  1. That’s a really good get for them. Can really stretch a defense.
  2. Because humans are stubborn and don’t like to be told they are wrong. Nothing more than that.
  3. Looks like Cutter Boley will be ASU’s new starting QB. Anything is better than watching Jeff Sims take snaps. Hopefully we get him a good offensive line and a WR or two.
  4. This is the good stuff.
  5. @Derka Got some more hard in the paint for you. This is how you tell these folks what you think of them and that you aren’t scared to say it. The Charlie Kirk stuff was just the chef’s kiss. This man needs to start posting on here.
  6. President Petro I regret to inform you that President Pedo will likely be invading your country soon to take the Juan Valdez coffee empire and all the rest of what you have. I really dislike being from America right now. We are run by fascists who have no one to rein them in since Democrats can’t figure Doug how to counter fascism. Just infuriating.
  7. Seems like a fair amount to ask for. Guess it depends on what Cal will spend. Again though it’d be great if ASU put in an offer. I really don’t follow the portal transfer stuff or NIL money so whatever new guys we get is cool. This guy would hopefully be one of them.
  8. Is this guy related to Helobious?
  9. Anytime Chevy Chase is discussed the conversation will always veer towards his incredibly unstable personality. For those not aware his grandfather was Miles Browning. Browning was someone who was looked at as being exceptionally intelligent and someone that Naval Historian Samuel Eliot Morison said had a “slide-rule brain.” Browning also was a violent drunkard on the Kelly Turner level, serial cheater and had a personality that only a badger would find to be warm. He was Admiral Halsey’s chief of staff and was at Midway as the chief of staff for Admiral Spruance due to Halsey being sidelined due to health issues. In an episode that will forever be remembered as who he quintessentially was, when the pilots returned from their first flight, Wade McClusky had made it back with just two gallons of fuel. Browning had his own plan for the next flight out against the IJN and McClusky rightfully called him out and said he was wrong. Admiral Spruance, the most level-headed and intelligent man in the entire US Navy according to Admiral King, sat and listened and being a Big Guns Club admiral or a black shoes admiral if you will, asked the pilots what they thought was the best course of action. Admiral Spruance knew he did not have any experience flying so when the pilots stated their case he sided with McClusky and co. Browning threw a tantrum and went to his cabin to rage about this. Mind you the US Navy is in a battle where they are wiping out four Japanese carriers and this selfish clown is mad that his plan was denied. Turns out McClusky was right on what they did next. Browning was so hated that they gave him a carrier to command and the people on that one all wanted off because they hated him even more. I say that to say that a good bit of those genetics were passed onto Chevy. He was every bit the equal of Miles Browning on the people hate him scale, but only Browning was looked at as the most hated man in US Naval history.

  10. Whatever school gets WR Jackson Harris from Hawai’i is getting a great wideout. Had 49 catches, 12 TD’s and 20ypc. Big target with great open field speed. From Berkeley so maybe he transfers to Cal, but I would hope ASU makes him an offer. We need a #1 WR.
  11. Tech had an elite defense. I would put that side of the ball with anyone. Offensively they struggled all year. The conference overall this year was Tech and the rest of it was forgettable. I would say that if it expands to 16, which it will, you’ll have two teams in. There are still just a small handful of teams in the conference that want to win and have the ability to do it though. I think we’ll see some teams eventually fold their football programs within the next 20 years in several of th conferences that aren’t in the top two leagues.
  12. I hope 2026 allows each of you to grow as a person and that you can do one small thing each day for someone that makes their day better. I strongly feel that you grow more as a person when you incorporate kindness into your daily routine. Do nice things and do most of them when you will not be getting noticed for them.
  13. Get a new surfboard and get some use out of it. Have the miracle of miracles happen and catch an Ulua from shore. This would require me to not take naps while I fish so this will be a difficult one. Read 50+ books and have at least 30 or more of them not be class related reading.
  14. I feel like this is a good place to put this.
  15. This was at the swearing in ceremony for Mayor Mamdani. If you are familiar with NYC politics you know who Jumaane Williams is. The best descriptor I have for him is if you asked me to name an American that walks the walk and genuinely cares about their fellow human beings this is who I would say is the ideal. I remember listening to him in August 2020 at the March on Washington. He is not a naturally gifted speaker, but he still excels at it. He wears his emotions on his sleeve like a political Dick Vermeil and you’ll see that in this. I am proud of him and what he has done to make New York City better. It is possible to be a public servant and not lose your soul in the process. Mr. Williams is living proof of that.
  16. Okay makes sense. I really have spent zero time understanding NIL and whatnot. In my rudimentary understanding I thought schools have a cap on what they can spend, but outside money is however much they want to spend. I am sure I am probably way off on the specifics. If Campbell wants to spend money on the school he graduated from go for it. Spend as much as you legally can and pay the players in whatever sport you see fit. There are issues I know I think differently on than Campbell, but sports-wise spend on your school if that is what you want to do.
  17. I think it’ll be an issue until they hire a head coach that understands that side of the ball. McGuire isn’t that. All those relationships with HS coaches matter far less now. It’s what are you paying to get players to Lubbock? They need an actual college head coach to take the next step.
  18. I was just reading an article about Landry and he said he always maintained the same expression because he was thinking two plays ahead and he wanted his guys to know there was someone competent and in charge of things on the sideline.
  19. I think anyone who saw Tech this year knew their offense was a big issue for them. They were not built on that side of the ball to beat any of the teams in the SEC or BIG 10. They desperately needed an offense that could at least put up something. Asking their defense to do it all for them is a bit much.
  20. Look you line them up against Carthage and you’re looking at a nice 4A DII state runner-up finish for the Owls.
  21. I haven’t followed most of this real closely so I am not sure what he’s inferring. What are the actual rules on NIL money? What is Campbell allegedly doing that’s not above board? I feel like the only rule is there are none, but I also do not delve too deeply into the money aspect of things.
  22. I would not really dispute that view. I guess I just can’t understand why he was afforded the opportunity to be the head coach this year when he showed he is in over his head before the big money rolled in. To me it just means another wasted season next year if he is at the helm. I want the Big XII rep to have a good showing the playoffs and have an offense that is competent. Such a waste of an incredible defensive unit. That defense paired with an offense with explosive talent and good QB play wins a title in my opinion.
  23. That stuff is great if you win. When your offense does just about what it was capable of today and leaves that ridiculously good defense high and dry it’ll leave a mark. I believe Campbell said publicly that they found their coach in McGuire. Campbell might should realize that coach he loves is a clown with zero ability to coach at this level. He’s Mack Brown with no VY and even less football acumen. If Tech is serious about winning fire him after next year and see who you can money whip to come to Lubbock.
