MJ-D, that's a win on its own. That dude could ball. Great comp on just name/size comparison. Totally forgot about him, even though I was a fan when he played at both UCLA and the Jags.
  10. Seeing ou being so downtrodden and shitty makes my Justice Haynes miss travesty look like we won the golden ticket. Their Offense, and the RB room in particular are so shitty, it makes the ou Van Fleet area of diarrhea look like the Amber Room in St. Catherine's Palace in St. Petersburg, Russia. We at least looked competent in the second half with replacing that walking fecal impaction with Brooks during Sark's dumbassary after being down 3 scores to that mouth breathing luddite, Napier. I sincerely hope and pray Burnt Vaginals gets at least one more year. That's all I want. Just one more year because next season we will be fucking back. This is how we should be feeling seeing them suffer after we wandered the desert for 12 years.
  11. OK. I mean, you are correct since I've only seen highlights and not an actual game. It just fascinates me since I haven't seen a kid his height truly make an impact at the highest of levels (meaning the SEC/B1G big boys). I don't view the Big XII as "big boy" football, so I'm erasing Duece Vaughn, and I do think this kid is Barry Sanders (he's truly and forever will be in a league of his own for all eternity). In your personal opinion, do you personally see him as an every down back in college and play for said big boys? You know more than I do about him, as I'm all speculation.
  12. Dude, we already named two that Sark could have done even the slightest bit of work on, yet decided to let Mizzou and Michigan reap the rewards. No, they don't grow on trees, but in one portal cycle you had TWO he could have gone after since 1) Baxter had multiple knee ligament tears, not even a timetable, and here we are without him (still MIA after first 3 games) 2) Wisner is slow as shit. He's quick, but has zero breakaway speed. 3) Clark, is a freshman recovering from an achilles tear. Came back sooner than expected, looks meh, still catching up to the speed of the game 4) Gibson fumbling every 5 snaps (now gone, anyway) 5) Simon and Stewart (who even knows if Stewart wll be here next year, and he is RSing, anyway) We have one upperclassman who is quick but slow, an upperclassmen made of glass, a frosh recovered from a serious injury of his own with his Achilles, looks mid, and two true frosh, one of which is talented, but runs into his own guys, and the other who is...who knows? Not contributing, that's for sure. So, as a HC, do you A) go look for portal backs that can contribute if not outright start/share carries, or do you B) just tell yourself everything is fine while you're sitting at a table while your mansion burns down around you because the last portal back we got was last minute lost an eye in fall practice. In an extremely rare instance, we had two absolute studs available for our room, and Sark just turned a blind eye. That's beyond criminal. That's not how you manage your roster, and especially a room in dire need of a playmaker. One chance and he fucking stepped on rakes and fell face first into solidified concrete.
  13. Okay. We can move Townsend to DE. It's a 1 v1 comparison of freaky athleticism.
  14. Yeah, he's a stud. I would have been happier if either one, tbh. My fixation on Haynes is purely he's played in the SEC, showed out against SEC competitors, and had an absurd 5.7 ypc playing backup with 7 TD's. That's pretty much it. You could see what he would becone already, whereas Hardy, playing lower-level, looked awesome, but I followed Haynes' recruitment, so I knew a lot more bout him.
  15. Shit, my eyes went blurry and I combined Ole Miss and Toledo. That's my bad. I'll remove it.
  16. I kept on about Justice Haynes, got shot down time and again, and now that you brought up Ahmad Hardy (I believe it was you) we could have easily landed one or the other, and both have breakaway speed, and here we are. Both are tough mf'ers who run through tackles, and neither have fumbling issues. Haynes in particular has never fumbled (at least at the college level). Hardy fumbled once against Bama, and has 5 total in his career. I love Wisner, but he's slow as shit, but quick. We need breakaway speed, and Simon has that, but he doesn't know shit from fuck yet. You can see the talent, but he runs into the back of our own o-line. Hopefully he figures it out. Negligence. Criminal. Laxity. Squandered. Deplorable. A fucking travesty. I am going to die on this fucking hill, and my last words will be "I told all y'all motherfuckers Sark needed to go get Justice Haynes. Fuck the haters." I just...no. I don't want poop on my taint.
  17. Absolutely understand that.
  18. We're not a bad team, good lord. We're an awful team. We should beat Kentucky because their QB is horribad. He's worse than Jackson Arnold as a passer, and runs slower than Mangino and Elko in a race through the Sahara. He's thrown 4 TDs to 3 INTs. All this team has to do is shut down McGowan and year three of different universities Dowdell. Not a single WR has crossed the 174 as a catcher. They're 66th in defensive rate with 2.24 points per drive. We actually have a defense worth a shit, and if Stoops goes full Stoops, which I fully expect, he'll add another 2-3 INTs, or even more. Muhammad, Taaffe, or Littleton should get 1-2. I don't care if Arch has a hand like Jim Abbott, he's still throwing for 300 and at minimum 2 TDs, and Wisner will add at least 1-2 more. This is our layup.
  19. But he wouldn't be able to leave before his final 2 week notice runs out
  20. Interesting. Let's replace a few names and see how they compare
  21. I think we all know where they really end up after showing them off.
  22. Loading up on 2027 before 2026 is done recruiting, late evaluations, flips.
  23. So, let's just take away the carries, I don't care. He's extremely short and stocky, but where would he play? He couldn't hold up in the SEC or B1G. Blue is 5'9 200 and he couldn't run between the tackles because 1) he either couldn't muscle his way, has horrible vision, or both, and 2) was primarily used as a specialist. Callis-Williams is 2-3" shorter than that, weighs the same. What could he even do? Admittedly, I know nothing about his hands, but Silas Bolden is 5'8, but even if you add 10 lbs to his body to make him the same (alleged weight) as Callis-Willaims, he still contributed mininimal outside of P/KO returns. I dunno, I just don't see this kid making any kind of impact at a major P4/P5 school. He isn't Barry Sanders, and I've already listed what kind of RBs major schools recruit these days for obvious reasons. He's too short at 5'7. The last player was Duece Vaughn at 5'6, but again, he was playing in a high school league. I'm just looking for anyone's thoughts on this kid and where he could play both at university and position, and/or how effective he would be.
  24. Gives me UF tossing Hutson around like John Wayne Gacy with those kids he dropped under his floorboards.
