  1. Land Thief recruiniks have been saying Riley needs to focus on the DL. I thought they meant something different...
  2. Let's not forget the massive hypocrisy of demanding Bru McCoy not count as (technically) a transfer but also demanding that a JUCO transfer count if they think it will look bad for Texas. That level of double think means it's a slam dunk to happen with aggy.
  3. They would have to STOP complaining first before they could start again...
  4. Different strokes for different folk....oh nevermind.
  5. Love the athleticism but he is very, very raw. Bad: plays too high, especially run blocking. Just buries people with his height and weight advantage. Let's rushers get into his body too often in pass pro. Good: ridiculous balance and footwork for a guy his size. Good mobility for such a huge dude. Flexibility - he does a good job of staying down in his pass blocking stance so the pad level in run blocking is clearly a technique issue rather than due to lack of ability. Agility - it was almost funny to watch a 330 pounder cut block a DE. I wish I could have seen the defender's face. Great raw material for Hand to shape into a powerful work of art.
  6. So from the outside you can't smell it. From the inside you're in denial?
  7. I just did a test batch of Kalbi (Korean style BBQ beef ribs). 24 hr+ marinade cycle. Damn cold forced me inside to the oven instead of a proper charcoal grilling on the Kamado. Broiler pan, 400 degrees, 5 mins per side then cranked it up to broil for 2 minutes for a little char. Felt sacrilegious but didn't stop me from enjoying. Incidentally, do you need an image hosting account or is there some way to post pictures directly to Surly.
  8. Context matters. When I first saw that picture, it seemed really cringe worthy. Now it looks like a bold display of TH's lack of GAF.
  9. The parade of big uglies headed to Austin is an absolutely beautiful sight.
  10. I agree as long as the S&C coach is good and assessment is included under the recruiting header. OL is the toughest position to assess and the one which seems to have the highest rate of false positives as well as false negatives coming out of HS. If the staff can choose guys who will develop into solid OL with adequate coaching 75-80% of the time, you're already way ahead of the curve. If you can also get superior position coaching and S&C development on top of that...
  11. Baggins came in with one-time advantages that he won't be able to replicate going forward. He basically tied with LSU and Lincoln Riley and was beaten by Tom Herman. The blind squirrel NC sales pitch won't look so great now that he has an actual track record at aggy. The new coach smell has definitely faded and the Sugar Bowl decisively corrected the misconception that aggy was the rising program in the State of Texas. Now it gets tougher. Jimbo can still convince certain recruits to come to Collie $tation for $pecific reason$. But that's not enough to win the recruiting battle with Texas.
  12. Braun is a run blocking machine who's coming to Austin to hone his pass blocking skills for the next level. He's already got the agility and footwork to stay in front of an interior pass rusher; he needs to work on his pass pro technique. Looked good the few times he did it at GT but who knows how much was the surprise factor.
  13. Braun is going to kill it on power and counter. Replacing Vahe with a truly mobile OG should allow Herman to run more outside zone as well.
  14. It does when your only other choice is Hilo.
  15. I guess Tom Herman and Todd Orlando are bona fide geniuses to turn a bunch of slow DL into a defense was twice as good as Alabama at shutting down Georgia's running game...
  16. Brewster, the Marine and now McDonald. I guess they all left for jobs better than the NFL and Jimbo replaced them with better guys.. /sarc
  17. He'll be a better WR than most of the guys drafted in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. The idiot NFL is obsessed with "measurables" because they can't scout for crap. Any of those Georgia WRs will test better at the combine than LJH just did. They are fast, strong, run bad routes and drop a lot of balls. They also are not great at reading defenses, which is LJ's hidden strength. Notice that he and Sam were on the same page on option routes 95% of the time? Contrast that with how often Fromm seemed to be throwing to nobody downfield because the WR made a bad (or at least different) read. LJ also gets open against zones constantly and makes tough catches in traffic. Combine tells us jack about those truly important attributes.
  18. So she promised the half and half but only delivered half of it?
  19. Warning: NSFW - just like aggy
  20. Kirk Herbstreit Burned 5 Hotdogs?
  21. Polar bear cubs, baby seals and rescue animals.
  22. Sure but you could get a national network by joining Amway.
