  1. I don't care who is behind the OL, Flood is still the guy recruiting the 3* scrubs (aside from a literal hand full) instead of the 4/5* that we should be getting. We aren't fucking tech. Someone has to be held accountable. Banks and Williams fell into our laps because Cristobal left Oregon, we should be sending him a gift basket. Campbell is the the only guy who has looked decent. Everyone else, so far, have grades of 65 all the way down to 30, and a 0.00 somehow. Banks, Majors, and Williams are gone, and we are abysmal. They made a panic move putting Brooks in for Stroh after Napier was whipping our asses instead of putting in a mean mf'er like Neto, or even a guy like Kibble who is a RS-FR who plays G, and we were all told Flood likes to play around with his line to see who can fits well and where, and yet they panic, and instead of putting in a natural G, it's nope, let's throw another tackle in there to make 3 tackles and 4 Guards (Hutson and Robertson are not centers no matter how badly whomever is behind the scenes wants them to be). It literally took 4 games before the coaches realized that Stroh was beyond abominable. I don't care about Hayden Connor, he wouldn't make a difference on this year's team. So if Flood isn't driving the bus regarding blocking, he's still the guy recruiting. He literally recruited and signed Stroh. Possibly the worst lineman we've ever had. Go look at our roster, we have ten three stars and four/five (depending on service) mostly 4 stars (Neto 4*- doesn't play for whatever reason RS-SO; Campbell 5*- SR; Baker 4/5* - RS-FR; Chatman 4* - injured RS-SO. That's it. That's the list of anyone above 3*). Here is a list of 3 stars that have played, and only 1 has shown the ability to block -. Trevor Goosby RS-SO (average to below average this year with an overall grade through 8 games of 61.7). He's basically our only 3* that's worth a shit. Some service grades him at an 81 (doubt), another at 75 (reasonable), but still overall he's a 61. Maybe it's his fingers hand issues, because he looked phenomenal late year when Banks was out, but so did Arch for Quinn 🤷‍♂️ grades out as a backup, but I also put in the 71 and he's starter level. Connor Stroh RS-SO as a comparison has a grade of 51.7 - considered "replaceable" per PFF Hutson grades SR out at 55 on both blocking and pass pro - considered "replaceable" Connor Robertson RS-JR grades out at a 33 - considered "very poor at everything and replaceable" Our true C is sitting on the bench, just like our 5* WR's and other play makers. Just go take a gander at how shitty we've recruited at the OL position alone. So we have a guy recruiting these mid to below average players, and apparently someone else driving the bus? I don't care who is doing what with this position, they should be fired the day after 8/30 Anyone on here excited about a Jackson Christian, Devin Coleman, Jordan Coleman, Andre Cojoe, Payton Kirkland already transferred and is at his 4th school, more Connor Stroh, Malik Ago transferred, Connor Robertson? 4 players are still here from the 2022 class - Campbell, Neto, Hutson, Robertson It will take at minimun 2 years to get an above average offensive line if we hire someone who can recruit and develop, because a group of Kelvin Banks ain't walking through that door. So who's ready to see some 3* Max Wright, baby? 3* Nick Robertson (underrated) But we do have John Turntine III, who I hope pans out. 247 had an article about how badly we evaluated and missed on OL and basically someone didn't want to make an effort, so they settled on what you see every Saturday. I don't have a sub, so let me know if you want me to link it here.
  2. Harlem Berry and Trenton Henderson. We came in second with both recruitment. Time for Scott and Sark to make up for their portal RB fuck up and get on the phone with Berry. Henderson visited Texas twice before committing to LSU, so we are the perceived frontrunner for him per OTF, I believe. Jabari Mack is option #2 after Lott.
  3. He and Bobby Layne were just built different. Same with Houston Street. I will never look at this guy and not think of Hostel. He plays overzealous psychopath almost too well.
  4. I wonder if Harlem Berry looks at our RB room and says to himself he can start right away just a state over in Burnt Orange and White. He would be a massive upgrade over what we've been trotting out. If Chad Scott isn't working the phones with this kid, he's a moron. We have a chance to make up for Sark and Choice fucking off about a transfer like Justice Haynes and Ahmad Hardy. We have a do-over, so if I were them I would try my hardest not to fuck that up. Yes, we have Derek Cooper coming in (I hope), but we need better talent to help support them both. And let's hope we get a new o-line coach who knows how to recruit above 3* and actively recruits other than just a "big human", but a big human who is actually good.
  5. Bro, with as many hits as he's taken, he ain't making it to 40. See Doug "Muscle Hamster/Douggernaut" Martin, sadly. I imagine Cam will probably have advanced CTE by age 32. I'm not kidding.
  6. Believe it or not, but he is a college graduate. He went to LSU. Also, I predict pain from Ant Hill, Simmons, Ty'Anothny Smith, and Lefau.
  7. Why does he resemble Nathan Fillion there?
  8. Wow. I can't believe I made it to the end of this thread for the day. I can't wait to see 54 new pages by 8am. This thread has caused me to tap out on reading this evening. That's enough internet for the day.
  9. Damnit. I should change my hame to Donkey Show Lurker.
  10. You're in purgatory, bud.
  11. That's a brown eye
  12. Well she does work in hydraulics
  13. No, that was me who mentioned the stats, but I also said that Simmons could get to 10+ sacks by the end of the year, and I mentioned that his tackles were lower because he's being dropped Into coverage. As for Hill, yeah I forgot about the 16 games, so that's on me and I'll own it. I went back and I just looked at solo tackles rather than total tackles, and he's got the same amount. I got ahead of myself on that one. As for the sacks, that doesn't bother me much since we have some generational DE's (for whatever reason, ESPN list Lance Jackson as a LB. Lol wut?). Anyway, Lefau is waaaaay higher in tackles at the same time this year, which tells me he's taken a massive next step, and he has a sack, which surprisingly he only had 2 last year, so I expect him to have at least 3 by seaaons ends. You're also correct that him dropping into coverage can help his stock, and I was being selfish just wanting him to line up and go kill the QB, but what I have noticed is he's also being held a lot and it's not being called, and is really pissing me off. Am I going crazy or have to noticed the same?
  14. He says the most off the wall weird shit that makes me laugh. I get it, he's not for everyone, but at least I don't listen to Joe Rogan. And to be honest, I don't listen to podcasts in general very often. I was just scrolling through my Spotify and it showed he was interviewing Kiffin, and that peaked my interest, and it was worth it. Podcasts usually bother me unless they're about serial killers and space/physics and shit like that.
  15. Well, my fingers work faster than my brain, so....maybe? Possibly? We'll just say yes.
  16. What? He's fucking hilarious. And yeah, I realized my phone added an extra 'N', so my bad on that. If you don't like Theo, cool, but he cracks me up. Anyway, it wss a great interview, and it wasn't like typical sophmoric humor ones, either. Dude is a huge CFB fan and went to LSU, so him talking to Kiffin was great. Plus hearing Kiffin actually converse outside of coach speak bullshit was nice to hear. He seems like a genuinely good dude.
  17. God Damnit!!!!!! I don't think my eyes or stomach can handle any more of that shit. They're killing his draft stock, and same with Ant Hill. Why are they going away from their strengths? It doesn't make any sense to me. We, and really any big time program, should not A) ever have to re-build again, and B) try new things that don't work after you've seen 8 games of ut until the very end when they finally allow Simmons to do Simmons things. If they want a spy, just bring Derek Williams or Jelni Mcdonald into the box. You don't need a fucking Edge tk be your spy. Shit, even Littleton. They should be using Simmons to flush Pavia out of hos comfort zone towards to Hill/Lefau, or and if Pavia wants to run up the middle that's where you have Williams/Mcdonald. PK is driving me nuts this year. I love the guy, but experimenting should be done with. That's what SHSU, SJSU, and UTEP were for, not Ohio State and conference play. /rant over
  18. Saban and Freshwater are actual friends. I was listening to Theo Von and Freshwater and he said Saban is a hard ass, but after the season he invited he and his (now ex-wife) and kids over for the holidays, and how he as a person is the kindest man, and the love he has for his grandchildren was something special. He said watching him play with them, building Legos, coloring, playing cars, etc was a side people would never believe until they saw it. He says he's a hard ass because he's a perfectionist, but after he's done chewing your ass on the field after the game, he'll tell you why. He won't apologize, but he will explain to you why he didn't like this or that play call, etc. He said he never throws any of the coaches under the bus and always accepts responsibility. He said he loves him and his kids see him as a grandfather. They still keep in touch.
  19. Yes. This place is where pettiness and misery meet.
  20. Me too. Lefau is ahead of schedule already with is total tackles, and just one shy of his sack, but Ant Hill is way down on all of his stats. Like, unless he doubles his tackles in the next 4 games, adds 5.5 more sacks, and another forced fumble, he will have regressed significantly. This is what bothers me about the D this year, and it goes with dropping Simmons into coverage. It makes no sense. It's not only hindering the defense, but them as well. Simmons would also have to double hi tackles in the next 4 games just to break even, but his sack count is ahead if they allow him to be himself. He has 9 sacks last year, and he has 7 so far. I suspect he'll hit the 10 mark, but I don't expect him to become superman. I don't know what Sellers does or has done with him, but it hasn't been working. We need for our D to play as a unit and let them all do what they're best at.
  21. PM Charles Manson
  22. Honestly, I wasn't sure what Hero Kanu would bring to the table, but he's a fucking hoss. Dude loves him some contact.
  23. Very much so. Go watch his run against Florida. He's (yeah, I know, but this time it's real) sneaky fast.
  24. Are they hauling around Brian Wilson's dead body, too?
  25. Is this Shia Lebouf trying to dress up as Jon Bernthal as a pirate?
