  1. Fuckin hell just keep him out until 2026 then. See him in January.
  2. Because James Borrego wanted to pay tribute to Pop with the Manu/Timmy play from the Suns playoff series? They'll never see it coming! DQ ain't there yet, but damn he's got a starter kit.
  3. I remember the discussions last year about our poor run blocking. Sark wanting to be a good inside zone team but we could only (passably) block outside zone, and only at times. We finished 12th in the SEC in rushing yards/game this year. Last year's O line had us 10th. They were by no means a "good" O line, but like this year's unit, they were able to string together some solid games throughout the season, and some stinkers otherwise. My optimism for next year is that we have the tackles figured out and they are still young and getting stronger. If we can get 1-2 starting IOL between Center and Guard, and let someone else develop into a starter, hopefully we get our first "good" o line in a while.
  4. The play in the 2nd series where Arch checks down to Baxter and he turns upfield..... fuck he looks slow. I know the knock on Wisner is that he's not "explosive" or whatever, but I know if he caught that he's getting to (his) top gear quickly and getting down the sideline quick to reach the first-down marker. Baxter took so long to get going it looks like he's naturally stuck in 2nd gear.
  5. Agreed, great card. The only letdown was the injury. Main event was a banger and great action (since Merab couldn't get the takedown he desperately wanted).
  6. Yeahh uhhh ....... Nah, that's not how I remember it. I was here then too.
  7. I've been all-in on the 2026 kool aid since a few weeks ago. This offense started clicking when Arch's leash was let up a bit and they let him let it fly. I know at this point they are all excuses, but I also see them as reasons why our offense took so long to get going this year. Arch needed time to marinate. He went from yips to navigating the pocket and delivering dimes like his uncles. His confidence clearly hit its high later in the year. It will climb further. Wisner is a Dog. I feel like we can win with him, but we need someone better than the 2025 version of Baxter to take 6-10 carries/game. Clark, Simon? Wisner can get us Ws though. The O line wasn't figured out until way too late. Hutson and Robertson on the inside was passable, but unfortunately do to injuries we had Stroh and Brooks trying to tread water there for weeks. Baker needed time to marinate as well. I'm stoked that we have two tackles returning next year that I am satisfied with, that is a luxury. The inside is going to need more talent. Maybe Brooks develops into a passable guard, when he's more refined and not being asked to learn a new position on the job. The WR room can get better next year through competition. We have 2 5-stars waiting to push the upper-classmen next year. Mosley is talented, and I liked what I saw from him. He missed the first 4-5 games of the season and really came on late. He's a gamer. Wingo, for all the heat he gets, was easily still the most productive receiver on this team by a long shot. His stat jump from his 1st to 2nd year has him looking like he'll push for 1,000 yards next year, wonder what his legacy will be if he improves just a bit on his stat line of 50-770-7 this year. We gotta find a possession guy we can count on (Mosley?). if Wingo was our 1, maybe our offense looks much better with him as 1A with a solid 1B elsewhere. I'm not worried about the offense at all. I only see IOL and RB as having needs, and i'm not sure how they get worse next year. We've already seen the injury effects of those this year. Add some talent, Sark. Having Arch as a seasoned starter is going to take care of a lot of the little shit. Nearly all the receivers are coming back, and we have two solid tackles to take care of the SEC edge rushers. Patch up the inside (c'mon Brooks and Cruz, develop), and let's go to work next year.
  8. That game winner that Fox missed a few weeks ago, when they didn't give Wemby a look, seems like eons ago. This is why he's paid the money. Harper looked great, Barnes is still Mr. Reliable. I knew we needed vets, but didn't realize they would make this big of a difference. Barnes and Fox have been great stabilizing forces this first half of the season.
  9. Hearing him slur all over his mouth full of bullshit at 1:32 was worth the wait. Yeah ok grandpa. You're just the smartest big man to ever walk around these parts big guy, those doctors just proved it giving you an IQ test, go tell everyone.
  10. Allow me to grab the lowest-hanging fruit and go with "Sochan's IG is now full of pics of his GF. All offseason and still now part of the season." Maybe he's lost some edge to the undefeated opponent of competitive hunger. That boy is head over heels.
  11. We had one that kept banging the bleacher bench (yeah poors I know) and getting the ones in our section to whoop. Luckily I didn't have to hear that shit not one time after their crew of dorks walked in a straight line during halftime.
  12. Not sure what my favorite part was of the game experience tonight... Listening to Mar-cel Reed! Chants going into DKR and hearing our fans mockingly chant them afterwards, Or the satisfied feeling I had after the 2nd INT when I started pointing to the tunnels for the ags in our section.
  13. From Highway 80 hauling ass north for kickoff FIGHT
  14. Maybe aggy will have a stupid special teams penalty
  15. Hate to break it to you, but he's always been a bad influence on this team. He can talk a good game and teammate, but he doesn't actually live it. This isn't the first year he's had a case of the drops. It's not the 2nd either. And him being unclutch and dropping passes in big games is nothing close to a new phenomenon. At his absolute most "locked in" he's a Top 8-ish receiver in the league. But locking in requires focus and attention that he doesn't possess.
