  1. Tired: 10 year head start on playing sec big boy football. Wired: got to play in big dumpster fire but recruit under sec banner.
  2. I'll be there close to halftime. I'm getting a hangover iv in my hotel room in a few minutes and watching the first quarter from my bed with the drip going. Watched texas best bama last year here too. Let's fucking go!
  3. Vegas has them at 35 or 36, depending on where you look. That probably seems about right. I have no idea what to expect. If they played in the east, I'd predict a .500 record and playoff appearance but the west is too deep. Only Portland will be outright tanking from day 1. Obviously if Victor misses any significant time, they jump with both feet into the tank. And he's been playing essentially non-stop for almost two years running, so even if he's healthy I can see them load managing him and erring on the side of caution with even the most minor bump or bruise. But if he's healthy and continues on his trajectory, and they get 65-ish games of Chris Paul actually playing worth a shit? Then I think a playoff/play-in berth is on the table. I would be completely and utterly stunned if they made any significant trades to immediately improve the team. Anything they do will have the long game in mind. Along those lines and I hate to say it, but probably the best thing for them to do this year is another tank. Or even better, strike gold on the Atlanta pick. There looks to be potentially 5 franchise players in this draft. You put Flagg, Traore, Edgecombe, Harper or Bailey next to the young pieces they already have and you're set up for a dominating 10 year run.
  4. Pretty stoked I can still sport my Brandon Paul jersey. If they could only sign another Poeltl who wears 25...
  5. Say what you will about the Michigan writers being homers (and who isn't that covers college football), but they put out more real football content than any opponent I can remember. It's refreshing and appreciated. And they do have a point about their DTs. We saw last year what a dominant duo up there can do to an offense. To me, that's the ballgame. Handle those two, don't turn the ball over and don't do stupid shit on special teams and get the fuck out of there with a W.
  6. Yeah, that 2022 Bama team had Will Anderson (#3 overall pick), Dallas Turner (#17), Terrian Arnold (#24), Koolaid McKinstry (#41), Chris Braswell (#57), Jordan Battle (#95), and Byron Young (#70).
  7. Not only that but it wasn't the same combo. The route concept that Fresno ran, where the inside receiver also runs a curl allows the defender to come off his man and jump the route. In that same alignment against Texas, he would have had to follow the inside receiver downfield and cleared out the area.
  8. I absolutely expected the LSU offensive line to control the game. It seemed like they finally started to get their running game untracked about midway through the third quarter, and then it just fizzled out. Maybe having Jayden Daniels doing crazy shit play after play last year covered up some of their weaknesses? I do think USC has made some major strides on defense. If they can be that competent week in and week out, I like them as much as anybody in the Big 10. They are always going to scheme well on offense, they have some real playmakers catching the ball, and Moss was impressive. The pieces can change so quickly in college football through graduation eligibility running out, early draft entrants, transfers, coaching moves, and straight up voodoo that it amazes me every year what I think I know about teams vs. what actually shows up on the field.
  9. PSA: they sell Central Grocery's olive salad at HEB. At least they do at the one in San Antonio in Lincoln Heights on the rare occasion that they are open.
  10. Their defensive line not dominating against the inexperienced ND offense has got to be an eye opener. If there was one thing that you thought you knew you could hang your hat on, it was that front being good. Especially after it was bolstered by the Purdue transfer. In the meantime, former 5-star Aggie recruit Anthony Lucas was doing this for USC against one of the more hyped tackles in the country:
  11. When I busted out that muffaletta last week, I thought I fucked up the bread so I made a second loaf. So... what are you going to do? Muffalletta 2, Olive Salad Boogaloo:
  12. The play he makes (or more accurately, doesn't make) at the 10:48 mark is even worse. And yeah.... look where he goes flying in. Brutal.
  13. I actually agree with Bizzle on this. Their oline looked more cohesive than it has in the last couple of years. Maybe Weigman didn't know how to react when he wasn't running for his life?
  14. Loved him in the Bad News Bears.
  15. I understand the rationale, but Texas laying 7 or 7.5 on the road to the defending national champs who are 40-3 in their last 43 games seems crazy. I also get the Alabama parallels from last year, but it takes a different of a mentality to go in as the favorite instead of going in as the underdog. I don't care how many players they had to replace or how many coaches have moved on, anybody expecting anything but a dogfight is either a massive homer or hasn't been following college football for very long. I also just checked the prediction thread and Helobious picked Texas to win 31-7. We are proper fucked.

    Why the announcers gotta bring up old shit?

    BC @ FSU

    BC should have beaten their asses last year when FSU was actually good. Nobody should be surprised by this. They have to pull DJU. The natives are way past restless.
  18. LSU starting to get the ground game going. Imposing their will. This is a pretty good team if they can play decent defense, which they are doing tonight. Nussmeyer is legit.
  19. When they outlaw dangling mouthguards only outlaws will have dangling mouthguards.
  20. Michigan was not impressive, in an almost alarming way last night. As in, are these dudes playing possum or are they really what they look like? I’m more concerned about overconfidence than anything. They barely outgained Fresno. Fresno was driving to make it a one score game late before a bad pick six on a screen pass. Their qbs, outside of a few Orji runs where he got loose, were not good. Beyond that, I didn’t think their offensive line was very physical. They punished teams on the ground last year. Remember what they did to Penn State? They didn’t even pretend to pass against them and ran it like 30 times in a row. Last night they ran it 34 times for 148 yards. That isn’t going to frighten anyone. Their defense is talented and the dts are a problem. Fresno couldn’t do dick running the ball and became one dimensional. If the Texas oline can keep them in check, keep Ewers clean and keep them honest in the run game, then I like our chances notwithstanding excessive turnovers or special teams miscues. Michigan is going to have to turn the game into a rock fight to win.
  21. Aggie now 1-9 all time when on game day.
  22. Remember when Clemson used to have seemingly endless dynamic playmakers at WR and RB? Yeah, those days are long gone.
