  1. The DB situation is getting weird to me. No visitors on these lists. We're pretty much cooking at every single position except DB. Only commits are a guy that may be a future LB and our lowest-rated guy (I know they like him). No HS prospects they really like? Joseph and Gideon hibernating? Some serious top secret shit going on?
  2. Caleigh seems nice. I have no idea what that hand signal is supposed to be.
  3. Wonder what the order is on their DL board. Walter Mathis is a fucking wrecking ball but he doesn't have ideal size IMO.
  4. “Week to week” means “We don’t need him against this week’s cupcake so he’s gonna rest. Beyond that we prefer not to tell OU and Georgia shit.”
  5. Mbatchou’s film is pretty meh to me. Obviously the frame is incredible and every major program is going crazy for him right now, so clearly I don’t know shit. Just wondering why he’s a priority take now and not a guy that goes to Mississippi State and then turns into a big NIL bidding war in 3 years.
  6. Put it straight into my fucking veins Although to be a little bit of a wet blanket, national recruits with no prior connection cold calling the coaches are almost never truly serious. Sounds like NIL agents doing their due diligence.
  7. Would the 7th layer of Hell have Royer's? I don't think so.
  8. Doesn't show up in the box score but Juan Davis did a ton of dirty work for us.

    Ant man!

    ...is a fucking menace. I didn't find a dedicated thread. It's probably named something stupid and not at all witty. I was watching this analysis video posted by @LTtxfan in another thread. Specifically the play that starts at 5:22. In the TV broadcast, I'm pretty sure Klatt criticized Orji for making a bad read on that play. But watching it over, to my eyes, it just looks like Anthony Hill just responds to this play perfectly and gives Orji two bad choices. He makes a move to the outside to force Orji to hand it off but has the athleticism and the awareness to immediately crash down and tackle Orji anyway. The pulling guard could have detonated him and didn't, but if I'm not mistaken, that's not what the G is supposed to do on this play. I think he's looking for the LB. Anyway this just stuck out at me because I remember the blame was put on Orji during the broadcast, and Michigan fans have been criticizing the power read plays with Orji. But I think this was a lot more on Hill being incredible.
  10. NHC has been moving it east with every update. Landfall at Vermilion bay in the 10 am update. Good for Houston, bad for LA.
  11. AirPods are cool when they work but I think between my wife and I we’ve had 3 pairs crap out on us with regular use. I’m out on them.
  12. Hicks has kinda quietly had a very nice NFL career. $43 million earned (and counting) and a Super Bowl ring. One of our better players from a pretty dark era of Texas football.
  13. Buddy if we ain't worrying about the numbers, what are we even doing here?
  14. It’s like an NFL fight greatest hits collection. We’ve got Raiders/Chargers, a guy sleeping, fat chicas throwing hands. Starting the season off by playing the classics.
  15. Lions just fucking bullied them in OT.
  16. You probably mean this: https://docs.google.com/file/d/1TzoBTIvCXfZIk7Sz3C9txMg0yPvrXyVM/edit?usp=docslist_api&filetype=msexcel As always, props to @AP101S, who created and maintains it. Should be pinned at the top of the recruiting board, IMO.
  17. Their lack of talent was pretty jarring. The TE and a couple of the pieces on D could play for a contender, that’s about it. Reading their fan boards, the cupboard is bare among sophomores and freshmen too. They love Harbaugh now but they may reevaluate him eventually. Seems like he burned this motherfucker to the ground on his way out.
  18. That Michigan blogger told me last week that they had a million "dangermen" and we had like 2. Incredible that we managed to beat them with such a wild mismatch in talent.
  19. I heard Mbatchou has never actually laid eyes on a football before. He’s more like a theoretical construct, really.
  20. First big forecasting miss of the season on this one. ”Nothing to see here” ”Nothing to see here” ”Nothing to see here” “Oh shit tropical storm into Houston”
  21. I never doubted Kenny Baker for a second. Elite hire. All according to plan.
