  1. He has multiple runs in the NFL of 90 yards or more including a 99 yarder. It's not because dbs are so terrified of getting posterized they just don't catch him. My point was he's really fast on the football field no matter what his 40 says.
  2. True, and it sort of goes to the side conversation happening about Derrick Henry's speed. His 40 time was really impressive for his size but the number by itself (4.54) was pretty middling. Watch him in a game though and at times he looks like one of the fastest guys on the field.
  3. Rumors going OU boards that Seth McGowan and Trejan Bridges got busted for breaking and entering and may be kicked off the team. So I'm sure Lincoln will "handle it internally" and they are looking at a suspension.
  4. If Thompson and Moore are our two fastest players on the team I don't feel like we are an especially blazing fast squad. Sark will almost certainly value team speed more the Tom ever did. Schooler seemed so slow on the field last year but he looked pretty damn fast chasing down Bijan (with an angle) and then this blurb has him clocking some of the fastest MPH of the dbs. If Ojomo is really the most technical DL we have and also the strongest and the smartest hopefully this is a breakout year for him.
  5. This has nothing do with with anything really but Killebrew sold me some shoes at Tyler's on the Drag in '07. Was surprised to see a guy on the team working a part time job in the spring. He was nicer than I would have expected. He wasn't really any good at football though.
  6. Ah, yeah you’re right. FCB anyway though.
  7. Great stuff Chip, thanks for clearing that up.
  8. Watching that video made me tense as hell but then I did laugh when the kid told him "you smell drunk". I do wonder if Drill Sgt Dipshit had a few and was feeling even more entitled than usual.
  9. To paraphrase a former president: Futureman me once, shame on - shame on you. Futureman me um - you can't get Futureman'd again.
  10. He didn't have the upside that Finley had but Irby was about to have a really nice season and career before he almost lost his damn leg in 2008. Amazing he ever played again at all.
  11. Our entire offensive staff (save Coleman) spent the last two seasons coaching a WR room that had Devonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, Jerry Jeudy, & Henry Ruggs. It's not too shocking that they might look at our guys and decide that they kind of suck. I don't think Sark is unrealistic about the talent we have or is trying to make preemptive excuses for the season. He can and should win a lot of games with our current roster. The WR talk is just targeting that as a position that needs to see significant improvement before the offense can get to the level Sarkisian expects his teams to operate at.
  12. It's on
  13. Thanks, I thought some of that was suspended with the COVID year but I'm not clear where the NCAA landed with everything. Apologies if this has been covered but where are we on the 25? We signed 21 and added Dunn and Thornton. Oghoufo and the Bama transfer are assumed to still be on the way so that would be 25 but we should be able to count some of the early enrollees back to the 2020 class, correct?
  14. Epps is a senior looking up at two guys ahead of him on the depth chart and might be neck and neck with two freshman early enrollees to even be #3. This summer we'll add Liebrock and maybe Sanders to that group. Yeah honestly he probably should transfer. If he does it early enough to open another scholarship for a grad transfer WR, OL, or LB even better.
  15. That Jason guy has 13 followers and he only follows 5 accounts. One of them being some kind of aggie research account. I'm wondering if maybe what he thinks about Bijan doesn't mean shit.
  16. I don't know if he's a guy who would be ready to contribute immediately but he's fast as hell and WR is quickly becoming the offensive position group I'm most worried about in the short term so I hope the staff would be all over him. Clusterfuck is right. The only guy that seems to consistently be showing out in practice so far is Whittington and we can't trust he'll stay on the field at this point. We've seen Moore play well in stretches and hopefully he stays away from drywall and guns. After that it's brutal. Omeire may be a player but that is based on last year's summer practices and he's not back 100% yet. Jake Smith is hurt, constantly on transfer watch, and may not even be any good regardless. We hope Dixon will emerge but he has 3 career catches. Maybe one of the freshmen can give us something but they are backup choices after the old staff went lame duck last year. We could be staring down the barrel of Kai Money being heavily involved unless we bring in some transfers.
  17. I've heard Machinehead at every hockey game I've been to in the last 15 years and not once outside of that setting.
  18. I’m bored and very excited to see a real football play so I watched it enough times to tell who was out there. Mostly lines up with what the 9.95ers have been saying. The line goes: Garth (Jones and Hookfin still out)-Okafor-Majors-Angilau-Karic Wrs and TE: Whittington, Moore & Washington, Wiley The defense is all 2nd team. Wiley eats up whoever he’s blocking, may be Ford. Bush is on the other side playing contain, goes unblocked, takes a bad angle and comes up with air as Bijan flies by him. Could spot Ojimo, Schooler, Dunn, Owens. I think Goram-Welch must be the other dt. Hullaby is the ILB on the right but I can’t tell who the other ILB is Bijan is so damn fun to watch.
  19. The Stewart recruitment likely still has several more twists and turns yet to play out but I’m surprised Oregon was listed as the most likely spot along with us. I remember they were mentioned as a real possibility before he committed to us the first time but I thought he had turned into an SEC vs. Texas battle.
  20. Uh oh, now you've done it.
  21. Haha, holy shit. What could possibly be the justification for Miss State at 9th? They needed a 2 point win against Tulsa to get to 4 wins last season.
  22. I’m not sure this is a very controversial opinion. Who is Coach V? I don’t remember him being one of the posters or mods over there. Anonymous former coach/supposed amalgamation like “the big cigar” or is he a known guy?
  23. Mock started that game but Vince played early in the 1st quarter, our second or third drive I think. Mock and Vince both threw 1Q ints. I remember being all excited about the game until in ABCs pregame package they cut to a close up of Mock warming up on the field and he had the most obvious "deer in headlights" look I've ever seen an athlete have. My dad and I looked at each other and said "uh oh" and the rest of the day was downhill from there.
  24. Yeah, you don't even have to give Herman any credit. Maybe it was the team leaders, assistant coaches, or we happened to have a group of guys who just generally give a shit but I never felt like our MENSA years problems were because of a lack of effort. We constantly fought our way back into games where our own fuckups put us in huge holes. Over and over we put individual players and the team in general in positions to fail and we always seemed to fight as hard as we could to overcome our dumbass game plans and whoever our opponent happened to be. It's not lost on me that the comebacks always started when we were most desperate and just had Sam play hero ball instead of working within the confines of Tom's offense.
  25. Wonder how we would have done that previous year against USC in a playoff. We were obviously a better team the following year but the way Vince was playing in big games from the second half of that season on makes me feel like we could have had a chance. Would have had Ced and DJ but no Jamaal. Greg Robinson instead of Chizik. Seems like USC was largely the same team as they had the following year. We're likely big underdogs but a college football team with Vince on one side of the ball and DJ on the other could beat anyone. Really would have loved to get another chance at OU that season after we finally started just letting VY cook.
