  1. It's down to us or LSU for this kid, right? And we lead heavily?
  2. 1. If they lose big, it's because Elko is in the first year of a full rebuild. Tearing it down the studs and putting it back together the right way. The game basically doesn't count and means nothing about the future of the rivalry. Just wait til next year, sips. 2. If they lose little, well hell that's as good as a win. You meant to tell me that the big bad Shortwhorns, projected to win the SEC and probably the natty, couldn't even blow out lil' ol' A&M? Didja see those famers fight? Just wait til next year, sips. 3. If they win by any margin, big or little, then it will be literally the biggest thing to happen in the history of either program and, possibly, all of college football. A&M may never lose another game and Texas may never win again. You know that one part from Ode to Joy? The one that plays in Die Hard when they get the vault open? That will be playing on repeat in the mind of every Aggie for the next 12 months. We cannot allow this to happen.
  3. I like how y'all both rip on Jerry for speculating about how the Manning family works and then immediately speculate on how the Manning family work.
  4. Just talked to a buddy of mine in Louisville. He told me to temper my expectations for Lole. Apparently the injuries are a serious issue and will likely keep him off the field for extended periods in 2024. So like CTJ said, dude is basically big-body-Catalon. I'm still glad Sark went out and got him because Fuck OU. That "wrong side of the Red River" line alone was worth the trouble.
  5. Cream puff schedule, huh. Putting aside their decade of bullshit about how there's no easy games in the SEC, our schedule is no easier than A&M's. In fact, it's probably harder (although by a marginal amount). We have 3 common opponents with A&M (Florida, Arkansas, MSU). We also fucking play them at Kyle. They play ND and we play Michigan in the non-con. Neither of us should be proud of our remaining non-con schedules, although I think our is marginally harder (we don't play an FCS, but we do play ULM so...). So I'll say those are about even. That's 8/12ths of our schedules that match up evenly. The remaining 4 games: Texas A&M 1. OU 1. Mizzou 2. Georgia 2. LSU 3. Vandy 3. USCe 4. Kentucky 4. Auburn I would put OU:Mizzou and Kentucky:Auburn at pretty dead even. Vandy easier than SCar, but UGA is harder than LSU. They even out. I know I'm working awful hard to climb Mount Stupid, but I can't help myself. Their lack of self awareness is something to which I will never become accustomed.
  6. He entered the portal some time ago, but if Texas is courting him they've kept it pretty quite. If I remember his recruitment correctly, we liked him but didn't want him to play his preferred position. I think we wanted him to play DB and he wanted to play WR. So if he's seen the light about his place on the field, then bringing him in would make sense. Maybe a year at UH has given him some much needed perspective about his place in the food chain.
  7. We still need a punter, don't we?
  8. I think it really boils down the whether you prefer this: Or this: Both are great and I assume we can all agree that both are better than Temple of Doom.
  9. Saw this posted on OTF but didn't see it here. I know this was already common knowledge, but it's still nice to see it again.
  10. So UTSA is our de facto Triple-A team, huh?
  11. RB's take more direct hits/gang tackles than any other position. Any team with only 2-3 scholarship RB's for any given season is gambling...and not with house money. Anyone who can stockpile elite RB's is wise to do it, and it seems Choice is doing it as well or better than anyone else at the moment. I think people are starting to see the benefit of having 3 "starter level" RBs who are GTG and get a solid share of playing time during the season. Spreading out the touches lets everyone put out good tape while causing less wear and tear, which the NFL appreciates in April. Not that this is a novel concept or that Texas invented it, but we are the best example of it in the current CFB landscape.
  12. And that we have a bead on someone we like just as much / better.
  13. Is "RecruitClique" a reputable outfit?
  14. Not for nothing, but the NFL pension also vests after 3 years. I don't think it's much - maybe $50k/year - and you don't start drawing on it until you're much older, but it is another benefit to playing in the league even if you don't make it past your first contract.
  15. The top-8 are fine, as far as this kind of thing goes. But then it gets weird. Quinshon Judkins is not a first round RB, in any way shape or form. Riley Leonard as a first round QB is bananas - do you know how many TD passes he threw last season? Three. That's it. I know he got injured but my point is less about the lack of production and more about...who the fuck is he? He has shockingly good wheels for a white QB from Duke and nothing else, yet he's in this guy's first round? And also, no Ewers. Who is going 1/1 after we win the NCG.
  16. "The measuring stick is the schools putting 10+ into the draft, EVERY year" A&M has had 10 players drafted exactly once in the program history - in 1976. And they needed 14 rounds to do it, with only 6 players drafted in the first 7 rounds. They will literally never hold themselves to the same standards they demand from other programs.
