It’s certainly hot in Texas, but I doubt weather will be a significant factor.

The poster you quoted never said we are going to suck. That’s just a stupid football board straw man. Pointing out legitimate areas of concern while 90% of this board does their usual August swim in an ocean of practice report koolaid does not equate to “sucking”.

There is a decent discussion about our football team and its possible flaws amidst the usual sea of “gained 20 pounds of muscle” and “the light finally came on”. That’s not a bad thing. If you prefer, just head on over to 9.95 to see some commitment tweets from recruits who never visited our campus while we wait for McKinley on 9/1.

I’m somewhat with you. My biggest question mark for the year is Sark, but otherwise I would say it’s the below three things. I’m very hopeful on 1 and 2. Overall, this staff has done an incredible job of infusing talent all over this roster. 1. Ewers - can he make the necessary leap. Obviously supremely talented. He has an A+ play caller, A+ tackles, and A+ receivers; there is no excuse. I don’t love his overall vibe for a quarterback, but that could all be bullshit. I’m hopeful. 2. Interior Offensive Line - the woes are well documented. Bijan made a lot of chicken salad out of chicken shit last year. DJ Campbell obviously has NFL talent and in theory should be an improvement at RG, but a true sophomore is still pretty young on the offensive line. 3. Pass Rush - I’ll be surprised if we have anything better than a tepid pass rush (can Collin Simmons pull a Ewers and enroll now?). Fortunately our secondary should be very good if Catalon can stay healthy. This team should be able to out talent every team on our schedule other than Bama, but I’m from Missouri with Sark.

It’s a little trendy/high end so Im not sure about a 10 year old, but abcv is awesome. Or just any Indian place.

Williams would only play at Guard if Jones couldn’t slide to Guard. Williams is absolutely a better college tackle. I also feel like I remember Kent Perkins being much better than Hayden Connor, but I’ve tried to block that period out so I could be wrong. Otherwise, yikes that 2015 roster is ugly. The secondary in particular is holy shit bad.

If we go worse than 9-3 with this talent and this schedule, buckle up for a nice run of mediocrity

I assume the former, but I became a reader post-college, which was after the News acquisition.

As an avid reader of the WSJ, I can confirm that their opinion section is suited for people with 2 digit IQs. It’s basically the Tyler Morning Telegraph opinion section with mass distribution. About once a year I accidentally read something so mind-numbingly stupid that I cancel my sub. They always get me back with some silly promo a few days later.

Posted in the Vegas thread, but caught a nice little heater on Saturday at the Bellagio while flying high on mushrooms with four buddies. One of my friends was rolling. The rest of the table was going crazy, and could not understand why we were supremely more chill than they were. Each of us cashed out doubled up. Of course got wiped out the night before, so it was much needed.

I remember thinking our line in 2018 being pretty decent with Anderson and Cosmi at tackles.

I’m not really a Vegas guy, but was convinced to go with a couple guys this past weekend. Friday night was a typical shit show, but Saturday was a really fun day. 7:50 tee time at Paiute with incredible 70 degree weather. Took mushrooms around 2pm and played craps for a few hours at the Bellagio. After getting wiped on Friday night, all four of us doubled up at a great table and finished slightly up for the weekend. Went to some dim sum place to come down and relive the day. Flight back to the east coast was rough on Sunday. I’m getting too old for this shit.

Quinn looked like a 47 year old man on most of his scrambles last year.

I love the classic, brushed oyster bracelet, but the polished center link they put on the DJs, GMTs and Daytona is just way too blingy for me (subjectively of course).

Fuck yeah let’s go. Any recipe? And where did you find the morels?

Back on my dumb shit

Yep. We had 5 composite 5 stars just from 2018-2021 (Sanders, Bijan, Sterns, Foster, Whittington, not including Bru), then just 2 (Darius James and Malik) from 2013-2017. Of course we had like 9 from 2010-2012, but I digress.

I’m pretty bearish on Sark in general, but even I have to give the guy his props. This is the best overall recruiting stretch (taking into account balance across position groups, particularly important groups) since before Mack gave up after 2005, right?

Not to interrupt the erudite discussion re Ben Chode, but what time are we getting that sweet sweet commitment today?
