  1. Kinda feels like the 9.95ers are running hit pieces on the kid this week. Also, I haven't seen a single 9.95er practice report from yesterday other than freaking Hookah Horn. None of them thought that'd be a relevant follow-up after the scrimmage?
  2. All fair but counterpoint to #3: IF Card really does clearly outplay Ewers in camp, the team would be witnessing that. Wouldn't it be worse culturally to name a starter that hasn't looked as good just because of their name/hype? Anyway, the above is why I think Sark is just waiting for Ewers to have a few days of superior play vs Card and then will name him starter.
  3. Jeez y'all - He literally said nothing about the team on reddit and he's on here telling you it's not about the team. Plus, what team news do you expect to be broken on a radio station? He probably got hired to work there or something, which apparently will indeed piss a bunch of Surly posters off
  4. Well looks like IT is already contradicting him on Banks...
  5. Are we supposed to believe this guy? Feel like these alleged IT insiders are full of shit
  6. Sark's full comments on Agiye are actually pretty good. Cliff notes - it wasn't just the one event and they're helping him with a plan to get his head on straight. I interpreted it as, the dude needs some mental health support / counseling and they're working with him to get it, then will bring him back when he's in a better place. (starts around 2:20 of the video)
  7. It's quite common to hold kids back in pre-K or kindergarten and it's not for athletic reasons.
  8. So he probably got held back in pre-K, that doesn't really change the point. He's had the same football experience as a true freshman.
  9. My point is that I think a lot of uber-rich UT alums feel like there are much better uses of their money than spending it to win football games. Whether that's the educational side of UT, buying a vacation house, other charities, hookers, investments that actually return money, or whatever. Ex: Michael Dell. He probably doesn't have a moral issue with paying players. He just thinks a new computer science building is a lot more important than football.
  10. Probably living in a place like College Station where they have nothing else to care about..
  11. He probably didn't get many reps at OSU. He joined the team after summer workouts, so obviously was way behind learning the playbook, leading to him getting whatever reps were left over for the 3rd/4th stringer. I'm pretty much viewing him as a true freshman. His Sr year at Southlake might've even been better development than the 3 months at OSU.
  12. I thought they looked pretty even in the spring game (from the brief snippets LHN actually showed lol). Neither awful, neither amazing. Also didn't Ewers supposedly ball out in the closed scrimmage before the spring game?
  13. All true but last year we could sell the whole "it's year 1 and we inherited a dumpster fire" thing. The whole "we're on the rise" pitch gets a lot harder if we suck again
  14. As far as I'm concerned, the Week 1 OL is set now that Ang is sadly out. Banks - Connor - Majors - Hutson - Jones. No more tinkering, just let them get the reps and build unit cohesion.
  15. Could also see more 2 RB sets with Bijan running routes. Go-go time baby!
  16. Lost in all this is that Angilau was supposedly working with the 2nd team before he got hurt. Had Hutson passed him up at G? Very surprising if so.
  17. I guess we're finally going to see the great white buffalo Troy Omeire in action! Time to see just how full of shit those 9.95ers have been this whole time.
  18. Oh no now we might lose that game!
  19. Assuming Neyor regains his full speed/agility when he returns (which to be fair, most guys seem to do these days). Very killer for this year's team but yeah could be huge having him next year when we have a better chance of being relevant (experienced OL, Ewers year 2). My main concern for this year is winning enough games to keep this recruiting class together.. It's weird too because we had an amazingly healthy offseason last year. Then first week this year, they're dropping like flies
  20. Ourlads (idk how reliable) says Omeire. Feel like I've heard more about Casey Cain though in practice reports. Milton has been pegged for slot but maybe he's the one that steps in.
  21. To be fair, IT bungled it too
  22. Irrelevant imo. You don't bank on True Freshmen making an impact anyway.
  23. Isn't Casey Cain in line to take Neyor's starting spot?
  24. We went from loading up the WR room to right back where we were last year in the span of a week..
  25. Fuuuck losing Neyor is brutal
