This is what is so damn frustrating with this country. Out of 100 total Senators we have 49 Dem Senators that will vote for a bill and 2 Dem Senators that won't. We also have 49 Republican Senators all who won't vote for a bill. The media and then the dumb ass people of this country blame the Dems instead of asking the question to why you have 49 Republicans not willing to vote for a bill. Yeah, yeah, I know. The Republicans won't vote for anything to give the Dems/Biden any kind of win but at some point it would be nice for the media to actually call those fuckers out on that over and over again so it can maybe resonate with the people of this country.

Didn’t you hear from he Pats thread last night that Belichick is a total fraud?

And we told him we are already full at LB so no thanks?

So who are the options to portal in to help the D from a LB and DE perspective. If the coaches (including Sark) trot the same players out there next year with the same results then they should all be fired. Guys like Brock are not good enough to play Div 1 and aren’t going to magically get better this offseason.

Just wait until next week or maybe the week after. He doesn’t get to play against this defense every week. So glad I get to have the two teams I root for (Pats and Horns) field laughable defenses this year.

It’s too bad they don’t still have Tom Brady. He may be the fastest player they could field right now on their defense.

You couldn’t be more of an idiot if you tried. The Pats are a rebuilding team with a rookie QB and they won 10 games and made the playoffs. His defense is old with no speed so you could argue Belichick the GM is a fraud. I’m not even that mad at this point as they are just not that good of a team yet.

I haven't looked closely at all the school rankings but my kid is about to start this process of picking a school in the next year. The issue with Texas is, let's say he wants to go to Business school. If he gets into UT but not their business school I am not sure going to business school at Tech, UTSA, Houston is as good as say getting into a business school at another state's major university (not just SEC schools but all over the country). I also know it depends where you want to live after college as a Maryland degree may be better up in Maryland than say in TX.

(Not about athletics just regular students) I have friends in The Woodlands whose kid is at Arkansas because of this. I think the main problem the state of TX has is that after UT what schools are really that good to send your kids to compared to a state school like Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, etc…. Assuming your kid doesn’t want to go to College Station that leaves Tech? Private schools like SMU, Baylor and TCU? UH? For such a large state the public colleges kind of suck after UT compared to say a California where the UC system seems to have great schools up and down the state.

I’m at the Fort Lauderdale airport and they have 3 bottles of Blantons for $75 each in the Duty Free store. I tried to buy them but apparently you have to be leaving the country to purchase them. I never buy in duty free so I guess I didn’t know the rules. Pisses me off.

This is sadly the truth. The right wing media is hammering away at the country that Biden is the worst president ever and the country has fallen apart under him compared to the previous guy. By the time of the 2024 election half the country will have pitch forks going after Biden even if they themselves are doing great. As an example, I was with some Trumpers the other night and they were complaining how Biden is destroying the economy and its killing them personally. These people are what you would call rich and seem to have no problem buying a new car recently, going to Fiji on vacation and eating out every other night and posting it on Facebook yet apparently their lives are falling apart. It’s all what they believe because Fox News tells them to believe it. I will give one other thing I noticed just this morning. All the networks are talking about inflation/consumer prices rose to the highest level since 1982. Fox News pundits were blaming the President and it’s all his fault and how horrible he is. That is fine but it seems to me in 1982 there was a President that all the Republicans seem to think was the greatest ever. An intelligent person can see that you can’t say Reagan was great and the inflation in 1982 wasn’t his fault but Biden sucks and the inflation in 2022 is all his fault. Unfortunately we are not dealing with intelligent people in this country and the Dems suck at messaging while the Republicans are experts at messaging.

I see you are doing the reverse reverse jink huh?

I think you can consider LSU’s national championship as having something to show for their recruiting, no? I do agree with you but I think it has been shown that TX recruiting rankings were highly flawed. I am surprised Ohio State has that #14 ranking but I wonder if even in that class they had some serious studs but just not quanitity or something.

Isn’t it pretty obvious that when you have the ability to stack your roster with NFL talent compared to all the other schools playing with players that will never sniff the NFL then you can out talent most teams which means you will win most of your games and be in position to get selected for the playoffs. Unfortunately I do think A&M is doing this now and with a few more classes like this one they will be the same as the 4 schools above. I also think they will replace Clemson as their talent level has taken a downturn if you look closely at their D over the past few years. Good players there but not stacked with NFL talent like Bama and Georgia are right now. Also, I hate Bama but I am not sure how much Bama has to do illegal to get the top players at this point because they can give a factual pitch that if you go there you will get a national championship, visibility to the NFL and they will develop your talent to play in the NFL which is really the goal of most if not all of these kids.

So now that the football season is over is it actually possible that we don’t bring in a WR or 2 plus a LB or 2 via the portal? I mean, I would call that malpractice by the staff to not be able to get some decent players at those spots with immediate playing time available at a blue blood program (yeah I know we have sucked for a decade plus but still).

He is kind of right but should have also given more credit to his opponent. You know say something like they have a great Defense and they really played a great game tonight to go with his bitching about both WR’s blowing their knees out.

Saban really didn’t give much credit to Georgia just now. Usually, the losing coach says the other team is great and played a great game and his team needs to play better and he needs to coach better. He really didn’t acknowledge them.

Used Michigan as an example. Could have been any of the 100 teams not being Ohio State, Bama and Georgia. I would add Clemson but they seemed to have slowed down in the buying of players at that level. A&M took their place. Yes all teams pay players but there is a difference between most teams and the 3-4 I just named since they are just loading up on high 4 and 5 stars up and down their roster to a level way more than everyone else.

Cardale Jones?

This plus BoB play calling will doom any QB. I thought their QB threw some pretty good balls that decent WR’s would catch and this game may have looked different. I am glad Bama lost but seeing another team that has all NFL talent on their D by playing the “bag game” and buying players kind of sucks. Would have rather a MI type team win instead of a Bama, GA, Ohio State loaded with more talent than everybody else combined.

The heart and soul of World Series championship teams and a HOF DH?

So the offensive play calls was 3 long passes? Brutal.

It would be good for both college and the NFL.
