Alrighty, that’s enough baseball bullshit. 

Yup, definitely going to have to choose. He’s here on football scholarship and if he chooses baseball then that’s best for the football program because of buy in.

When did he "re-injure" his hamstring, and when is his expected return?

He injured it twice during baseball season, and it happened again sometime like a week or two into camp. 

I don't have any info, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's just redshirted for the year. Otherwise, maybe SEC play.

I didn't hear about camp.  That sucks.  Dude is electric.

It wasn't a big deal that was made about it, he just kept being held out and folks said "it's the hamstring again."

That was a pass from Manning too. You can tell because Wingo is downfield catching the ball and running after the catch.

Wanted to rep with both laugh and rage emojis.

"As I asked in my Ifs List, however, what if Manning is merely very good? What if he flashes epic upside -- like he did against UTSA, completing passes of 75, 51 and 36 yards and ripping off a 67-yard touchdown run in less than 30 snaps -- but also gets fooled at times, like he did against Louisiana-Monroe (and in cameos against Georgia and Florida)? What if he needs an unproven receiving corps to bail him out and an unproven offensive line to protect him more?"
Fair write up. Arch will struggle but if he can scramble for first / touch downs look out.

Anyone expecting more than typical first year starter shenanigans (flashes of brilliance followed by flashes of wtf) is going to be disappointed. That said, I think Sark has collected enough high quality that if Arch struggles at times we still win games we struggle based on sheer talent level. I'll take it either way.

If we are pre-season number 1 it will be hype like we have never seen before, mainly because we have never been pre-season number 1 before (I was kinda shocked by that). 
Shit, you're right. I would have thought at least one of DKR teams would have been pre-season #1, but nope.

Well, regarding Saturday:  both teams have many of the same question marks.  I'll take our QB who has 2 starts over theirs who doesn't.  After that, we have three relative cupcakes which should help solidify Arch + offense for the rest of the season.

I'll be disappointed if the 2nd Teamers don't get to play at least a half in the next 3 games

Yeah.  I think we will have fewer periods where our offense doesn't do shit for a whole quarter with Arch than we did with Quinn.

Texas is not playing an away game at Army or Navy lmao. 

Army’s Michie stadium is the single most beautiful cfb stadium in the country. And it isn’t even remotely close.

One of my cousins played football for Army.  I regret never going to one of their home games:

Michie Stadium in upstate New York is home to the United States Military  Academy (West Point) football team. It is dramatically situated along the  Hudson River and opened in 1924.

Feels pretty useless to use a redshirt on a guy who is likely not sticking around in college to play football for 5 years.

I think you try to see if he can become a special teams guy this year.

Screw that. He's a spark for the baseball team. He's a very talented athlete - he can handle both.

Based off the impact he had this year in baseball in limited action, and also our DB depth, I'd probably prefer he choose baseball if he had to choose one sport. That's blasphemy on the football board, I know.

I wouldn't trade special teams for a guy who can legit crush it for the baseball team. 

You convince him that long term that hammy needs a break. We're not hurting at Safety. Either he's getting legit reps because he's healthy or it's a waste. I mean unless he's xavier worthy on returns.

We don't need football players hurt because they are playing intramurals.

Current evidence suggests otherwise. Also, didn’t expect him to be competing for return duties. Must be faster than I thought.

I don't know anything, but my gut tells me Steve Sarkisian the former college baseball player is going to be patient with whatever decision Jonah Williams wants to make, regardless of how we feel about it.

He didn't finish his senior season because of injuries. Goes into baseball at Texas and gets injured. Goes into football and gets injured in the first week of camp. 

Yeah, this dude can't handle both.

NIL may play a factor in forcing a decision, yeah?
