2025 game Week 1, #1 Texas @ #3 Ohio State - What the Fuck is a Buckeye?
victory88 replied to Wulaw Horn's topic in Football
Cross posting. Long read. I’ve been listening to podcast after podcast. I’m fully convinced we are going to make a statement this Saturday. The media is now shifting to picking Ohio State. Texas has some big advantages in this game. Ohio State is coming in with more question marks and being given the benefit of doubt. Passing game: Sayin, while talented is making his first start agains possibly the best defense he may see in his entire college football career. Howard brought 5 years of experience and a dual threat ability to escape our pass rush in the semi final game. He had two stud RBs to take the pressure off of him. Sayin won’t have those and is going to be on a leash. Day is not going to give the dude a green light to sling it against PK and this defense. They will gameplan to get the ball out quick to Smith and rely on their run game. PK is going to bracket Smith, load the box, and dare Sayin to get the ball out quick to their other WRs. Arch is coming in being in his 3rd year and has been in pressure situations in big games. His ability to run, his rocket arm, and his ability to read a defense is going to put Ohio State on skates. They aren’t playing against Quinn where you could devote numbers to the run game with little to no fear of Quinn running or hitting a deep shot. We are going to have a numbers advantage in the run game and their safeties are going to have to account for getting beat deep. Endries should have a big fucking game with the conflict their LBs and safeties are going to be put in. Run Game: Texas has shut down nearly every teams run game over the last 2 years with completely different personnel at DT in both years. This year may be the best group of run defenders from a depth perspective . Good luck to their OL going up against this front 7. With out a mobile QB and 2 stud RBs, they are going to have to push this Dline around to make holes. I don’t see that happening and I don’t see them surpassing 100 yards on the ground. Texas is going to lean on the interior 3 guards and their strengths. Ohio state is 1 deep at DT. Tire them out and we are going to see a similar 2nd half like we saw at Michigan where we control the clock and run it right at them. I don’t see us going deep and trying to beat their secondary in 1 on 1s. Being on the road, we are going to see if they have enough bodies for a fist fight for 4 Quarters. Coordinators: new DC and new OC. Knowles and Schumann may be the only 2 DCs I’d take over PK and I’d have to really think about it. Well, Knowles isn’t there anymore. You could argue Chip Kelly was the reason for their run late in the year. He’s not there either. Texas has a huge advantage here Conclusion: It took Ohio State a fluke 75 yard screen pass TD before half and a strip sack-TD to win against Texas last year. They had the more talented team and that game was won over 2 plays. Texas is walking in with an advantage at QB, defense, and schemes. Unless Texas shoots itself in the foot with penalties and turnovers, I do not see how Ohio State is going to find a push in their run game to alleviate the pressure Sayin is going to put in if they are in predictable passing situations. They also lack depth at DT against a team that is going to come in and run it right at you. My prediction is 10-7 at half time and 24-17 final score. The score will make it look closer but Texas is going to control this game. -

Looks like Kazakhstan, “very nice”, is ramping up uranium production... hence the 20% drop. Don’t really understand why uuuu is sitting on all this uranium. Sell it so we can fucking dump this stock.

It’s so hard to say. There are offices that do exactly what some of you guys are stating, many tend to be corporate and hmo offices but I’ve also seen fancy looking private practices do shit work and over treat. There also some providers that are more aggressive and want to drill into every small cavity, while others will wait till it grows and becomes an issue. The providers that over treat piss me off because it makes the honest and good clinicians have to work even harder to build patient trust with patients that have been wronged. With that said, I could retire tomorrow if I had a nickel for every time a patient came into my office and blamed anyone and everyone for the issues in their mouth when it looks like they haven’t brushed their teeth in 20 years. @NorthLoop dm me and I can send you my email. Ask for all your x-rays, chart notes, any intra oral photos, signed treatment plans and consents for every appointment and send them to me. They may give you a hard time and at most can charge you maybe $40-50 dollars for sending you your records. If they are telling you that you need a crown, there likely is a large cavity, a small cavity under a very large filling, or a fractured/worn down tooth. If the x-rays don’t match up with their recommendations, you have every right to file a board complaint and you should. If your dentist is being dishonest, you can easily make his/her life hell.

We're bound to have injuries and there will be more. Hell tOSU almost lost their best starter at DT on their first day. Losing a backup RT isn't the worst thing in the world considering Brooks is capable of pushing to get starter reps at RT. Chatman can also contribute. Sucks but I'll be content if we make it to week 1 without losing any starters. -
Man I uses to log in hours a day during the pandemic and even after on warzone. But it’s gotten too ridiculous with the movements, sliding, the cheating. It’s unplayable unless you play the same way. Going to give battle field a try if people like it.

Sharma was the biggest and quickest in that clip. He’s too big and fast to keep on the bench. He’ll be getting quality snaps by the end of the year pushing for the starting job. -

If we flip Lee, it won't be because of NIL. There's a decent chance Moore is fired after this year if they can't put together an offense that can score more than 10 points. -

Ossai is the only one that starts and gets playing time on this team. He also had a longer frame and was taller. Gerry has said Kreul is more along the lines of 6'2 220 lbs. That's small for edge in a LOS league like the SEC. He's also coming from IMG and a good S&C program so not sure how maxed out his frame is at this point. Shark was OLB, Hager was a borderline walk-on. I don't know if either guy are even 2nd string as seniors on this team. -
Let's go UUUU!

Kreul seems small and guys like him tend to get recruited over very quicky. Kinda reminds me of Akana, a guy that was supposed to be DPR and never was able to gain weight or contribute. Since "the numbers" don't really matter, I guess it doesn't hurt to take him and see if he can bake into Trey Moore in 2-3 years. -
I’m debating getting out too. I feel like $5-9 is the range this sucker will stay at forever. Been holding it for 3 years now.
-
Got it, I’ll go ahead and buy more!
-
Alright, I’m at my cost basis. Do I sell this thing and walk away or should I continue holding? It’s been like 3 damn years I’ve been waiting for this sucker to pop.

Man, if true... his class is going to have some high end talent. #1 QB - Bell Top 3 RB- Cooper #1 LB- Atkinson 5 star edge- Wesley Elite LT- Turntine. Gerry has called him the best OL in Texas in both the 2025 and 2026 class and has said he has been the #1 OL on the Texas board. #1 DT- James Johnson Elite athlete/5 star caliber- Jermaine Bishop Assuming we land the guys above, this class may not have the top to bottom depth like the 2025 class, not saying it isn't.... but.... the top end talent may be better. That doesn't even include Benjamin, who most have pegged to Oregon. -

We offered Cooper early in the year and he did an unofficial visit. We tried to get him into one of the big official visit weekends but he had long standing relationships with other schools so he OV’d there instead while we pursued Crowell hard. Crowell was always top on the board. When choice was here, he was leaning hard towards Texas. I think he had taken 4 visits to Texas. Once Choice left, he got upset and eliminated Texas the next day. Sark still recruited him however. KJ was always the 2nd back in the class. Crowell and Cooper are more like Baxter, big physical backs that can inside with very good speed for their size. Edwards is built more like Jayden Blue. Once Crowell picked Bama, we moved from 1A to 1B. If we prioritized Edwards as the feature back and offered him the same NIL package Crowell and Cooper are getting, he’s probably in this class. Osborne is also a smaller back and we stopped recruiting him when Chad Scott got hired. Cooper is borderline 5 star back and would be one of the highest rated running backs outside of Baxter and Bijan to commit to Texas, assuming it all plays out in our favor. I believe he was committed to Georgia at one point in time. -

I never really understood the 180 with Osborne considering how much he liked us but it’s obvious we parted ways with him and really focused on the top two targets on the board, Crowell and Cooper. I also always got the sense that Edwards was going to be the 2nd back in the class and I feel that he probably felt that way too. He’s listed 5’9-5’10 and 190 lbs so he’s probably a little smaller than that in reality. I think Sark was recruiting him for a Jayden Blue type role and perhaps he wanted to be a feature back. I imagine they went down their list. Once Crowell went to Bama, Bobby and Gerry mentioned Texas had a higher NIL package for him, then Texas went to Cooper. I get the sense the same happened with Griffin. Atkinson is 1 on the board. If he doesn’t pick Texas, they will go down the list. -
I’m 11-3 on rookie tier on road to CFP and made it to the national championship. Bringing the trophy home tonight. Then time to dominate the next tier.
-
I've only really played on road to CFP and not against the cpu yet on dynasty mode but good to hear. I will say, I've been wrecking people with the HB toss play in the full house formation.
-
Yeah, I definitely find it harder to go deep with Moore and Wingo. I feel like Wingo needs to be faster in the game
-
I’d be down. Ready to wreck you fools!

Dude there are three 5 stars in the class and it is June. We got the #1 QB, #1 tackle, and an elite edge rusher on our board. This class is going to be just fine, it’s barely July. Let’s see the language in these contracts for these offers come August. Let’s also see if Goosby, Moore, etc go pro a year early. If they do, that will open up funds and we can flip guys. Texas is trying to keep powder dry to keep their roster in place because we will make a legit national title run in Arch’s final year. Hell, we’re going to make one this year and teams are going to do their best to poach from our roster. Gerry and Bobby have said that every position on this team has a back up that will be a NFL player. Texas wants to retain them instead of over pay for high school guys considering there is a cap, which may not even exist after law suits. Chill… -

He was being talked nationally and was in a lot of mocks in the 1st round. He put out lots of good things and also bad things on tape which isn’t surprising for a first year starter. He fell bc of his lack of experience and bc he couldn’t test due to his injuries. He still went in the 5th round. Had he come back, worked on his weaknesses and had another year of tape, he very likely would have been a top 2 round pick. -

He’s a tackle. Gerry is adamant about it. He has seen Turntine numerous times for years and is a much better evaluator than the guys running the recruiting services. He’s said he has tackle wing span and may be the most athletic lineman in the last two OL classes. He’s also ranked in the top 10 in his high school class academically and has tremendous work ethic. He’s said multiple times that Turntine has been at the top of the Texas board for years. Flood has been recruiting him for 3 or so years as a tackle. He will probably be the most ready tackle prospect from a technique and feet standpoint since Banks. He simply has to put on about 30 pounds. That is probably the only thing holding him back. Gerry said he is already squatting a ridiculous amount at his current weight.
