    Georgia and Auburn tied at 20.  
    Might be #2 behind Michigan after today.

    That's just gonna send the aggy coaster higher!

    I'm so going to enjoy us tearing up the $EC and accomplishing more in one season there than Aggy has in their entire time there.

    Someone should make a weekly thread showing the best overreactions in game thread.

    Hey now, what the fuck do ya'll think you're trying to do?

    Freaking out is a time honored and cherished tradition in game day threads.  It's what makes this place great.  Don't fuck with that shit.  What happens in the game day thread stays in the game day thread.

    There is NO reason why we don’t win the Big 12 this year. Period. 
     

    Stuff to bitch about: kicking, Sark getting too cute with playcalls and not always taking what defenses give him and overall sloppiness. We gotta clean up the mistakes after we win the Big 12. The teams we will face in playoffs won’t just fuck around and find out while we kick it into another gear. That said, this is a strangely awesome team that can win it all. 

    I'm still on a week at a time.  

    Gonna start drinking reeeeeeeeeeeeeal early next week.

  4. Lots of coaches aspire to be Ferentz.  

    Find yourself an in at a middling organization where there are next to no expectations.  Then you work on exerting your control over everything so your position becomes near unassailable as long as you aren't absolutely awful.

    Ferentz is pretty damn good at it, but the absolute master was Jeff fucking Fisher.  Dude lasted forever in the NFL off of one fluke kick-return and being a good ol' boy for an organization/city who was just happy to have a team.

    For posterity, here is the part of the dumbest fucking post ever. @SpiralOut

    Fucks sake ya'll are dumber than fucking dog shit.  Are you all Aggies in fucking disguise who have jumped ship over here since the Jimbo-era?

    Sub 4.4 is a regular occurrence now in the NFL.  That's not super special magical Christmas land anymore.  IMHO, which you all can disagree with, Xavier's only top NFL talent as of right now is his speed.  And has he proven to run a 4.2?  I honestly don't know, maybe one of ya'll does.  He's definitely fast.  But lots of guys are fast.

    And if you're going to quote me to talk shit, don't edit it.

    Guys are running 4.2s/4.3s no problem.

    That's what I said.  And it's the truth.

    A historic number of wideouts torched the turf at Lucas Oil Stadium, led by Baylor wideout Tyquan Thornton and his event-record 4.21-second sprint down the sideline. He was one of three receivers to break the 4.3s barrier and twelve to run under 4.4 in general as Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah, calling the event live on NFL Network, could only reel off a litany of “wows.”

    So in last year's draft alone, three dudes at wideout ran 4.2 times.  TWELVE dudes ran under 4.4.  So speed is not something that is lacking in the WR department when you go to draft a player.  How is that so difficult for you to understand?  

    Goddamn, if you don't drop to your knees and open wide to receive our player's dicks around here then out come the pitchforks.  

    I will gladly admit after perusing the last couple of drafts which I don't religiously keep up with that the NFL is going towards smaller receivers.  And some teams have made some seriously questionable draft picks of WRs in the first couple of rounds.  Probably because they're all desperately trying to conform to the new "RBs are pointless, throw it 50 times a game" meta in the NFL.  I still don't think, as it stands right now, Worthy is a top round guy.  Way too inconsistent.  And the idea that he hangs in the league for 10 years is fantasy land since hardly anyone does that anyway, but especially in today's NFL where they'll just throw you on the trash heap and draft another guy who is way cheaper.

    At any rate, done with this silly nonsense.

    You’re just retarded. Dude will finish as a top 3 receiver in program history in just 3 years in the program. If he stayed 4, he’d be the best receiver in program history. 

    And that's, what do you call it?  A strawman?  A red herring?  I don't know, one of those.  Since the argument wasn't about how good he was for us or where he ranked in the history of Texas receivers.

    My argument was saying he's a stone-handed speed guy without the talent to be an upper round, 10 year NFL guy.  Which isn't crazy.  Hardly anyone is a 10-year NFL guy. 

    Somehow me thinking he's not a super-elite route runner has devolved into a dogpile where it looks like I hate the kid.  I don't.  I think he's great.  I just think the koo-laid drinkers need to chill a bit.  First on comparing this team who struggles with Wyoming to the Vince led, undefeated, Nat'l champs, to acting like Worthy is equivalent to Roy fucking Williams.  A guy who, by the by, also didn't have a 10-year NFL career.

    You have nothing against the guy except making shit up to fit your narrative. Worthy’s hands are wildly inconsistent and it’s maddening. To say he doesn’t have the route running or quickness is insanely stupid. 

    I must have really fucked up if you think something I said was stupid considering every post of yours today has been pants-on-head retarded, Mr. "We're better than the '05 Longhorns!"

    You must be blind or just completely ignorant.

    Worthy is an athletic freak. He's slight, but plays strong. Needs to work on ball skills, but he's a second rounder at worst. Especially after he rips off a sub 4.4 at 6'0 170 with his tape.

    Another hot take here.

    Sub 4.4 isn't some be-all end-all anymore in the NFL.  Guys are running 4.2s/4.3s no problem.  But yes, he is fast.  

    An athletic freak?  Tyreek Hill is an athletic freak.  DK Metcalf is an athletic freak.  Worthy is a stick figure built like Randy Moss just 3 inches shorter and 40 pounds lighter.

    Never cracked 1k yards receiving.  Good for 60 catches a year.  Which isn't terrible, but c'mon.  He's playing on teams stacked with D1 talent with 5* QBs throwing him the ball in a defense deficient conference.  

    2nd round?  Really?  10 years in the league?  Really?  Guess I am blind and/or ignorant because I don't see it as of yet.  Though he does have a lot of games against creampuffs coming up to prove me wrong.

    Bijan apart, their last offensive drafts were Drake London over Garrett Wilson, and Kyle Pitts over Ja'Marr Chase. Now you can say that maybe those two are suffering the QB play, but I highly doubt they will ever be as good as the players taken after them

    Yeah, misses for sure.  Though I think both the guys they got can be pretty good players.

    That O-line is just atrocious, though.  I saw today that they're ranked like 3rd or 4th lowest in pass block win-rate at 44%.  They gave up seven sacks against the Lions.  Some of that, I'm sure, is on Ridder holding the ball a bit too long.  But a lot of those plays were just DOA because Ridder/Bijan had 4-5 Lions defenders in their face immediately because the O-line 'Ole' blocked everyone.

    Worthy lacks the quickness?

     

    are we watching different players?

    He's great when he's running in a straight line, no doubt.  On routes over the middle and shit where he has to out-work a defender with his routes, footwork, and cuts?  I ain't seen anything that special out of him.

    Worthy is the only starting receiver we have that projects close to 10 years in the league 

    Not even Worthy. 

    That kid drops as many passes and he catches.  He's only 6'1 and he weighs a buck seventy soaking wet.  So he can't play the giant outside burner Randy Moss type receiver that well.  He doesn't have the route running ability or quickness to play slot.  And yeah, he drops a lot of balls.

    Dude is a 4th or later round pick at this point who will have to work his ass off to just have a chance at working into a starting role.  10 years in the league?  Please. 

    I mean, nothing against the guy, but trying to act like he's better than any other number of low-level NFL talent we've had is wrong.  He's probably slightly above a Lil'Jordan or Colin Johnson type unless he figures some shit out.  And double teamed?  Boo-hoo.  Great players laugh at that shit and then burn the coverage anyway.

    Unfortunately, Ridder can't throw, Arthur Smith can't call plays, and the O-line can't block very well.  So the Falcons accomplished absolutely dick all on offense today.  Their defense played phenomenally outside of a breakdown in protection that led to an early TD.  Offense just couldn't do a fuckin' thing.

    They're going to win way too many games to get a shot at drafting Caleb Williams.  They need a QB, though.
