  1. Deion entering the College game as Saban exits is the perfect metaphor for the current state of College Football. The ethos of those two coaches could not be more different.....ethos being defined as the character, sentiment or moral nature of something. Just a perfect description of the new college football climate vs the old. Transfers, tampering, mass roster turnover, NIL, 7/8 year guys playing in to their mid 20's... when was the last time any player was academically ineligible? Saban was the old way and now Deion epitomizes the new way.
  2. That's it, that was the bit. First time I heard that I thought he was spot on. So funny.
  3. I saw a comedian do a bit on this. Its been years now, but the premise is what you describe here. He had a Seinfeld-like delivery Paraphrasiing: 'you know , in my next life, Im returning as a gay man. Think about, all i ever want is sex anyhow...how bad could it be, i get to have to sex, leave immediately, nobody gets mad. Spend my time in the gym, sit around in cafes in a bright, tight muscle shirt, no one thinks twice, they just say he must be gay. I hang out with guys anyway, watch sports all day, in and out of partners, those gay guys are on to something'.
  4. Any chance of flipping Jamaree Caldwell? IIRC he's the UH DT that is in the portal and committed to the Ducks.
  5. Love it, yeah your group is one of last of the old guard imo. Those guys from early-mid 80's were such a great group, had to be an unbelievable time in ATX back then.
  6. Catch Thursday and Aquolina (sp) for Friday; Saturday night we got a chef coming to cook after either later lunch drinks at cloud 9 or some apres ski concert, probably hang at the mountain a little later Saturday. Looking forward to it, 10 old Horns from ‘92 getting together, about half from Dallas, half from Houston and half from out of state. Going to be some tall tales told, some that haven’t seen the light of day since fall ‘88
  7. That was a huge play at that time in the game. Good luck to the young man. Wish he would have stayed here.
  8. The other poster brought up our closing stretch of games. i replied with a screen shot of those games. I didnt bring up the schedule, specifically, only that in general it would be tougher in the SEC, thus the need to add DT transfer depth.
  9. 2024 is a more difficult schedule than 2023, that's the point we're discussing.
  10. No way Ark isnt better, KJ is gone and replaced with a Freshman AA transfer QB, he's good. No way FL worse...they have a murderers row schedule so they will come in limping, still better than WV, TCU or Bayor...who would you rather play, TCU/WV/KU or FL? Give me one of the hateful 8. At TAMU will be tough. Kentucky is a veteran team, great OL. We'll see.
  11. The SEC is/has been a better league than the B12 top to bottom since existence. To think otherwise is naive. We're positioned to do well but any casual fan knows there is more NFL talent on opposing team's roster than anything we've faced in some time. Not sure how you don't know that. Im not saying we'll struggle, but the degree of difficulty will be greater.
  12. Agreed. How this came up was in regards to DT depth. We will face considerably better OL play in the SEC, IMO, than in B12 and the need to add an experienced player at that position group with the loss of Carter to Auburn and departures of Murphy and Sweat.
  13. You are wearing orange colored glasses if you think this close to the season isnt significantly more difficult than anything we've seen the last 10 years, ranked or not.
  14. We accounted for him upthread in the DT depth post. In fact he's listed first. No one is discounting him, but we need more experience. Collins, Bledsoe and Broughton are the only returning guys with meaningful experience. Whole new level of ballgame in the SEC week in and week out. Adding a DT transfer is damn near imperative. Adding Michigan to the schedule, UGA etc.. ideally we arent relying on true Freshman in the 2 deep.
  15. Oh yeah, I had the guy Oregon got as the Juco guy.... well I guess UofH and all you can see the mistake. edit: UH = Juco
  16. DT Returning - Mitchell, Collins, Bledsoe, Broughton Incoming DT - January , Melvin Hills and Robinson(?) We need the UH DT to sign here + 1 other perhaps. We lost out on the MS Juco DT, so the Freshman are going to all have to play or we need another experienced transfer imo.
  17. Wow thats nuts. Some way to go. Any video of the troop carrier up thread to accompany the still?
  18. Coach Grubb's tweet is very odd. He might should have slept on that one for the night.
  19. Heading there in a couple weeks with a group of buddies. One of them has a house, so we should be good on local intel, but is there anything you can pass along for newb to Aspen? Believe we are skiing Snowmass 1 day and then whatever mnt has the Cloud 9 restaurant/bar the other. Eating at Catch one night. Looks like we'll be getting much better snow than you got. Family and I were at Breck for Christmas and we had similar snow to what you described, still fun though.
  20. I remember add drops at the drum, walking around that concourse with a class book. Had to walk to the arean floor to check out and pay up
  21. only who comes to mind is JT Daniels. He started for SC
  22. According to the link up thread, Bama has over $900M in Active Capital Projects. I know Texas does as well, but our "wealth" is light years ahead of theirs. I would imagine their endowment dollars are so low as they are playing catchup
