  1. They are legit special needs adults on there. I always feel kind of bad for Bobby and Gerry since they have to interact with them and pretend to take them seriously.
  2. Feel like this has been discussed, but the Rice transfer getting beat out by a guard at LT and now being in a battle for the RT job is such a bad sign for OSU. On top of that, they lose two all world RBs, without replacing them with anyone near that caliber and a physical, experienced QB who was a run threat. Oh and they also lose Chip Kelly, who probably overcomes lesser OL talent through run blocking schemes better than anyone in football. I would not want to open against this Texas front 7 with all of the foregoing.
  3. Thank you! That looks like a great spot, I'll probably end up there.
  4. Ha, I've done it in the past at other away games and been fine. I'm pretty good at conflict de-escalation, but the way y'all are talking about Columbus is certainly making me think twice.
  5. Anyone familiar with Columbus know of good bars to watch the rest of the CFB slate after we emasculate the whole state of Ohio? Looks to be plenty of sports bars, but I'd prefer not to be surrounded by midwestern townies.
  6. Kentucky's starting QB is Zach Calzada and they lost basically every difference maker on their terrible 4-8 team from last year. We win that game even if we sleepwalk it.
  7. Under no circumstances are we losing to Kentucky. I'm including circumstances where we lose our three deep at QB and Colin Simmons gets caught robbing a bank. I would actually be very surprised if we lost a trap game this year. If we beat Ohio State, I expect us to go 11-1, unless we have terrible injury luck. I build in one loss for @Georgia or @Florida, although I'm confident that we will be better than both of those teams.
  8. Baxter ready to go against Ohio State is really impactful, even if he’s not fully back athletically. He’s such a good pass blocker and catcher, plus he can actually run between the tackles. Opens up so much on offense.
  9. However poor they are financially, they are infinitely more poor morally and spiritually.
  10. I think what you should do in this situation is stop listening to and reading content from that fat sloppy pig Ari Wasserman.
  11. With Burton caping for Alan Jagson, I'm officially a believer. I look forward to watching him moss Caleb Downs for a 35 yard TD pass in Columbus and celebrate with an air guitar.
  12. TBD until we see results on the field, but Emaree Winston has to be one of the most surprising recruits in a while. We were all completely ambivalent as to whether he ended up in the class. Early returns on him and Townsend are great to hear given where we're at in the 2026 class. On the other hand, reading between the lines on Lockett/Ffrench, it sounds a bit concerning. Bobby/Gerry didn't talk about them as instant contributors during the recruiting process, but you'd like to hear better things from recruits of their stature. Particularly because the seem to be well behind McCutcheon and it's not like they're hyping him up as a future Day One draft pick. I'd trade all three of those guys for DK Moore.
  13. Strong analysis, absolutely no difference between subpar QB play and good QB play.
  14. Spoilered some discussion on the Ohio State 247 page regarding their QB battle. Their mods have been consistently lukewarm on Sayin coming out of spring and they talk about Kienholz like he's a game manager JAG. All very heartening.
  15. Dante Moore is small, not particularly mobile and doesn’t have a strong arm. He’s pretty accurate in the short and intermediate, so I think he’ll largely look alright since the Oregon offense is gimmicky and doesn’t require a ton of big time throws. I expect he’ll struggle against Penn State and maybe IU and look pretty good against overmatched competition. I don’t think Oregon is a real threat this year.
  16. It does seem like they're attempting to build what is essentially a souped up Big 12 team. I feel like I've posted a few variations of this, but it's just so shocking to me that the powers that be at OU were fooled by such an obvious charlatan. If you take the teams that are perceived as effectively deploying the "identify underrecruited three stars", say KSU, ISU and Rhule Baylor, they typically produce 2-5 NFL draft picks annually, including 1-2 first round picks per decade. Oh and also they quite literally never contend for national championships. Nagy claims they can contend for national championships using this strategy. Let's take a look at NFL draft results for recent national champions: OSU '25: 14 draft picks (7 in the first two rounds) Michigan'24: 13 draft picks (3 in the first two rounds) Georgia '23: 10 draft picks (3 in the first two rounds) Georgia '22: 15 draft picks (7 in the first two rounds) Alabama '21: 10 draft picks (8 in the first two rounds) Of course that only includes draft eligible players, if you look at draft results the year after a national championship, it's usually a pretty similar picture. So basically what Nagy is selling is that he can double the hit rate of the very best talent identifiers AND talent developers every single year because... he learned so much watching pro bowls? No one has ever tried deploying this strategy at a blue chip school? Just trust me bro?
  17. I was assuming that was a case of making the transfer "earn" his spot, similar to Shannon running out at first team (if you can call what he does running).
  18. Odd not to see McCutcheon listed on second team given all the reporting around him.
  19. Yeah kind of a weird situation where I don't hate Elko or Venables. Might be projecting, but I feel like Elko really gets how ludicrous the whole aggie thing is and he helps keep multiple diners and liquor stores in our state in business. In Venables' case, I love the guy. He's a complete lunatic and presents no threat to Texas. You can nitpick, but I don't think he's a terrible person by P5 head coach standards. He's clearly suffering from severe CTE, holds hilarious press conferences and is sabotaging our chief rival to the point where they'll need years to recover.
  20. If Mosley is as good as Wingo and Moore like Gerry suggests that would be something... we just need the OL to be solid in pass pro and this offense will be elite.
  21. Probably pretty fuckin significant because he’d need a team of 6000 scouts to compete with our current roster building by identifying under recruited three stars.
  22. What’s so funny about the “money ball” approach is that it’s what literally every school that’s not Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, Bama, Miami, etc. already does and has been doing for years. Credit to Nagy for thinking up the “what if we just recruited three stars but only ones that are are good” strategy. Can’t wait to see how that turns out.
  23. 13,000 posts on surlyhorns.com is the hallmark of a guy who's just too busy to tune into commitment ceremonies.
  24. Agree with all this, but I'd go a step further and say he might not be playing with better talent on offense. WSU had a really nice receiving corp last year, easily better than what OU is rolling out in 25. I have no recollection of their TEs, but I genuinely can't imagine a TE room that's worse than OU's. I do think Mateer is a good quarterback, but also think it's substantially more likely that he has a rough year than an all-conference year.
