    Is this the play that hit Casey Cain in the hands? I can’t remember.  If so, Sark dialed up a play where the WR is wide open and QB throws it on the money and the WR simply bobbles and drops it.  

    Darrell Royal and James Street would like a word.

    I think Tennessee gets Bama today. They're due, and this all the markings of a Late Saban Era loss. Knoxville will go nuts. I'm not sure Hunter makes it out of town without a new bag and committing.

    It also has the makings of "Bama is vulnerable, Lane Kiffin's gonna torch em" only to have Saban get pissed and burn the Rebels to the ground......

    Damn so we’re finally acknowledging Collins as a bust. Who was the poster on here that championed him as a future 1st round pick, the same poster also said Byron Vaughn was the next big thing lol. 

    Not certain we can fully go that direction.  I mean there were prominent posters on this board who wanted to trapdoor Coburn last year....Then again who knows.

    I have a lot of friends and some family who are Aggies.  They are all smart and successful people. Granted, these are mostly professionals and business owners who live in the nicer parts of Houston proper?

    Where do they get the mentally handicapped people who populate Texags and other A&M message boards.  Are Cypress, Katy and Tomball just full of these yokels?

    Same place we find most of the posters on the football board.

  5. I don't know what Arch will do.  I do know the Mannings are very aware of Brand and Legacy.  Both Eli and Peyton could have left after their Jr Years and probably been number 1 picks but chose to stay 4 years in College.  A college player, especially at a blue blood like UT, undoubtedly has a bigger brand and legacy if they stay all 4 years then if they leave after 3.  Whether or not that difference in legacy/brand between 3 years and 4 years is worth it to the Mannings I have no idea.

    But without a doubt Vince's legacy would have been way bigger if he had come back his Sr. year and won the heisman and a 2nd title, who knows he might have gotten drafter by a better team also.  Arch certainly doesn't have the financial need to get to the NFL as soon as possible and playing the QB position, he shouldn't have the usage concern before he gets to the league that say a RB has.  

    Again, no idea what Arch and them will do.  I can say if I was sitting on the financial position the Mannings enjoy and you told me I could spend another year at UT or go to the NFL......I'd stick around another year in Austin.

    In a thread on whether or not King is in a boot. (Think this poster is an ex aggie player.)

    In all honesty they did something to Calzada in that tent.  One moment he was dying and couldn't walk after timeout he was fine.

     

    Pretty sure King was concussed that last drive anyway.

    Because I realize without a very good QB it is extremely difficult to win big in modern CFB. I was never high on King, Calzada, or Mond but I'm extremely bullish on Weigman. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Jumbo is forced to make some changes to the offense if it flutters throughout the season which all of us obviously do not want to see. Other than that, they have a lot of pieces in place already in the trenches/skill positions to make a playoff run starting next season. 

     

    Forced by who?  Are the bag men who love Jimbo for being Jimbo gonna stop writing checks?

     

    Cause that is about the only leverage there is....

  8. ESPN put up a somewhat interesting article on NIL deals per school and what schools released info.

     

    For all of Saban's calls for transparency Bama released nothing.

    Unsurprisingly not only did LSU release nothing but got the state of Louisiana to pass a law protecting NIL deals from open records requests.

    Kentucky passes a law that allows athletes to nullify NIL deals when they go pro and makes NIL contracts sealed documents.

    ATM has 4.2 mill in NIL of which 3.4 goes to football.

    Ohio state has 3 mill of which 2.7 goes to football

    We have $879,000 in NIL for football but apparently with that excluding the 4 largest contracts for some reason. Softball was 2nd at like 257k.

    Oregon told ESPN and the NCAA to fuck off on requesting NIL figures.

    And this bit of genius from the secretary of education to top it off, he'slooking at it through title IX:

     

    ""Some of the concerns I have is that it's going to be the male athletes getting paid and [the] just-as-committed, just-as-hard-working women athletes, not. ... Universities must adapt and create structures that are monitoring this, that are communicating what they're doing to proactively create equity," he said.

     

    Genius... ya'll tried that once with facilities donations from private donors and the courts told yall title IX can't be applied to private donations.....these are private contracts.....good lord .  You can require the schools to provide equal access to NIL opportunities,  but you can't make private entities donate money to sports that they don't want to.

    Bro, how can you dudes be so ass blasted by some dumbass coachspeak lmao???

    Sark literally ripped a page directly out of the Aggy Moral Victory playbook, said the words, wiped his ass with it and ate it after the Alabama game. I might have made part of that sentence up, who's to know.

    Coaches say stupid shit constantly to try and motivate their players or whatever the fuck. If you pay any attention to it you're literally just clowning yourself.

    Except that's not coach speak.  Coach speak is literally saying a bunch of words that don't mean anything and being bland and vanilla and not saying anything.

     

    What McGuire said is akin to going full Coach O......never go full Coach O

    Card is a decent, average, college QB. Quinn is potentially a great college QB. As soon as he's healthy, he starts. Card didn't lose the game last week, but he could have won it. He played well tonight, but we should have blown them out, but Card isn't good enough to do that. 

    Card would be no liability filling in for ewers if we had a competent DC....He's a backup.
