  1. Not quite a doctor talk not going away
  2. Nature is a collection of equilibria. Perturbations from an equilibrium can occur, but the restoring forces kick in and cause a return to the ground state. Aggy will never fall so far as to become a perennial 3-win team. They will never become a regular playoff team. They are doomed to ride the roller coaster forever. The guilty pleasure lies in knowing they will base their expectations off of their greatest upward deviations from their mean and in watching their chagrin when their expected glory inevitably fails to materialize.
  3. Fewer chains, more Mickey hands
  4. I hope he’s wrong here, but Klatt got a lot of sense knocked into him in that ccg.
  5. Do or die because they’ll play us.
  6. They still have much of that talented 22 class. There is significant talent in their small 23 class. Their bmd guys are aggy and will come around enough to buy some second-tier filler in the spring. They only play 4 true road games. They will be talented enough to win 7-8 games next year, including one they shouldn’t. They won’t ever duplicate the ‘success’ of 22, but they will persistently bob back up to top 15 classes and play well enough to ruin a good team’s season every few years.
  7. There's really no urgent timing as long as [next scapegoat] is on staff and ready for duty by circa 2 minutes left in the Bama game next year.
  8. Balanced offensive skill class with at least one recruit at every single position: Marginal top-300 QB - check (will be viewed by many as program's savior by mid-season 2023) Flaky RB - check TE - check ATH - check
  9. Hookem and Godspeed! You will never have to answer for what you gave or did not for your school.
  10. Wait. Was anyone actually hoping for anything but miserable failure for Baylor?
  11. 3-4? It only feels like 50 coaches and 100 years. I could not stand the “weather the storm” or whatever BS even when we were recruiting well. Coaches that downplay the RRS are categorically wrong when they do.
  12. Put him in his place. After years of languishing under Stoops and Riley, BV has the Sooners up to 6 wins in year one.
  13. Funnier if he portaled out after spring ball instead.
  14. Two schools I was a little surprised not to see with higher ranked classes were USC and Michigan. I get that USC is getting some talent from the portal, but last I checked, 247 had both behind aggy despite aggy’s smaller class.
  15. Weeding out the religiously bigoted comments here will be a long process.
  16. Correct. I was referring to cougar high and Baylor but wanted to be sure to mention the rapists by name.
  17. Just think: there exists a non-zero probability that, as early as the season after next, we will be in a conference that 1. pays us $40M or more extra per year in TV money than we would have here 2. forced aggy to vote to take us after clem swore we'd never be allowed 3. does not have a pool of officials conditioned to penalize us 14-0 against our conference mates 4. does not include Baylor or any Houston-metro schools infamous for their crappy stadium/bleachers (B/CS isn't metro, is it?) 5. will retain the OU game and not make us use an OOC date for it 6. already has its bogeymen well established 7. will never feature ISU in the CCG 8. will never require us to play in Manhattan, KS or the state of West Virginia 9. like the rest of NCAA, now lets us actually spend in the open rather than surrender to money bags, and 10. Was not cooked up by DD in a toxic stew of Texas politician interference in an otherwise already doomed marriage of convenience to the dying schools of yesterday's midwest.
  18. The candy lei jokes will not die out soon
  19. As he makes millions for being on the sideline, he is shocked to see players getting their thousands for making and taking the hits. His innocence is now lost forever.
  20. If the rumor that Iger is under pressure to sell off ABC and ESPN is true, I wonder how that may affect negotiations for Texas/OU to SEC for '24.
  21. It used to be so cool to be named for cheaters and thieves, to have success built on the ethics of the likes of Switzer, and summarized so well by their own university ----ing president (G. Cross) as trying to have a university the football team could be proud of. But now the principal activity that gave them their entree into the world of winning at college football, paying players openly, is available to all the teams that worked for years to be as clean as they could. Dang how the game has been corrupted! Cry me a river!
  22. You've got a guy who has been accustomed to calling the shots for years, looks to be just shy of 5 and a half feet tall, is well into middle age, doesn't exactly have a successful marriage to boost his self-esteem, and is locked into a guaranteed contract running into 9 figures. The word on the street was that he "had" to hire an OC, that he had been "forced" into it. For some little men, trying to prove (to themselves or whomever) that they are "the man" is more important than it might be to you or to me, even all-important. The longer this OC shenanigan runs, the more it looks like JF showing whomever that no one forces his hand-- no one. Whatever ending the OC "search" finally has will be something JF can spin as something he desired from soup to nuts (or his departure).
  23. Not to argue, but maybe they plan to money-whip a CFP team waterboy or something to go along with the enticement of the promotion to OC for a SITTING CHAMPIONSHIP COACH.
  24. Complaining about tampering is like reserving your outrage that your girlfriend cheats on you for the guy who asked her out.
