Okam is headed to the Panthers and Herman should have known that from the second Rhule got hired 12 days ago. You can't fault Herman for Okam picking Carolina over us. You should fucking roast him for being dumb enough to not know there was no way he was coming.

It's official. Feldman reporting it's Aranda to Baylor.

I'm a Texas guy, the wife is the Baylor girl. I don't know enough either way to have an opinion.

Baylor's boards are almost all united in their desire for McGuire. He's also the guy Rhule officially blessed as the next man up after he left last week.

I've heard mixed feedback on Fuente. Supposedly he's elite when it comes to managing staff and handling the coaches room, and he's got a reputation for being a pretty good recruiter (2020 being a rather notable exception). I've also heard he struggles to maintain team chemistry and culture and lets the upperclassmen drive culture in an unhealthy way. That works when when you've got great team guys, and it's a disaster when you don't. I've heard mixed feedback on his ability to develop talent.

Baylor is down to 4 guys, Aranda / Fuentes / McGuire / Napier. Probably announced tomorrow, but maybe Thursday. Fuentes is the safest of those picks, Aranda is the biggest risk but highest upside. Personally I think it's McGuire and the keep a bunch of the staff in place, but replace a few of the offensive guys.

This is a great point. I don’t know why Riley hasn’t done it yet. If Rhule can find a QB in the next 3 years he’s got a real good chance to be in Carolina for awhile. If he can’t, he’ll be at PennState / tOSU / Michigan in 4 years with a contract Jimbo would be jealous of.

Supposedly Gundy was very interested in 2016, but I don't know how true that is. I don't think it's a good fit anymore and would be really surprised to see it.

That last statement was poorly written by me, apologies. I think Georgia is gonna win a close game, something like 20-17 because of Georgia's OL. If Georgia can't run the ball though, I could see Baylor extending a lead in the 2nd half to win the game by a score of 30-9 or something like that. I don't think this is going to be a repeat of the Baylor / TCU game where it was 9-9 at the end of regulation.

OU is gonna be better than they were this year. LSU will take a step back but not a massive one. Okie State will be better, as will TCU. Baylor could take a big step back or be better depending on Rhule. The schedule is tougher next year than this year. For me it's process. They could be much improved next season and still go 9-3 and miss the conference title game.

This game is gonna get decided by the Baylor Front 7. If they can stop Georgia's zone runs out of a heavy personnel package w/ their 3 down base, Georgia's offense is gonna do jack shit w/ their non-existent WR corp. If Georgia goes heavy and is consistently getting 5 / .6 YPC, Baylor will pull out a 4 man Front and load the box, and Fromm is gonna get some one on one looks against the Baylor CBs that are good, but aren't good enough to hold up without giving up a big play. I think Georgia wins a close game around 20, but the path is absolutely there for Georgia to lose by 20 in a 30-9 game.

I would sign over my child’s college funds for 1 night with this woman. Good lord.

Hell yes lets goooooo.

I might be talking out of my ass, but this feels like a streaming play to me. It’s a stupid spend for ESPN if you’re thinking about normalcy ESPN subscribers, but if you think in terms of Disney aggregating content for streaming it starts to make a lot more sense. It means a bunch of conferences are about to get a major offer from ABC if that’s the case.

Wife is a die hard Baylor girl, so I end up half following the team. According to their 9.95 guys, the Collins visit went well but Princely did not. Assumption on Princely is that the wants to meet the new UT staff before making a decision, and that the visit this weekend had more to do w/ Mom wanting him to take it than him actually being interested. Baylor 9.95 guys think Collins is down to OU / Baylor, and won't decide until February.
