  1. Agreed. This is a weak draft because there are no sure things, not because there is no potential. I'm fine trading one or both pics for a proven young player but otherwise, more lottery tickets are better than less. Hopefully our two will net two starters that are playoff caliber.
  2. Are you saying going to buc-ees doesn't count? And 300 lb water buffalo Katy suburban housewives aren't co-eds? You sir have too high standards
  3. This is the way. Cdc has crushed every hire other than basketball (no real choice after the tourney run) and football (not really involved though obviously going well). We are at worst a top 3 job, with strong nil support that will only increase if you have a coach who isn't widely perceived as an asshole. We're fucking Texas and CDC isn't Patterson. From what I hear, he's always got a running list and this season didn't come out of nowhere. He's got his top two guys or his clear number one. And if history is an indication, we won't know until right before it happens.
  4. It'll be an interesting series. Boston has played down to the competition this playoff and Dallas has gelled at the right time. Luka keeps getting better as the playoffs progress and Kyrie is good Kyrie for now. As a Celtics fan (2nd team after the Spurs), it comes down to 3 factors. 1) KP health 2) can anyone on the Celtics force Luka into a couple bad games? He's a matchup nightmare and the Celtics tend to be long and lean. Not a lot of bigger heavier bodies. 3) can Tatum find his 3 point stroke? He's done all the other things but if he can't hit consistently from deep they go through droughts on offense that will kill them against Dallas I've hated Dallas for years but I have to say, this Dallas team is fun to watch. Didn't really expect them to dismantle Denver and really hard to predict. My heart says Celtics in 6, my head says Dallas in 6. Thankfully I've been consistently wrong on the Western conference this entire playoffs
  5. Salty inbred little bitches. We are better. Now that payments aren't limited to what a bunch of poor trash can gather up at a elk's lodge meeting, the playing field is tilted away from them. Sorry your towns suck, your wives are fat and your children are ugly. Sorry that you won't be able to buy players with $100 bills. Sucks to be you.
  6. Starting early...
  7. Poor Bama. Getting picked on by big bad Texas. They are at the anger stage at this point. I wonder how long it will take to get to acceptance. Deboer must have the charisma of a wet blanket to not be able to retain some of his players given his coaching resume. How long until they turn on him? Right now they are mad at the players leaving and the schools that view their roster as open season. Where was that outrage when they picked Burton from Georgia or Gibbs from gtech? This is the danger of being an uneducated, shitty redneck state and having a generational coach. You fail to understand your place in the world. With deboer they likely maintain respectability but the days of being angry if they don't make the cfp are over.. for their sake hopefully they don't get back the franchione days but as a fanbase that has suffered through 13 years in the desert, I think it's reasonable to collectively tell them to fuck off. For those bama fans browsing who struggle with words, assume Texas is Logan Roy.
  8. Surely bama has a couple dts.... If we get their starter does it count as ours. Holy shit it's nice to watch everyone else burn
  9. That is correct. Basically, you lose the claim to your scholarship when you enter the portal. Moot point for bama but a surprise for some of those players who overvalue their importance and why you see people end up at South Alabama.
  10. How awesome would it be to somehow watch him destroy a second program we compete with? Plus all the Aggy tears if he has any modicum of success while they are paying for his historic buyout. I'm just crossing my fingers that someone decides that Tommy Rees, James Franklin, or Marcus Freeman is the move...No one will adequately replace Saban but there are plenty that would speed up Bama's demise and slide into mediocrity. I'm really surprised that Kiffin isn't their next call after the top three. He might not succeed but he'd certainly be entertaining and higher upside than any of the other candidates thrown out.
  11. yup, 4 years coaching entire line, another year coaching just guards and centers (lol, if that isn't an indictment not sure what is). Also, felt like about 10 years so definitely continuity. When I looked it up, found out he wrote a book on offensive line coaching. I think it was titled "Offensive Line Fundamentals - How to Ignore them and turn 5 stars into 2 stars"
  12. In fairness, my phone autocorrects to Aggy. It doesn't matter whether I type Aggie, Aggies, moron, simpleton, inbred, periennial underachiever, second rate program, pretender, cult, or SEC sycophant. No matter what, it autocorrects. Now if we have a new board rule I will try but I think on it's pretty Aggy!
  13. I'm glad that OU upgraded at QB. Btw, McMillan seems to have owning OU down pat. He's certainly welcome to continue to do so at Texas
  14. Dude, let him have the win. I bet this will be counted in their win loss record along with the spring game. Getting to .500 isn't going to be easy and the benefit of starting 2-0 before going through the early season gauntlet will be big
  15. If I believed in conspiracy theories, I would even believe that Texas would float interest in certain commits that they don't want just to make some rubes negotiate against themselves and thereby decrease the war chest for the players you actually covet. It only works if you're dealing with simpletons, maybe a competitor that spent an ungodly sum of money to fire a coach and buy players because of what their rival was doing ... We haven't really been interested in Bussey or McKinley but suddenly we're interested. LOL. Then again, for the Aggy on here, I hear Sark covets Bussey as a replacement for Worthy replacement and thinks McKinley can replace Sweat. I really hope we can get them and heard that a couple BMDs have said that money won't prevent us from getting these guys. Same with Evans, who they think could be like Suh. At least, that's what I was told...
  16. Carefully orchestrated conspiracy... Or jumping off a sinking ship filled with simpering, mewling morons?
  17. Damn it, all the office jokes already made but seriously... Is this the assistant to the regional manager? They tell you that in your darkest hour there will always be some light. How did we get so lucky to both be in the playoffs and watch an Aggy version of the Strong regime happen before our eyes? Even Strong was a passable recruiter with a longer track record of success. And as bad as his staff was, they are way, way better than this
  18. Never more appropriate than now lol
  19. I may be the only one but I can't unsee it. Tell me the video doesn't look like a portal or toilet before you hit the play button.... Either way I guess it fits.
  20. Holy shit, out of left field. There's some felony assault on film....I have a hard time believing he won't be a 5 star when all is said and done.
  21. What a great season! Got to watch the domination with a bunch of DC Texas Exes on a cold rainy day
