  1. The absurd thing is that they're almost as big and bad as we are. I'm honestly kind of astounded they let DeBoer walk. I have ZERO doubt they could outbid Bama for him if they wanted to. I guess they just didn't feel like ponying up. People forget: UW is a HUGE and prestigious state school with boatloads of money and wealthy alumni (WAY more than Bama) and they care about football a lot more than people think. Maybe DeBoer just wanted to try his hand at the SEC. Maybe he gave UW his number and they said "thanks but no thanks." Who knows? But UW has ZERO business complaining about any other school being a big, bad, mega rich meanie. Maybe they don't have our history but they're almost as rich and they can pull all the talent out of Cali they need to be a perennial contender while cherry picking the best players in the PNW.
  2. I'm certainly no daddy98, but I went through a little of his film too and had some of the same thoughts. It looks to me like one of his main issues is that he has a tendency to block too high mostly without enough knee/hip bend (and he's admittedly 6'7' allegedly which makes it harder). I have to agree that he didn't show much in the passing game - but if his role is to be a blocking surface, I have zero issue with the take. He just needs to spend plenty of time in the weight room and working on his technique with Banks (and I'm sure he will). I can say that I love that he's a VERY willing blocker. As long as he spends time doing plenty of squats, working on blocking technique, and preferably developing his hands, I'm perfectly fine with him being a Horn. You can always use a guy like that
  3. I was going to say the same thing. I wasn't really sure I wanted Stewart to come here. I definitely do now just to see the TexAgs meltdown
  4. He was just awful. One of the worst CCG performances by a QB I've ever seen. If there's a hell, I feel like it involves just watching Iowa and Louisville's offenses from last night on repeat for eternity
  5. I know this is an old post but I hope this kid turns out a metric fuckton better than Jack Plummer. Not that it'll be super hard for him to do that - this shit tonight was genuinely painful to watch
  6. Jesus. The aggy spiel about how "dang ol Bammer is so much dadgum better now than they were when them dern sips beat em" shit is so stupid, absurd, and played the fuck out. Did they even watch the offensive shitshow that was the SEC title game? It honestly wasn't THAT much better than the nightmare ACC title game I sat through for some insane reason I can't explain. If that shit had gone to OT, I might have gouged my eyes out In any case, Milroe barely completed 50% of his passes. They're absolutely the same team we beat - and, if anything, we've improved more. If we played Bama tomorrow the same way we played Okie Lite today, we'd absolutely beat them by 14 to 21 instead of 10 (assuming everyone is healthy, good to go for most of the game, and not suspended for a stupid ass targeting call - mainly Worthy).
  7. I just had a flashback of all the camp reports we heard about what an "amazing connection" Hales had with Garrett Gilbert during camp. God, those were dark days
  8. I will never, ever, ever get tired of seeing this pic posted (and have posted it a few times myself). So if you ever want guaranteed rep from me, post this. Almost too beautiful/glorious/enticing for words. Assuming there's no photographer or any parasitic agents or whatever there (and, obviously there are, of course) I would give my middle nut to be the third wheel there. Seriously. Let me use it one last time and I'm good. That's really all I'll ever need it for again. Disclaimer: if my wife comes across this post somehow - doubtful, but you never you know - I was CLEARLY hacked. I would CONSIDER blaming SydneyCarton, closetojumping, HenryJames, NoName, and few others but it's CLEARLY that Mailbox357 fucker's fault and he should be drawn and quartered for this offense. I just hope they can find a rack large enough for Ketch's ginormous ass. Maybe they can Blood Eagle him instead
  9. I'm really, really happy to hear you say this. IIRC, one of your big misgivings about Sark initially was questioning whether he was a "killer" or not. I think you referenced early Mack on the recruiting trail and in his dealing with the press as an example. You're obviously far more in the know than I will ever be so hearing you say that Sark does, in fact, have some of that that killer instinct that coaches like pre-decline Mack had (among many, many other great ones) gives me a lot of hope for the future. I sincerely hope Sark hangs onto whatever he's found.
  10. They never cease to astound me. I've watched maybe a quarter and a half of an aggy game this year - and that was part of the hilarious collapse against Miami that anyone with half a brain saw coming. Since it's not 1989, there's pretty much always actual good teams on that I can watch instead. Or at least fun teams who don't run a 1970s offense. That way, I can enjoy seeing innovation and/or intelligent play calling and say things like "wow. That was a cool, really smart play. I hope Sark picks that one up" - see ISU's 4th down TD call last night, as frustrating as it was to watch in the moment (side note: love or hate Sark, it's nice having a coach who actually runs the type of play that elicits that kind of reaction on at least a semi-regular basis). Those pigfuckers watch every single second of every single game we play, no matter what the score is, and focus on that shit like they're preparing for the bar exam or the USMLE. Each and every one of those weirdos needs lifelong psychotherapy with accompanying INTENSE psychiatric care and even that's probably not nearly enough. I would say lobotomies might do the trick but I'm pretty sure most them have already had one, so...
  11. Do not want. Say wat you want about his coaching but recruiting East TX would suddenly become much, much harder.
  12. Got damn. You think there's a poral exodus now. Wait until all those five start prima donnas have to get coached by Gundy. So, in conclusion, I support this wholeheartedly and hope aggy is dumb enough to do it. I'll give Gundy this much, at least: that dude can flat out coach even when he's not keeping his best players. So I guess it would be an upgrade even if aggy loses half their roster.
  13. And every other year he played them. Despite the OU debacles, he'll always have my respect for the consecutive beatdowns he put on aggy. Same with Case. Couldn't throw, could barely run, probably could've found a more athletic potential QB in the stands - but he stood TALL when it counted in MUST WIN rivalry games and I'll always respect him for that.
  14. Sanchez was not a miss because 1) we REALLY didn't want him all that bad for reasons other people might like to go into (but I will not touch on here) and; 2) he was never coming here here anyway. tOSU bound all the way. Would like to wish him the best, but... fuck tOSOU. Also I expect another Denver Harris type situation, tbh - or worse - and I'm not solid on him AT ALL as a "good kid." On the plus side, we get to see aggy, many of whom are ABSOLUTELY SURE they're getting him, get left at altar yet again. Which is always good for a hearty laugh. Plus, it may be even funnier than the Kris Boyd and Holton Hill decisions put together (remember Luicici trying to arguue with Boyd? This could be even better!) if enough of those goobers drank the maroon kool aid. Good clean fun, IMO
  15. In addition to being very big, he also looks pretty damn fast and seems to have solid hands. Maybe we'd be interested in targeting McAlister as a replacement for Mitchell since he's probably gone after this year?
  16. Stupid sip. Even the worst offenses in the SEC would hang 77 on any BDF team Legette being out bailed them out so bad. If USCe's OC had even half a brain (and that's anyone's guess. He IS a football coach, after all, so I'm skeptical), he would have just gone to him on every other play and aggy wouldn't have ever been able to find an answer
  17. That too. Just unbelievable how much wasted DL talent at aggy. I can't believe more of them haven't transferred already, bags or no bags (although I'm sure there's more coming this offseason). I genuinely wonder how many of those guys are blowing their shot at the pros. A Whataburger sack stuffed with 10s and 20s is peanuts compared to NFL money
  18. You mean you don't think having 3 down lineman with 82 on the roster is good strategy? You, sir, must not be squeezing hard enough
  19. You'd think with Elijah Robinson and a a DL group that's basically 7-deep with four and five stars, they'd at least be decent at rushing the passer enough to cover for their wretched secondary a little bit. But from what little aggy I've watched this season, they can't even manage that. That level of incompetence is almost impressive (something I find myself saying about them pretty regularly)
  20. I love the way mine looks. I have it on the opposite side of my metallic longhorn. I'm sure not many people know what "Texas One" is but I still think it's cool
  21. This. Ewers is a better runner than Murphy. And it's by a decent margin. Maalik has a bigger arm but that's really his only advantage over Ewers. That said, I'll have high hopes for him
  22. Between Spencer Tillman, Tim Brando, and the refs "looking the other way" on a lot obvious holding and PI no calls, I'm glad to get the win but I only enjoyed watching the first 1.5 quarters of that shitshow of a broadcast. I can't wait until we never have to here those two clowns ever again - their anti-Texas bis is just SO palpable. And I certainly won't miss the worst, most biased refereeing crews in CFB either. Can't wait to get the hell away from these dicks - and I REALLY hope Quinn is OK I cannot express enough how much I look forward to seeing what's left of the Big XII swept into the dustbin of CFB history, right next to the Great West, Virginia Commonwealth Conference, the Dakota Athletic Conference, the Big West Conference, the Midwest Intercollegiate Football Conference, the New England Football Conference, and many, many others
  23. I definitely wouldn't mind if they were in Wesco's ear, especially with Clemson seemingly fading - particularly on offense. I don't think he's in the same tier as Wingo but I'd still take him in a heartbeat
  24. You're right - I shoud've used different wording. He's definitely an amazing football player and, like I said, we would take him in a heartbeat. But I'm not sure he's not overranked. He just doesn't seem to have that same level of explosiveness and athletcism as someone like Wingo or Hudson
