Make fun of us olds all you want, but what song did they use in that promo video? Thats right, Guns N fucking Roses.

Charlie Strong’s and Tom Herman’s inability to develop high-end WR talent at Texas during the ‘10s should definitely play into Moore’s decision making process here.

Watching these dipshits, who cheated their asses off for years, whine about Texas using its resources to attract and keep talent will never not be incredibly enjoyable.

Nah, they’re better than the tired, cliche, boring, played-out all-black unis that will be worn by the Lions, Jets, Cardinals, Commanders, Eagles, etc. Those are awful. (Falcons, Saints, Ravens actually have (and have always had) black as one of their colors so those are excusable, if still not great.)

Conspiracy theorists are hucksters, charlatans and/or insecure fucking morons. That this may be considered a controversial statement should be embarrassing for our populace.

Oh goody, ags debating what constitutes “racism.” This is certain to feature well thought-out, reasoned and rational exchange.

i didn’t read the article, but exactly what in the fuck does this dipshit not understand? Texas went 12-2, won its conference, made the cfp, had 11 players drafted, returns a bunch more good players. Ags went 7-5 with exactly no impressive wins and paid $75m to fire their coach. He doesn’t understand why the ags aren’t getting discussed much and Texas is? Because of what happened in 2012? wtf

“Quiet confidence” lol. “Quiet” is never an apt descriptor of any feeling any Aggie ever has.

That’s how I felt last July, and every day since.

This reminds me of the time I heard Gary Danielson say during a game that Tim fucking Tebow was the best running QB he had ever seen - about 18 months after the 2006 Rose Bowl. It was astounding.

The first problem with the pick is the opportunity cost of taking Penix: they probably missed out on adding a good starter to the team (like Dallas Turner or Byron Murphy). The second problem is that Penix is probably a backup for the first two years of his rookie deal. A good QB on a rookie deal is the most valuable asset in the nfl. So you don’t get to take full advantage of that. On the other hand, they probably think they’re a playoff team with Cousins (so they won’t be picking high) and they probably only plan to have Cousins for two years (so they’ll need another QB soon). If they really think that Penix is a franchise QB, then it makes sense to take him now because of how much more important the position is than any other. If he really is that good, say a top 10 QB starting in 2026, then it’s a great pick because they probably won’t have an opportunity to get that in two years without spending a huge chunk of the cap or a ton of draft capital. Im not necessarily defending the pick, just saying that I’m not sure it’s as crazy as people are making it out to be.

Good lord. The takeaways from that thread of idiocy are: 1. They appear to believe that the AAS is a Texas fan site. 2. They may be unaware that the transfer portal/NIL impact in college football can lead to situations where a team can add multiple players likely to be drafted in a single offseason. Just spitballing, but maybe 15 won’t actually be that crazy of a number in the future. And maybe Nick Saban’s past, under completely different circumstances, isn’t all that relevant?

I admittedly know very little about the new landscape of things, but I’ve read that OU (and other schools) are strategically setting up to invest in certain sports. My question - isn’t it inevitable that OU will eventually do exactly this (redirect funds from baseball/basketball/softball/whatever toward football) more frequently? Won’t the need to compete in cases exactly like this recruitment result eventually in them ceasing to give a shit about other sports? I suppose there may be specific funding streams invested in specific sports, but seems as though they won’t just let football fall off.

That’s all fine; I think that it’s fair, however, to view some of the things you don’t care about as indicators that he’ll be unsuccessful at the things you do care about. For example - an adult, an NFL Hall of Famer, and a coach in a position of power, deciding it is necessary to publicly belittle a former player. You may not care about the action itself, but what does it say about him? Are successful leaders typically that thin-skinned and petty? Is it really that easy to distract him? You may say that no, one has nothing to do with the other, and that I’m nuts or dramatic. But these types of childish actions don’t give a lot of confidence that this is a serious person or that he has a lot of perspective. And they would thus give me concern if I were in any way invested in his ability to make that a winning program (similar to how Tom Herman’s ridiculous and childish taunting of the Missouri QB gave me concerns about his ability to succeed). I’m not rooting for the guy to fail, but I don’t see why anyone would expect him to thrive. He constructs rosters in a way that has no track record of success and he is publicly childish. Somehow I’m not impressed.

If the author’s methodology (which I haven’t taken the time to try to understand) concludes something that is different than my completely biased preconceived expectation, then they lose all credibility!

If highly-rated recruits go to Texas and don’t get drafted high, then it’s because Texas coaches failed to develop them. If highly-rated recruits go to Texas and do get drafted high, then it’s because they were so physically talented that it was just inevitable (but also they’re overrated anyway). I’ve never encountered a group so dedicated to refusing to acknowledge that things they don’t want to be true about the world may actually be true.

Hopefully Canales can help make Young better. He managed to make Baker look not shitty in TB.

I swear our RBs always get picked by teams with the shittiest QBs.

Maybe years after they retire, but young men regularly engaging in vigorous exercise/training seem unlikely to have metabolic disorders associated with sedentary lifestyle, even if they carry a lot of weight.

I’d be shocked if “quite a few” NFL professional athletes in their 20s and early 30s had type 2 diabetes.
