  1. One of the troubling things with “media” these days is when some dumbfuck on a podcast makes a provocative take (who knows the veracity) and all the other shitty fake news sites take the alleged “news” or “scoop” and run with it. Thanks to the internet and platforms like MSN and Yahoo aggregating these stories from sources like Fansided or EssentiallySports or formerly legit companies like Athlon Sports and Sports Illustrated, written usually by fan correspondents or AI, they are now indistinguishable from organizations that hire professionals who work beats and have multiple sources before they report. So now, there are multiple retellings of the “Blue is Lazy” narrative, enough so Jaydon had to come out and respond to it. A teammate even called it bullshit. All I know is, Jerry Jones’ grandson was Blue’s former teammate at Texas, and he would have put the kibosh on the pick if Blue was a known problem. And when one of the recent signees (I think it was Rickey Stewart) was asked about watching practice during his recruitment, he spoke of how Tashard Choice told him to, “Watch #23, do what he’s doing,” so Choice loved him. Blue is kinda a different dude, and had the known issues in high school, but he managed to keep his head on straight for the entirety of his stay in Austin. As a Cowboy fan, I’m hoping that continues and he is utilized in a way that maximizes his skill set. If so, I think he can be a big asset.
  2. Wow, that’s a helluva way live your life… and end it.
  3. Kirby Smart’s been chirping for a week and half about maintaining his team’s culture. Calicut shows Smart is a man of his word.
  4. That literally may be the weirdest fucking thing I’ve ever seen. Animatronics are more lifelike. His lips seem to be mouthing the correct lyrics, which is saying something, though I’m sure no sound is actually coming out. Wow, fascinating.
  5. That might be AI, since I’m not sure she’s said a word on camera all season. What’s the on-camera breakdown so far? I don’t know, spitballing: 35% Jimmy 20% Rachel 10% Weird backpacker David Cross chick (may actually be higher) 10% Crying Filipino Baseball “Star” 10% Keanu 5% Vince 5% Shower girl 5% Zae + everyone else
  6. In the graphic above, the Tennessee-looking “T” is supposed to represent us? (Ok, I see the posts below, he didn’t take an official to us, but he apparently did make an unofficial, maybe two. I may have been thrown off by the intent of the graphic by Dbeasy’s comment.)
  7. That ugly fuck can take a hit, I will give him that.
  8. His father said they (Texas) talked about his skill set AND compared his build to Robinson, so a body comparison, not skills comp.
  9. Hayes Fawcett really broke up the word “Committed” in his edit like this: COMM ITTED lol Hook ‘em, Derrek.
  10. Don’t know who’s more disappointed, Miami or Harvdog for trying to beat out Getafix to have the first post. Everyone knows this is Geta’s full time job.
  11. He cut the tortillas after they were fried? Did he invent crumbos?
  12. Wow, kid looks awesome. I hope we have a chance but I’m sure Brian Hartline will have something to say about it. Let’s hope he doesn’t like cold weather or jorts.
  13. What gives you any indication Texas is “really pissed off?” I’ve seen nothing of the kind. And he announced his Sunday commitment about a week ago, so I don’t think there’s been any stringing along as he’s shopping for a better deal. Sure, he’s probably interested in what the market brings, but that’s what he should be doing, especially if he could see himself playing at multiple universities.
  14. Chip, your argument would have been a lot stronger had you not named Ole Miss.
  15. Great, now I have Paul Simon circulating in my brain…
  16. Time for self-flagellation? That passed long ago for you, Banana. By now you should be only a bloody lump with barely any energy to lift the scourge one more time. Ok, in retrospect, that may be a touch harsh, who’s ready for some football?
  17. Awaiting Cooper tomorrow. Would like Benjamin 8/2, perhaps we’ll surprise.
  18. Holy shit, how long has he been your avatar?
  19. The criticism was for the Aggie bonfire reference, you must know this.
  20. You’re right, I see McShay has him at #30 to the Buffalo Bills. Hell, I hope he becomes DeVonta Smith and wins the freaking Heisman and goes much higher than that, it means we had a great season. But McShay also has six Clemson players in the first round, which would be the greatest number by any team, ever. They have some dudes, but that ain’t happening. He also has Ant Hill at something like 19, our only other first rounder. If we have a season like we expect to have, perhaps someone else elevates… Goosby maybe. Ok, back to recruiting lol.
  21. I like DeAndre Moore just fine, mainly as the dude who strives to be the culture ambassador for the team (learning from JWhitt, who learned from Roschon), and he improved greatly last year. But he needs to be a lot more consistent before he’s considered a first rounder, unless I’ve missed some mocks that would surprise the hell out of me. I hope he becomes Golden-like this year, it will only be good for the team. And Arch will be the first to tell you he doesn’t yet deserve some of the praise he gets.
