The 2024 Detroit Tigers thread
I've been thinking about making a post. Let's make it happen this year.

Referring to John Rocker as a former MLB "star" is quite a stretch.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
To quote the great @Rholl, I don't know shit about shit, but based on visits/offers/reporting so far it sure seems like they'd like Turntine + 1 other true OT + 1 swing guy. So far everyone is in agreement that this is going to be a load up year at OL. I'm sure they're selling all the tackles on the fact that we're getting two tackles drafted very high in the same year.

Trump Administration- Specific Legal Challenges
Twenty-two attorneys general sued over the NIH cuts. Of course, shitbag Ken Paxton would never, ever lift a finger against his dear leader in order to fight for funding for important biomedical institutions in his own state.

Post Malone
I’ve yet to hear a single Post Malone song - in any genre - that is in any way interesting to me. And that’s fine.

2026 OT Maximus Wright
I like the frame. Let him eat and lift for two years and maybe you end up with a 6'6" 330 lb monster.

This year's Nate Kibble situation? "Hey buddy, it would probably be in your best interest to go ahead and jump on this offer"

What will happen if the Trump Administration ignores a Supreme Court ruling?
Apologies if this has been discussed in other threads. I assume that Thomas and Alito are down for whatever, but my guess is that some of this stuff will eventually be a bridge too far for Roberts and one of the others. At that point we have a showdown. Given how far the wheels are off already, the fact that Congress won't do shit, and the amount of loyalists that have been packed into the administration, it seems inevitable that Trump will eventually just say "nah, I'm not going to abide by that" if something doesn't go his way. What then? Has that ever happened in history?

I didn't count the total, but Gerry said 31 in the opening text. I just counted myself and got 28. Let's demand our $9.95 back.

15/31 from out of state. (6 FL, 3 CA, 3 GA, 1 MS, 1 LA, 1 AL) For comparison, it was 10/25 in the 2025 class and 10/22 in 2024.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
My recollection is that the guys last year were backup plans after we whiffed or got outbid on higher profile targets. Obviously it worked out OK. The guys this year seem like they were higher priorities from the get go. Whether that ends up meaning anything or not remains to be seen, of course.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
Doesn’t quite look as good in this outfit though: To keep this a little on topic, I assume that guys reclassifying will become a bigger thing with NIL as it is. Anyone ever seen any data on how those guys tend to do? My guess is that for every Ryan Williams, there’s several guys who aren’t actually ready for college at 17 and need a year or two to get bigger/stronger.

Transfer Cycle 2024-2025 - Stop Being Poor
Yesterday morning Bobby reported that Kanu was "on his way to Georgia" for a visit. CTJ said that Georgia mods expected him to spend multiple nights there. Then he commits to us this morning. Did he literally commit to us while on a tour of Georgia's facilities? "Hold up Coach Smart, gotta send a text real fast. OK, you were saying?"

Site improvements
The surlyx thing is 150 fucking million times better than Twitter embeds. Mainly because I can actually see them at work versus Twitter, which is blocked. The recruiting threads make sense now. Thanks @immamac, great feature.

What do y’all see as the ideal 5 or 6 man OL class? Turntine and Ojo seems pretty easy but how do you fill it out from there?

I just watched Ojo's tape, now that we have a Fong bomb. Prototypical size/body for a tackle, moves great, and he's a nasty motherfucker. His feet and balance are kind of a mess, but I assume that can be cleaned up. I know I'm not splitting the atom here, but he's a take all day. I rate him a 4-star+^* on the tokamak scale (^* is equal to half a +).
