  1. Yet the terrible targeting rule stays as is I guess? God a hate that fucking thing. There is no more punitive rule in any sport for an action that often happens without any intent and sometimes even outside of the offender's control.
  2. Thank Christ you corrected his "good" to "above average". That gross overstatement of Sam's career just could not stand.
  3. Really subtle humble-brag to remind everyone of how good his bowl performance was. Strong veteran move, we'll see how Card counters.
  4. Yeesh...quite a look. He’ll fit in fine in Ohio honestly. (Unless he flips I’ll then I’ll pretend to be delighted about how funny I think his bleached blonde mullet is.)
  5. Yeah I doubt they would wait this long and then trap door a kid who signed a LOI but Cain would probably be the first on the list. WR is the last place where we need more guys on scholarship that aren't going to produce. Even if the staff identifies Merril as a total JAG they can't really push him out and leave us with a single OL in the class. Thanks Hand!
  6. IT on Denvis Harris: Great news getting him on campus. Wonder if we see that list grow more over the next few days.
  7. There aren't any rumors about it but it's also possible that the coaches are aware of a grades or clearinghouse issue that could keep someone from enrolling and open up another spot I guess. 11 signed guys yet to enroll fwiw. https://247sports.com/college/texas/Season/2021-Football/Commits/
  8. Yeah, pretty odd to offer a NT when we seem deep and talented there and numbers are getting tight. The only thing I can think of is maybe Sweat had some kind of setback in his rehab?
  9. Agreed completely, I though it was great until the ending:
  10. Actually I think this is a good one. She was really good in Winter’s Bone and then started getting huge franchise roles and the David O. Russell Oscar bait-y stuff and she was anointed as a great actress and movie star. Every time I’ve seen her in something after WB, once I stop focusing on how hot she is I usually question her acting chooses and start wondering if she’s actually just bad. Like I said, she was anointed, those nominations don’t mean anything to me. Big fan of Joy? Have you seen American Hustle lately? Silver Linings Playbook is fine but pretty over rated IMO and she doesn’t blow me away in it by any means. She is great in Winter’s Bone so maybe belongs in an “actors who are great in one role but underwhelm from there” thread.
  11. And if he goes to Alabama he’ll have to beat out a two year starter in Bryce Young. Clemson will have Uiagalelei in the same situation. If he really is the third once in a generation talent in the last 5 years I guess that will be no problem. Or he can go to LSU or Miss and be named the starter immediately. If he want to sign with one of the heavy hitters though chances are he sits for at least a year.
  12. Not necessarily. Bryce Young and DJ Uiagalelei were the top two qbs last year and didn’t. Rattler was #1 in 2019 and didn’t. In 2018 the big two were Lawrence (who didn’t outright win the job until a few weeks in) and Fields. Maybe Ewers is on a different level than all those guys except Lawrence but I don’t think Manning is.
  13. Eli Cash is hilarious. His brother is cool though and is probably a better actor.
  14. They held him out but didn't say why. Spring practice reports were pretty positive on him, sounded like there is a good chance he'll be #2 on the depth chart.
  15. JFC, how are we bumping up against the 25 man limit but Lincoln added 1/3 of Tenn's roster and they are still in play for every new guy that hits the portal?
  16. The $9.95ers have seemingly been trying to speak the Christian Jones thing into existence since he was signed but this staff does seem committed to giving him every opportunity to win that LT position so some potential is there. If they unlocked it this quickly it says a lot about Flood (and Hand). I love this line a lot more if a healthy Kerstetter is an overqualified 6th guy who you can plug in almost anywhere as needed. A lot less if he has to be a starter out of necessity. Nahlin's downstream effect about Karic potentially moving to guard "long-term" means the 2022 season I guess? Hard to believe our best line this year wouldn't have him at one of the tackle spots.
  17. Yeah, Ingram is not a transfer that I will begrudge any success. Couldn’t be happier with Bijan and RoJo leading our backfield next year and I hope Ingram gets his mind and body right and has a great year and gets an NFL shot. I might get worked up if all of a sudden Orlando pulled his head out of his ass but that clip looks familiar enough that I feel pretty safe on that front.
  18. Hmm, that would be pretty surprising. I wonder why? He was their 2nd leading receiver last year and just had a nice spring game. Should be penciled in as a starter. If their new qb is any good you have to think he'd put up some nice numbers in little Briles' offense this season.
  19. I read this and immediately braced myself for Carl swooping in to tell everyone that there isn't a single attractive female enrolled at the University of Texas before remembering that he was sourced months ago.
  20. Antonio Pierce must be the most charming fucker on the planet or ASU has started to seriously play the game.
  21. I guess we can confirm that Jordan Palmer owns a Ping Pong table.
  22. Despite the handwringing about it over the weekend there are reasons to be optimistic about the OL. Or at least not hide under the covers about it. This staff has been aggressive chasing transfers for spots it has identified as weak points (edge rusher, ILB, WR) and has so far been content to stand pat on OL. So Flood and Sark at least seem to think there is enough talent there for now. Good coaching and scheme can make more difference at that group than almost any other and we probably have the 2nd most talent there in the conference even if it doesn't feel like it. A truly dominant offensive line may still be a few years away but average to above average is pretty attainable this season.
