  1. That's a quality pickup. For some reason I was thinking he was faster than he looks on film, but still a good back.
  2. The only thing I will say is that the extent of the allergy may not have been known. If someone comes to me and says "Hey, even the very sight of a peanut could kill me. It is really serious.", my next rational thought is not going to be how to smear peanut products all over him as a joke. But if I think a kid might just break out in hives if he eats a peanut, then the prank is within the realm of just being a dumbass. I seriously doubt there was true malicious intent to put the kid's life in danger. But I could also be wrong and the kid is a Charles Manson junior cadet.
  3. The person I am most concerned for is Gus. I can just see him flying out of his mind on a call.. "FUMBLE PICKED UP BY <INSERT TEAM>! THEY AREN'T GONNA CATCH HIM! NOAH.... KNIGGA..... MY KNIGGA!"
  4. On the flip side, I could just as likely see a push to have home games at say Cincinnati or Troy or any other 35,000 seat stadium moved to the nearest neutral site location that can house a much larger number of fans. Thus negating any real home field advantage because a lot more of the opposing fans will show up. It shouldn't happen, but it could.
  5. Wherever it is, I am pretty sure this is where Vince dropped off our 05 national championship trophy.
  6. I am a bit of a QB scientist myself, so let me go ahead and just spoil the intrigue over the next few years, as I have done accurately in the last several drafts. JJ McCarthy is nothing more than a game manager at the next level with a likely 1 or 2 year starting career followed by a longer string as #2, he was nothing more than that in college. Can a pent up 1980's power run offense by a former DC turned HC win with him? Sure, if he has a stacked team around him (see Purdy, Brock). But don't expect him to be able to put the team on his back more than once per season and deliver. Caleb Williams is the Deshaun Watson of this draft. His bust potential is as high as his boom potential, and he may do both. Williams is elite in almost every physical category and can make a QB guru type coach a career if he gets that dude (see Reid, Andy). He has clear flaws and question marks between the ears, but an elite game planner/play caller will save him from himself. If he doesn't get that, then he could be 5 and out. Sean P Drake Maye is Colt McCoy with more pro tools. He has that wicked accuracy and decision making but with a better arm. Solid leader, by all accounts a decent dude, and a hard worker. However, unlike Colt, he was not good enough to mask major deficiencies on the rest of his team. If I am drafting him, my main question is how come he didn't carry his team more than he did. I think he starts longer than JJ, but not much longer unless he finds himself in a perfect system. Sean McVay or Sean Payton are probably the best coaches for him. Jayden Daniels is a guy that I think could have a solid career, but he is going to be minimized at the next level athletically and not able to get away with some of the shit he did at LSU. He is not the next Lamar Jackson. Bo Nix... lol. A checkdown master with scrambling ability will make a bad team just as bad. Michael Penix is the guy we could all look back on 5 years from now and wonder why all of the obvious signs that he was going to be great seemed to not register. Put this dude in a downfield passing attack and he could be a three contract guy in the NFL. His decision making, throwing to leverage, and insane downfield accuracy are all better than anyone in the draft. If they try to put him into a more traditional progression based system he will underperform, if they put him behind a bad OL then he will be injury prone, but if he gets a Shanahan/McDaniel/Reid type system then he is going to be a monster.
  7. This seems like a layup Oklahoma commit. OU family, satisfies Venables weird obsession with getting kids from Austin to commit, highly questionable character, likes to knock people out in public places, protected by big peanut, karen mom who looks like she just got rawdogged in the parking lot in her mini van. 7 star sooner.
  8. I absolutely love how some broken sarcasm meters have gotten us to this point. I wasn't aware of the original story, but the post reaction was nothing but missing the joke.
  9. Wow, 4 texas guys in the second and a first rounder. I'll take that thank you.
  10. So you're saying that they did, in fact, get together and say "Let's try and kill our teammate today."
  11. Lighten up Francis. I am sure all of those kids got together and said "Hey, let's try to kill our teammate today." More likely it was just a bunch of meathead 17 and 18 year olds making meathead decisions with no real grasp on true consequences just like we all did back then.
  12. I love the sudden new belief that you can't call plays as a HC and win in the SEC. Especially when Andy Reid just won the Super Bowl back to back doing it. They are desperately clinging to any measurement they can to prove that Sark is going to flame out here, when all signs are pointing the other direction. The same as when they were desperately clinging to any measurement, or just ignoring them completely, to prove that Jimbo was an elite coach until he wasn't. Now they are just praying that Sark is our Jimbo. Never change aggy.
  13. Everyone is a flat earther in Omaha.
  14. It is the recreation of the battle of Kyle Field.
  15. This is all a big misunderstanding. He just thought he was playing Grand Theft Auto with Apple Vision Pro.
  16. Just because we havent really played them, in the B1G it would be interesting to see Texas vs: Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers, Indiana, Northwestern, Wisconsin. And in the ACC, Texas vs. Duke, Wake Forest, Virginia, Boston College, Pitt, Va Tech.
  17. I love how gigem can finally come out of the closet too.
  18. Tyler Owens getting a combine invite is interesting.
  19. Starting an off topic conversation about bans seems suspiciously like a thread derail.
  20. Baylor and TCU in particular are going to be hurt the most by Texas leaving. Houston is a never was, so who gives a shit about them. There is absolutely zero national relevance to those programs until they beat Texas at something. Even their basketball teams don't really get paid attention to until they beat us. Now they will become one of those schools that you only ever hear anything about during March Madness like Davidson or Gonzaga, and I am absolutely here for it. Oh you won a B12 championship in football once a decade? Cool, enjoy your ass kicking in the first round of the playoffs by one of the top 3 seeds.
  21. Quinn should have just thrown a rope to the front pylon. Game set match.
