  1. I respect the swagger of anyone who posts their own highlights on Youtube as a Freshman and calls themselves the #1 RB in the nation
  2. He isn't Fritz (yet), but I'm pretty high on Sumrall's potential. He just has limited experience as a head coach.
  3. Yeah it does seem like a disastrous combo, but there was a report out there that Bill has forged a good relationship with Jerry and Stephen over the years at the Owners meetings and other league functions and if Bill is trying to break the wins record and coach a team in win now mode it makes sense. Still skeptical it doesn't blow up, but it seems like a very real possibility. To keep it on topic, I'd be surprised if Nielsen is the guy for Texas. He was relatively obscure as a position coach in Nola, but his work this year in Atlanta was good enough for him to get another DC job somewhere.
  4. Arthur Blank is obsessed with Bill Belichick and really wants to hire him. Belichick is waiting to see what jobs come open from playoff teams who decide to move on from their coaches. If/When Jerry fires McCarthy there's a more than good chance Belichick ends up in Dallas. If Belichick does take the Atlanta job, he'll bring in his own people. If he doesn't, it would not be surprising at all if the Falcons hang on to Nielsen. He did a really good job with that defense this year.

    Why did Zimmerman break the wall?

    Looked like it was the other way around. He was there clean up the rebound, but Vazquez didn't know he was there and went for it.
  7. "They win. I just see them on TV. I don’t know much about Texas.” First sentence tracks with the third one.
  8. The 2023 class is sick and this staff has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to recruiting so if they like this kid it's cool, it's still WILD that Texas offered a kid without so much as a recruiting page a scholarship 10 days before NSD2. It's not a criticism at all. Just kinda crazy circumstance.
  9. Roman Reigns was listed at 6'3 in college at Georgia Tech. John Cena is listed at 6'1.
  10. If we don't sign Mark Henry's son somebody's gonna get their ass kicked.
  11. With AD Mitchell, Neyor and Cook our receiver room is completely transformed and I hope this means Sark can use Whittington more creatively. I think he's a guy they can give a Deebo Samuel type role which they couldn't do this past year because the receiver room was so poor.
  12. Don't spend a lot of time on Surly these days so I didn't know there were Derry Girls fans in here, but the scene in season 3 where is one of the most laugh out loud bits I've seen in a TV show in recent years.
  13. I watched the show for the first time this week and loved it. I think Carmy eventually wanted to make it a profitable, good restaurant. He's also in no spot to fully achieve what he wants to because he hasn't dealt with the trauma of his brother's death. He can very clearly compartmentalize things which is how achieved the greatness as a chef that he did, but he clearly struggles with a lot of things and it's likely due to the trauma he hasn't dealt with. Slowly he gets the restaurant from a beloved shithole to a functional joint, but I think the plan was always to make it something elevated.
  14. Nashville really doing numbers with an airport that has 20 percent of the passengers Atlanta has.
  15. It's also mind blowing that they started Cole Hutson the entire season over DJ Campbell. If Hutson had the leg up because he enrolled early, fine, but his play never warranted him being the starter all year and leaving the #1 OL recruit on the bench behind a bad player all year in the era of the transfer portal is just insanely stupid. Let Campbell take his lumps. His upside is just so significantly higher.
  16. The window dressing in college football has changed over the 150+ years of the sport, but the fundamental truth that has always existed exists to this day: the mean, nastier, more physical teams at the line of scrimmage are the teams that are going to win most football games. That's been the problem for Texas for the past 10+ years and is the problem now and the problem is two fold. At the granular level, while there's a lot of talented young players on the o-line, they don't have anybody with a mean, nasty mentality in that group right now. They get pushed around in the run game far too easily and for all the plaudits Kyle Flood came to Texas with, the offensive line in two years has yet to look like they can move bodies in the run game. At the philosophical level, it doesn't help when the head coach views a four yard gain as a negative. Sark is so quick to abandon the run game at the first sight of any trouble. Did it in Stillwater this year when Ewers couldn't hit water from a boat. Didn't even try to establish any kind of run game against a putrid run defense last night. Starting Keilan Robinson as your every down between-the-tackles back was a joke. He certainly has a role in this offense and that ain't it. Until Texas can get back to mauling people up front, this is a program with a 8-9 win ceiling.
  17. Was pretty cool how on that field goal drive not a single goddamn person in burnt orange player or coach and the slightest sense of urgency. Just wasting so much time. Just stellar shit.
  18. The was such a good drop from Terrance Brooks Sark is going to move him to receiver.
  19. "Do you stay dedicated to the run?" Motherfucker they never started.
  20. Washington is 106th in the country in rush defense success rate and 91st in defensive opportunity rate (pct of rushes that go for 4+ yards) this is a defensive line that sucks shit through a straw and our o-line hasn't been able to generate any push in the rare times are dumb ass coach has tried to run the ball. Kyle Flood has a great reputation as an o-line coach, but that unit has just got to get a ton better without 5 to bail them out.
  21. Wouldn't blame Pete K if he beat seven shades of shit out of everyone on the offensive coaching staff at halftime.
  22. If they're blowing up the opposing team's passing game then I don't give a fuck.
