  1. Yeah, there's no reason to be obsessive over this. Especially not to the point of looking at OBs. For duck's sake have standards. Recruiting don't even need to pay any attention until summer OVs. Sark always pulls his classes together in season anyway. Nothing about the team will mean shit until camp starts at the earliest.
  2. For decades the US disarmed Europe and most of the world with diplomacy, but then the dumbing of the American people combined with unregulated social media to cause those countries to kick off an arms race that will only end in disaster. Move over climate change, this has now become the most dangerous threat to world wide near extinction.
  3. The farther science advances, the more religion is exposed as malicious bullshittery.
  4. I don't know. I do think Golden and Worthy will be the best NFL receivers of the 4, but Bond's immaturity concerns me. He let the injury against OU derail his season, and didn't show much else besides deep speed. I think Golden got a big boost in scout's eyes for having the production he had even with his QB's limitations. Once he ran that fast time at the combine he moved right into the first round. He's very well rounded.
  5. With Majors and Connor gone I think we see less zone overall and a lot more power scheme. Especially inside.
  6. Sure, it was all because of the QB who turned it over 17 times. Had nothing to do with the defense that was ranked 3rd overall in total defense, 4th in passing defense with the fewest passing TDs allowed of any defense in the top 10, 3rd in scoring defense, and 3rd in red zone defense. I took major issues with Bobby Burton when he said the same dumb thing. The main reason for the big jump on 23 and 24 was the major infusion of overall talent and especially on defense. Sark's recruiting, coaching, and culture is what turned the program around. Not just Ewers. Ewers was a serviceable QB that was good enough for 2 semi finals appearances with one of the deepest and most talented teams around him. That's nice, but we need a big jump in production at the QB position if we want a title.
  7. Don't fill up on guys from a team that needed a late 2nd half rally just to beat our sorry 2024/2025 asses. Nab the 2 best then move on.
  8. We have to get to the point where AI has it's first original thought for any of this to even be possible. Still haven't gotten there. AI is still just a fancy computational source. Still need humans to do the thinking and feed it parameters.
  9. That's why she was never going to Texas. She wants to be Luka Doncic ball dominant. Going to be difficult to do that with so many very good young guards at Texas.
  10. Jeff Howe is solid. Bobby is the numbers guy. He's the business man, but he gets in trouble talking ball. Due to a bit of limited knowledge of the depth of the sports he's OTF's Captain Obvious. The other day after day 1 of spring practice he said several of the freshman are "looking good but they aren't there yet. They are making freshman mistakes." Really, Bobby? The freshman are making freshman mistakes on Day 1 of spring practice? Who could have seen that coming. I had to turn it off after that one. Just on principle.
  11. No, it's because his family wanted him at LSU. Then Brian Kelly imploded in a post game, they looked like shit, and the family reconsidered after a less than stellar visit. Texas was telling him safety or CB the whole way. This staff isn't stupid enough to take a hard like stance on a kid this physically gifted and athletic. Safety isn't a position you want to force a guy who doesn't want to play it. It has a much more cerebral aspect to it than outside corner.
  12. How is she dumb? Texas already has a really good freshman PG and has the #5 player in this class committed who is a 6'1 PG/CG. Chavez wants to be a ball dominant PG. She doesn't want a crowded backcourt including a girl in her own class. It's the same reason you don't see 2 top QBs commit to the same school in the same cycle. Nothing dumb about it, and anyone who paid attention knew she wasn't going to go to Texas due to that. Pace of play is just an excuse to tell media.
  13. Our version is going to be one of your kids in a pedo bear costume while one of the dumb American dictator's morons sprays him with the nozzle turned the wrong way
  14. It's not better than the Dr Pepper Cherry Zero.
  15. You know why it's only a damn near 90 year old Bernie Sanders and a single young puerto Rican woman out there? Because democrats in Congress aren't the ones being devastated by this lunacy. They're rich too. They're benefiting from the insider trading, bribes, and corruption. Why would they risk pissing the dictator off and getting hate mail and death threats from his army of idiots? Risk getting Kash's FBI or Tulsi's intelligence community, or Pam "We are privileged to serve Donald Trump" Bondi's Justice department sent to attack them? It's over. The evil stupid have won because the cowards are fleeing
  16. It's basically going to come down to this clueless admin, or a small group of military leaders who see opportunity and swoop in to kill them and take power for themselves. Democracy will not be restored in the US. It is a banana republic/east asian authoritarian shithole country now. Where the only question is will the military overthrow the dictator and how long will civil war last. In a country of 330 million people, every race in existence on the planet represented, and over 400 million guns.
  17. Shit, if this exact thing, or the previous 100 exact things this administration have done over the last month, would have been done exactly one year ago today? Massive scandal, impeachment with democrats voting for removal, and a landslide victory for trump and this band of shit in November instead of the slim one.
  18. No, no ,no. You're supposed to give them flowers and a kiss on the cheek. So when you're being persecuted later by the trump gestapo they can look and say "hey honey, you remember that weirdo who gave me flowers and a kiss on the cheek? That fag was a traitor! Look, he's being deported by the king".
  19. We are in a state of zero security. These morons are already hacked by the Chinese, with the info being sold to the highest bidders, and a world full of enemies growing larger by the week. How much time until a major terrorist attack? It has to be a matter of when and not If with the state of things now.
  20. I have to know... Did your kid just join despite all of your strenuous objections? Is he a maga? I can't imagine why anyone with half an unwashed brain would volunteer to join the military with the prospect of Donald Trump returning as president looming over the country. I'd commit suicide before joining this shit show.
  21. That's just stupid. He's the elite talent. He's the one destroying 3 seed ISU right now with a low level program while we embarrassed ourselves losing in the first 4 play in. He's the one that will be getting another elite job very soon, probably at UNC or Kansas, while we try to throw enough money to get Sean Miller over the hump. There's a reason elite talent gets major leeway. Why Michael Jordan could punch the shit out of teammates in practice. Why Shaq could be supremely lazy and almost never practice hard. Why Michael Irvin could almost kill a teammate with scissors to the neck in training camp. Why Urban Meyer could cheat and fuck around as much as he wanted. Elite talent cannot be replaced easily if at all. Once you have an elite talent, you do everything to make sure it works as long as they're producing elite results.
  22. I don't think you understand judging based on adequate sample size and not a single data point. Every program is going to be up and down at times. But this century, the last 25 years, the University of Florida has owned us in men's money sports. If they can achieve that level of success in all 3 there's no excuse for a brand just as big, if not bigger, with more money to do it. Other than incompetence.
  23. Shit, hiring Derka to coach would be an upgrade over the shit we ran out there for 2 years. Not a high bar to clear at all.
  24. Ole Miss has never made an elite 8 and hasn't been to the sweet 16 since 2001. Watching this just reminds me why this guy wins in March and had Texas Tech a few minutes away from a national title. They play smart situational basketball. Right now if you notice they will not give up the 3. They aren't sagging to help off the drive as quickly and they aren't diving under screens. On offense they're maintaining their motion offense and aren't trying to sit on the lead like fools. This dude is an elite coach. And we fucked it all up.
  25. It's an impossible thing to judge because we don't know who the realistic candidates were. It's possible Sean Miller as a reclamation project coming off scandal is the best option we had given whatever the self imposed budget restrictions on the search happened to be. My point is we already had a PR reclamation project coming off an arrest under contract 2 years ago, so the AD going that route is an admission they fucked up by not keeping Beard. It's incongruent to hire a guy fired in scandal 2 years after you fired a guy in a minor scandal. I think if you got CDC liquored up a bit and alone in conversation he'd admit the truth of either 1) he wanted to do a suspension then retain Beard but was forced to fire him from above, or 2) he fucked up and made a bad decision at the time. That's a terrible mindset. The University of Florida has multiple NCs in football, basketball, and baseball since 2000. There's absolutely no reason we shouldn't be up there in that stratosphere as a men's athletics powerhouse in the 2 big money sports and baseball. The reason we aren't is because for much of the time the basketball program has been mismanaged and treated as an afterthought. There's no excuse for it if Florida can make it happen.
