  1. Mostly meant OU and Florida will have much better QBs this year.
  2. Only caveat about defense I can think of is we played a lot of shitty QBs last year. We should play better ones this year, overall.
  3. Did he cuddle with you after?
  4. His numbers per play were pretty mediocre between that injury and VY taking over at QB and opening the run game.
  5. Be nice in year 4 of Flood recruiting and developing we had more confidence in the OL. He needs to do better.
  6. Pretty sure the Stanford loss and the UNT embarrassment were different years. UNT was 2002. Our running game sucked that year. Cedric really was not the same guy until 2003 due to, IMO, that injury he suffered against Colorado in the Big 12 title game. Our O-line was a joke. I remember UNT's 5'10" DT kicking Jason Glynn's ass all night long. You beat me to it. Correct.
  7. I am no expert, but this looks like the best back we’ve recruited since Bijan.
  8. I was at the game — took my 14 year old daughter and her friends. Chubb looked better than expected. OL looked decent. Can’t tell much from preseason. But those were my two observations
  9. I think reed is decent and better than what they usually have. I think he is high risk to get hurt if Klein tries to run him a bunch given his slight build. If Klein doesn’t run him much, he’s not much of a threat. Kind of a catch 22.
  10. They have not had back to back winning seasons in conference games since Bill Clinton was president. That’s astounding. Haven’t played for a conference title since 1998. Where they won in a fluke game against a better team
  11. Isn’t that the game Cook dropped what would have been an easy 60 yard TD?
  12. The Irby injury was the one that made me sick. Seemed to happen almost in slow motion. He was never the same.
  13. It got to the point where if I saw a top 100 recruit have some sort of combination of Oregon, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, A&M (Fisher era), I’d know with almost certainty we weren’t getting the recruit.
  14. A true freshman who put up the numbers he did in 9 games with an awful qb might be a little better than you think he is. We will see.
  15. Mateer looks like a poor man’s Sam Ehlinger to me. That’s the best comp I’ve got. He’s much better than what they had last year when they had perhaps the worst qb room in the P4. But that’s not saying much.
  16. There are people on here who post about football that add value and are insightful. You’re not one of them.
  17. I wasn’t super impressed either until later in season. But Gerry always said he needed a year to develop his body. And he was getting rave reviews prior to getting hurt. Saban also praised him effusively.
  18. Expressing skepticism about a RB being 100 percent based on other running backs who had the same injury or even less severe knee injuries and their recovery is making stuff up. You’re not this dumb. Come on. Do you not remember everyone being shocked about Peterson’s season when he blew out a couple ligaments?
  19. Baxter had very high expectations in year two. They were expecting a big jump in his per play and total stats. Gerry always said Baxter needed a year in the s&c program to really be the player he could be. He was being raved about prior to his injury. Again, I hope he bucks the odds and is 100 percent in year one after the injury. I’m assuming given his character he’s absolutely worked his ass off.
  20. No. I didn’t say “I don’t think he’s healthy enough to be a difference maker”. I said I was skeptical he would be given the nature of his injury given other running backs’ recoveries from multiple ligament tears. I won’t know until we see him play. I’m just expressing caution. I don’t know. Neither do you. I’d be very happy if he produces per play and total stats he had his freshman year. But for the injury I’d be expecting a lot more. He was being talked up and compared to Edgerrin James before he blew out multiple ligaments.
  21. Pretty much all I was saying. I have doubts he will be 100 percent back this year. I think it’s more likely he will be healthier in 2026. It’s not uncommon for backs off a serious knee injury to not be 100 percent until year two. I didn’t think this was a controversial take. But I hope he’s 100 percent back and has a great year. Him going down in camp last year probably cost us a game or two.
  22. We won’t know until the season starts. I’d be cautious in expecting much. Maybe he has an Adrian Peterson recovery. But that is the exception to the general rule. It’s why people made such a big deal out of his year immediately after the injury. Returning to same form in year one is uncommon.
  23. I’ll wear that as a badge of honor from you. I don’t want you agreeing with anything I say based on your takes.
