  1. In trying to figure out how they got to 11 schools that think we are rivals, that is the only logical conclusion. Iowa State and K State absolutely revel in beating Texas. I am sure there are some people who would call that a rivalry. I don't consider it a rivalry, but that is mathematically the only way to get there.
  2. I thought John Mills was an OT? He certainly has tackle feet as he is a pretty athletic dude at that size.
  3. Thank goodness this is the last time we have to travel to this shit hole. Bunch of fucking felons throwing shit at players.
  4. The only thing I know about B1G reporters is that Greg Swaim is a complete knob.
  5. That’s a hell of a narrative you have created for yourself for always banging fours.
  6. He is definitely good, my biggest question is how he will be used. He looks more Alfred Collins than Byron Murphy. Does he swing out to a 5 technique/SDE? Does he get big enough to be a 3? It should be interesting to watch.
  7. Madden is, so I would assume NCAA will be. All of the plumbing is already in place.
  8. Are we making a video of all of the other school's yells to release on said date?
  9. Just keep playing NCAA 14 then.
  10. Yeah, not enough alcohol on the planet to make my rank go more than 2 deep, and even that is a stretch. 2 is more of a winter special. Probably more feasible in December than June. Edit: Looks like #2 is their coach, and shows upside potential.
  11. Surprising on Williams considering the hype he has gotten, but if I am looking at his hudl with fresh eyes there is nothing that is jumping out at me as being elite.
  12. I have actually spoken to the head of marketing at EA in the last 12ish months. They understand the scrutiny on this game will be intense. I told her that they better not screw this up. The developers and project leaders on this game are hardcore CFB fans, which gives me hope that they will get it within the zip code of being a great game.
  13. No, it is not an entirely different engine. It will be built on the Frostbite engine, which is what current Madden is built on. It will not be a reskin of Madden however, it sounds like EA is going to go heavy on RPO offenses, and still have the option based attacks in the game to go with all of the other flavors you see in CFB. I am really excited for it. The look and feel of the game will be very unique. I am curious about the physics, but will just have to wait and see on that.
  14. The note on Baker is interesting, but wake me up when they are saying this after pads come on. I doubt he is going to be moving people like Cam Williams in the run game. My biggest concern with Simmons putting on weight that fast is losing flexibility and explosiveness. He will need to do an equal amount of work to get that back. Sydir Mitchell not vying for starter snaps is not gruntling. Lefau and Bledsoe news is very gruntling. Roberson being compared to Crawford is lol
  15. You mean delivering a huge bag to a kid prior to him ever stepping foot on campus and having his parents force him into a school due to being the highest bidder is not a sound recruiting strategy for long term development? I did not see that coming.
  16. We arent in the SEC until July, but Makuba and Filsaime probably puts the kaibosh on that.
  17. Neither were clean, but what they did paled in comparison to what they were capable of, which is maybe a better way to say it. Texas isn't a total boy scout either if we are being honest, but admittedly far cleaner than those two. We only really flexed on the B12 the last 2 years, and we see how fast we turned shit around and reminded the also ran programs like Iowa State, Baylor, and K State who the fuck daddy was.
  18. Yeah, being a first or second round draft pick and the running back for the Dallas Cowboys sucks balls.
  19. There is probably a lot of truth in what you say. Tons of schools profited on the big boys like Texas, USC, Georgia, etc running cleanish programs while they were able to load up what resources they had to outbid for key recruits. But honestly, if this is their mindset already then they very well may become the next Nebraska. Unable to compete and adjust in changing times. Anyone thinking the NCAA is going to do anything but implode into itself like the dying star it is has already lost.
  20. Honestly, I am sure this would get swatted down quickly if any school really cared about enough about it to challenge. I am sure some enterprising lawyer could argue that photo shoots and decorated hotel rooms are forms of NIL, and thus not able to be regulated by the NCAA.
  21. Liucci may have just had a stroke.
  22. TCU and SMU (also Liberty) have dropped formal affiliations with religious institutions over the last decade from my understanding. TCU has a divinity school that is no longer part of the campus officially, but those students can access TCU facilities.
