  1. Good luck, Blue. I hope you fix your fumble woes and we get to see the playoffs version of you in the NFL
  2. God damn. Dude looks wider than he is tall - and he's 6'5"!!!
  3. It's a highlight reel, I'm certainly no scout, and I obviously don't know shit. But his HUDL looks a little stiff at times to me: https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18354729/6748f738242cc67520747253 Still, though, if the staff likes him, he's obviously very big and very strong - and I love his work on special teams. So I hope he proves me totally wrong
  4. The best two "highlight" films I could find of him were from HS (hate to link anything from Rivals but it is what it is). Not surprisingly, I couldn't find much from UNC. The second video is almost more of a hype video - but it still has a lot of highlights. In any case, I can see why he had the lofty ranking. He is... LARGE. And fast. If Sark/Baker can maximize Shaw's talent and Shaw and the SC/nutrition staff can keep his weight under control, I think he'll be a very nice addition for us
  5. I will always remember Quinn diving head first into TWO Ohio State linebackers while trying to get a first down. It still blows my mind that people questioned his toughness. I hope he tears it up in the NFL and makes all of his doubters eat shit
  6. A lot of them, for sure - but certainly not all
  7. I've read that the current plan is to line him up all over the place, including RB. A guy that big and strong who can catch like a WR could be a really interesting weapon out of the backfield.
  8. I also remember seeing a lot of Alex January in the first quarter, which was surprising. If they like him enough to play him in that game, maybe that explains why they haven't gone hard after another DT (yet). Bond won't come back but he should. He wasn't the same player after the ankle injury. Before the OU game, he was considered a first rounder. I can't imagine that he still is and one more solid season would really help his draft stock - especially if he's using his speed to get open and catch long passes from Arch. I feel Cam Williams could also really benefit from one more college season. But he's got that first round grade so he pretty much has to go. Would love to get Golden back as well but I can't imagine that happens either.
  9. The one handed catch he made in the 1st quarter was unreal. Would love to have him back next year but I can't see him staying and don't blame him a bit
  10. You're absolutely right - my bad Just in case anyone cares, I got bored and kept digging and he's a distant cousin of Ray Borque. I grew up watching Borque play so I just thought it was an interesting connection
  11. It's been brought up a bunch but I get more impressed with Freeman almost (not NIU) every time I watch ND. That's a pretty telling stat with respect to second half adjustments.
  12. My thought as well. I'm glad ND won, I guess. Freeman is 1000x more likeable. Plus, there's Penn State's other "baggage" which should prevent them from winning anything ever again
  13. Random, random question - but I see that there's a high 4 star QB named "Peter Borque" out of a boarding/prep school near Boston in 2027. Does anyone know if he's related to NHL great/Bruins legend Ray Borque? I did some preliminary digging and didn't find anything but I also know that there's no shortage of French Canadians up there and that Borque isn't exactly an uncommon last name. Elder Borque had like 3 sons who were drafted by the NHL so I was wondering if maybe it was his grandson?
  14. I've often wondered why we don't talk about Becton more - and the conditioning/nutrition/sports science folks as well. They've clearly done a phenomenal job and it's great to see Becton get some recognition for it. Our development is obviously fantastic and I really can't remember the last time we looked this well conditioned.
  15. I can tell you, for a fact, that Hartzell is widely despised by UT employees. He forced them all back to the office - even the ones who mainly meet with people via Zoom - as part of a deal with Abbott to get a tuition hike. Then, Abbott refused the tuition increase anyway. Good riddance to Hartzell - although I can't imagine his replacement will be any better.
  16. I think it is a good omen. Back in 2005, my brother brought me back a similar set from Russia with VY, David Thomas, Charles, Selvin, and Sweed. We know how that turned out
  17. This would be very hard to do without going full Cloak Room - and I'm not going to do that. I can say that I have read and heard that some people at UT felt that Hartzell considered him a part of the force seeking to significantly change some things about UT. I also heard that he wanted to increase tuition (again) so he was given a list of things to do by Abbott, including forcing the work from home employees back into the office. As I understand it, he did those things and Abbott still shot down the tuition hike. Again, this is just what I have heard from someone who works at UT. I can't personally back any of it up - and it may be partially (or wholly) incorrect for all I know
  18. Not A&M related but I LOVE seeing Venables listed in a category as "not likely these coaches are still coaching here in 2026" while knowing that OU's broke asses probably STILL won't be able to afford to fire him by then. It warms my heart
  19. Edit: and it's a one score game just like that
  20. Beautiful play there. We might just get a game after all. Fingers crossed Spelling: how does it work?
