  1. Wasn’t sure where to post this. Murphy making multiple AA teams yesterday reminded me of this exchange (SIAP):
  2. Has anyone investigated whether Elko walked into that first meeting with Deion’s “I’m coming” aka the “Louis” speech? Seems like he may have.
  3. Community engagement is off the charts with that guy. Tremendous role model.
  4. It’s crazy to look at that graphic and remember his teary-eyed presser at Minnesota when he resigned due to multiple epileptic incidents on the sidelines. He was a walking seizure for like five years. I’m sure he’s happy to be alive.
  5. This post reminded me of a thought that kept coming back to me while following this thread the past couple of days—I remember last year when that one guy threw an absolute bitch fit over the fact that Lincoln Riley was lapping Sark in portal additions, and drastically improving his absolutely horrendous defense by adding splashy names at critically weak positions. I couldn’t help but wonder if he got a chance to see the fruits of that labor manifest on the field in the form of a radically improved SC defense. That prescient fellow’s username seems to have escaped my memory. I sure hope he didn’t commit harakiri after watching Sark get owned all offseason… Oh, who am I kidding? We all knew that man was alive and well when the “Gerry, why does Bo Davis suck at his job?” super chats came rolling in every livestream.
  6. I dig that motherfucker’s energy. I have no idea if he is a good coach, but that man is cranked up to 11 in every presser I’ve seen, and most of the time his voice is already completely gone. He’s like that true freshman that has no clue where he is supposed to be going on the field, but he is going 110 mph anyway. He really plays up the fact that he was at FSU with Norvell as evidence that he knows how to successfully rebuild a program. Like you said, he’ll need some of Norvell’s portal magic to make it work.

    Bumping this shit as @Thatguy did previously with another thread to remind people how fucking ridiculous some of you are. I told myself after reading this fucking thread at the time that if Texas went forward and achieved everything that was still in front of them, I was going to rehash these petty grievances. “Oh, he told the kids to go have fun…what a fucking pussy. He’ll never win anything with that disposition.” You morons are fucking pussies for believing that bullshit makes a goddamn difference. Even for the football board, your low-grade, downmarket, paint-by-numbers ideas about what football is, and what it takes to be successful, are so aggie-esque, it is an embarrassment. Fuck y’all. Signed, Big 12 Fucking Champs/CFP #3 Seed P.S. To the motherfuckers on other threads who: a) were “so done with Quinn” and clamoring for Maalik early in the season b) were seriously suggesting Quinn wouldn’t even start if he returned next year… Sorry you had to suffer through all of those lamentable fucking wins. The Revenge Tour continues in New Orleans on New Year’s Day. I hope you losers stay your ass on the fucking couch, so you can race over here and bitch about hearing what the ESPN mics caught Sark saying to his players during the pregame stretch period or something, and how it is an absolute disgrace and entirely antithetical to winning football. /rant
  8. The funny part in all of this is that the reverberating effect of his flip caused Baylor to lose their most important recruit, a guy they could have used at various points this season. It looked like a hell of a steal for Kelly at the time. It’s a shame things didn’t work out. I’m curious, how did his season compare to DTR’s first year? I know that was a rough one.
  9. Steady upgrades, no doubt.
  10. Hey now, Gene Chizik and Ed Orgeron deserve some fucking respect. They totally fit the archetype, and I’m sure Bjork spent a lot of time researching their success as well.
  11. That bottom picture… All I see is this:
  12. Bit of a tangent, but that was coincidentally the last time Tech was ranked. All they had to do was win their opener vs Wyoming this year to break the streak..and they shit the bed in spectacular fashion. It has now been over a decade since they spent two consecutive weeks in the top 25 (Baker Mayfield’s year). Mahomes spent three years there and his team was NEVER ranked. It’s funny considering how much shit they were talking in the offseason, and how they think they are positioned to be the dominant team in the new Big 12. I haven’t done the research, but I’d venture a guess that every other team has reached the top 25 more recently.
  13. Gotta admit, I didn’t see the racist death threats coming. That’s on me. Damn shame my man E-Rob didn’t get the gig. I’m sure that would have ended well. Your Pal, Kevin Sumlin
  14. Texas 37 Semiliterate South Plains Shit Stains 20 626 yards passing *looks at the previous post* Goddammit, I swear I didn’t copy @SuckitKevin’s work.
  15. Man, I am enjoying all of these “you fucking idiots, if our rivals hire THIS shitty, overrated coach it would be an absolute disaster for THEM!” arguments that are popping up on every thread. I have no fucking idea what they are attempting to ward US off of, but I’m glad Texas is 9-1 and we can spend time ceaselessly bitching about who everybody else might hire (and why that is fucking stupid) for a change. I’ll just add my two cents—I’m baffled as to why Joey McGuire hasn’t already been hired. Dude beat OU, Texas, AND Ole Miss in the same fucking year. He did that and has all the quintessential aggie traits. He’s the fucking one, ags. Go gig him.
  16. Well, what a pleasant surprise. Another ATX-STL connection (pictured): Let’s ride, Ryno.🤘
  17. “We’ll teach you how to make that amount every year if you enroll…” Yes, let’s teach a kid how to fish…for pertinent information: I’m sure @RollingPresidential loses sleep every night thinking about the path to wealth he chose not to take.. *Syd beat me to it, but the comparison tool might help visual learners understand how fucking stupid that guy’s assertion is.
  18. This might actually be the most intellectually dishonest answer to “why’d you flip?” ever: “I’d say probably a month ago, I looked at Nick Saban and Hugh Freeze — Nick Saban is a good coach, all the stuff he’s had through college football. I know he specializes with (defensive backs), and my main position is receiver,” Thompson said. “And Hugh Freeze has got a background of developing receivers at a higher level. Just that, how you get receivers to their highest point.” Freeze coached tight ends for a year at Ole Miss. The exact same maneuver Charlie used to get Jeff Traylor on staff. In his time as HC at Ole Miss, he produced three draft picks at WR (one first rounder, Treadwell). He produced two at Liberty. His former WR coach at Ole Miss during that time is now at UCF after producing zero NFL picks in five years at Indiana. His current WR coach, who replaced Marion at the dumpster fire that was Hawaii, hasn’t produced a draft pick in his brief three year career. Saban? He has produced eleven draft picks at the WR position, including EIGHT first round picks. For all the criticism he received on this site earlier this year, Holmon Wiggins has coached six draft picks, including five top-15 selections, and one of those won the Heisman Trophy. Saban may focus on DBs, but even his tangential record on WR development is light years ahead of anything Freeze has done. Those eleven WRs have earned $332 million to this point in their careers. Freeze’s guys have earned $37 million. That’s just the WRs Saban has produced at Bama. If you want to add his previous two stops, that’s six more draft picks and somewhere around $75 million more in career earnings. I honestly don’t see the immediate downside for Auburn if he just said, “they offered me more money.” But, even if he wanted to give a more tepid response, why not cite the new OC and his proclivity for running the football, or the depth chart/playing time? You really want to reference the most prolific developer of NFL talent in college football history as why you chose NOT to go to Alabama? Did Freeze really convince this dumbfuck that he was responsible for Metcalf and Brown? If so, add three more first rounders and $90 million to Saban’s tab (not including the late Charles Rogers). I have no idea why I just went down a rabbit hole and dedicated this many words to a post about the Alabama/Auburn rivalry, but that kid’s comment struck me as one of the dumbest bullshit responses I’ve ever read (on par with Jimbo’s “they chose a&m for the world-class education” and “everybody says ‘why go to a program that’s winning all the time?’”). Freeze is an outstanding recruiter, but Thompson is galactically stupid if he actually believes what he said. One final random tidbit I came across—this kid’s hometown of Foley, AL (ironically, the same hometown as Julio Jones) is literally like the Cotton Bowl of the gump state rivalry. It is equidistant (231 mi) between the two schools. Geographically, it might help to think of it more as the asshole of the corpulent body that is Alabama..equidistant from the two sweaty armpits.
