    So the OSU AD has a problem with Gundy's recruiting but you don't..

    Got it.

    The osu ad is an idiot.  8-10 wins is their ceiling yet him and Pickens think they can be bama. Gundy is a great evaluator of talent bc he has to be.  He knows blue chips will not go to osu.  If we’re forced to resort to back up plans, I have no issue with going after players committed to tcu or osu.

  2. Herman’s not stupid.  He came in last year being a big dickhead to the players.  It’s fine if your assistants can play good cop to balance bad cop.  Except Herman’s boys, mehringer and warhime, are dickheads also.  Curious why so many lineman opted out of coming back and a guy that had a starter positioned locked down for the next 3 years in RHM decided to transfer?  Herman is a narcissistic person with a big ego.  It works if you’re winning.  I think last year slapped him in the face when he was embarrassed by the likes of Maryland and Tech.  Herman’s not stupid.  He knows he has to win and show improvement this year.  Another 5-7 win season and he will be fighting for his job next year.  He can’t afford to play mental games with players by benching them this year.  I think he will play the best players this year regardless of how they practice.  He knows he can’t have a repeat of last year.  He’s putting the message out there that they aren’t being as strict this year bc the players have bought into the culture.  Players were bought in last year too.  But they jump ship when you’re being a constant asshole combined with losing games.   Hopefully he learns how to balance being a players coach while also holding players accountable.

  3. No way Carter stays.  The guy wants to play immediately and bitches when he doesn’t.  Texassports lists Watson as a grad transfer rather than a senior but he has one year to play correct?  Kirk Johnson is listed as a junior but I don’t think anyone including the coaches are counting on him.  Kyle Porter may grad transfer out like someone mentioned since he’s buried in the depth chart.  Tristan Houston should be playing at Texas state.  There is a real possibility that we have Young and Ingram next year with no one else worth shit.  We absolutely need to take 2 decent backs this year.  I’d put bets on Brown and a guy like the LA rb... hollins I think? Unless LSU implodes, don’t see Cain going anywhere else.  His dad lives in Baton Rouge.

  4. What's the word on David Johnson?  I have the #4 pick in a 12 player leagues that's .5 ppr.  I know the cardinals have some issues on offense so I'm hesitant to pick him with coming off an injury along with the cardinal woes.  I expect Bell, Gurley, and Elliot to be picked ahead of me.  Should I skip Johnson and go with a safe bet like Antonio Brown?  Lots of great choices at #4 with Hunt, Brown, Julio, Fornette, Johnson.  Not sure who to pick.

  5. It’s been great to watch Boyd grow up and develop.  Every recruiting guy said this dude has NFL atheleticism if he can stay focused and mature.  I hope he kills it this season and goes day 1.  It’ll be a great example for the younger DBs to see a guy stay all 4 years and put themselves in a situation where they cash out big on draft day.

    Do you need the money in the next 12 months? If not you can get a higher rate on a CD. 

    I'm not sure when I will need it.  I'm in the middle of a construction project that may take a year for my practice and also looking to buy a house sometime in the next two years so I don't want to tie the cash up as I may need to pull from it from time to time.  I'm hoping to move the cash into an online savings and at least get some money back.  My chase rate is shit.  Barely earning $30 a month.  

    Looks like Ally is at %1.78... CITI and Amex are at %1.75.  I see some higher rates (1.9) with Synchrony, CIBC, and Citizens access but I've never heard of these banks (I'm not in finance or much of an investor).  Leaning towards ally right now only bc I have buddies that have their accounts with them so I feel a bit more comfortable.  I've also read that their interface is easy to work with.  

  7. So I have most of my accounts with chase.  I cannot invest it for the time being and would like to park the cash in an account where I can at least get some sort or return.  I'm seeing certain online savings accounts yielding 1.75-2.00%.  Anyone have experience with ally bank, amex savings account, citizens access bank, CIBC?  I'm thinking of moving all my cash into ally bank.  I have heard good things from friends.  Thoughts? Comments? Recommendations?

  8. When I went to GungHo, I expected it to be overrated but I was pleasantly surprised.  It's definitely not authentic.... more americanized dishes but they are done well.  When I have guests visit, I usually take them there for dinner as it's a fun environment.  I believe the owners are the same ones that used to own Victor Tangos.  I couldn't stop eating the cracked chicken.  I really liked the cumin lamb also.  

  9. Yeah, that article looks very bad for Durkin and the Maryland program.  A kid dying and not being given the proper care for an hour makes the trainers look completely incompetent.  Interviewing players next to the coaches office giving away their anonymity makes the administration look bad too.   Seems like the bullying culture was spread outside just the coaching staff.  Maryland is going to have a big lawsuit on their hands.  

  10. Listened to the interview with footwork king on the "no interviews" podcast.  He said that Demas is Julio Jones 2.0.  He mentioned that he went to Georgia's camp full of 4 and 5 star kids and embarrassed every DB at the camp as a sophomore.  He jokingly stated that the UGA coaches were re-evaluating some of their DB prospects because of how bad they looked against Demas.  Ran a 4.38 at UGA's camp and had an insane vertical.  Mentioned that he's 6'4 and around 195 right now.  

    Looks like both Evans and Demas are both can't miss prospects.  We really need to win this season.  I'm sick of seeing these prospects head to the likes of bama, uga, ohio state.

    Honest question, do you think that if Orlando has another hot season and gets plucked that the higher OOS ratio could come back to bite us should we have coaching departures?

    I think he keeps cashing in big checks here while waiting for a big time program to open up.  With what we are willing to pay him, I don't see him leaving for the likes of UH or SMU.  It's going to take more than 1-2 good years on defense to land a big time gig.  Both Muschamp and Smart had 4+ years of elite level defenses before landing at UF/UGA.

    He's the best back to come out of Texas since Adrian Peterson. He has trouble finding a car when he has to get somewhere farther from home than a mile. He'll basically be the top prospect in the country and if he stays healthy, he will be projectable as a high NFL draft pick before he signs his LOI. This is going to be Marcus Dupree level shit.

    In that case, we need to deliver an F-250 to him asap loaded with cash.  I don't care who else we get next cycle as long as we land Evans and Demas. 

  13. I mean, he's not wrong.  We have not developed our players the way we should have on offense atleast.  But that is going to change.  This year we may have 2 WRs drafted as Jrs in the NFL.  We need 1 winning season and this shit will get fixed.  8 years of losing will do that.

  14. It's so funny to see how bad they were last year.  They have huge holes in in their depth chart with a not so stellar class coming in.  Some how, they have convinced themselves that jimbo is going to win the SEC this year and they have a power house team.  They don't have a QB worth a shit, their o-line is worse than ours, and they have huge depth concerns on defense.  They will be lucky to win 7 games next year.
